LOL Boys – Blockz

Blockz is the lead track off the new EP from Discobelle’s mystic LOL Boys, and I really can’t describe it better than they did:

The ‘Blockz’ video is a trippy rendition of what would happen if your friend’s inspirational wolf shirt lost its way to the cleaners and wound up inside Bryce 3D…It sends you into a THC induced journey through underwater caverns while you’re riding on the back of a bottle nosed dolphin. Rumored to be originally released as a homemade Sega Saturn disc back in 1994, the shimmering analog casiotone evokes the ambient bliss of lovesick teenagers laying in a field drinking a slushie laced with ecstasy. struggling to stand up.

Go grab the free remix from Gown Folk, or buy the whole EP over at Beatport.


I’d do what Omar and Zed Bias are telling you, anyone who can get Stevie Wonder to feature on their tracks commands authority, got it?

‘Dancing’ comes out on Tru Thoughts Records on a limited vinyl run on the 9th of May before going on general digital release on June 27th.

Sunday Jam: Percee P

This one a Madlib production, with a signature soul sample (from this Freda Payne tune) and Percee P’s smooth flow riding over the top.

Yo-Yo Ma & Lil Buck

Word of warning: do not take drugs before you watch this crazy vid. Spike Jonze is behind this one…who else?!

The man WILDLIFE! has struck again, making yet another set of subtle, yet improved edits of some huge but underrated dancehall tunes. Chan Dizzy’s ‘Strange Face’ and Vybz’s ‘Tattoo Time’ are both dark and steeped with bass, but the Swiss producer manages to make them a little less sparse, with his sneaky melodies lingering in the background. Be sure to check his latest mixtape for Truants.
