I uncovered this DJ/Producer searching for a random Jazzanova remix via hypem.com. Turns out that I found some heat in that house/dance/funk/disco/70s era. This dude pays tribute to all the classical feel good vibes that make you want to dance. Only a few tracks can be found via blogs and online means, but I seriously recommend this to all the house heads out there.
Enjoy the FRESH linkage!!
Here is a little taste of what I am talking about:
3 years after Dilla's life was taken by complications from Lupus, it is still obvious that he has still left us with so much more music, and most of it floating around on blogs and Z-Shares- alike for the free download route. Well this is not one of those 'unofficial' albums right here. I've heard many previews and bit's and pieces of this album in the making and can tell you that this has that raw feel that DONUTS had. JAY $TAY PAID had the blessing and is Executive Produced by Ms. Yancey, which makes it even that much more special. Dilla's Idol, Pete Rock, mixes the tracks and is responsible for the arrangement. Most of the tracks are instrumentals, as they should be, but cameos by MF DOOM,Black Thought of the Roots, the homie BLU, and others round out the album.
"It wasn't rushed and it wasn't haphazard," explains Ms Yancey. "This album combines what he did in the beginning of his career, what he did in some of our early hospital stays, which was very deep, and some stuff pulled from old floppy disks & DATs. Its mind blowing...this is like the missing links to Dilla's legacy."
Check the preview by J.Rocc Gems.

MAN vs. NATURE So, a couple quarters back I'm always cruising through some fine art blogs just to get some inspiration on color-ways for many of my design projects, and here I come across these pieces by Josh Keyes . He's originally from the Pacific Northwest but now hails from Oakland, California and it's no secret that his art has an environmentally conscious theme to it. Check how he marries the contrast between the serene animals within these post-apocalyptic settings. It's reminiscent of Dali or some other Surrealist, but what is unique about this is the way each subject seems to be cut right out of the environment and is just floating in the negative space. These illustrations seriously remind me of those old science books we used to read in elementary. Dig deeper and check out the graff writing details in his other pieces. Feeling that piece with the shark swimming through the oil fire/spill. I need to get a print of one of these.
So I was just checking out the blog of Yumkimi Nagano from Sweden's Little Dragon (my favorite band waiting for their sophmore album due out in Oct.), it's called Electric Forest and she posted up this old throwback of the Isley Brother's performing 'Shout!' and they were just groovin'! It kinda inspired me to bring an Isley favorite of mine, which I just barely found out was a cover song originally written by rocker Todd Rundgren. Then I found this old fusion Nazz cover as well. Anyways peep all three versions if your in that kinda mood. Hello It's Me. Oh i'm sorry, the John Legend version is a nice attempt but comes nowhere close to these three.
In today's morning emails I come across an e-blast that caught my eye. It wasn't the 58% discount, but what the rash guard protects! I thought Rash Guards prevented chafing from sliding on and off of the surf board. I guess I'll wait for the rash guard that protects buttery brown skin.
