Gabriel from Heatwave sent this over.  It is, as they say ‘a portable party for your mp3 player’.  You might black out and find yourself daggering the coatrack in your office, so be careful.  Hardcore dutty dancehall, don’t play this for your kids.  A nice fast mix with a lot of the new crazy riddims, mashups etc. coming out.

Amanda Diva – Rebels

This is from Diva‘s recent, excellent FreEP titled Spandex, Rhymes, & Soul, and the zShare link is still live.  I saw Diva perform a few months back, and she ripped it.  She’s also a brilliant poet/lyricist, and her wordplay and spirit on “Rebels” effectively conjures images of people tired of living in oppressive situations and marching up “to the Capitol, front lawns, and gardens” and rebelling against the political and social system.
I can actually picture her (in all her loveliness) standing on the steps of the Capitol screaming at the top of her lungs to other protesters “…I’m tired of them thinking I’m less than! Well, it’s time to stand up! Come on, get up! Gather ’round! —repeat after me.  We gon take this thing and take it over!”

Lookout for the Dutty Artz Recession Rap Jams Podcast, coming sooner than you think!

If you can’t get enough of Amanda Diva, like me -here she is in “ManWomanBoogie” from Q-Tip’s The Renaissance –

3Suns – Give It Up

Last Sunday while Gex was blessing me w/ lessons on the decks, we must have listened to this riddim (version here by 3Suns) about about a million times because it’s stuck in my head and I have been whistling it or parts of it for a few days.  So here it is, I hope it haunts you too.

The Agriculture– which put out /Ruptures cosmopolitan (and new mexican) bass excursion “Uproot” has some fresh goods coming to market.

Brooding dubstep for afronauts and the red eye(d) easyjet set. Lloop’s been working since the earl 90s Williamsburg rave scene on surreal and dubladen work – but i guess it was callled “illbient” back then-   “60 HERTZ” is the new album- and it’s reminding me yet again how lacking the hegemonic dubstep creation myth is for explaining the genres development. Causality in cultural production is always nearly impossible to pinpoint- but this album certainly points to a more complicated relationship between stateside and UK developments in electronic music.

COP THAT SHIT

extra credit- 60 hertz is the frequency of AC power in the states… out of work with some spare time?  take a photodiode, point it at a lamp and use it to control an oscillator- then u can listen to these sine waves humming all around us.

This tune is ill, sort of African funky grime. The video is a class of kids learning the steps to the dance that goes with it, and then making up their own. Thanks to Kingdom for putting me onto this one via his mix for Lower End Spasm, which will be out soon. Apparently the sample is Nigerian. Anyone know what they’re saying? Never heard of the guys who made it, called Fr3e, but it’s wicked.

New York Tropical is back for it’s fourth edition, returning to Glasslands. This time we’ve got the amazing Kingdom and Uproot Andy (two of the best upcoming producers in NYC for my money), La Yegros is in from Argentina and Contessa hosting.

Spot the animals hiding in the flier, made by me. Yes, not only do I make beats but I go hard on photoshop like Suge Knight dipped in diamonds. As usual Grim, our sound man, will be bringing extra bass for us. We just can’t have enough.

Willie Isz – The Grussle

Here’s some amazing heat from Willie Isz. Please don’t sleep on them, open your ears and expect greatness.  Goodie Mob was briefly reunited last year (at a Nelly concert–you can skip the part where Nelly shows off his kicks and performs a song dedicated to sneakers and grills, you’ll find the Goodie reunion at the last minute I think) so there’s still chance, but if that fails and falls apart, we still got Willie. Matt, this one’s for you too. “Grussle” is from the upcoming album Georgiavania and it drops April 21.  I have high hopes, plus two more recession jams at the bottom, London to Brooklyn– grime-hop.
