NOSAJ THING VISUAL SHOW TEST SHOOT...

Having seen this, I'm kicking myself that I missed the Nosaj Thing record release show in SF a few months back.

NIKE SPORTSWEAR BLAZER MID SUPREME "CURRY"...

Very nice. I'm intrigued...

KEEP IT GOIN' LOUDER...

The zombie vibe depicted in the new Major Lazer video just feels appropriate today. Get down to "Keep It Goin' Louder" featuring Nina Sky & Ricky Blaze. Happy Halloween ya'll.

NoDoz: ROBOT KOCH

Yesterday we showed some love for a NoDoz alumni, today we introduce the newest inductee, Robot Koch.



Up to this point the Berlin-based producer was best known for his work with club trio Jahcoozi and German post-rock outfit The Tape, but that's all about to change.

RK is going for dolo. His debut full-length, Death Star Droid, drops next month and the tunes contained within range from wonky hip-hop to moody dubstep to driving electro.

CAMBIO WECHSEL...

The new album from Kelpe, Cambio Wechsel, came out a few weeks back and since I picked it up it's been in heavy rotation. The NoDoz alumni delivers the goods with 12 new jams filled with psyched out electronics, buzzing melodies, and fuzzy bass-lines. All good things.

NIKE SB STEFAN JANOSKI OBSIDIAN LEATHER...

I'm all over these. Super clean.

BUTTER...

Out today is Butter, the highly anticipated (at least by me) debut full-length from Glasgow, Scotland producer Hudson Mohawke.



The album is jam-packed with spastic, neon-tinted electro-funk compositions that combine stuttering hip-hop beats, pitched-up vocal samples, and glitchy 8-bit melodies. Sample "FUSE" after the jump. Good stuff.

BOY MEETS WORLD...

The debut from Fashawn, Boy Meets World, dropped last week and I must say I'm thoroughly impressed.



Produced entirely by Exile, the beats are top-notch. However, Fashawn more than holds his own from a lyrical standpoint as well. Kid has great presence behind the mic and shows nice range with his content.

2009 hasn't delivered a whole lot of great hip-hop records but this is surely one of them. Give this kid a listen.

TOEACHIZOWN VOL. 5: SKY...

Okay, let's talk about some of the records that dropped while I was away. First up is Sky from Dâm-Funk, the 5th (and final) release in his Toeachizown project. More electro-boogie funk goodness from the don of the genre.

THE SENATOR...

New video from Finale. This is "The Senator" from A Pipe Dream And A Promise featuring footage from one of the finest TV shows ever made, The Wire. Sheeeeeeeeeit.
