02.Oct.09 New album “Wide Awake” from Big Gigantic for FREE
Yet again Big Gigantic brings us a completely free album chocked full of kick ass. “Fire it Up” (their previous release) was a an awesome chunk of music with a sound that is uniquely Big G. You can tell Dominic’s production from a mile away – in a good way. “Wide Awake” continues where “Fire it Up” left off. Funky rhythms, prominent saxophone leads and dope ass synths come together into another must have release from this Boulder, CO based band. The album drops on 1320 and was mastered by Alex B (of Pnuma Trio).
While the album is free, we urge those of you that can afford it to make a donation to the band for their efforts. It’s worth every penny! You can find the donation link here.
You can get the album here. Also be sure to check out the Big G website and MySpace.

30.Sep.09 Flying Lotus videos from Destroy LA
The production on the events they have out there is amazing. Lights, TV screens, projectors. Just nuts. Click read more to scope the 2nd video. By the way I found these on the GiveMeBrain blog. Please check their website out. It’s dope!
30.Sep.09 Mr. Invisible’s Aswell destroying the MPC
I cannot believe that I hadn’t thrown this up on the blog yet. I’ve had the pleasure of seeing him throw down live 3 times (one being our Bele Chere late night show). Yes, this is all in real time. And this version is not nearly as smooth as the performances we’ve been seeing lately. Just try and beat that. You can’t.
30.Sep.09 MicroKorgs kick ass. Here’s why…
Wanna grab one of these sooner than later. Love the sounds and key action (in spite of it’s semi cheap plasticy feel). This video was recorded by a guy who makes beats under the name Dorian Concept. Scope out his MySpace for more tracks.
29.Sep.09 New business cards arrived!
The matte finish and 14 pt cardstock were worthwhile additions. They look and feel a lot nicer than the average 13pt glossy jobs you see a lot. Liking these much better than our old design.
