"Mystic Wonders"

This. All day. 

Late Night Radio

Been digging this. Sort of takes me back to old RJD2.

Little People "Moon"

A real gem from '06. Cold piano jams. If you're down with Bonobo then you know what it is.

Keor Meteor Beats

What's old is new again. From France with Beats.

J.Cole "Grew Up Fast"

Damn. J.Cole had a good 2011 and this new joint shows he's not falling off this year either. Dig that David Ruffin sample too.

O.V. Wright

Hands down one of my favorite voices in the pantheon of soul...salve for a bruised mind..."Everybody Knows"


If you stroll through Wright's catalog, you'll recognize quite a few familiar loops re-purposed by RZA.  You might remember part of "Drowning on Dry Land" from its appearance on the first Bobby Digital record, among others.

Baggy Spandex

As the story goes (and I have no way of validating it, I'm passing along second hand info), Kotchy was wandering through Brooklyn and stumbled across a box of records. While flipping through them, a door opened and out walked the lady who played Janine in Ghostbusters wearing baggy spandex shorts. (It's got that certain crazy-enough-to-be-true quality to it)...
Anyway, Kotchy grabbed the records and went home to turn the box's contents into an EP. The results are fun. Great if you have musical ADD and a keen enough ear to place most of the samples.

Video: Wendy Rene "Crying All By Myself"

Oh man. Wendy Rene is so awesome. Stax Records. Memphis, TN. Her "After the Laughter" is also highly recommended - RZA sampled it twice. (Once for Wu, and once for an ODB collab on the 1st Bobby Digital record). Her voice is just so unique.

Brooklynati Sample Mix

Here's a nice holiday treat for you. Tanya Morgan producer/emcee Von Pea opens up his crates to give everyone a look at the original tracks that he chopped up to make the beats on Brooklynati.

Grab a copy of the mix here.
