The Glory That is Creation Fest (For Friday Fun)

Get Down, Good Vibes

OkayAfrica drops another Africa in Your Earbuds mix, this time created by South African “punk-dub ensemble” BLK JKS.

“For Africa In Your Earbuds #20 guitarist Mpumi Mcata crafts a mix as eclectic and uncompromising as BLK JKS’ sound — with tunes ranging from a deep-bass remix of Marvin Gaye to cuts from Sinkane, DJ Mujava and Talking Heads.”

Tuesday Forecast

Well, two of the biggest “independent” rappers this week are so big they are both in the Sunday ads for Best Buy and Target. Haha. There’s also the ultimate hit or miss Kool Keith. I just don’t know. This goes for the new Oh No as well, he was given free reign of Dolemite samples but not sure if that’s for better or worse…It’ll also be good to hear how the japanese/brazilian producer Curumin has evolved since his last release.

Front of the Crates- Tuesday Forecast

Well, here it is. Do with it what you like. I’ll be giving a listen before I buy. But the Big K.r.i.t. re-issue and Lazer Sword are promising. And the Detroit funk has got to be good.

New Japanther Video- Lil Taste!

Japanther are the homies. Matt and Ian are cultural populists that rip sh*t and do art and punk without borders or restrictions. They have the ‘I don’t give a f*ck’ attitude but it’s in the sense that regardless of whether or not you care, they’ll keep trailblazing and putting on amazing shows and creating community. Beets, Limes, and Rice is awesome. Got mine on transluscent orange vinyl!
