File this one under “holy crap!”

We always love it when we see different, and separately dope worlds in the music industry collide. This is one of those times. Announced today, Alex B has released a new 50 min sampler mix on Brainfeeder featuring 90% original, unreleased material and about 10% personal favs. Titled “Brain Food”, this mix is yet another chapter in Alex’s rise in the head nodding world of new school hip hop revival.

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.

Big ups to the Pnuma crew. Just dropped a ton of dates on us. Alex B also repping a small tour of his own and some Lipp Service shows as well (members of Pnuma with Eliot Lipp)
