Was given this song and video by the cryptic Alekesam… Who’s facebook describes him only as A black cowboy riding a dolphin, shoveling sunshine!
And about his music only slightly more descriptive
The Sound of ALEKESAM : the sound of a state of mind : between sounds : and jazz : and blues : and R&B : and hip-hop : and more : to the connoisseur of sound : ALEKESAM : an original sound : first : single : “It’s Not You, It’s Here” : but don’t let us tell you : reading is deceiving : hearing is believing : transporting : experiencing : soundscaping : ALEKESAM : hearing imagery : seeing sounds : it’s not you : it’s here : a philosophy in sound : the ALEKESAM sound : first hear : first taste : first date : “It’s Not You, It’s Here”
Anyone remember that epic Goosebumps book Ghost Beach? Well I hope these guys did and that’s where the name comes from…. Otherwise what a wasted childhood.
In his follow-up to 2010’s Passion, Pain & Pleasure, Trey Songz brings the heat in his new, mood-lit R&B charged EP Inevitable.
R&B is seeing a weird revival slash rework but some of hip-hops biggests stars and I’m starting to love it. But the dark twisted kind of Frank Ocean and Drake…. Not so much these cheesy grade eight dance numbers.
But if you are planning on wooing either 90s era moms or girls born in the late late 90s then this is the EP for you.
The Weekend has released his first official music video.
And it’s a dark graphic novelish visual imagination of House of Balloons cut “The Knowing.” Created by Mikael Colombu (Cee-Lo Green, Bilal) and shot in 2D.
And unlike the previous unofficial music videos this one actually stars Abel Tesfaye the reclusive man behind the name.
Here’s a mixtape from saintwoods fam Torro Torro that they did for Earmilk. Don’t forget to add the mix permanently on wavo.me.
Partyrockers Mike (“Digits”) Gonek and Evan “Yo Ev” Norton are Torro Torro a the Toronto based production duo and Moombahton ambassadors for Canada. They have quickly achieved some of the top charting Moombahton releases in 2011, including their remixes of Turn Up The Volume, New Life, and most notably their Fall 2011 remix of Dillon Francis and Diplo’s “Que, Que.
Today they’ve put together this playlist for Earmilk.com showcasing the best of that world and beyond.
Check out this playlist our boys at Adventure Club made for Earmilk using our new website wavo.me to create their playlist.
Leighton one half of the club talks about where they’re at musically and the thinking for the Earmilk playlist below. You can save the entire playlist on wavo.me – here’s the direct link, but now a few words the duo:
Lately, these are the bass-ish tunes we’ve been into. Some old some new. (With the exception of our own remixes of course, leave it to us to shamelessly self promote). Most of these are really vocally driven, we do like the filthy grimey stuff, however, as of recent, we’re really into a more vocal dubstep as well as a ton of indie-esque songs.
As for us, we have a US/Canadian tour lined up for 2012. Going to spend the rest of the year playing one-offs and writing/releasing a bunch of new songs. Next one is due to drop within the next couple weeks.
huge thanks for the Earmilk for the constant support.
Leighton,
Adventure Club
