Taylor McFerrin - Early Riser EP

Do you ever hear about a musician but you don’t give he/she the time of day, they kind of fall off the radar but then they come back with something that makes you think you slept on he/she? That’s how I felt after listening to this Early Riser EP by Taylor McFerrin. Solid instrumentals with a nice blend of jazz, boom-bap mixed with a portion of that futuristic sound (whatever that means). Don’t do what I did a couple of years ago, this is a nice download to bring in the fall feeling. Link / Source

Busta Rhymes meets Araab Muzik

Now usually I don’t watch many video blogs that appear here and there on different sites because usually most folks don’t have much to say; however, I was put on to a video featuring the producer Araab Muzik and Busta Rhymes and it’s incredible. Araab Muzik displays his musical talents on the MPC and it’s the a.m. of the next morning I’m posting this and I could watch this over and over again. Ironically Araab Muzik just does his thing and doesn’t say a word, another reason I like it.

Also, check the commentary from the guy asking Busta is that Kool-Aid he’s drinking, clearly some folks aren’t hip to sangria. Enjoy.

Tasty Visuals by Neal Coghian

Tasty Visuals from Neal Coghlan on Vimeo.

Neal Coghian – “These visuals all started out from a single illustration. Whilst creating the illustration I thought about how each bit might animate and so set about turning it into a short ident type visual. It was soon after that I learnt about the Resolume competiton for Kraak & Smaak a Dutch trio of musicians who create some quality funk/breakbeat/electro tunes. As Kraak & Smaak translates to Crunchy & Tasty I thought it’d be too good an opportunity to miss to get a set of food-themed illustrations turned into VJ loops.”
