Gescha: My Streets Dreaming Posted: 11 Dec 2011 11:16 AM PST I have to say, that if you consider yourself a true hip-hop fan, or maybe you just say to youself “ya, I can dig on some hip-hop”, that a jazzy beat is practically always a winner in the audible arts. (Perfect Example). Gescha adds to this instrumental a vocal styling that is extremely reminscent of fellow Canadian Classified and somewhat similar to our American Atmosphere. Dope flow, great beat, clever rhymes, and the entire album up for whatever you want to pay, so cop it. NOW. Thanks to Ride The Tempo for reminding me Canadian’s make music too.

SUNBEARS!: Give Love A Try Posted: 11 Dec 2011 10:46 AM PST As it is Sunday, and I feel like these guys in the picture above, I am going to be a lazy a-hole of a blogger and quote the SUNBEARS! Facebook bio: “an indie / psychedelic / electronic pop duo hailing from Jacksonville, FL. Not unlike Wayne Coyne’s Flaming Lips, their live show is not to be missed. Interactive visuals and lighting astound the eyes and ears. Since forming in 2008, the band has released a handful of EP’s and a vinyl single. In May 2010, they were selected as one of the best unsigned bands by Alternative Press, and, as a result, tapped to record a song for the hit children\’s television show, Yo Gabba Gabba”. With a name like SUNBEARS! and a song as catchy/uplifting as this one, this track will have you forgiving yourself for all the sinning you’ve done this weekend. Props to those obtuse oblong obawesome cats at Obscure Sound for this one. MP3: Give Love A Try by SUNBEARS!  SUNBEARS! ON FACEBOOK SUNBEARS OFFICIALLY SUNBEARS!

Zak Downtown: Rock The Show (Feat. Hoodie Allen) Posted: 10 Dec 2011 01:20 PM PST Growing up in New York City public schools, Zak Downtown was immersed at an early age in the hustling-bustling, trendsetting NYC culture. Surrounded by other creative and entrepreneurial minds, Zak Downtown uses the NYC inspiration to create an inner drive towards achieving his goals. Trying to make it in New York City is a 24hr job. Zak barely sees the light of day; spending his days in the studio writing and recording, and his nights politicking and socializing all over the city. This work hard-play hard attitude has allowed Zak Downtown to connect with DJ's, club owners, athletes, fashionistas, actors, and music professionals. Zak's work ethic has expedited his road to success. Zak Downtown’s latest compilation is Downtown Delinquents, a mixtape creating his own niche in hip hop with tracks that have electric infused beats and others that pay homage to his New York City roots. The track below, Rock The Show, features hip-hop heavyweight champion Hoodie Allen further persuading my pushing play. Rock The Show (feat. Hoodie Allen) [prod.

Doe Paoro: Can’t Leave You Posted: 10 Dec 2011 12:57 PM PST Brooklyn-based artist Doe Paoro describes her music as "Ghost Soul,” characterized by a dolorous, ethereal sound that evokes the resurrection of “a choir of ghosts who haven't completely detached from the human experience." Echoes of attachment and detachment permeate her debut album, Slow to Love, out January 31, 2012. The album's first single, "Can't Leave You," was co-produced by cellist Yuri Hart and Decibel Studios’ Lasse Mårtén, who began collaborating with Paoro after he saw a YouTube video of her performing on the piano. Paoro's haunting vocals are strongly influenced by her in-depth study of Lhamo—a powerful, unusual, and vocally acrobatic Tibetan-style opera—that she encountered while traveling alone through the Himalayas this past year. At times she channels Coco Rosie, Lia Ices, and even Julianna Barwick. During her travels, Paoro spent several weeks practicing silent meditation. The high-contrast nature of her music is directly influenced by these studies and experiences, as she was forced to reflect on the deep and expansive space between silence and sound. Upon returning to the U.S., Paoro sketched out Slow to Love while isolated in a cabin near her hometown of Syracuse, New York. Paoro has been compared to Lykke Li, newcomer Lianne La Havas and James Blake, but her haunting vocals and spacious arrangements are singular, realized in a state of sorrow without bitterness, passion without pretense. To add cliché to an artist otherwise devoid, Doe Paoro is going to make a huge mark in music in 2012.

Hello Saturday Remixes Posted: 10 Dec 2011 12:14 PM PST Love.Cure.All is the fifth and last single from Baron Bane‘s new album "LPTO". This release features not only an acoustic remix made by the band itself, and a dirty dub version made by the internationally acclaimed house producer Tony Senghore, but only the electro/glitch remix below by Stockholm based duo Suck Shaft! MP3: Love.Cure.All (Suck Shaft Remix) by Baron Bane Speaking of Tony Sendghore, Swedish genius and madcap bass-monkey, Peo de Pitte remixes one his “If You Came Here” obviously here to party. Once again, we are here to answer all your bassbin’s needs. MP3: If You Came Here (Peo de Pitte Remix) by Tony Senghore Foster The People asked BIGkids to mess around with their new track, and so they did! Call their remix of “Call It What You Want” what you want…breath…but I’m going with “a favorable uplifter with its eye on the dance floor and ear wishing I’d stop singing along.” MP3: Call It What You Want (BIGkids Remix) by Foster The People Fauxbo is a producer from London making music & remixes inspired by film scores and soundscapes. Recent remixes include the orchestral band Talk In Colour, who defy easy categorization. A nocturnal no man's land, perhaps, caught between dreaming and lucidity. Hypnotic guitar swells, brooding analogue bass, moments of haunting celebration with euphoric vocals swirls, over crisp live drums, harp and piano. MP3: Nightshifts (Fauxbo Remix) by Talk in Colour
