Having lived all over the country in places like Philadelphia, Texas and Chicago among others, Lawrence, Kansas seems like an odd place for MORRI$’ patented style of dreamy trap beats and DJ mixes to come out of. Soon to enroll back in school at KU as a film major, the blog...

Courtesy of Kansas City Techno comes Todd Howard's latest mix. There's some plush grooves in this mother. When it comes to Todd Howard mixes anymore, I don't even preview the soundcloud embeddings, just go straight to the download button. You should too. Do it. Now! Todd...

With a brand new album coming in January under the Archetype guise accompanied by longtime collaborator and MC, iD, new tracks from Lawrence-based producer, Nezbeat, kinda slipped under our radar. Nez just moved out to Oakland, CA and says there are no planned performances for...

BEAR CLUB x KJHK SADLY PRESENTS: BLASIAN FINALE: WE GONE, DUECES EDITION from Team Bearclub on Vimeo. Morri$ and the Team Bear Club crew have been making a lot of noise out in Lawrence for a hot minute now. One of those noises manifested itself in the regular Blasian...
Local indie stalwarts, The Record Machine, are presenting Motorboater and DJ Nartan at the Union in Westport tonight. Supposedly, these events tend to get pretty rowdy. We have absolutely no idea what to expect from either of these two spinners, which should serve as a...

Fresh off an opening gig for Mark Farina at Blvd Nights in Kansas City just a couple of weeks ago (Frisky is back), it looks like Uriah West might have caught a bug or something, with this being his first soundcloud entry in seven months. But according to his bio, he began...

Mac Lethal once wrote something on facebook (or twitter, can't remember) that went something to the effect of, "Stop acting like you're too cool for hip hop!" With the lack of local hip hop shows within...um, a bit too long, perhaps it's commonly assumed that there isn't any...
Last Sunday, I was fortunate enough to meet the kickass members of Kansas City-based, Now Now Sleepyhead. Not only were these guys hilarious, down to earth, and sweet as pie, but the bassist Brian actually served Chris and me with two pieces of delicious pie from our interview...

Vocalist/producer, Second Hand King (Overland Park), just sent us an e-mail today with some new music he has out. He refers to the style that he's doing now as a combination of doo wop and hip hop. Regarding his voice, he kind of reminds us of a cross between Eyedea (RIP)...
