DJ MENSA – SEASONS CHANGE

New seasons are coming this way here in Cali going from mostly sunny to cold & sunny …that was a joke, Voila!  I guess I can’t complain, the east coast is much colder.  Anyway I ran across this fresh lil mix from our dude out of Toronto DJ Mensa called seasons change. I usaully  shy away from long mixes but this one rides very nice . Check it out and let me know what you think.

“I let songs breathe, as they’re all deserved to be heard and the vibe is deserved to be felt. Some synths. Some Lo-Fi. A bunch of recognizable names. A couple unknowns. 33 tracks. 81 minutes. In the words of Stretch Armstrong, this mix is “chonky.”  DJ Mensa

VIDEO: MIGUEL ATWOOD-FERGUSON ENSEMBLE-DELIVER THE WORD F/ ALOE BLACC

The Miguel Atwood-Ferguson Ensemble has done some really special shows this year. In addition to the Flying Lotus and Bilal performances, they recently paid homage to the legendary Guru with this version of Gang Starr’s “Betrayal.” The original  song sampled the 1973 War classic “Deliver The Word, ” which is  an equally powerful song. I know this is the final video, but I hope they continue on with amazing live collaborations like this. R.I.P. Guru.

ALOE BLACC – I NEED A DOLLAR (LIVE STUDIO VERSION)

The good folks at Stones Throw Records dropped this live version of Aloe’s hit song featured on the HBO series How To Make It In America. Momentum is building up for the release of his next full length album Good Things out later this year.  You’ve come a long way Mr. Blacc, but I’m still hoping for another Emanon album.
