Creature

This tune is the MF jam right now. I mean, easily the best vocal house, since Azari's Reckless (For Your Love). It comes from Hercules And Love Affair singer Kim Ann Foxman (and also Hercules main man Andrew Butler on production).

Creature just re-incorporates everything that's so good about late 80's - early 90's NY/Chicago house music: the big, melodic synth hooks, emotional vocals, pulsating beats. I also read a rumor that this brand new single is recorded with all 1992 gear... The video is perfectly neat and the b-side What You Need is an equally good track. Check em both out (with remixes!) on soundcloud.

(BTW: this video was uploaded to youtube something like 3 hours before this post. Damn, sometimes i can be cutting edge too!)

Imagine.

Cocoa Tea and Riker's Island

History lesson #1. Cocoa Tea's been around since the 80's and he's one of the abc's of reggae, dancehall an DJ culture, so know you know.

History lesson #2. Riker's island is the classic from Cocoa Tea, and it tells a story of an NYC prison where Tupac and Lil Wayne have served some time. Crime doesn't pay, so you know now.



History lesson #3. The segregated unit at Rikers for LGBT prisoners was closed down in 2005. I guess Cocoa Tea was not singing about this unit..

Death Of Autotune

We're all waiting for Jay-Z's upcoming Blueprint 3 -release. The album was initially said to feature a lot of songs that utilized the voice-altering technology, Jay recently removed all Auto-Tune from BP3, recording 'D.O.A.' instead. Apparently, he's sick of the trend. Well, autotune can be annoying but what's the stuff about dissing tight jeans?

"you boys jeans too tight, you colors too bright, your voice too light. I might wear black for a year straight, I might bring back Versace shades. this ain’t for z100, Ye told me to kill y’all to keep it 1 hundred, this is for hot 97, for Khalid we the best’n, yeah this is just violent, death of autotune, moment of silence."
