FLUX EP. NOW AVAILABLE. TOUR FOOTIE.

New from true "electronic" music pioneer Flux Pavillion comes the five track Freeway EP. It is now available, and its killing. This track "Gold Love", featuring Rosie Oddie is murder. Great shit right here.

Flux achieved international recognition with the track "I Can't Stop", which was eventually sampled by Shama "Sak Pase" Joseph for the song "Who Gon Stop Me" from Watch The Throne. He is also (along with Doctor P) the co-founder of Circus Records. and has been inspiring producers of sample and "beat" based music for years! We're certainly psyched on this new material. Ak like you know.

The EP also features tracks with Dillon Francis, Steve Aoki, and Turin Breaks.

Get the FREEWAY EP here... Now if you'd like. AND STREAM IT ALL BELOW...



Also available for free download is the track "Standing On A Hill", from the Flux..



Also...additionally from the crew comes this Doc P & Adam F, Method Man featured track which comes with a pretty slick little video...



Finally... peep some tour footie...good times...(a bit more interesting than the current Baauer & R.L. Grime tour videos...) AND features a little hometown PORTLAND, MAINE cameo here in EP #2...HOLLER.

PORTRAIT.

Brand new from a close friend/extended family member of the Hero... hailing from San Francisco, comes brand new music from Portrait.

The artist behind the music describes his sound as "R&B and dubstep making love in a chillwave hot tub," the soundscapes presented on the debut album, Symphony of Errors, take the listener on quite a journey. Releasing in early October, the 9 song album is sure to break necks with the (very soft) head nod everwhere...

Find him on Twitter @portraitsounds

"What Love Is" is available for free download...right now!! Srrrrrious Hero fave.

MIXTAPE MONDAY.

This weekend was not unlike the baked butter fish piece I had at a secret sushi spot Thursday round sundown. Savorrrrrr.
Food, recording, travels, film, family, modernism (? ha.), fine deli meats, birthday shenanigans, sun, water, grills (& only the finest dirt dogs), refreshing libations, music, and some fuzzzzz...
...it was almost like I came to as I drifted in and out of sleep to this dreamily lovely mix by Metschä via the one and only MIXTAPE MIXTAPE!!! Sunday evening...

It made sense I guess, b/c as MM says :

... (this mix) pretty much typifies what MM is all about. Music without boundaries. LOVE with a capital L. Rainbows and puppies. You get the picture. It’s from our man METSCHA, who hails from Portugal and craftily mixes together tracks by Domenico Scarlatti (yep, that Scarlatti), BEACH HOUSE and Isaac Hayes. It’s on some wild shit.

This one's got me good... kind of an instant classic simply due to the context in which I enjoyed it first...

Pim: A Mix by Metschä      (tracklist)


And opposite spectrum like, of course I had to up this #killing dubstep mix from Quickie Mart I've been bumping the past couple weeks... I was introduced to Quickie's tracks through Malkovich ... who I was introduced to through Saints & Sinners ... which closed its doors this week after one last weekend in Palms...

   It Just Don't Stop (mix) by Quickie Mart

The mix features a couple of remixes by QM ... including this banguh of Freddie Gibbs' "National Anthem (Fuck The World) "
   Freddie Gibbs - National Anthem (Quickie Mart remix) by Quickie Mart



and as Metschä would like to remind us...sharing is love...

RULING. THE. WORLD.

I dunno, maybe there are people out there who shut their ears all day everyday, and their eyes too...they shouldn't do that kind of stuff. One reason is because they might not know that my dude Rusko is ruling the planet right now.

Rusko - Da Cali Anthem





Remember Bassnectar (pictured above)? Shit was unlike anything else when he first was dropping ...and now...well, lets just say I was at Coachella waiting for the shower truck, and I heard a bunch of blonde kids in Sperry's talking about, 'I need some SERIOUS dubstep in my diet today!' Huh? WTF? You thought this shit was ONLY for 1/2 shaved head 1/2 dready head dudes...not anymore.

Bassnectar - Basshead (Original Mix)

Ok, enough blabber....just check ol' boy out...oh and also we hit up the Rusko set that day at the Coach...it was fucking bangtastic.

Rusko is on Diplo's record label, Mad Decent, and is currently touring his planet. You can cop his new tape, OMG! ..... HERE..

Well, needless to say, I have been feeling the homie's tracks & steeze for a minute, but what really prompted this post today was the new video for 'Hold On', featuring Amber Coffman...unfortunatly, the embedding function from the site where the video has premiered is not working out correctly...check back and maybe I'll have it working...until then, here is the track...all I gotta say is.. WOW

Rusko & Amber Coffman - Hold On (Sub Focus Remix)
