One of Traffic Entertainment’s best selling titles is available once again as double vinyl, packaged in a beautiful gatefold jacket. Here is the original description from 2003: Legendary MC MF Doom (aka Zev Luv X of KMD) has opened up a lyrical wormhole which promises to result in his most unique release to date: a concept album with plenty of high comedy, street technology, and hijinks. Next-school beats by King Honey, Heat Sensor, and Max Bill move freely in the spaces between electronica and Hip Hop. Take a trip back to the origin of the Super Villain. An unanticipated time travel-machine breakdown left him stuck in the early 90s where he has no choice but to battle sucka MCs and carry out side-hustles so he can repair the time machine and go back to the future. All tracks feature original lyrics by MF Doom. Guest appearances include: M. Sayyid (Anti-Pop Consortium), Lord Sear (CM Famalam w/ Bobbito), Apani B Fly MC, and RJD2 (Def Jux).

Los Angeles resident brings beats with a cinematic flare, “I see these tracks as little short films that play in my head.” Flying Lotus is a free spirit, “I have this beautiful lemon tree in my backyard, and on a sunny day the light shines through. Little things like that inspire me.” A Coltrane through and through, Flying Lotus is the great-nephew of Alice Coltrane and a cousin of Ravi Coltrane. “My greatest influences are my family, I’m lucky to have been around so many accomplished musicians.” And most importantly, Flying Lotus is a visionary, so get ready to meet your favorite new producer.

1983 is the first full-length album from Flying Lotus, originally released on Plug Research in 2006. The album was an introduction for most to a sound that connected the fractured, funky soul of Dilla and to the more psychedelic downtempo of , and other kindred spirits. In the years since this release, the Southern scene has coalesced, and Lotus has continued his genre synthesis, working with UK producer Kode9, among others. This is bass music that gets tagged ‘experimental’ because it pushes boundaries, but felt live, there’s no doubting the direct, physical impact it has on an audience.

While the title 1983 may conjure images of parachute pants and asymmetrical ‘dos, the ‘83 Lotus envisions isn’t the typical retro cheese covered by VH1 specials. This is Blade Runner, Bambaataa, the Bomb Squad, and Basquiat. This is the musical future Prince was dreamin’ about.

As an avid fan of Soul, Disco, Electro, and Brazilian beats, Kero One's vision is to create music that embraces these diverse genres without abandoning his hiphop foundation. The underground success of his 2006 self-released, produced, and written debut album, Windmills of the Soul, brought Kero One on world tours, and led to production work for household names like and Mark Farina. Recently, he has also received major label attention and support from the likes of Will.i.am, EMMY award winner and producer of Estelle, who, after listening to Kero One's album, replied with a personalized video message saying "Your sh%t is F%ckin’ dope Kero. I love it, I love it, I love it!"

Now, nearly 3 years after Windmills, Kero One has returned with a mission to renew the sounds of modern Hip Hop by melding together bits of various genres of music. In the creation of Early Believers, his official sophomore release, Kero One has enlisted the talents of some of his favorite singers and vocalists such as Giles Peterson protégé UK singer Ben Westbeech, Finland's answer to modern soul - Tuomo, and Portland's Ohmega Watts, to name a few. Pairing vocals with the warm tones of analog compressed drums, vintage synths, and live instruments, Kero One has created a 12 track album exhibiting his live instrumentation abilities, growth and maturity as a writer, arranger, and vocalist.

The vibrant mix of pop, soul, funk and boogie by Nicky Guiland and Casey Benjamin, a.k.a. Heavy, was first heard on a limited EP release on Kindred Spirits back in 2004.

In 2009, 5 years after the release of the first EP, Heavy drops their First Sessions CD filled with classic and unreleased material of the band in it’s early stage.

Including the hit single “Do For You” and sought after remixes by Jazzanova, DJ Spinna and YamWho?, this album is a true must for Soul and Heavy fans, plus a great opportunity to get your hands on the remixes!

As the title of their debut album, Hiphopunkfunkmamboska!!!, might suggest, P.I.C has grown adept at genre mashing while churning out a sound all their own. El Nova Hustle continues that style, displaying maturity in their musicianship and song-writing skills as they venture further into the worlds of Motown, Swing, Jazz and Soul.

Grey Filastine is a producer/percussionist based in Barcelona but rarely found there. Among his 60+ gigs last year you might have caught him at a club, on a junk raft floating down the Mississippi, at a tiny breakcore party in Osaka, or in front of forty thousand at a Casablanca festival. In any context it gets riotous- Filastine bangs out his music, jumping between a tangle of electronics, acoustic percussion, and an amplified shopping cart, firing off riddims and synchronized live video.

Filastine's 2006 debut album Burn It made inroads among music fans from the Hip Hop, world, electronic, and experimental scenes. The album peaked at #15 in France's national independent radio charts, and it received airplay from Mary Anne Hobbes & John Peel. The CD was snatched up and re-released by French label Jarring Effects, Japanese label Romz, and US anarcho-collective Crimethinc. With his sophomore album, Dirty Bomb, Filastine's gritty soundclash of urban rhythm returns. Freely splicing dubstep with balkan brass or Hip Hop with Bollywood, Dirty Bomb parties in the mud puddle of our increasingly polluted world. Kick drums beat out rapid patterns for dances yet to be invented. Rich acoustic strings merge with programmed synths.

Listen to "Fitnah" for proof that a song doesn't need to be in English nor in 4/4 to be a mesmerizing pop wonder. Each vocal here resulted from an on-site collaboration. Aboriginal Australian Wire MC and Japan's ECD (indy Hip Hop icons of their respective countries) rap over the contorted crunk of "Hungry Ghosts". Closing the album is teen gypsy La Perla, recorded in a squatted cave in Granada. Dirty Bomb comes hot off the success of Filastine's new 12" on Tigerbeat6's Shockout label with partner Maga Bo (in their Sonar Calibrado duo project). Filastine will be doing comprehensive touring in support: Europe, UK, US, Australia. Dirty Bomb to receive full press service in US & UK. If it's otherworldly melodies with sultry female vocals you want, try tracks 5 and 17. For low-end bangers enhanced by MCs, try tracks 7, 8, and 11. For beautiful instrumentals, tracks 14 and 16.

A truly lyrical virtuoso, Jahdan's unique talents are captured perfectly by several of today's most prolific up and coming producers. The movement represented on this record is massive and the music, undeniable. From Reggae, Hip Hop, Dub step to Bhangra, Binghi and Flamenco, Noble Society forges a fresh sound they call "World Wide Energy". This is a fun, deep, serious musical journey that may provoke head nods, wild dancing and deep meditation.
