Blockhead - Uncle Tony’s Coloring Book

Staying within the lines are the challenge and reward with any coloring book and therein lies the fun with this audio version. Here the space between the lines is filled with funky hip hop rhythms colored over smooth and flowing electronics. The soulful vocal samples and snippets are then accented with scribbles, burbles and quirks which ultimately makes for an entertaining ride across many song pages.

Red Rose - No Place Like Now

Acts that sample instruments live then layer, sequence and assemble them into multifaceted multilayered creations are always intriguing to experience. This Madison duo compliments their synthetics with live looping from bass, guitar and drums, thus infusing analog instruments into the digital realm. The results are smooth and flowing psychedelic space jams crossed with dance friendly trip hop tantilizations amidst great ambient swells found in this delightful fusion of genres.

Desert Dwellers - Great Mystery

Such a beautiful blending of the etheric and the electronic. This busy duo has traveled the world learning about the great mystery, only to gift their knowledge to listeners amid their downtempo dubtronica. Blissful beams of gratitude glide their music to new frontiers and even greater mysteries.

Dub Kirtan All Stars - Bhakti Juggernaut

What began as a one off performance instigated by David Starfire and FreQ Nasty (Darin McFadyen) in a Buddhist temple in Los Angeles has taken flight and blossomed into this full on Bhakti Juggernaut! Melding sacred Sanskrit chants and mantras into drum n bass electronica sprinkled with conscious hip hop lyrics and a host of guest musicians sets the stage for this inspirational uprising of the highest order. Be blessed!

Pimps of Joytime - Jukestone Paradise

These pimps they are a jammin! Their funky gyrational beats come in a variety of flavors and mixers including bluesy retro and vintage to horn filled soul. Since 2006 they have been storming dance floors across the US with their sonic funk tapestry and Jukestone Paradise is the fuel to propel them even further and harder thanks to electronic back beats and a new palette of anthems!

Adham Shaikh - Basswalla

Pioneering work in the “global bass” style, Canadian musician Adham Shaikh’s Basswalla release culminates his 25-year dedication to creating and perpetuating the global fusion side of electronica. The suffix “-walla” indicates mastery in a particular discipline in India and so it is used here as an accent to his dedication as well as his return to his Indian roots. Traditional Indian rhythms and beats are spiced up with bass heavy electronica creating sensational palettes of saucy dance delectables to sample and savor.

Kognitif - Soul Food

Swinging trip hop jazz simply emanates from this French DJ! Clever samples float over experimental beats and abstract combinations of soul and hip hop grooves, while later, smooth down tempo beats are worked around strangely startling musical eruptions before catapulting to entirely new musical plateaus. Enticing and entertaining.

Ryanosaurus - Conscious Comfort

Australian producer Ryan Whare (aka Rynasaurus) weaves a fascinating release by combining a variety of tantalizing instrument and foley recordings with glitchy digital elements. His exploration of a variety of emotions, burbling and warbling textures, and distant psychedelic universes tickles the mind and spit shines the soul. And don’t we all need at least a little more of that?

Vermillion - Vermillion

Death metal comes in many forms, speeds and inclinations. This Madison based foursome likes their brutality slow but super heavy and in a retro vein. These long time scene supporters and metal monsters unleash their fury to the unsuspecting masses amidst bursts of putrid passion, societal vulgarity and eviscerating attitude.

Rigzin - Transition
