L./\. x TMB Presents: The Lost Riots "Ignorance on Love LA"

After taking a week off while L./\. hit SXSW, we return with Ignorance on Love LA produced by [B.], Shenae Curry and remixed by Freshnerd of 100akres (shout out to TDE) from The Lost Riots Series. The series presented by TMB, is a collection of unreleased music from L./\., leading up to her new project L./\. Lytes, executivey produced by Freshnerd. The Lost Riots as L/\. would like to say it, is the dark tunnel before she reaches the Lyte. Enjoy the music. Chea!

ELMNT "Catch Me Last"

I'm a graphic designer (among other things) by trade, so artwork always grabs my attention first. And the artwork for this joint from ELMNT is a clear winner. Then he backs up that fresh artwork with a dope cut over the DJ Bombay produced Catch Me Last off his upcoming project, We Don't Belong Here, due out in May. I'm definitely digging this joint. Hit play and enjoy. Chea!

What I'm Watching: @RafaelCasal - "I'm Good"

I always know when I like something I've heard because I catch myself smiling by the time the song is over. I was put on to Rafael Casal by one of my home girls, and suffice it to say, I'm really digging this guy. Coming out of the Bay Area, Casal's flow kicks through the door swinging.

Of course, I'm interested in finding out more about him, but what do you think?

Check out his latest video "I'm Good" and first release "Dreamer" from his most recent project Mean Ones. Enjoy!

Interview: Miss Special x Mick Boogie

A few weeks ago, I had the wonderful opportunity to interview one of my favorite DJ's Mick Boogie after his set at an Above Ground party in SF. We spoke about his days in college radio, DJ-ing for the Cleveland Cavaliers, how he chooses the artists he works with and the process behind his projects. We also spoke about where he found the Pharrell intro on his Pharrell tape, the process behind the Dilla tape, working with Nitty Scott, MC, his favorite project he's done, his favorite artists to work with and his favorite tracks to play when he does live DJ sets. He also spoke about Little Brother, doing an upcoming Beastie Boys tribute project, possibly a Neptunes Side B project and more.

What I'm Watching: Kris Collins - "Climax" (original by Usher)

I've probably watched this video about 5 or so times and each time I listen to it, I get more and more impressed with the cover. Around the 2:20 mark, the harmonies become emotionally overwhelming in one of the greatest ways possible. There are so many things that were done right with this remake; I probably wouldn't have time to go over them all. Kris did such an impressive job in turning "Climax" into a song that fits his style, and even adding a little bit of the rocker, punk edge. Again, bravo. Take a listen and see for yourself. Enjoy!
