Coachella 2012 is almost here, with an unprecedented two duplicate weekends of the world’s best music performed in one of the world’s most beautiful venues. Picking the acts you must see is a full-time sport for Coachella attendees and the media alike. But considering that URB has been down with the desert spectacular since 1999, we figure we’ll throw our two cents into the ring. …MORE
Quite the celebration/release show for “weareallgoingtoburninhellmegamixxx3″. I’ve seen EL-P do a live show a handful of times before, but never a straight beat set. At Cage and Yak Ballz’s El-Rey show last year he was on hand to watch the emcee’s like everyone else, this time was something completely different.
Low End Theory has been a staple of the Los Angeles night life for years. Technically nestled in the Lincoln Park neighborhood a few blocks north east of downtown, it’s dirt cheap compared to, well everything else in Los Angeles.

Weareallgoingtoburninhellmegamixxx3
Released by Gold Dust
Brooklyn's resident sci-fi boom bap impresario El-P is back with the third installment of his Weareallgoingtoburninhell series, this one an entirely instrumental affair. It's hard to think of a more remarkably consistent hip hop producer over the past two decades. From the early lo-fi days of Company Flow to the grimy synth palettes of the now, El-P is an artist with a sound all his own that one can recognize within the first ten seconds of the beat dropping.
Weareallgoingtoburninhellmegamixxx3 is El-P at his weirdest and finest, a dystopian symphony of other-worldly drums, funk horns, and brilliantly-culled samples. "Time Won't Tell" triumphantly shifts and evolves, creating entirely disparate moods in the span of a three minute track. Each song shows hints of where El-P has been and where he plans on taking things from here on. "Meanstreak (In 3 Parts)" and "Whores: The Movie" would have fit nicely in the seams of I'll Sleep When You're Dead. "He Hit Her So She Left" begins with what could be the score to a horror film then builds with maniacal drums and elements of psych-rock into a superbly dark composition.
