![Demencha Is Not To Be Taken For Granted [New Policy Now In Action]](http://demencha.com/wp-content/themes/widezine/thumb.php?src=http://demencha.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/know-the-ledge-EDIT-1024x503.gif&w=200&h=200&zc=1&q=80&bid=1)
As Editor here at Demencha, there’s a lot to say about this right now, so bear with me. Demencha is now requiring that artists we write about retweet, reshare and link out posts to the stories we’re writing about them. For example, if you have a show coming up this weekend...
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...
This SSS is coming about ten hours late because my internet was down yesterday. But here are some tracks that have caught my ear on the wonderful site that is Soundcloud within the past seven...
You're a busy person. You work hard all week, dealing with the daily grind and getting that paper. You don't always have time to stay up with the latest in hot new music. But luckily for you, we here at Demencha have your back. Welcome to the first installment of the Saturday...
KC-based producer and drummer, Ghost, recently began making beats under the pseudo name, Mr. Rainman. Most recently, Ghost competed in the Versus Beat Battle at Riot Room just a couple of months ago wherein he dropped his own instrumentals and played drums on top of them. Read...
Kansas City's heralded DJ/producer/singer, Miles Bonny, recently dropped a project with NYC beat monster, B.Lewis. On this project, Miles is doing vocals over some of Lewis' original productions. While I don't necessarily think that Miles' voice and the electro-soul beats...
I'll confess that I've never been much of a Florence + the Machine fan. Between Florence Mary Leontine Welch's (yes that's her real name) overwrought vocals, lyrics and the group's radio exposure, I've often found myself switching off their latest single whenever it comes...
A couple of years ago, I asked a friend of mine what she thought the next big thing in music could be. "Maybe lo-fi will make a comeback," she quipped jokingly. Enter the Kansas City-based, beat-creating collective, The Outer Peoples. Primarily comprised of BMoody, Dan...
![STREAM: Kendrick Lamar & Dr. Dre – “The Recipe” [2012]](http://demencha.com/wp-content/themes/widezine/thumb.php?src=http://demencha.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/kendrick-lamar-and-dr-dre-EDIT.gif&w=200&h=200&zc=1&q=80&bid=1)
A wise man once said that every dope song should start with the sound of a plane taking off. Well, this new joint from California lyrical hotshot, Kenrick Lamar, and Dr. Dre begins with just the opposite, and for good reason. On an overcast day here in KC, I'm sure a lot of us...

With STL/KC transplant, Les Izmore citing the phrase "MIDDLE OF THE MAP" in his own music and even his e-mail signatures for years, this weekend's Middle of the Map Fest presented by Ink and the Record Machine now seems more fulfilled. Just yesterday, Les announced a...
