Nas and Damian Marley - As We Enter Remix (Tinie Tempah)

Wow, I've been gone for a month- more or less off the grid as I re-center myself around my two priorities in life right now: 1) music - Djing, blogging, sharing and 2) helping companies improve the world through corporate responsibility.

So I'm back, and here's some music I'm digging, sent to me via RCRD LBL:



"Tinie Tempah—who’s not exactly the quietest, most obscure kid on the hip-hop block—gets to spit as Nas and Damian Marley look on, heads bobbing, no doubt, to soul-shine horn parps and party-up bass. Someone here seems to be doing a cat impression, too. Not sure who’s responsible for that."

Mos Dub

Whether you partake in 4/20 or not, these Mos Def dub remixes are perfect for this Tuesday evening. Created by NYC DJ and Producer @Max Tannone, it was as if Mos' beats and rhymes were meant for dub and reggae. Mos Dub is one piece of a series of amazing mashups including Jadiohead (Jay-Z and Radiohead) and Beastie Boys with Beastie Boys. Listen to 10 Mos Dub tracks and download them for free HERE

DJ Erok - F.A.M.E. Lounge Mega Mix - Free DL and Stream

Good afternoon folks - here's a recording of my live set from the F.A.M.E. party in Boston last week at Via Matta. It was a steamy night - with Boston temps keeping partygoers warm all night while I dropped a 3.5 hr collection of chill and smooth tracks to make the lounge experience complete. Via Matta gave out free DragonFruit Mojitos and gourmet pizza while local artists and designers showcased their creative arts. You can download it or stream it - share it with friends, do what you will. Enjoy!

Blanco Bros "Leftism 3" Mixtape - new from Om Records' J-Boogie and Sake One

This is NICE. The Blanco Bros - aka Om Records' J-Boogie and Sake One - deliver their newest mix tape and it is quite a treat - an hour plus of new music, edits and remixes from Major Lazer, DamFunk, Nicolay, Joy Jones, Nickodemus, Georgia Ann Muldrow, K’naan and more. This is part of the mix tape series from the Blanco Bros called "Leftism" - which I believe is an homage to the downtempo heritage of left field style music - experimental, almost ambient, always groovy.

Weekend Groove - Laid Back Radio

This weekend's groove is Laid Back Radio out of Brussels. The internet and FM show broadcasts every Wednesday and posts their shows and mixes on MixCloud, including original tracks from its guests on Soundcloud. Laid Back says it all - it's a downtempo amalgamation of soul, funk, hip hop grooves - very engaging downtempo that you can choose to chill out or move to. Like traditional radio, the hosts intersperse music with interviews, music news and other quips about the downtempo realm. It serves as quite nice listening for your weekend. Enjoy!
