-1- Today I wanted to share some DIFFERENT textures. Good music is good music, no matter where and no matter what. The first one, baobab, is kind of a mellow way to start the day, but I think the harmonies and arrangement interest me plus the rhythm and tempo kinda lead to an overall "good" feel.
Smile, you don't have to frown all the time!
* Thanks to SCOF (SMALL CIRCLE OF FRIENDS) for the reference. You'll want to check out this teaser of theirs if you're into cooled out Japanese Hip-Hop...oh, and tell em they need to collaborate with 12:51!Here's a link to the teaser and another of their many videos SCOF-Pass The Mic & SCOF-大脱走

-2-This one's for my friend back in a fine suburb of Chicago...Skokie. His name is Steve and he's a fellow eclectic music listener, cult movie watching kinda guy. "The dude" abides. Been two years since I seen him, but he's on my mind all the time. We've shared some great music, great drinks and smokes, and most importantly, great stories. A funny guy who I wish all the best, in fact, we're overdue for a day-long drive delivering office supplies to the most random places you could think of in the fine suburb of Skokie. This one's for you Stevie! PITZ, I ran into randomly but caught my ear something vicious. Well-worth checking out for the other vids if you're into progressive jazzy based electronic "things."

-3-This is a joint I ran into via THE FIND MAGAZINE. It could be labeled as Trip-hop, but I'd like to think it's a bit more progressive than that term would lead you to believe. Dirty Art Club has this tantalizing lo-fi ingenuity to it. Always catching you off-guard! Four thumbs up for me.
My good friend, Danny at The Find Magazine, has got some great thing going on. all things hip-Hop and super cool current beat based, can be easily found at their site (THE FIND MAGAZINE).
They offer great new record reviews, new videos, great interviews, free downloads and previews of exclusive mixtapes, full-lengths and a whole whopping heap of other goodies that could keep the most disciplined audiophile smiling and sore in the neck. My hats off too the entire staff for maintaining and staying above the crowd. Gotta get back to Amsterdam sometime soon too, but that's a different story for a different day. Quick shout to UNCUT HIP HOP and all the peoples in NL!
Have a different day!
