Music Update April 20, 2011

Since I hang at Turntable Lab a lot, I’ve been getting into DJ mixes and other type of cuts from bands I’ve never heard of

Especially a new appreciation for reggae

Since touchdown in LA I’ve got:
- Madlib Medicine Shows #10, #7, #11, #6, #8, #2, #4,
- Low End Theory (re-up from the one I lost lol)
- Diplo Greensleeves mix
- Break Beats, Kenny Dope
- J. Rocc v J-Man
- Nirvana, Nevermind
- The Kings of Funk, RZA/Keb Darge
- Relayted, Gayngs
- Public Enemy, It Takes a Nation/Fear of A Black Plant
- Fulfillingness, Stevie Wonder
- Soul Fire: The Majestic Collection
- The Notorious PArty Boys Soundtrack
- Prince and Friends, DJ Jedi
- Antholgy, Maze & Frankie Beverly
- 21, Adele

And three mixes given to me but don’t feel like looking

You know how I love finding new music and the mixes open me up to deeper cuts, some I’ve heard before by way of samples from rap songs… but it’s always fun to expand the music mind even though half the joints I got are funk based lol

I just bought an Os Mutantes that’ll be here soon… but the next Madlib joint I get will def be the Africa cut… I want to hear that music from there… so far Chalice All-stars is my favorite Madlib to play, but I just got the black soul one and it’s pretty good so that might climb up

Hope you found some new music you can enjoy too

Peace
