Will Nile Rodgers Join Daft Punk Onstage At SXSW?

We’re still waiting around to find out what the 3.15 Daft Punk posters seen around SXSW mean (tick tock tick tock), but here’s a possible hint. Chic leader and disco originator Nile Rodgers posted on his blog a few days ago that he had a phone call with Daft Punk. Rodgers of course was the first to confirm a new Daft Punk album all the way back in early 2012. Is it possible that the phone call between Rodgers and Daft Punk was to discuss live shows? Could it still happen at SXSW?

TOKiMONSTA ft MNDR – Go With It | SXSW Dates Announced (MP3)

 

We first got wind of this collab after the release date announcement (April 2nd) for TOKi’s forthcoming album, Half Shadows.  It made perfect sense that these two indie darlings would eventually collide as they share space on Ultra’s roster. 

This matchup stands as one of those that could be called ‘perfect.’  MNDR gained notoriety for her angelic voice, and TOKiMONSTA gained her fan adoration through angelic (read dazzling) production.  Pun intended, the collab was a match made in heaven (insert rimshot here).  Go With It, the second drop from the aforementioned album is lightweight aural ambrosia combining TOKi’s dancing chimes and conga style drum patterns with MNDR’s signature Metatronic vocals.  One of the reasons it took us so long to post this on the SF URB …

“Hangin’ Out” with Kosha Dillz and Friends… (Video & MP3)

Journeyman veteran entertainer/rapper Kosha Dillz just dropped the hot and catchy lead single “Hangin’ Out,” along with a wild music video for the same, directed by Ricky Shabazz. From mobbing out in Koreatown to Froyo, Hollywood Blvd. and Jewish delis, the self proclaimed Dillzionaire parades through Los Angeles all while hanging out with a mob of fans, friends and cameos that include Verbs, Boom n Crates, Laker Girls and more. The ode to kicking it comes from his forthcoming untitled record (or possibly series of EPs) that also features tracks with Gangsta Boo, Murs, Big Pooh, Wax and more. The .mp3 is also available for free download, so go hit the jump, peep the video and snag that .mp3!
