Audio: The Arbiters - Arrival EP

I´m not a big fan of mash-ups. But these are pretty clever and well done. Download the entire Arrival EP for free. Good for the daily dose of pop.

The Arbiters first hit in 2006 with their debut EP. Now they strike back: “Ain’t No Shooter Shining” marries the warmth of Bill Withers with the charisma of Lil Wayne, laid-back Jamaican-style. “Exciters Go Back To Cali” features a hip-hop travelogue as told by Biggie and Mos Def, laid over a ‘70s Panamanian funk beat. “Hip Hop Is A Free Banquet” merges dramatic ‘60s gangster film score with a frenetic indie electro vibe. “Folks Love Going To The Same Old Go Go” flips the Motown script with a perfectly placed interlude by Peter, Bjorn & John, and Ludacris on the mic. “Virgin Voices” stitches together genre-hopping acapellas with the indie electronica of Phoenix. And “Tired Horses,” based on the bizarre Dylan song, is a strangely hypnotic concoction that found its jazzy backbone via Swedish band Koop.

Audio: Styles P - Rocks Out Here // Mp3

Well, this is one of those cases where you wish the hook would do a bit more to make this a great song. Why not change it up at least once?
The beat is bananas and Styles feasts on it like he always does.
Still don`t know about this one, but SP always getting love.
By the way where is Jadakiss at?

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)
04. King Crimson – “21st Century Schizoid Man” (Power)
05. Continent No. 6 – “Afromerica” (Power)
06. Manfred Mann’s Earth Band – “You” (So Appalled)
07. Smokey Robinson – ‘Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow” (Devil In A New Dress)
08. Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth – “The Basment” (Runaway)
09. The Mojo Men – “She’s My Baby” (Hell Of A Life)
10. Black Sabbath – “Iron Man” (Hell Of A Life)
