Maga Bo made this great mini-documentary/interview with Senegalese rappers Xuman and Keyti. These guys speak articulately and positely about the globalization of hip-hop, and the cross-breeding of musical influences from around the world. Now with internet, the world is like an international village… I can know what’s going on in Brazil today… I can know what’s happening in China; I…

Body Juke, Britney Work
The other day Murderbot asked me for the a-capella of Body Work; a track that Zulu and I made. I sent it his way and the next day he sent me back 2 remixes. They’re both hot! The first one is a mashup of Zulu’s vocals on top of Britney’s new (“It’s Britney, Bitch”) beat.

South Rakkas On Fire
I came across this promo MP3 of South Rakkas upcoming album on Mad Decent. It’s obviously gonna be fire! These guys have been producing blazin’ dancehall riddims for a minute, and I’ve always been attracted to the stuff ’cause it seems to be influenced by sounds that aren’t part of the standard Jamaican palette (not that there really ever is…

Eclectic Junglists
Murderbot and I ventured out to Zebo and Hess‘s Can I Kick It party last night. It turned out that Manny (AKA DJ Magneto AKA ERS One) was the guest DJ. It was like a junglist convention in there, yet no jungle was being dropped. Seems that ‘Bot and I aren’t the only ones who have become fed up with…
Jumpstyle!
DJ Donnasummer (AKA Jason Forrest) just brought this Belgian/Dutch style of music to my attention via his sick Jump Set DJ mix. Apparently Jumpstyle has been around for a while, but it’s now beginning to spread across Europe. There are plenty of videos of the jumpstyle dance on YouTube. For example: Here’s what Jason had to say about the mix:…
