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 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...

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...

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...

^^^That was a small piece of Salva's previous work with Lawrence/KC-based hip hop artist, Approach, from 2007. Nowadays, most listeners are more familiar with him for doing this crazy beat music stuff (which you can...
