Aloe Blacc - You Make Me Smile

Aloe Blacc's new album "Good Things" is finally out via Stones Throw, produced by Truth+Soul Records. Dubbed "recession soul", "You Make Me Smile" has an easy fusion of funk, soul, and smooth vocals with lyrics that have real meaning and relativity to the social & economic environment of 2010. This article written by Martin Horsfield sums it up.

Dam Funk - Hood Pass Intact

This is it and where it's at - true, authentic music from the real artists. At some time in history past, Toeachizown would have no doubtedly been a multi-platinum, internationally recognized, and seated at the top of the charts. Now with the modern music scheme where it is: digitalized, sold out, worn out, and oversaturated with complete garbage, truly talented artists like Dam Funk receive only a fraction of the commendation they deserve.

GoldenEye

8-bit sampling has been done. 16-bit and 32-bit sounds are okay, but we're gonna side with Eliot Lipp on this one and say that going for the 64-bit gold was the right choice. On this exclusive one-off track from the NY producer, a piece of the soundtrack from one of the best first-person shooters of all time, GoldenEye 007 for Nintendo 64, is reworked into a slow-swaggering dance jam that wouldn't be the least bit out of place in a darkly lit nightclub scene featuring a tuxedo-clad Pierce Brosnan with some doe-eyed European knockout. Like the smokey vixen, Lipp's beat is a purely sexual beast, but those ominous synth melodies and sound effects give off the air of an insidious double agent waiting for her chance to pounce.

Mimosa - Keys 2 the City

Mimosa has made his mark on the west coast sound and in the past two years has become one of the top west coast exports. This young producers energy while performing is magnetic; the word has spread fast...Fans know Mimosa as someone who brings a ‘good-time’ energy that is as fierce as it is friendly, taking them on journeys through urban chaos and ecstasy.

Chromeo - Don't Turn the Lights On

When describing the '80s-obsessed, electro-funk of NY duo Chromeo, rarely—if ever—does the word "creepy" come to mind, but that's exactly what the video for the outfit's new song is. "Don't Turn the Lights On" is on the soft-spoken side of Dave1's and P-Thugg's retro-futuristic R&B sound, and is lifted of their forthcoming third album, Business Casual. While the bespectacled frontman politely croons the song's chorus and his bearded cohort quietly jams out on some keys, the lights flick from on to off, leaving the band's glowing eyes and vibrant grins floating in air. The disembodying effect is applied to a wide cast of characters who each get a chance to do some weird shit with their illuminated organs, like so many Cheshire Cats. As "Lights" progresses, things continue to grow stranger and more funny within the video. We always knew Chromeo had a sense of humor, but some of this stuff is totally absurd, which is great.
