K Os
With his latest album 'Yes!' being compared against Mos Def's 'The Ecstatic' as the best hip hop album of 2009, this guy is gaining more and more recognition for his old school def jam flow style. Spoken word roots echo most in this track which, in my opinion, showcases his value as a rapper in the modern world best. The beat is pretty tripped and isn't the best on the album but the flow is second to none.

MADVILLAIN
The original Madvillainy release was one of the greatest hip hop albums I've ever listened to. Short tracks set to no-nonsense LA beats changed my ideas of beatmaking forever.
LA Producer Madlib and underground beast DOOM team up together again for a new album under the Madvillain name. Here's the first single and for now, it's a free download off of Stones Throw's site.

Rest in Peace Seba Jun (Nujabes せば じゅん)
Feb. 26th, 2010.
"A popular Japanese hip-hop artist was killed in a fatal car accident on February 26th. His death and funeral were kept secret from most of the world for unknown reasons. Many speculate it has to do with his very private nature and his lack of being in the limelight while he was alive. He was killed while driving on the Metropolitan Expressway in Tokyo. He was taken to a hospital but attempts to save him were unsuccessful.
The entertainer started his own record company, Hydeout Productions. He released several recordings by those in the hip-hop underground as well as collaborations with artists from around the world. The company will release some of the deceased star’s tracks that he had been working on before his untimely death.
Nujabes also owned two record stores in Tokyo, Guinness Records and T Records. His death came as a shock to his American based friend and collaborator Shing02, who had been trying to reach him the past several weeks. His death is being mourned by many from all around the world."
-Tech News, Tech Jackal.
Take some time to remember that we were all privileged to live when Seba Jun was still alive. Rest in peace man... even though you're gone, you're music will live on forever.......
One of my all time favorite beats by Nujabes.... Thank you... for opening my eyes, as well as millions of others... to true hip-hop.......

Carnival of Venice is famous for its impossible trumpet part. totally badass.
an extremely well known piece for demonstrating virtuosity is Flight of the Bumblebee by Korsakov. i dont know much about the accordion, but i think this guy is one badass virtuoso.
Mayer Hawthorne
I love Mayer Hawthorne. He's a perfect blend of old-timey melodrama with some dope beats that are standard these days among the stones throw crew.
the video for this song just came out today and it's fantastic.
The offical Stones Throw press release:
"No effects were used to shoot this video. He suddenly woke up with a raining cloud above and we grabbed cameras. It's actually a documentary. Really."

Tycho
Ever so often, adultswim.com releases a free compilation album that usually showcases a particular theme or is used for promotional purposes. A few of these include the wonderful Definitive Swim [a hip hop mixtape showcasing underground LA artists], African Swim [fairly self explanatory], and the ATL RMX album [of which I'll be getting a few tracks up soon]. They're all pretty great, but my favorite is the Ghostly Swim compilation: a showcases 19 different artists on Ghostly International Records.
It's not free anymore, but if you could pick up a copy somewhere, I guarantee eargasms.
This is one of the more ethereal tracks on the album. I'm fairly sure this particular version was recorded solely for this album, as it does not appear on his EPs.

the guy branches on raw fusion of bebop and funk and it's damn groovy, dude.
this particular track i found when i bought a cd in india and it contained this track which, to the best of my knowledge, is the jazz world's best kept secret. the track is brilliant, but no one seems to know about it.

refinitum.
flying lotus's 2008 release Los Angeles may be the greatest dub/breakbeat/experimental/hip hop album ever made. it's beautiful and it is the reason why he is my favorite artist of all time.
after Los Angeles's release, three EPs came, entitled Los Angeles '1x3', '2x3', and '3x3' respectively.
they're basically like remix albums and a few have some original tracks.
this is dimlite's remix of the track 'infinitum' by flying lotus, affectionately called the 'refinitum'. it's off LA EP 3x3, which came out last year in 2009. i was lucky enough to get a copy.
it is one of the most beautiful pieces of music i have ever had the pleasure to listen to.

one time i was on youtube and this producer sent me a random playlist of tracks that he (or she?) had written and recorded.
recorded collectively under the name 'The Sound Polaroids', the tracks were hella legit. the problem is that this artist has recieved little to no recognition for the multitude of tracks he/she has up, so i'd like to ask everyone to check it out.
it's not the best, but it'll help get through the day.

4:33 by John Cage has always been one of my favorites. 3 movements of "tacet" is truly a work of a genius that's pushing the boundaries of music.
Stravinsky's "The Rite of Spring" has some of the best dissonances ever created, and not to mention a totally badass bassoon solo.

something about hardcore music really gets me. not that screamo, angsty teenager shit we get too often, no. i'm talking about real technical shit, stuff that developed and evolved on its own outside the mainstream musical spectrum.

Viva La Beat It. Yes, Coldplay meets MJ. Fits so well...
A rather famous one, Love Story meets Viva La Vida.
Yea just in the mood for mashups at the moment. No real clue why, I just am.

here's a track from one of the best out there, Hudson Mohawke. his latest release 'Butter' came out sometime in August of last year (2009). buttery smooth, if i say so myself. video's quite nice too.

and no not the gorillaz song
i owe the development of my music taste to the people around me. family and friends show me songs/bands early on, i get into it, which eventually leads to my own discovery of eargasms.
NUMERO UNO) i first heard this one on my friend/acquaintance's blog, igniting my obsession with voxtrot.
DOS Y TRES) i recently found, thanks to my friend geoff. plus, he just purchased the fairly new voxtrot EP, which sparked the memory of numero uno. to be honest, i haven't listened to voxtrot since summer.
BONUS! i always like the way Princeton's videos are shot.
good cinematography + music = win.
but enough of my ramblings, just listen
and loljk, nvm. i'm gonna include the gorillaz song, only cause this song never gets old

this track caught my eye when I heard it, of ALL places, in the trailer for the movie 'the hills have eyes 2'.

Aphex Twin
Everyone knows this guy. This is nothing new.
BUT it still needs to be heard and most people haven't heard this particular version of this track, I imagine.
For anyone who's not in the loop, here's what you're missing:
It's some group/orchestra? of sorts playing Aphex's 'COCK/VER 10'
legit as hell.
peace.

Japanese Djs
are legit as hell. Most have no problem with making cheesy beats out of Klavier pianos and electronic drumbeats, but it takes a true artist to make it sound like it's being played as you sweep across misty landscapes and dew-covered forests.
DJ Okawari does just that.
peace.

Experimental-Prog Rock in 6/4
The Sound of Animals Fighting are a supergroup of sorts, comprised of the best musicians in the underground prog rock scene coming together to let loose. Honestly, what they accomplish together is far superior to most of the shit they do by themselves.
All three of their albums (no more will be made, unfortunately) are completely different sounds, but their latest release, 'The Ocean and the Sun', caught me offguard as being one of the best albums I've heard in a while.

Spaced Out Acid Jazz
madlib's dope producing over a skilled ensemble brings forth some modal tonality overlaced with middle eastern influence.
peace.
peace.
first post.
firsts are never fun.
anyways, let's start it off in style.
so, I can dig Danger Mouse. I mean, you've got 2005's release, 'The Mouse and the Mask' featuring MF DOOM and a bunch of sampling from Adult Swim; nothing to complain about, really.
in case you need a taster for some legit hip hop, here's some Dangerdoom.
Anyways, add on Gnarls Barkley and the fact that Danger Mouse produced Gorillaz's 'Demon Days' and mixed up a storm with 'The Grey Album' and this guy's got a lot of credit to his name.
So, when I heard that he was collaborating with, of ALL THE POSSIBLE PEOPLE, JAMES MERCER of alternative/folk/all-around-feel-goods band THE SHINS, I was dreadfully confused.
Then I heard it: a seamless blend of Korg happy warm synth sounds with James Mercer's classic vocal styles and there's even a bit of his bell-cymbal tapping that makes the sound so fresh.
Make no mistake, this is more Shins than Danger Mouse.
Take a listen:
It's no masterpiece, but it's definitely intriguing. Watch for the album when it hits March 9th (same day as Gorillaz's 'Plastic Beach', coincidentally. Also set up to be a brilliant album)
For further listening, check out Sea Legs-The Shins, off the album 'Wincing the Night Away'. A beautiful track.
or Danger Mouse's 'The Grey Album'. Good luck finding a torrent, since that's the only way to get it.
peace.
(hopefully the links aren't shit, but...who knows)
