Electronic | Janelle Monae – Q.U.E.E.N. feat. Erykuh Badu (TheFatRat Remix)
Posted by mimada on September 6, 2013
Gotta make this post a quick one because as soon as I heard this song an uncontrollable force inside me made me jump out my seat and start getting ready to go out on this beautiful Friday afternoon. Anywho, all of the artists involved are some of the most talented and energetic so this remix by one of my favorite producers, TheFatRat, was bound to be GOLD. And it is. I promise if you listen to this, the rest of your day will be golden as well.

Electronic | Duck Sauce – It’s You
Posted by mimada on June 25, 2013
Despite having high maintenance blonde hair, I’ve actually always preferred going to barbershops over luxury hair salons. I consider the experience to an artistic and cultural retreat. It’s like a showcase for local or up-and-coming artists, from the street art on the walls to the records on deck, and the custom creations being buzzed into the side of people’s heads. I used to have this barber, a 7 ft. tall thug with dreads all the way down his back, who would give me a Street Cred 101 about how to walk the walk, talk the talk, and the importance of staying away from boys (or else he would hold the sheers up to my neck and threaten to tell my dad). Needless to say, I’d bust out of that place feeling rejuvenated on the inside and fly as hell on the outside. Barbershops were just the place to be even if you weren’t getting your hair did. We’ve all seen the movie, you know what I’m talking about.
Duck Sauce duo A-Trak and Armand van Helden know what I’m talking about too in the video for their latest track, It’s You. Known for producing jams with a retro twist, Duck Sauce really plays up the barbershop quartet in this one, a theme I don’t think we’ve seen yet in electronic music. The release of It’s You is just one step closer to an actual Duck Sauce album, an album A-Trak calls a “comedy album.” And it wouldn’t be a Duck Sauce video if you weren’t feeling a little confused or disturbed by the end of it. By the second or third play though, you’ll be scheduling your next buzz cut and searching for disco balls on the eBay, I can tell you that much. While I could never be as cool or awesome as A-Trak or AVH, I think I could impress my friends with this song. Impress yours, too.

Hip-Hop, Rap, Videos | Marc Goone – THIS IS MY $ONG 4 RADIO
Posted by admin on June 16, 2013
I’m not sure what’s more comical, Marc Goone satirizing the entire music industry in a song or the listeners who actually believe that he is attempting to get this song heard on the radio. The sad truth of hip-hop music is that it can be virtually (w)rapped up inside this four minute song, minus of course the few outliers.
One of those outliers being none other than Marc Goone himself. Goone defies virtually every stereotype there is about rap music all while managing to make his music intriguing and enjoyable. Marc recently released his free album I Am Not A Lobster, OK which can be downloaded here.
Now, I advise you all to take a moment to listen to Yung Marc Goone’s “$ONG 4 RADIO” before you go out to ride around and ‘get it’.
Electronic, Trap | King Henry – Dayman (Demo)
Posted by mimada on May 22, 2013
Well, top of the morning to all you champions of the sun out there on this fine Wednesday. My late night prowling led me to discover the sexy sounds of the revered King Henry and I’d be delighted to share my findings with you. This LA-based producer takes on current trends in music and turns them completely inside out in this awesome, enriching and totally satisfying manner. It’s a little trillwave mixed with trap and bouncin’ beats, one song he even identifies as “comic trap.” It’s the kind of stuff you can put on at parties to intrigue//impress all your friends, or just chill out and listen to in the comfort of your own bed. It’s versatile, it’s groovy, and it’s rad. I pulled a couple songs that might lure you in, Dayman in particular being my favorite. If you think it’s good, just wait till the final drop at the end of the song and then you’ll realize this King Henry isn’t jousting — er, joking around.
Check out King Henry on Soundcloud and social media for more, and you can download his first album at a name-your-price cost from Bandcamp.
