[D]illmatic: A J Dilla Mini-Mix
I haven’t been posting much or been on Tumblr in general lately, and for a few reasons. A) Sophomore year’s starting to ratchet up the academic difficulty a few notches; B) Not much new music out lately that I’ve been waiting for; C) No recent submissions; and D) I’ve mostly been listening to solely J Dilla productions. I’ve been scouring the interwebs trying to...

The Avalanches? The Avalanches.
Aussie turntablists The Avalanches just happened to make one of my favorite albums of all time—Since I Left You, in case you haven’t heard of it—and I now have somewhat substantial proof that we’ll be seeing some form of a release from them this year. Yes, it might seem like a fantasy at this point, and it’s understandable that you might be a little upset after...

Cut Copy, Twin Shadow, and a Weekend at Middlebury
Evenin’ folks, I hope you’ve all had as lovely a Sunday/weekend as I have. Back on Thursday, after a few days of planning and negotiation, I got in the car and headed up to Middlebury, VT for a 3-day visit to see my brother. We’ve recently received truckloads of snow up in these parts, so I was lucky enough to be able to take a scenic cruise through the mountains and valleys of...

Ambulance for the Ambience
Just an hour or so ago, I got a Facebook post from my friend Walker [@ BA] who had three new songs for me, all of which apparently came from some label called Type Records. Besides calling themselves an “experimental record label”, there’s not much information to be found about this label. Most of the artists are relative unknowns, they’re not collecting submissions at...
