New New

I got the new Hocus Pocus cd, 16 Piéces, from marc. I feel bad about not buying it myself, but since it's 35 dollars on amazon and i've already bought their other two, I don't feel that bad.
I think this is my favorite beat. I haven't had time to listen to the whole thing through cause I've been skating with marc today but I'll tell you what I think when I get the chance. Chances are I'll be ecstatic about it but I do admit to a little bias since they are my number one hip-hop group and in my top 3 groups of any music.
So here's a sample track:

Equilibre - Hocus Pocus




I also went to KVDU and raided the crates (that sounds cooler than saying I ripped cds). I got an old Positive K joint. Super fresh. I was feeling that hard earlier today. So because dude slays rhymes like dragons, I'll hook it up with one of my favorites from him (besides I Got A Man of course. haha. yes he does do both voices.)

It's All Over - Positive K




I also picked up a Minotaur Shock album. I've talked about them a long time ago I think, but it's been a while. They're kinda the music that you would expect to find in The Life Aquatic. DVS used them for a few of their echo commercials. Yeah, like this one:

I like that song, but I like this one more. It's really glitchy and complex. You'll enjoy it if you like Bibio or...they kinda resemble old Royksopp too. Maybe with a little Lemon Jelly? Regardless, they are basically a Midwest Product twin that experiments more and doesn't care about breaking the rhythm.

Hilly - Minotaur Shock




And last but not least, here's another remix to Daydreaming by Kid Sis. Still in a minor key, but alot more upbeat than that the Jakwob remix I posted a while ago.

Daydreaming (Helsinki 78-82 Remix) - Kid Sister




I have alot more stuff, but I don't want to just crap out a huge amount of music everytime. Cause, you know, bands are way better when you're the only one that know about them. Hahaha.
Enjoy those and I'll catch you on the flipside.



BONUS

New Slim Thug. And Devin tha Dude on that chorus?? Real tight.
I'm Back - Slim Thug
