Albums, Indie | Tycho – A Walk
Posted by W8 on November 4, 2011
Scott Hansen, better known as Tycho is back with his new LP Dive. Definitely one of his many projects that take place in my hierarchy of chill records. A calm refreshment that floats me through time on a dreamy elevation, feels like being freshly dried by the sun. Tycho’s music deserves a better world than ours, not to mention his use of braille in the top right corner of this LP for the blind is genius. If you like what you hear, buy everything Tycho here.

Hip-Hop, RnB | Cities Aviv – Float On
Posted by GMONEY on October 12, 2011
Personally, in my opinion rap has been dumbing down the masses for ages now, and to a lesser extent the artists themselves. Let me prove this point real quick:
Lyrics in the 70’s
Oh, let the sun beat down upon my face, stars fill my dreams I am a traveler of both time and space, to be where I have been. To sit with elders of the gentle race, this world has seldom seen. They talk of days for which they sit and wait, all will be revealed. – Led Zeppelin – Kashmir [1975]
VS
Lyrics in 2010
They be actin like they drunk, actin-actin like they drunk. When sober girls around me actin-actin like they drunk. Poppin bottles in the ice, like a blizzard. When we drink we do it right gettin slizzard. Sippin sizzurp in my ride, like Three 6. Now I’m feelin so fly like a G6 – Far East Movement – Like A G6 [2010]
CASE CLOSED. When it comes to rap, I’m motivated to wish I was partially deaf 95% of the time. Although once in a blue moon a rare gem reaches the surface for air, instantly a pulse goes back into the heart of rap and it begins breathing, real talk. Float On has one of the strongest rooted verses ever.

Albums, Dubstep | KillaGraham’s “Cudi Zone” Remix
Posted by GMONEY on February 27, 2011
When I first came across this track, I immediately concluded that it deserved its own post. KillaGraham’s remix of “Cudi Zone,” a classic feel good Cudder track, brilliantly incorporates dub influences, while simultaneously preserving its unique, original sound.
On a beautiful day like this, when the sun is (for once) shining in New York, I couldn’t ask for a better song to jam out to.
