2 Bears get funky
posted by Donna
2 Bears are Awesome This London-based musical duo formed in 2009 composed of Joe Goddard (of Hot Chip) and Raf Rundell. Good stuff! I think they are referencing a certain preference for a stocky build with some facial hair which is called a bear within the gay community. I have no idea if...

Star Slinger Jet Jam...

Star Slinger is one to watch if you like pop hits remixed to the point of cool and great samples. He remixes pretty much everyone all the time. Lots of work being put out consistently. He is a nerdy white guy who really knows his hip hop and soul. Since I doubt you’ll be in Slovenia...

A-Trak Kills Me
posted by Donna
in a good way… A-Trak releases a mix monthly and it’s always worth a listen. The words “1 hour of brand new music” gets my juices flowin’. This one is a super fun house mix, and it’s even more bouncier than his usual stuff and I recommend it for...
tUnE yArDs. YES.
posted by Donna
Total goosebumps the other night when I saw Tune Yards Merrill Garbus walk on stage and command the enchanted thousand person plus audience with a few simple tools such as her voice, a looping machine, the occasional ukelele and a two drum kit. Her band, consisting of a bass player and a 2...
