Happy Thursday y’all! It’s been over a year since I did something for our Throwback Thursdays so I figured why not share some exclusive content with a new retro themed remix/mashup. Featuring the late, great, 2Pac Shakur’s “Komradz” and Vanessa Carlton’s mega hit from 2002 “A Thousand Miles” I give you “1000 Komradz.”  As always you can give it a spin, download, and share with others from the player below…

Listen: FKA Twigs - "Pendulum"

The new FKA Twigs LP is pure fire; she officially follows up our first taste of LP1 today with “Pendulum.” Taking to Twitter a message that read  “one of my favourite songs on my record,” accompanied by a youtube link for the tune below. I’m going to have to agree, the tune is definitely one of the best on a record that’s filled with quality songs, my current favorite being  “Lights On.” LP1 officially drops on August 12^th and the experimental production and unique vocal delivery is just weird enough to please both musical oddballs and those who prefer the safety of the radio.

Download/Listen: Eyedress - "Egyptian Night Club EP"

Video: Looking 4 Galt

The name Galt MacDermot may not ring a bell but you are undoubtedly familiar with his work.

Hair is the most popular Musical of all time, It has been translated in every language and staged all over the world, generating pyramids of money, still nothing? Ok, how about Busta Rhymes‘ “Woo hah!!” or what about “Down With The King” by Run-DMC? Even MF DOOM‘s Special Herbs tracks “Pennyroyal,” “Cinqfoil” and “Hyssop?” All these tunes sample from the legendary, reclusive Canadian composer who lives an intensely private life somewhere in New York. He has never given any interview and seems to ignore the cult following going on around him.

With the help of Pete Rock, Prince Paul, Buckwild, Da Beatminerz, Statik Selectah, DJ Whoo Kid, Bill Adler, and more,  Gasface were able to put together a humorous yet appreciative look at the man really behind some of hip-hop’s classics in this 2012 documentary that most people probably missed the first time ‘round. 

Listen: Odesza - "Memories That You Call"

The tune highlights Odesza’s strengths with its first-class percussion and synths paving the way for guest collaborator Monsoonsiren to add some extra flair.
