Can we please put J Cole on some more UK shit? Heard this via the dude S-X (man behind the beat here) - as I was on a steady find-all-his-instrumentals tear ever since I first heard his "Bricks" last year. The whole Tinie Tempah's EP is fire, actually. Pusha T, Tinchy Stryder, Big Sean, Wiz, & Cole features don't hurt either.

Tinie Tempah x Wretch 32 x J Cole
Show recap: ASAP Rocky (video + pics)
Super late on this recap post, but better late than never. Few weeks ago we (Straight Goods) teamed up with our frequent collaborators Kapacity & TheKnwldg to present the Ottawa debut of A$AP Rocky & the A$AP Mob. It was their 2nd show north of the border, and the sold out crowd spoke volumes about Canada's fanbase committment.
Concert pics HERE.

A Day With OLIVER (video)
I remember having the homie U-Tern (1/2 of OLIVER) play one of our parties back about 4 years ago ('08 poster game like whoa) & thinking this man needs to be producing big pop records. Not on some cheese shit, but on some serious talent level shit. Could you imagine a pop record with U-Tern & Treasure Fingers (another one of those "how has a major name not put him in studio yet" guys) behind it? One day...
Nice to see his OLIVER project making serious moves (from Kitsune release to Holy Ship inclusion & upcoming Hard LA love)... all-while staying true to mission of pushing modern disco to the masses.
Klifton Manner - Let Me Love You
Released almost 6 months ago & still bangs. "Old" by blog standards, but relatively new in my opinion (due to nobody really giving it the light of day... still). I mean, dude has 21 soundcloud followers. Time people get familiar with him (as well as his equally superb Baxta alias).

Jessie Ware x Disclosure
Found this a few days ago & haven't been able to put it down. Disclosure really doin' it with this one.

TONIGHT: ASAP Rocky
I haven't plugged any of my shows on here since back in '10 - but this one deserves the entry as it's goin' to be somethin' else. Been hella about the dude A$AP since he first fondled youtube with his southern infused Harlem self. Four months, couple million views, articles galore, internet buzz through the roof, and we're here - $3 million deal in pocket, 23 years young, selling out our show (and every other one as well, it seems) a month before he departs on his 30+ date arena tour with Drake & Kendrick Lamar.
I've never seen the words "trill", "purple", and "asap" this much on my Facebook homepage.

Big K.R.I.T. x Clams Casino
Young'ns are taking over. The 25 year old behind one of my favourite rap mixtapes of the year (Return Of 4Eva) & the 23 year old with one of the hottest (& most original, without a doubt) instrumentals tapes of the year (Instrumental Mixtape)... TOGETHER?!

Drake & Lil Wayne x Adam Port
Adam Port comes through again. Just as I did with his version of The Weeknd's "What You Need" (which became the last song of every single night/gig for a good 6 month stretch), I am going to overplay the shit out of this.
Drake - The Motto (Ft. Lil Wayne) (Adam Port Edit)

Makin' the actual version sound chopped & screwed now...

Floorplan - Baby, Baby
JAM! Been lovin' this Floorplan (aka minimalist Robert Hood's side project) joint since I first caught wind of it 2 months ago. No finer way of infusing a techno backdrop with James Brown goodness.

Breakbot x Video Village
Breakbot's "Fantasy" is without a doubt the summer jam of summer jams. The great Breakbot production one expects, with a swirl of MJ-esque vocal goodness. Been really feelin' Ed Banger's new direction - from this release to Sebastian's recent.

Girl Unit x Claude Vonstroke
Been waiting for this Vonstroke version of one of my favourite joints of last year since Bok Bok (who graced our monthly Frenzy party this past year) & L-Vis 1990 first played it on Rinse back on May 3rd. Absolutely mad release.

Troy Gunner - Sworn I'll Forget
Great debut release from 18 year young'n producer Troy Gunner. The whole EP (on L2S Recordings) is greatly crafted, from the Future Garage backdrop to the pitched vocals he paints it with.
Troy Gunner - Sworn I'll Forget
BUY: Juno
Brenmar - So High (Dubbel Dutch remix)
Brenmar's "Let Me Know" EP just saw its release on Sinden's Grizzly label 4 days ago. As expected with Brenmar, the compilation stays true to dancefloor flawlessness & widespread club appeal. Great release front to back, but below be my fave of the bunch.

Rolling In The Deep (edits)
Recently turned 23 year young Adele is without a doubt one of the best singers & songwriters of our generation. Say what you will, but girl can hold it down better than anyone I've ever seen live. Not only does she blow her audiences away (whether it be in sold out arenas or tiny cd shops with minimal accompaniment, as seen here), but she also proves just how deadly powerful the fusion of a great voice & dickhead ex-boyfriend can really be.
The first big (and still to this day, my favourite) "Rolling In The Deep" remix to surface was Jamie xx's, back about 5 months ago. The remix garnered so much attention that virtually every remix since has really been an edit OF the Jamie xx version. Below are my two such favourites - one housey, the other on the bashment tip.
Adele - Rolling In The Deep (Jamie XX Remix) (Prince Club House Edit)
Adele & Jamie XX - Rolling In The Heat (The Heatwave Refix)

Brandy x Fantastic Mr. Fox
I've been rinsing this joint like crazy. The always fantastic Fantastic Mr. Fox comes through with another quality edit.
