Riot Control 17

Wow, I haven't posted since February...apologies, but it was a bit of a rough 1st half of the year. While I've been neglecting my dutiful search for the next hottest beat etc...I actually have been listening to a shit-ton of music that I've fallen in love with this summer, but am pretty sure you've already fallen in love too...I see you LCD, Sleigh Bells, Big Boi, Mount Kimbie...etc...So today am gonna concentrate on building up my good friends Burt Fox and Sonny Noir's latest Riot Control podcast. If you're not a subscriber to Riot Contol NYC you *should* go here to do so:

I know you might think I am biased about their mixes seeing as they're my brothas from anotha mutha...however it's truly because Burt Fox and I listen to music similarly...i.e. subtleties and nuances. So when they put out this last mix, I kinda flipped my shit as it encompasses my passion for music on soo many different levels.

Any mix that has Trick Daddy, Girl Unit, Chief Boima and of course a remix done by our friend Burt Fox is A-OK in my book.

So end your summer right and get this mix now! Much love!

Paradise Circus

Well hello there and happy new year. Sorry this is my first time posting this year, but my full time job of looking for a full time job has taken precedence. In any case, I needed to stop my fervent efforts in order to share with you the beauty that is the new Massive Attack album. As a fan that has been with them since the days of Blue Lines, I am more than elated with their new release "Heligoland" (just released today). It's filled with the usual innovative sounds and haunting vocals, but I feel they've graduated to perhaps a more mature level. Tunde Adebimpe, lead singer of TV on the Radio, graces us with his voice on the first track "Pray for Rain". The beginning drags on but as it turns to just about the 3rd minute the song picks up. Later in the album we hear another familiar voice, Ms. Hope Sandoval on the eerie yet sexy track "Paradise Circus". I used to think Hope's voice was a touch winy, but the Mazzy Star songstress sounds like she has mastered her craft. I really love everything about this track...from it's cadence to it's composition. It definitely belongs on one of my infamous "Let's Make Whoopee" soundtracks. So here you are. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

"Paradise Circus"
