Flying Lotus - Cosmogramma

Cosmic soundscapes abound in the long awaited 3rd album from LA's glitched out hip hop master, Flying Lotus. As Cosmogramma evolves, you are hit with influences from all across the musical board, from loungy jazz grooves to dark junglist drum patterns. This album is one that has a little bit of everything, mixing all styles and flavors into a sound that is distinctly FlyLo. I expect you'll appreciate it as much as I do. The album is out now on Warp Records and can be purchased most anywhere music is sold.

RJD2 + KENNA

Check out this awesome new collaborative work between Trip-Hop legend RJD2 and Ethiopian-born Kenna. I'm really enjoying the direction electronic music is heading, as it seems to contain a bit more... I don't know, I suppose you could say soul. Eerie vocals and bells coupled with lots of reverb makes powerful yet all too listenable tracks a repeat-must on my iPod.



RJD2's new album The Colossus is reminiscent of some old DJ Shadow tunes, yet still holds true to his Trip-Hop roots as seen on tracks like The Horror from his classic album Deadringer.

Safe in the Steep Cliffs

Upon hearing his debut album "Soon It Will Be Cold Enough" I became enthralled with the music of student/songwriter emancipator. The album became the nonstop soundtrack to my entire Fall, and the feelings surrounding the time that I fell in love with those tunes really can't be put into words. So, needless to say I was very excited to hear that his new album "Safe in the Steep Cliffs" has just been released. Following logically from the deep textures and interwoven melodies of the first album, emancipator expands on his already divine sound. A very musical work to its core, the songs contain bright recordings of a vast amount of instruments, from mandolins to banjos, all backed beautifully by his uniquely surreal field recordings. Can't recommend this and his previous work enough.
