Rub-A-Grub @ Do or Dine feat. Rich Medina // Labor Day 2012, Brooklyn from Sound Liberation Front on Vimeo.

For those who missed Sound Liberation Front‘s Labor Day party at Do or Dine with Rich Medina and Queen Majesty, peep the video recap above. (And if you can avoid blinking, you might even catch a glimpse of yours truly in there).

Radio Galaxy – “Edward” from ill Mannered Media on Vimeo.

Here’s a special Halloween treat, the lastest single (and an eerie, but beautiful one at that) courtesy of Radio Galaxy, one of my favorite groups on the planet right now. (And I’m not saying that just because they hail from Houston, my hometown. These cats are seriously dope).

Art direction by the homie FWMJ and video direction by Ill Mannered Media aka the homie D (of the K-Otix). Enjoy.

UPDATE: The full version of the tune is available on their Daaarkness Everybody … EP, which they just released on their bandcamp page today. FOR FREE. So, you know, grab that shit. Like, now.

Dub-Stuy Launch Video Recap // Brooklyn Sound System Culture from Dub-Stuy Records on Vimeo.

Now that Hurricane Sandy has passed (and I have exhausted the very last of my excuses), it’s time to play a bit of catch up on the blog. For those who aren’t yet aware, the homie Q Mastah spent the better part of the last year building, from scratch, this magnificent sonic beauty of a sound system he calls the Tower of Sound. Last month, I got to play music through this thing during it’s public test run at the Greene Hill Food Co-Op, and I’m still feeling all tingly from the experience. It’s really the most sublime sound system I’ve ever had the pleasure of spinning on.

About a week later, while I was cavorting about in Neder-Neder-land, Q and my peoples at the Sound Liberation Front hosted their official public debut of the sound system in Brooklyn at the launch party of their new record label, Dub-Stuy Records. You can check out how that went down, and get a sneak peak at the Tower of Sound in the video above.

And just in case you’re wondering, it sounds (and looks) a million times better in person. The next time you get a chance to attend an event where this bad boy is present, I encourage you not to miss it.

You can read more about Q‘s journey to bring the Tower of Sound into existence in this nice little feature over at Vice.

As for what they’ve got cooking up at the record label, here’s a taste of a track with the legend MC Brother Culture.

Stay tuned for much more from Sound Liberation Front, Dub-Stuy Records, and the Tower of Sound.

It’s CMJ time in NYC once again, and our good friend LILY VANILLI has teamed up with Rotting TV to put together a killer FREE showcase of bands, producers and DJs this Thursday night at Hotel Chantelle.

The band/artist showcase kicks off downstairs in the main bar at 7pm, with Cleveland-bred, Brooklyn-based indie/alt/hip-hop production duo The Kickdrums, Houston garage-pop outfit Young Girls, Norwegian electronic lo-fi duo AACT RRAISER, New York wonderboy producer Sweater Beats, songwriter/rapper/vocalist Justina, and electro/pop/soul vocalist ANE.

The afterparty takes over the rooftop at 10pm with New York-based MCs MaG and Danse Daimons rocking alongside Austin shining-star (and buhbOmp homie) DJ Mike Swing and Chilean-born, Miami-based DJ Manuvers.

A gang of folks are co-sponsoring this bad boy, including MANIMAL, our good friends at Hash Magazine, The Interstellar Pig and our beloved Impulse Travels radio show. So much different kinds of good involved in this, it would be ridiculous to miss it.
