Madvillain - Madvillainy 2 (The Madlib Remix)

This is a bold move from Madlib, when I first heard that Madvillainy 2 was going to be a remix of the first I was too keen. When Madvillain came out on 2004, it created a lot of buzz and I was expecting the unexpected for it's successor. Apart from that it seems like it was more of a remodel instead of remix and don't worry MF DOOM is still impressive in the lyrical department. Producers and artists should listen to this and treat hip hop like a form of art again.

J*Davey - Land Of The Lost + Mix

Hmmm how to describe J*Davey? A more fitting question is what doesn't describe J*Davey? The duo consist of producer Brook D'Leau and female vocalist Jack Davey (Brianna Cartwright). They avoid the musical norms and create a post-modern afropunk electric soul sound heavily influenced from neo-soul, new wave, funk, and hip-hop. They sounds as if Erykah Badu teamed up with G.O.O.D Music producers Sa-Ra. I've been keeping my eyes on these guys since late 2006 and I've only found a couple of mixes from random blogs. They recently released their 2 disc debut album 'Beauty In Distortion/Land Of The Lost'. I found Land Of the Lost but can't find a complete album of the other one. Well heres Land Of The Lost, most of the songs from Beauty In Distortion and my collection of unreleased songs, sorry for holding out for so long :S

Robin Thicke - Magic (Video)

Robin Thicke's first single for for third album Something Else dropping by this spring here in Australia. The song is pretty good but I couldn't help but laugh at the video, it's so cheesy while he sports a sanchez mustache lol.

CSS - Donkey + Bonus Tracks

The Brazillians are back with a sophomore that album sounds aesthically more post-punk compared to their electro-dominated predecessor. But the sextet still have their synths and the programable drums that was very present in their debut. More than worth it.

If you have been trying to d/l one of the links you may have noticed that it does not work anymore. Divshare has finally terminated my account :(

I'm not sad, well maybe just a little bit but I don't blame them. Thank you Divshare for your superior services. In the meantime, my posts are going to decline in the next couple weeks until I can find a new file host. If you want a missing album or mix, comment on the post and I'll re-up asap.

Kenna ft. Justin Timberlake - Rockway Life

This guy is criminally underrated, I thought I had all his bonus songs from Make Sure They Don't See My Face but I was wrong. Here is a new song that came with the U.K release just recently, I also re-up'd his album if you haven't heard of him yet.

Bloc Party - Mercury

Released a few days ago from their up coming album. For the people who are yearning for a Silent Alarm return, you're not going to like this. But for myself, I like their new sound carrying on from Silent Alarm eventually got repetitive.

I don't really understand the video, but it's one of the better songs on Third.
