Ticket Giveaway and Mini-Review: Oddisee – People Hear What They See! (MP3)

Author’s Note:

<Age notwithstanding, I have a noted predilection or down right bias towards that ‘Golden-era’ Hip Hop sound and to most things related to the Soulquarian/Native Tongues movement.  The forthcoming mini-review and coverage may or may not necessarily reflect the ideas shared with my URB compatriots — but it is what I grew up with and happens to be my flavor of choice..  The fact that I’m writing this review first person, should be indicative of my love for this album.>

Now on to our regularly scheduled program:

With the recent drop of Oddisee’s ‘People Hear What They See’ album, my initial impression in speaking with some of my local hip hop heads was literally, ‘This shit is bananas.’  The album sounds as if Oddisee got into Bill and Ted’s infamous time-traveling …

Justice Announce U.S. Tour Dates

Looking back on the great electro surge of the late oughts, few acts brought the fever to the live stage as well as Justice, whose stacks of fake Marshall amps and giant glowing cross wowed audiences over repeat tours, and was even captured in a film.

Lights, Camera, Action! – Paul van Dyk Talks New Video & Stage Set

It’s been two years since I last interviewed German dance mogul Paul van Dyk and in that time, he’s released his best of album, developed a new tour with intricate stage and light design to compliment his DJing and has his sixth studio album coming out called Evolution. You get the sense that he’s mentally a shark – never able to stop swimming. Then again, it’s this undying passion and drive that’s earned him everything from a Grammy nomination to consistent upper rankings in DJ Mag’s top 100 list. We were able to snag some time with him to chat about conceptualizing the new tour and album, dubstep vs. moombahton and the moment he felt like he made it. …MORE
