Stoney Jackson

May 2, 2009

J. Rocc has his own blog. What the fuck? Should have been on this one since it debuted in October of last year. Well, from ‘The Funky President’ comes the Stoney Jackson blog offering incredibly-dope rare mixes for those who support the Beat Junkies sound. Looks like it is updated every now and again which is fine with me. Any offerings are appreciated and there’s a nice collection of treats already. Feast on Jaylib’s first live performance as an appetizer. Then get the rest of the platters.

I had no idea this collaboration was in the works. Nice piece of wax to stumble across. Courtesy of Neu Musical Express.

Simmer Down Now!

May 1, 2009

I checked out Gilles Peterson’s Worldwide All Winners show to get a taste of some new Quantic and His Combo Bárbaro material. The track “The Dreaming Mind Part 1″ was excellent, but, the track following it monumentally blew it away.

What ended up happening was that once the Quantic track concluded, I had my brainwaves demolished by Mos Def’s “Quiet Dog” track which is absolutely filthy. I think I played this song a dozen times last night and it’ll likely receive the same when I get home from work.

Actually, I guess I’m late on this once since it dropped back in January, but that’s how it goes when you have highly-limited Web surfing time. If you missed out also, get it now!
