The Reign Supreme B-Boy Battle @ Bumbershoot 2015 In Seattle
September 25, 2015
Once again I was back in Seattle Labor Day Weekend to cover the Bumbershoot Festival. If you are not familiar with Bumbershoot it is a 3 day festival focused on Music, Art, Comedy and celebrating the city of Seattle, WA. This year the festival brought back the BBoy battle competition. I was able to get exclusive access to the behind the scenes of this competition thanks to my friend DV One who along with DJ Lean Rock provided the sounds for this event. This was organized by the Reign Supreme collective out in Seattle. I have footage of dancers from Seattle to Poland to Taiwan in the video clips above and after the jump. Enjoy and once again you can catch us in Seattle next year covering this great music festival once again!

Disclosure – “Jaded” (Video)
September 20, 2015

Sángo – “Não Falo” feat. MC Nem
September 20, 2015
Sángo named the song “Não Falo” (featuring MC Nem). Meaning “I do not speak” (according to this online translator). That is maybe to say not speaking English very well. Hmmm… maybe the meaning we should take from this song should be closer to “nothing to say” or “no words” or something. Nothing to be mad about either way; good music being a language that speaks soul to soul.
Press play in the stream above to hear what Sángo’s music is saying to us.
GoldLink – “Dance On Me” (Video)
September 16, 2015
Heard GoldLink toned down his “Dance On Me” video to PG because his mom liked the song, but felt it was too raunchy. Awwww…
(And by awww, we mean ‘damn, think of how this video could have turned out’ hahaaa!)
It’s cool though. Great concept we can all get into. And yeah, next day he’d probably get fired… but if you can’t beat ’em… join their dope party! Plus… the girl was hella cute. Party on, Gold. Single out now (linked below)

Producers ‘Christian Rich’ Bring out Vince Staples during their DJ Set @ Mixmag Lab LA (Video)
June 23, 2015
When it comes to Chicago, Kanye is not the only producer out here making consistent heat.  Taiwo & Kehinde Hassan are Chicago born but of Nigerian descent who are blood brothers who make up the production duo Christian Rich.  If you are not familiar with the name sure you will know the siblings’ resume.  They have hits they created for Drake’s ‘Nothing Was The Same’, J.Coles ‘Born Sinner’, Childish Gambino’s ‘Because The Internet’ and Earl Sweatshirt’s ‘Doris’.  Recently they were invited to play a live set in LA for Mixmag Lab that consisted of Hip Hop, House, Dance and Electronic music during the mix.  During their set they brought out current XXL freshman and West Coast emcee Vince Staples who is making a lot of noise right now.  He performs on a new track that the duo produced with Vince rapping on it.

Unsung: DeBarge (Video)
May 27, 2015
Before Michael Jackson split from his band of brothers, and for a while after, the music world (and the world at large) was constantly asking ‘Who would be the next Jackson 5?’ The answer at one time would have definitely been DeBarge. But right when they were right there as a family, something… a lot of things, actually… went terribly wrong. The large family from Grand Rapids (Michigan, USA) had it all in the 1980s – the looks, the sound, the fans, growing fame worldwide. But then things took a sadly familiar downturn that comes with having it all (way past enough). Industry and social pressures, addictions and more… caused them to lose the most important thing – each other. After that – the split – came bigger and harder losses.
A powerful Unsung on DeBarge (full episode above).

You can put your order in (and get some tracks) now via the link below.
D’Angelo – Brown Sugar (@KingMost Redirection)
November 30, 2014
Sexy but sped up. Yep. Punched up, break-and-kick beat’d out… Never thought you’d hear “Brown Sugar” (by D’Angelo) re-done like this. Bet. Dope though.
With all projects rooted in diversity, Mixologi teams up with DJ Kingmost (SF) for a redirection of D’Angelo’s classic “Brown Sugar,” blended with the sounds of Lord Shorty, the godfather of Soca. This remix is truly the best of both worlds.

James Brown – “I Feel Good” (El. Train Remix)
November 23, 2014
Do you know your James Brown music when you hear it? Okay, well hold on. Throw that sound you have stored in your music memory bank for “I Feel Good,” but go find your dancing shoes. Alright, dancing shoes aren’t mandatory; but give this very different-sounding take on this Mr. Dynamite hit (submitted by hip Brit El. Train) a listen.
So my dad (Mr. I Know Everything About Music) said I should be playing a 10 minute James Brown track as an intro to all my sets. This one’s not quite 10 minutes but it is the legend himself or my interpretation of him…

Bonus… You can download a copy for FREE below (stream for FREE above).
