Current Listenings

      

DJ Kicks – Wolf + Lamb VS. Soul Clap – Their low tempo deep house mix is giving me tons of inspiration lately. a superb mix. Also it doesn’t hurt to support Boston’s very own Soul Clap crew.
Tyler, The Creator – Goblin – I’m a little late on this super hyped goblin dude but after listening to the album, I get the hype.
Motor City Drum Ensemble – His famous raw cuts in one album! look out for MCDE dj kicks release in July.
Abyss – Birdsong – Ace return from Buzzin’ fly veteran, Abyss.

Radiohead is doing another Live from the Basement with the tracks from the King of Limbs album. This is their new song “Staircase”

Ben Watt RA Exchange Podcast

My constant inspiration, Ben Watt was invited to Resident Adviso Exchange Podcast to talk about his career. 2 hour full of rare stories about how he got into the music business, meeting Tracey Thorn, Lazy Dog era, and up to being a label boss of Buzzin’ Fly records. you can download the episode here!

underworld – jimmy fallon

30 years after their debut, underworld finally figured out how to make the song short enough for a media to play. on their first time ever appearance on the TV, Karl dances like if he took some pills before the show. check out their new album “Barking”. it’s delicious.
