Okay, so this guy might be a little too dubsteppy for some of you guys, but he’s going to be on the same level as Porter Robinson, Lazy Rich, etc. once he starts getting more exposure. He and 3LAU just put out a new EP – Relics Of A Dance Attic; I wasn’t a big fan because I don’t believe their sounds mix very well, but to each his own. This song’s pretty sweet though.

So, I know it’s been a while – quite a while – since my last post, but I’m going to start keeping this blog up-to-date again. I stumbled upon these guys over a year ago, and they’re the tits.

J. Cole
I can’t describe this guy much better than the “about” section on his website:
In an era saturated with upstart MCs all vying for the coveted status of “next big thing”, the story of 24-year old North Carolina native J. Cole (born Jermaine Cole) is a refreshing exception to the quick route for fame and success. The first artist signed to Jay-Z’s new Roc Nation label, Cole made himself notable through a scholarly approach to the game – no small feat considering his Magna Cum Laude distinction upon graduating from St. John’s University.
If his sudden christening by JAY-Z shocked the haters, their doubts were quickly refuted when J. Cole dropped his recent mixtape The Warm Up, as well as a coveted guest verse on JAY-Z’s Blueprint 3 with “A Star is Born”. Soulful and strong, J. Cole’s lyrics touch on everything from his upbringing in North Carolina to the poverty and hopelessness that affect his community. The mixtape encapsulates not just who J. Cole is as a rapper, but who he is as an artist and a person.
Taking from his favorite artists a love for powerful storytelling with an intense inner-strength, J. Cole advanced to writing his own lyrics at 15, soon amassing stacks of notebooks filled with rhymes and observations. Without a DJ or producer to provide a beat, he industriously started creating his own using a beat machine given as a present by his mother. From then on J. Cole was constantly creating new music and lyrics leading to his current and flow.

Slim Thugz
Not to be confused with the rapper, Slim Thug, Slim Thugz are an electro-dub duo who should really start producing for some rappers. I think their heavy beats will really mesh with a Rawse-like vocal. Their starting to dive into remixing some artists, similar to how Ratatat came onto the scene. Best of luck.

Kap Slap
Bethlehem, PA (or Lehigh, rather) seems to be a breeding ground for talented mash-up artists (5 & A Dime is also a Mountain Hawk). Jared Lucas, aka Kap Slap, just came out with his latest album, AA: Audio Appropriation, on the 11th – it’s a compilation of much of his recently released tracks.
Pretty Lights
I love when this guy remixes songs/gets remixed. Dude’s a boss.

So, I’ve noticed that I have posted exactly 101 songs so far; instead of making you download them all individually I’ve uploaded a giant .zip file for ya… I’ve also gone back and cleaned up a bunch of my posts so now all the links are working.
(sorry, can’t just right-click this one – just keep following the download jumps)
Skrillex Remixes
So I’m not a real big dubstep guy… But Skrillex often finds a way to create nice compromise between the heavy and the poignant. Plus, his stuff is great for remixes.

Aandd We’re Back…
Okay, so I’ve been experimenting with a new host since wordpress.com sux buttz and doesn’t support flash players on their websites… Turns out that it’s wayy too much of a headache for me to transfer all of my files without paying an exorbitant amount of money for them to do it for me. So, I’m back using the good ol’ soundcloud widget! Yay! Oh, and by the way, since I haven’t posted anything for a hot sec, I’ve decided to pull out the big guns for this post. Enjoy, ’cause these are among my favorites.
