Those who enjoy the music of LTJ Bukem and/or Burial will definitely enjoy this latest tune from one of Think 2Wice's latest recruits, Andrew Sinclair. We don't know a vast amount about Sinclair, but he has recently landed DJ gigs with the likes of Brent Tactic and other Think...

LAST NIGHT IN REVIEW: Joc Max, Miles Bonny, Reggie B & Draper @ KC Academy + Vital Nerve 5 @ Newsroom

Last night I trekked out to two different hip hop shows in Kansas City. I knew they would be very different from one another, but I don't think the differences really struck me with such authority until I just recently sat down to write this. The Kansas City Academy at 79th...

Ten 2012 Grammy Awards Observations From a Hip Hop/Electronic Head

I haven't watched the Grammys in at least a few years, so here it goes. 1. After Jay-Z and Kanye won best hip hop something, neither of them were in the house to accept their award. Do hip hop artists still boycott the Grammy's in 2012? After presenting the award, Marc...

This latest track leaked from Mac Lethal's "Irish Goodbye" album out on NYE/December 31st instills his reputation as one of the most intense song writers out. Hot off the heels of his own viral "Nerdy White Kid Kills Look At Me Now" video (which now has about 13 million...

D/L: Z-Sonic – “Worldwide Wax” (Global Bass DJ Mix)

D/L: Z-Sonic – “Worldwide Wax” (Global Bass DJ Mix)

By | December 5, 2011 at 5:21 pm | No comments

KC-based producer/turntablist, Z-Sonic, has a new mix out called "Worldwide Wax". Though we'd like to think of him as being adept at various forms of music performance, this mix is special because it was recorded with 100% vinyl. In a way, Z-Sonic is kind of a throwback...

DJ Slugo of Chicago’s Dance Mania label still shows love to Demencha, 3 years after his cover story

Our good friend DJ Shad shared a video with us last night wherein Chicago Ghetto House legend, DJ Slugo, was filming inside his studio in Chicago and by pure coincidence, a framed Demencha Magazine with Slugo on the cover (Summer 2008) catches Slugo's camera angle for several...

Every time I hear about something like this I start feeling some kind of emptiness in my soul. Personally, it's been a rather embarrassing stretch since my last visit to a vinyl shop. Vinyl fiends should go to 432 East 73rd Terrace in Kansas City, MO today to run your fingers...

THROWBACK ALBUM REVIEW: Saharan Gazelle Boy – “Strange Teen Heart” [2010]

By | July 15, 2011 at 4:47 pm | One comment

Side projects are often a two way street; they can give under-appreciated band members the opportunity to showcase their own work without the backing of the rest of the group (think Robert Plant's collaborations with Alison Krauss) but they often end up being unjustly...
