RENE HELL MIX

(rene hell giving sewn leather a stick and poke tattoo)

a favorite artist of mine,  a dude who used to live in a hole in the ground in my friends backyard in los angeles, the enigmatic Rene Hell, has a new mix of deeply engaging music for the human spirit.. or maybe just sunday morning ambiance for a stimulating game of chess... either way it is great and i am using it as creative fuel right now.

RATKING ARE THE TRUTH

i was lucky enough to spend a night in the studio with ratking while they were hard at work on their upcoming album... seeing the raw energy and talent just oozing out of these guys was an incredible experience. this is a crew that i am genuinely excited about... RRRRATKING! This is a short film shot by acclaimed documentarian Ari Marcopoulos, who could be caught rolling around with andy warhol back in early 80's NYC. Ratking keeping that rawness alive here... 

"thrive" documentary

 while of course a little cheesy in parts, i felt this documentary was really successful in showing people who are not aware of the history of free energy or of much of the social, economic, environmental, and political problems plaguing our world today, and how we got to be in this sick state we are living in on the global scale at this current state of time. it shows some actual solutions and is positive and optimistic throughout.  we need to be concerned and thinking about our future. check it out. 

SIERRA CITY CENTER (DIAMOND CLUB)

The always stylish sean bowie, AKA,  T.E.A.M.S, who just jumped the pond and relocated from california to Germany, dropped an album seemingly out of nowhere on the internet today. This is something that should not go unheard. listening to it now, IT RULES and there are some really sick guitar solos being laid down, and each song is really different. i know that SNOW WITE (another california based deep chiller favorite of mine) had a lot to do with the guitar work on this album (or everything?)  this is making me excited for summer. much love to TEAMS and SNOW WITE! and how sick is that cover??

JUICEBOXXX THE RENEGADE

i have always felt an affinity with juiceboxxx's themes of being an outsider on the run from a society that doesnt quite understand him. juice is essentially a beat poet still living outside the law, quite literally a renegade for our times. watch, listen and learn. this track is off his brand new album, I DONT WANNA GO IN TO THE DARKNESS available here... BUY IT!!

NOAH23 x PICTUREPLANE "TROPICAL FRUIT"

For those not in the know, Noah23 is a fucking legend.

Steadily releasing mindbendingly esoteric, weird “occult trill” hip hop music from his home city of  Guelph, Ontario since the late 90′s. With classic albums such as, “Neophyte Phenotype”, “quicksand”,  ”Crab Nebula”, and “Technoshamanism” to name a few, Noah has been holding it down doing his thing mostly flying over the heads of a dumbed down populace for his whole career. Feeling the trappings of being a misunderstood underground abstract rapper, Noah23 chose to retire from rap in 2011, only to resurrect himself after a year long hiatus with the insane and amazing, Wing Foot album which was released for free on the winter solstice, December 21st, 2012. 

Which brings us to now.

“Tropical fruit” is the first single off his new Ep of the same name due out on his birthday, February 10th. With production from fr<>ze, ephelant, and toy trains, it’s sure to be dope. It seems like in 2013 Noah23 is about to finally hit his stride, and I couldn’t be happier. He is One of my favorite rappers of all time, and has been an inspiration since i started making music. Enjoy and share this video for “tropical fruit” , our first collaboration.
