DJ Spinna: Intergalactic Soul by Ami Kealoha
DJ Spinna's upcoming release, Intergalactic Soul, is what you'd expect from this veteran of the New York hip hop scene who's remixed the likes of De La Soul and Das EFX and made beats for luminaries such as, Grand Puba, The Jungle Brothers, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, and Pharaohe Monch. Like his website says, on this album Spinna taps "into his perfected take on a truly cosmic boom-bap to a sexy, stylishly accessible brand of house and dance music that is unique only to him." Available at Amazon.

Le Loup: The Throne of the Third Heaven of the Nations Millennium General Assembly A weird mixture of banjos, percussion and computer sounds Le Loup creates an experimental sound that's still fun listening. Based on Sam Simkoff's original cheap recordings of a hodge-podge of inexpensive instruments, such as toy glockenspiels and an old banjo, and recorded using the microphone and recording software included with...

Flavorpill WMC: Chromeo Interview
Dave 1 (aka Dave Macklovitch) has been busy as hell of late. In addition to being a prolific hip-hop producer, the Montreal native has been pulling duty as Vice magazine's rap editor and is about to release a second album for Chromeo, the cheeky synth-funk outfit he created with his high school friend, Pee Thug (Patrick Gemayel). He's also working on his thesis in...

Karizma: A Mind of Its Own
Baltimore’s Kris Klayton, aka Karizma, displays a broad spectrum of musical directions—from hip-hop to deep tech-y house—on his new full-length R2 Records release, A Mind of Its Own. Karizma started out as a DJ at the ripe age of 13 in Baltimore, an often-overlooked hotbed of underground club culture. Following a stint on a Bmore radio station playing hip-hop, he and a house DJ...

Yao: Plaintain is Public
With an eclectic, densely-layered soundscape featuring everything from re-mixed 70s-era funk guitar over 90s beats to ominous and weird Kool Keith-style sounds, Oakland-based DJ Yao is very much a product of his generation—in the very best of ways. His recently-released debut album, Plaintain is Public, is a seamless trip through different moods and genres, "each track a vignette or short story," according to the press...

k-os
Trying to categorize Canadian native k-os's genre-busting third and latest album, Atlantis: Hymns for Disco will leave you tied in knots. The infectiously catchy album debuted at number one on the Canadian charts in October (it's soon to be released in the U.S.) and is Outkast, Cody Chestnutt, The Beastie Boys, and Gnarls Barkley all rolled into one and then some. Musical styles range...

James Brown RIP (1933-2006)
James Brown was undeniably one of the most influential and internationally respected musicians of all time. Unfortunately, many people’s exposure doesn’t go much deeper than bad covers of “I Got You (I Feel Good)” at weddings. James Brown’s Funky People is an essential collection of music written, produced, and performed by James Brown with the numerous side projects he released on his People imprint...
