Audio: Project: Mooncircle - The Moon Comes Closer

I don´t get the whole storyabout the girl and the moon.. but the music fits quite well to a journey through the dark.. To me it´s a diverse collection of wintermusic: Some laid back, jazzy, some more modern, glitchy and really banging tunes. The focus is on the instrumentals nevertheless we find voices in one or another track. Overall, everything suits together as a good musical collage for the dark time of the year. get lost- jo

Audio: Kanye West – MBDTF: The Samples // Compilation

FSD put together this compilation of the samples Kanye used for his new album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasies which I am playing a lot these days. Even Rihanna and Rick Ross can not keep me away from it. Mainly because the beats and the melodies are simply beautiful. I would have definitly dropped Swizz and RZA, because they totally ruin one of the best beats on there.
Listening to Devil In A New Dress you just want to now what the sample is. Here you go. Great job Ty Kidd.

01. Mike Oldfield – “In High Places” (Dark Fantasy)
02. The Turtles – “You Showed Me” (Gorgeous)
03. Cold Grits – “It’s Your Thing” (Power)

Video: Arte - New York Minute – Lost Generation // Episode 5

Staten Island, home of 8,000 Liberian immigrants,
might have the largest concentration of child soldiers in North America. US citizens used to see these kids on CNN -carrying a Teddy bear in one hand and an AK-47 in the other- during the Liberian civil war.
Ten years later, they observe this lost generation out their window.
This story has no heroes, only survivors.

Great series. Plus the fact that this is also HipHop, in the way of approaching this whole thing, makes you forget about all that other bullshit in HipHop generaly.

Audio: Bei Ru - "Liittle Armenia" (L.A.)

Sampling is archeology. Digging through crates for obscure old records and drafting the sounds of times past into contemporary music is as much about preserving the past as digging for bones is. Few producers take that pursuit as literally as LA native and Armenian beathead Bei Ru, who has traveled across Armenia, Lebanon and Syria on a mission to hunt and rescue rare, out-of-print Armenian 12"s and 45"s from oblivion. He breathes new life into the sounds on those records on Little Armenia (L.A.), an intoxicating voyage through rhythm and melody that serves not only as a dedication to the under-appreciated Armenian musicians of yesteryear and a homage to the Little Armenia section neighborhood of Los Angeles, but also as a musical map of the Armenian diaspora and a wake-up call to his people to take pride in their rich musical history.

Electric instruments and modern sounds began creeping into traditional Armenian music between the 1950s and the 1980s, the era Little Armenia focuses on. These are the songs Bei Ru grew up on, songs he says most Armenians have forgotten. "What inspired me to make this project was all the incredible music I'd find on these old records that most people - even most Armenians - are unaware of," he says. Bei Ru's inspiration to take Armenia's musical past into its future manifests itself in everything from the album's sound to its name. "You walk down a street in the Little Armenia section of Los Angeles, and it's as if the people brought their home country with them. These people, who keep themselves so surrounded by their culture, have forgotten how important the role of music is. Contemporary Armenian music is virtually devoid of any of the aspects of what made those old records so awesome. I felt that Armenians and non-Armenians alike should be exposed to this lost era of music that no one seems to remember." Little Armenia drops November 19th on Musa-Ler Music.

This is a very interesting project by Bei Ru. Sampling armanian music only. Makes me think of the "Syria" beat tape. The whole thing is dropping tomorrow via Musa-Ler Music.
This one beat is for free. Get the rest via Amazon.
