Black Star - Untitled (Prod. Madlib) [Snippet]

It's become increasingly clear that if you wanna keep a track on lockdown...don't give it to J.Rocc. The Beat Junkies DJ dropped this Untitled snippet produced by Madlib on BBC 1 Radio the other night which has had the internet buzzin' for a possible 2nd album? Hopefully this will be the comeback of one hip-hops greatest duos that we have all been waiting for.

Jesse Boykins III – B4 The Night Is Thru (Prod. Machine Drum) [DWNLD]

Jesse Boykins & Machine Drum team up to bring you some soul funk!

" B4 The Night Is Thru” is about looking for someone to share love in rhythm. When producer Machine Drum and I created this tune it started as conversation on how you go out just to party and dance the night away; but how hard it is to find that someone to move with because of culture of the time we’ve living in. The song is merely reminiscent of those times when you could dance with someone you didn’t know all night with no pressure, no expectations… just the rhythm and movement. "                        –Jesse Boykins III

Really soothing track, love the vibe!

Theophilus London - Ooops (Tweet Cover) (Prod. Hudson Mohawke) [Music Video]

Most of us have heard this HudMo remix of singer Tweets track, "Ooops". Well progressive emcee/singer, Theophilus London takes a crack at covering it.

This video of Lindsey Lohan could not be more fitting though!

This video/album, to me, is a very sad tribute and farewell to one of the greatest hip-hop trios ever as this will be the last SV album ever. RIP J Dilla, RIP Baatin....RIP Slum Village.

Kanye West; The Producer [DWNLD]

Came across a couple of videos of Kanye in the studio making some good ass beats just to get everyone prepared for his upcoming album, Good Ass Job, which is supposed to be on the same level as college drop out! Hopefully this will mean the return of the old Kanye?


Funny video of Kanye on 60 minutes


Kanye in rare form in the studio!
The making of the beat called "Paid The Price" off of the mixtape "Fast Forward."

Ableton<----------The Bridge--------->Serato

Finally! I know A LOT of you have been waiting for a software that allows you to DJ and Produce music at the same time through the same software at home and during performances!

Take it to The Bridge:
"The Bridge spans the gap between music production and DJing, creating a natural link between Ableton Live and Scratch Live or ITCH. The Bridge provides a powerful fusion of DJ and production tools, opening a world of opportunities for DJing, remixing and live performance." - Taken from--> http://serato.com/thebridge


DJ Jazzy Jeff:

“The mixtape feature was probably the best thing I've ever seen... For DJs who don't make beats yet, that turns into 'hey, I can make beats in here too.' For the guys who are beatmakers already as well as DJs, it's great because it's almost like you're DJing with multitracks. People are going to get really creative, I know my brain is working already, there's stuff that I'm going to do that I choose not to disclose right now because it's top secret.”

?uestlove (The Roots):

“My initial reaction? I was absolutely elated. As with most DJs that are Ableton friendly, a lot of us have been utilizing Ableton's warping to quantize and straighten out records that otherwise fluctuate. Now that we have the opportunity to play with the actual files... and use them in DJ gigs and live shows, the possibilities are absolutely 100% endless. Being as I just saw [The Bridge], my mind is racing with endless ideas...”

Hudson Mohawke:

“To see the two things working together is an immediate step forward. Definitely for the DJs, it's a big step. Now I can focus on more of the creative side than just getting things in time.”
