I've seen JL (pictured) perform a few times, but I haven't heard much in the way of recordings. The beats on this EP were cooked up by my man Info Gates, who I'm also more familiar with as an MC than as a producer. So, I was curious. Heavy Metal Objects is available on JL's...

Michael Byars is a cool guy; I say this in complete confidence although I've never actually met him. On top of having one of those comforting and informative voices you can hear regularly on KCUR (89.3, the local NPR affiliate for those of you not in college) he has really...

I’ve written for Demencha a few times, all of which were basically rants about why such and such band sucks. A mutual friend introduced Chris Mills and I back in 2008. Fortunately for me Chris allowed me to act like the cynical, know-it-all, pretentious bitch that I am in...

Star Slinger is probably the hottest producer in the UK right now. So the fact that he put KC-based, Reggie B's "High Hopes" track (w/ France's Onra on the beat) on his latest Fabric mix has got me all riled up today. Seriously folks. This is the shit that I blog for. ...

Kid Sister, who's performing on January 22nd at the Voodoo Lounge in KC, just dropped a new mixtape a few days ago titled Kiss Kiss Kiss (mixed by Nick Catchdubs). The last song on there, I believe, features this track produced by Gant-Man, one of my favorite juke producers...

It looks like this http://trakcbangadjs.wordpress.com/ blog just launched in July, but it's something that was pretty much brought to my awareness by DJ Shad (who's having his wedding in STL today, congrats!). I'm not entirely sure what they're about, but I'm guessing...

I picked this record up at Zebedee's RPM in Midtown (the funky looking red building on 39th Street between State Line and Broadway) a couple of months ago. I've found so many great records in there, but I understand that a lot of DJs in KC aren't really checking for that...
