Andy Allo -- "Dreamland" (featuring Blu) Spotted: SK Check out this beautiful video from songbird Andy Allo. The song "Dreamland" is from her debut LP UnFresh, which is available on iTunes. Originally from Cameroon, a country of central and western Africa, the Los Angeles transplant began gathering monies to record her first album at the age of 21. Now the 22-year-old singer-actress-model is basking in...

[Rap’s Worst Weed Carriers] The Flipmode Squad: After Busta [Rhymes] had a falling-out with Charlie Brown, who refused to stash his trees on GP as a member of L.O.N.S., Buss needed a new entourage to handle his ever-increasing carrying requirements as he embarked upon his solo career. First up to bat was his cousin Rampage The Last Boyscout, who started off OK but was soon...

Another great flea market find. This album is from 1979 on the group's own label (Tabou Combo Records and Tapes). You can find another press on Barclay (France) but this track is really THE tune of this LP and has been sampled by an english producer on a dope label some months ago.... I really love the french vovals "Ooooh, c'est magnifique...". Caribbean disco at his top = girls should sing and shake their asses on this !

Já aqui falamos da Stones Throw Records, dos domingos da Do-Over e também de Flying Lotus (várias vezes). Mas não ficamos por aqui. Continuando a nossa adoração pela cidade dos anjos e a Califórnia temos de juntar a isso os nomes Daedelus, Nosaj Thing, Gonjasufi, Gaslamp Killer, Dâm-Funk, Nite Jewel e as festas Low End Theory.

E há pessoas que não vêem tanto as luzes da ribalta. Uma dessas pessoas é Miguel Atwood-Ferguson, multi-instrumentalista, compositor e produtor freelance, cuja carreira, após graduação na University of Southern California, já passou por colaborações com os mais variadíssimos compositores e artistas desde John Williams e Quincy Jones a Erykah Badu ou Dr. Dre.
Mais recentemente foi também ele o responsável pelos arranjos de cordas no famigerado “Cosmogramma” e participou nas festas de lançamento do mesmo, integrando a banda Infinity, que tem vindo a acompanhar Steven Ellison ao longo deste ano de 2010.

Mais recentemente, no passado mês de Julho, Miguel e o seu Miguel Atwood-Ferguson Ensemble participaram nos concertos de Verão da California Plaza – Grand Performances – e contaram com a participação especial de Bilal e Flying Lotus.
Em baixo podem ver um excerto desse concerto, em que o colectivo interpreta “Drips” (Flying Lotus) e “Take Notice” (J. Dilla). O download do audio também está disponível, aqui. Para apreciar com atenção!

Another remix for you – coming thick and fast now eh? Well not really, this is the second one but a third will be added soon. This time I have remixed the genre spanning Tal M Klein’s slo-mo balearic chill out disco based groover – Without Her. Other people on the remix tip include The Hardway Brothers, DJ DRM and Fromage Disco. So its a nice healthy package of differences presented, and you should be able to buy it both on vinyl and digitally at some point in October. Id like to thank Tal for giving me the opportunity to work with him, and hope that you all enjoy the variety on the release.

Because we live in the modern age all of the tracks are available on Soundcloud for you to have a listen and make some comments, and if you wish to do so, they are all embedded below. Its really smart the Internet, isn’t it.

Ron Isley -- "Close to You" (Featuring Lauryn Hill) (via Rap-Up) This will probably go down as the oddest duet of the year, but it works! Ron Isley somehow manage to get the reclusive Lauryn Hill to sing with him on a song. The Mr. Biggs and L-Boogie duet is a remake of the Burt Bacharach & Hal David-penned song "(They Long to Be) Close...

Los Angeles rapper E Reece has dropped a new video for his inspirational song "Confession of a Dreamer" (featuring Dasha) from his latest LP Concrete Steppin. The clip features E Reece reflecting on his upbringing and the obstacles he had to overcome to become the man that he is today. Check out the video and reach for your dreams. Holla!

Charlie Wilson -- "You Are" (via Facebook) Charlie Wilson is back with a new ballad that will probably get major spins at weddings this fall. The song will appear on the crooner's still-untitled album, due out in October. I suggest playing this song when cuddling up with you significant other on a romantic autumn night. Oooo-wee! Holla!

My good friend King Most gave me this MJ beat flip a long time ago when we were doing the weekly Side Effect party. I was doing a little live blend with it for a minute but it slipped my mind 'till recently. Hooked up some added percussion and fills, etc to keep it moving. Thanks to that dude Patrick for sharing the instrumental, check out his TUMBLR for more goodies.

Deejay Ron Hardy died in 1991, and that's the only reason why he's not a star today. With the clubs he's been spinning for (especially the Muzic Box from 1983 to 1988), he was drawing the way of the new sounds of the night. Something was definitely changing, and he was part of the change. You know that one day 'Jack Has a Groove'... but did you really know when late Disco turned into early House music? Ron Hardy was it. Icon of the gay House nights of Chicago, that man was a deejay like some others are monk... it was everything for him, a sort of religion. Mixing speedy electro-pop with accelerated disco, edited disco-classics with acid tracks, when other deejays used to mix it warm... he used to mix it cold. One of his very close friends told me that he was almost never sleeping... mixing records all the time, doing weird things with his turntables. There was about nothing in his appartment, nothing but black shiny records, and a bed... and that for years since the 70's when he left for westcoast, the 80's when he came back to Chicago, until 91 when everything stopped. Too much drugs and awaken nights... he killed his own batteries for the music.
At least we still have the tapes of his talent and the memories of his friends.
