D/L: Future – “Same Damn Time” [Busted by HeRobust]

By Chris Mills | May 22, 2012 at 11:25 am | No comments

The latest "bust" remix from Georgia's HeRobust challenges what's probably the hottest rap artist in the South right now in Future. You may remember a couple of remixes we recently featured from HeRobust in recent weeks (HERE), which we absolutely loved. But on this latest...

D/L: Ludacris – “Georgia” [BUSTED by heRobust]

By Chris Mills | May 14, 2012 at 1:25 pm | No comments

Atlanta's heRobust has been dishing out some really, really amazing beats lately. But expect that dishing to turn into nothing short of an all-out assault on the global beat game very soon with surely enough material to keep us all enthralled for the rest of the year and...

D/L: heRobust – “Lovers Duet” (ft. 2Pac & Notorious B.I.G.)

By Chris Mills | April 20, 2012 at 1:48 pm | No comments

We've got bad news for producer/remixer types. It's not everyday that I get this geeked over one of the many remixes and other promo tracks sent our way from around the globe. But this latest track from ATL's heRobust might just be shitting on the entire remixing game right...

REVIEW: Middle of the Map Fest [Chris Mills' Take]

By Chris Mills | April 13, 2012 at 9:26 pm | No comments

I wasn’t expecting Ink and The Record Machine’s Middle of the Map Fest last weekend to be as draining and taxing as it turned out to be this year. Perhaps I’m just getting older? Or perhaps music festivals and I don’t always cooperate with each other. Back in 2007,...

Kutty Slitz & Demencha Go To The Strange Music Headquarters

By Chris Mills | March 21, 2012 at 3:32 pm | No comments

I got a phone call from the man/myth/legend, the KC-based lyrical master and founding member of Ces Cru, Kutty Slitz on Monday afternoon. "Hello?" "Meet me out there..." My first excursion to the Strange Music headquarters/compound turned out to be amazing, after a...

D/L: New Albums From heRobust [Atlanta]

By Chris Mills | February 11, 2012 at 6:31 pm | No comments

When heRobust was visiting Leonard DStroy in Kansas City last summer, I was fortunate enough to meet him and bounce ideas between the three of us. As a bright individual, heRobust's beats shine similarly. Bass-driven, tastefully-eccentric compositions encased in a kind of...

KC-Based Beats/Electronic [2011 Music Picks]

By Chris Mills | December 28, 2011 at 12:26 am | No comments

With more artists in KC doing experimental, beat music derivatives this year, I thought this separate chart would only be right. I don’t think I had near as many favorite local beats to refer to when the Demencha writers put together their 2010 music picks last year. But in...

D/L: Leonard DStroy’s “ADHD” Album [out today on Elm & Oak Records]

By Chris Mills | December 27, 2011 at 2:46 pm | No comments

As we mentioned over the weekend, KC-beat guru, Leonard DStroy, has a new album coming out soon. Soon is today. The Elm & Oak label is calling this a "collage album", featuring over 50 beats in just nine tracks. The name behind the album seems rather simple now. We've always...

"Attention Deficit High Definition" (ADHD), the long-awaited beat album from Kansas City sound-shaper, Leonard DStroy, drops on Tuesday, December 27th. Elm & Oak decided it would be only right to throw out a leaked single from the project which sounds like a rather...
