Mount Kimbie – Crooks & Lovers (Review)

Mount Kimbie

Crooks & Lovers

Released by Hotflush Recordings


London duo Mount Kimbie are ready with their debut album Crooks & Lovers after having released a couple of EPs on British dubstep label Hotflush. Dominic Maker and Kai Campos have also caused some stir with their excellent remixes, and they sound nothing like their peers. They have an indie approach to their electronic beats, and in a world of shifting sounds they’re already defining "post-dubstep". They have more in common with Dilla, Four Tet or Boards of Canada than the UK bass scene, but the fractured ...

Asher Roth – Seared Foie Gras With Quince & Cranberry (Mixtape) (MP3)

Talib Kweli, Pac Div, Blu and Truck North fire up new mixtape 

The last time Asher Roth dropped a mixtape, he was a little known MC with a bit of an Eminem inflection that got everyone in the URB offices asking “who is this?” as we played the joint over and over. Now Mr. Roth is a white-rapping, terrorist thwarting superhero who has evidently developed a taste for the finer culinary treats. Seared Foie Gras With Quince & Cranberry features drops from Talib Kweli, Pac Div, Blu and Truck North, and beats from all the top chefs—Pharrell, Dilla, Kanye, 9th Wonder…

Julien Dyne – Pins & Digits (Review)

Julien Dyne

Pins & Digits

Released by BBE


Julien Dyne is a drummer from New Zealand who has worked with artists like Fat Freddys Drop and Nathan Haines. He has also been involved with Red Bull Music Academy. He brings a range of styles to Pins & Digits; it has a cosmic club vibe with Dyne's percussion, rich brass, Rhodes, bass, vibes and electronics. Pins and Digits features guests spots from some of New Zealand’s most talented musicians including the vocal talents of Mara TK (Electric Wire Hustle). He is a  musician who can play organic funk, jazz and soul, and rock a MPC and an array of analog synths. On Pins & Digits he tries to find a balance between these styles: club grooves with an eclectic range of percussion, programming and synth, and down tempo compositions. The big bass, brass and futuristic keyboard sounds are pleasant to your ears, but all this eclecticism also makes it sound a little dated, as if he’s borrowing too much from others. You can easily hear Dilla, Spacek and Flying Lotus lurking in the shadows.
