I have no idea what this says, but it’s fair to assume South Rakkas is hot in Brazil.

“SOUTH RAKKAS CREW COM MC GI “Hands Up Brazil (Double Up Riddim)”
O duo de produtores de Orlando convocou a santista para este pós-funk carioca cheio de segundas intenções, cantado em português e inglês.”

A Decade of Flying Lotus, Mixed by GLK

Fri, 25 Dec 2009 22:41:00 -0800

Flying Lotus has had a remarkable year, and an even more amazing decade. His 2008 debut album Los Angeles has definitely helped put LA’s beat head community on the map, but the guy has literally layed waste to hip-hop, electronic and alternative beat genres across the spectrum for 10 years. Gaslamp Killer gives his props, lacing together tidbits of the known and unknown FlyLo lexicon to great effect. Download it here.

Catch FlyLo and Daedelus this Saturday, December 26th live in downtown LA.

“Two months ago, a video of Nosaj Thing’s visual collaboration with Julia Tsao and Adam Guzman tore across the internet blowing minds everywhere. (I watched it a few times a day at one point). After seeing it, Kenny Mac at Red Bull knew he had to act on an idea for a visual show that had been cooking in his brain for a while. Soon after - Red Bull Megahurtz was born.” — David Lang

Thanks Kenny. Awesome photos David.

Electronic music is huge and growing in popularity, but the genre places an unusual demand on the actual artist: They make their money at live shows, but how interesting can a performance by someone tapping at their laptop possibly be?

After escaping from prison in 1970, Leary found refuge in Algeria with the Panthers’ Eldridge Cleaver, who was himself on the lam for attempted murder. But rather than receiving Leary as a kindred spirit—and displeased with his drug-touting ways—Eldridge kidnapped Tim and his wife, Rosemary Woodruff…er, placed them under “revolutionary arrest.” Eldridge eventually freed the pair, but, in the clip above, you can still get a sense of their uneasy Algerian alliance.
