I haven’t forgotten about this. It’s just been, a little busy.

I channeled the murder club dope pedal rider gods a little while back on this page with some nostalgia about this track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b34U3-Cut.

glad to hear they’re coming back.

For the last twenty years, whenever I was up at five in the morning, I knew that Prince was up too, somewhere, in a sense sharing a workspace with me. For the last few days, 5 a.m. has felt different. It's just a lonely hour now, a cold time before the sun comes up.

People are calling James Blake the true star of Beyonce’s Lemonade album. To be honest, I haven’t listened to it yet. And I probably won’t... but I was surprised to see his name pop on it. Great timing for his new album that should be out soon. That album, I will listen as I enjoyed ‘Overgrown’ quite a bit, so my curiosity will definitely prevail for the new offering from him.

I’m gonna throw it back to Toronto’s VLSONN bootleg juke remix/edit circa 2013.

... So underrated its silly

JWLS IS BORED mix

https://soundcloud.com/wearegta/jwls-is-bored

I’ve been aware of JWLS since 2012 during the time when i was going to moombahton parties in Toronto (s/o SLOWED at the Crawford, s/o Torro Torro & crew). Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHjQYJFO35w

What I appreciate about his style now in 2016 is that he hasn’t lost touch with rap during a time in music where it’s seems common to stick to one sub-genre and roll with that and not look back.

And for people such as myself, there is so much music going through my veins all the time, it’s hard to keep up with everyone, all the time. Case in point, I can admit I forgot about JWLS since moving on from Moombahton (that should be the name of his next album, ha); admittedly, I was listening to Baauer’s “Aa” and saw this mix on the side.. glad I Iistened. Props, JWLS.

I will just leave this little reminder about how great Claude VonStroke and all of DIRTYBIRD is, and always will be <3

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WeCsZNuWa-4

ps. does anyone remember when VonStroke spun in at Apple store during WMC in 2007? Probably not, because no one was there. Imagine that happened now. That store would be out of control. People smashing their laptops and dancing around.

here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AxeX1dkPiWM

pps. the little VonStroke side smile at 3:31 is great. he is giving these people standing there the education lol... and they have no idea wagwan pon de store.

I woke up this morning and thought to myself: “time ‘to gets busy as a bee”... and then went through the motions of ‘where did that come from?’ a track, obviously.. but which? so I sat and drank my coffee and racked my brain. then the bassline came to me. and then the full lyric, and then the name of the track, and alas... THE COOL KIDS: BLACK MAGS

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b34U3-CutuU

2007. yeesh. almost 10 years ago. this track is still tight and was way ahead of their time. I really wish I could recall where my first listening was. I know I was in St. Catharines. Probably in the video editing room at school. Probably stoned. Pretty vague, but it stuck with me.

And on that note:
