So many have joined the Cream Team already that I feel quite old making this post (i.e. Unfashionably Late), yet it’s better late than never. I was sillyhappy when I saw this, got reminded of the blood that runs deep in me and the countless arguments about the “rap” scene I’ve had with my friends. This is raw, shows “respectful women” making money, stretching their vulva muscles, and making white boys like me keep dreaming (aka taking me back to my junglesex days)
The boys and girls dem at Astro Nautico are at it for the 3rd time. This time promises to be “understated and concise” and have a bit of some for everyone. New wave, bassy, footworky, what have you, peep the teaser below and the free download release will be available tomorrow (April 20th, 2013).
In case you’re like “what the fuck is this?”, go ahead and check out the mega-epic poppin’ VOL.2 and learn yaself something new.

PHOTO PILEUP…afro edition
Ill have one cupcake, one glass of OJ, and a whole big afro of cuteness.
Braaaaap. Long time waitin’. I’ve been trying to put this soundsystem playlist for one too many months. But today, the sun came out and the vibes are lining up. We got for you, Dub That 2, featuring the best of bashment, soca, dancehall, ragga, bass, barefoot, and reggae tunes. So get ready to swing a ling, shake yo ting, burn da lighters and most importantly dip and dub.
The 5 EUR bin caught my attention and I stumbled onto this RIFI Primary 45” Release of Michelino’s Brigitte Bardot (Cha Cha Cha). Side B features Cha-Ba-Da Cha-Ba-Di, making this the best find of an unknown 45” in my life. Brigitte Bardot is not longer just a beautiful woman and I decided to share it with y’all…for free.
Check her out. She’s all over this here Tumblr. I just stumbled onto this girl today. Maybe her selection for dis mix aint all that rare, but it’s a solid vibe. In another wolrd, we’d probably date (as people do who share the same music tastes right?), but for now I’m on the balcony bumping these tunes here. As always, show your support over at her Soundcloud (which includes a seductive Destiny’s Child remix). Big up to VA/DC peeps and Carla for doing her thang.
I’m feeling quite feminine right now and showing my love (in hopes of more gigs for you Carla and more tunes for me)
Summa thyme riddims coming. The vibes are changing. photos sounds and films, wrapped in nice sun ting right round the corna.
Rejoice
CHAPPELLE WEDNESDAYS - GRANTLAND
Have you ever been involved in one of those burning-the-midnight-oil tet-a-tets where you’re only still droopy-eyelids awake because of espresso exhaust fumes?
Well, if you have been (or can imagine being in a similar scenario), you’ll most likely recall yourself having a conversation about classic television programming. And folks, there is nothing more classy about classic television than the 2.5 seasons of The Chappelle Show.
Most of these conversations usually consist of hyperbolic recapitulations, impromptu impressions, and subsequent arguments as to which segment trumps which. In this same vein, our fellow Chappelle-philes over at Grantland have created a thoroughly entertaining “tournament of skits” to assist in any of our future discussions about which of the Show’s sketches tops them all.
If you’re in the mood for a hearty debate, print out a copy. If you’re in the mood for a lengthy but lovely read, head on over to the site and see bracketologist Rembert Browne’s predictions for how it will all play out.
DAG SAVAGE EP -
Two free joints of dis EP ». Thanks to the folks at The Dirty Science, we get to hear two soulful and bouncy tunes from one of hip-hop’s strongest, Dag Savage. When It Rains features Aloe Blacc and gives us a finger snappin’ strut even when we strugglin to hold the umbrella upright. Twilight gives a more “marchey” vibe, breathing justice and fire.
If you’re hooked, go ahead and check out the video for his single “DRUGS” ft. CO$$ and Choosey »
Almighty Sion, also known as Bolts and SertOne come from a respected beatmaking background, now together, they are releasing an appropriately titled The Beat Generation record (on cassette and digital) via their label, Original Cultures.
That Morning Sun tune (the Eastern treat) had me locked on from first second. Peep the visual tease above (credit to Feel Good Lost) or head to the fuller Soundcloud Teaser to check out the chillness.
Big thanks to XLR8R for staying hip and turning me onto goodies I would never find in the chaotic interwebs.
