RJD2 and Don Draper would be proud. ANTHM flips the theme to "Mad Men" for his latest.

If you have listened to anything by the Roots, Hot Sugar, and/or Hezekiah in the past year, you have heard the golden pipes of Aaron Livingston. That’s especially true if you checked out his Icebird project with RJD2, which I…

Der Instrumental-Hip-Hop-Produzent Tony Simon, alias Blockhead hat einen Minimix zu seinem taufrischen Langspieler veröffentlicht. Das knapp 20-minütige Stück offeriert einen Einblick in Simons kürzlich erschienenes, gleichnamiges Album. Als selbsterklärter Vinyl-Liebhaber greift der New Yorker Künstler wie gewohnt auf altmodische Vocalsamples, sowie Downtempo-Beats der 90er Jahre zurück. In kompletter Länge ist "Interludes After Midnight" beim Londoner Label Ninja Tune erschienen. In den Mix könnt ihr an dieser Stelle reinhören: Blockhead - "Interludes After Midnight" Mit seinem Langspieler " The Music Scene " bewies Tony Simon Anfang 2010, dass mit den Veröffentlichungen der großen Instrumental-Hip-Hop-Künstler DJ Shadow und RJD2 noch längst nicht das letzte Wort ...

Visit Indie Shuffle to download. Sounds like: Pretty Lights, RJD2 Song: Gramatik - Good Evening Mr. Hitchcock [download here ] What's so good? Sometime late last year, we covered Gramatik’s album Beatz & Pieces, Vol. 1 . In doing so, we somehow neglected to share the track “Good Evening Mr. Hitchcock.” So, I figured better late than never — it’s time to make amends. If this song isn’t a strong enough indication as to why Pretty Lights has picked up Gramatik on his label, I don’t know what is. Honestly, it’s so groovey that I can’t help but ...

It has been a little over a month since SXSW descended upon the tiny city of Austin, and now that the dust has settled, we are beginning to see some great documentaries emerge. One such series was filmed and produced by SPIN (with the help of Absolut) , who followed three bands around. Today we’re taking a look at their time spent with Doomtree, a hip-hop collective from Minnesota who remind me a bit of ...

The king of old school rap meets one of today’s most groundbreaking DJs in this great mash-up by Andrew Gentry. It’s as if RJD2 produced this track specifically with Biggie’s rhymes bouncing around in the back of his head. And the flow couldn’t be more beautiful — a true testament to the flexibility of good hip hop. It’s not until about 1:30 that ...

It takes a lot to impress me when it comes to pushing musical boundaries and artistic interpretations these days. Just received this video recently and wanted to share it with you. Just over 9 minutes in length, a group of 20 musicians play live snippets of 38 songs from a vast variety of genres going back 100 years in one take. The band is called Dancefloor Diplomacy and they are calling this unique style "collage music". Here is the video: Here is the list of all the songs sampled in the performance: Aphex Twin - ”Jynweythek Ylow” Blur - ”Song 2″ Britney ...

Visit Indie Shuffle to download. Sounds like: Cloud, Hird, Thievery Corporation Song: Plej - Thrill [download here ] What's so good? Plej are brothers Arvid and Erik Niklasson. They’re based out of the Sweden, and appropriately called their 2003 debut album Electronic Music From The Swedish Leftcoast . While they’ve only had one release since (2008′s Home Is Where The Heart Is ), their debut contained a couple gems. “Thrill,” obviously, was one of those gems. With a chilled-out but quick-tempo drumbeat, the song meanders through trip-hop landscapes in a repetitive but soothing manner. Perhaps this would have been most-appropriate ...
