Disclosure – “Latch” (DJ Premier Remix)
December 18, 2013
DJ Premier remixes the club jam “Latch” (featuring Sam Smith) by UK duo Disclosure.

Madlib – “Hold The Organ”
December 13, 2013
“Rock Konducta” (Vol. 1) is a VINYL-ONLY release. But you can stream a digital sample of the hotness to come below; a single off the forthcoming project entitled “Hold The Organ.”
“Rock Konducta” is the latest in Madlib’s instrumental “Beat Konducta†series, the producer’s raw Hip-Hop beat tapes brought to life. This latest album finds it’s inspiration in various worldwide underground rock scenes from the 1960s through the 80s: American psychedelia, Germany’s Krautrock, acid-soaked Spanish prog-rock and synthy, early-80s oddities. Tied together by Madlib’s unique sensibility, these music scenes coalesce into a new whole.

R&B: Ab x 14KT – “Saturn Return” (LP)
November 16, 2013
It’s out. Following the link below takes you to “Saturn Return” – a collaborative effort by singer Ab and producer 14KT… but it’s much more than that.
“Saturn Return” is more than an album… It’s a story that was developed by two friends, while they were individually working their way through one of the most grueling transition periods of their lives. This period left them both questioning their purpose in life, what they wanted for themselves, what made them happy, as well as who they were.
Their conversations and the continual support of each other led soul singer Aaron “Ab†Abernathy and beat-smith 14KT to co-produce a progressive soul album focused on a love story between characters Ab and Lalah. However, it is an experience that anyone can relate to.
