Cool Hunting
We've got a promo copy to give away of Bridgetown Breaks Vol. 2, the 2nd edition of all original, live drumming that features 10 of Portland's best drummers, including Kevin O'Connor of Talkdemonic and Danny Seim of Menomena. The brainchild of PJ Portlock, a Portland producer and musician—from rock to experimental and hip-hop to jazz—the release is a goldmine for DJs, producers, and other musicians looking for samples or individual beats separated out from each drummer's kit for programming. Available on CD and vinyl, you can get a copy from Bridgetown Breaks or get both by letting us know when and where you plan to listen to the album before next Tuesday, 25 July 2006 and we'll select a winner from the best answers.

He's also working on his thesis in...
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...
Until now, urban music festivals have largely stuck to the template laid down by their rural equivalents, with bands and DJs playing in big marquees in an open space like Hyde Park instead of one in Somerset. The Warehouse Project looks like it's set to turn the whole thing on its head, and not just because it's happening outside of summer. It comes to...
Hailing from the very heart of hip-hop culture (Ann Arbor, Michigan) Tadd Mullinix aka Dabrye is back on the shelves at your local record store (if you are lucky enough to still have one) with his third full-length release Two/Three. The enigmatic and fractional title is the follow up to his 2001 debut One/Three and 2002 sophomore release Instrmntl. Mullinix, who is quite the...
Two years after the lauded In Brazil, Gilles Peterson revisits his longstanding love for that country's music with Back In Brazil, a two-disc set that spans undiscovered classics from the '60s and 70s' as well as of-the-minute Brazilian sounds. The first album, Das Velhas, features an old school collection of kitschy gems that have made frequent appearances on Gilles playlists over the years, including...
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...
