Video: Blueprint - Radio-Inactive // "Adventures in Counter-Culture" drops march 2011
Critically acclaimed mc/producer and Soul Position frontman Blueprint, returns with his highly anticipated sophomore solo release Adventures in Counter-Culture. Experimenting with synths, keyboards, and drum machines, Adventures in Counter-Culture touches on Blueprint’s cynicism with the world, his disdain for pop culture, the state of politics and an apathetic, uninspired society. The album encompasses every facet of music Blueprint knows. It blurs genre lines and connects his hip hop pedigree with his early days in the church choir, to the R&B bands he was a part of in high school, to his new found interest in rock and electronic music. After a five year musical journey, Blueprint has emerged with his greatest effort to date. A culmination of self discovery and societal critique, Adventures in Counter-Culture is just that. The adventure begins March 1st, 2011.

Audio: Olde Soul | Double K - Taking Me Places| Face To Face // People Under The Stairs // Content(L)abel
We continue our Digital / 7‐inch series with Olde Soul and Double K (People Under the Stairs), as they take listeners on a journey set to well‐crafted, sample‐based beats.
The mission begins with producer Olde Soul, setting the pace with “Taking Me Places,” a tale about weaving through L.A. nights. Mc, Blak King narrates the tale over hard drums and vintage filtered bass, steered by vibes. Olde soul's side of the journey ends with the headnotic “Along the Way.”
Los Angeles legend Double K detours with the melodic, funk tinged “Face to Face.” An extra treat concludes this project in the form of a “Bonus Beat" straight from the floppy disc stack.

Audio: Dimlite - For Medals // Elan Tamara & Dimitri Grimm // Download
Dimlite:
«Three sweet songs as a present.. Few years ago we were up to record a whole album or at least an EP together. Then… a pletora of hindrances came along and the folder named ‘Elan + Dim’ remained untouched ever since. These songs are from 2007 / 08, they are and will forever be in demo state. But instead of trashing them…: it’s the season, and you might enjoy them.»
3 demo songs by Dimlite featuring Elan Tamara on the vocals. Dimlite's prodcution is confident as usual, Elan's vocals flows into the arrangement like a bird in the downwind.

Download: Paul White’s Christmas - We Three Kings // Mp3
Paul White has been back in the studio and needed no coaxing to produce what might be the finest Christmas beat to drop this year. Rumours of Bullion’s vocoder version of ‘God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman’ remain unfounded. Enjoy!

Video: IDEO - c60 Redux Music Player
c60 Redux from IDEO on Vimeo.
The c60 music player from IDEO’s Boston office. The team brought to life a concept from Martin Bone and Kara Johnson’s book, I Miss My Pencil, that brings physicality back to the experience of listening to music.
I dont know how to circumvent with this informations, but is this the future? I cant imagine to listen to music that way, we still diggin vynil*s and love the process behind, the sound the flaws and the way how to get *em. I dont want to score ideas like the c60 Redux music player, but it is still out of my imagination. At least the technical development in 2010 is impressive and i hope we will have Beam-Machines in some years.

Audio: Mr. Brady – Get Choze Featuring Blu And Diamond D // Mp3
Nice one right here. Producer Mr. Brady has a real good album out called Labor Of Love with tons of interesting features on very good beats. To be honest in the record store days I would have never picked this one up due to the fact that is has such an ugly ass cover. Check out the album here.
I remembered TE had some old Diamond D pictures on their site so this is the perfect time to share them. Shouts to DGI.
