Mark Ronson on KCRW: A La ModelisteProducer/Musician extraordinaire Ronson">Mark Ronson stopped by KCRW’s studios today to talk about one of his newest creations, the track “A La Modeliste”.

It was part of “RE:GENERATION”, a documentary film that follows Ronson, DJ Premier, Pretty Lights, The Crystal Method, and Skrillex as they remix, recreate and re-imagine five traditional styles of music. Ronson was given the genre of jazz and says he aimed for the “pure second line” jazz piece and wanted ...KCRW10 February 2012

Jay-Z: Everything to Everyone...Wherein Nitsuh Abebe attends Jay Z’s (hey, that’s how Hova had it…) performance at Carnegie Hall and wonders about his reception among the New York elite and super-elite and super-not-elite. You might end up waiting for the Titanic reference the whole time. There were outfits that insisted the wearer comes here often; outfits that insisted the wearer does not come here often, and perhaps likes it that way; and outfits that said the wearer doesn’t come here often but is self-conscious about dressing appropriately. There were preppy teenagers whose parents brought them and city natives who were ...The Daily Swarm9 February 2012

Missy Elliott and Timbaland are backA lot has happened in the world of Hip Hop since the last Missy Elliott album: Dr Dre was going to release ‘Detox’ then he didn’t, Eminem had a ‘Relapse’ and forgot how to rap, then he had a ‘Recovery’ and remembered again, Snoop Dogg got banned from the UK, then we let him back in again, Mos Def turned his hand to acting, changed his name to Yasiin Bey, then reformed Black Star with Talib Kweli, Oukast didn’t split up but they kind of have really, and the new king of controversy is the skateboarding Odd Future ...The 4059 February 2012

Mix Tape: The Next Movement - Robert Glasper ..The fine folk at Bamalovesoul.com have been most kind in sending over their latest mixtape, The Next Movement , which sees lead Bamalover DJ Radhu string together a bevvy of cuts from jazzman supreme Robert Glasper. Glasper is a bit of a big deal in the jazz world, with his silky keyboard skills crossing the bridge between traditional jazz noodlings and more modern-day, hip hop influenced joints. With Glasper's fifth album, Black Radio , set to drop at the end of the month, Radhu decided to give him a helping hand on the promo front by selecting 17 top tunes ...A Grumpy Old Man With A Beard4 February 2012
