Good evening fair LxNxM denizens. In addition to being a prolific local beatmaker, WD40 also holds down a nightly called Grey Area a the local bar/artspace Grey Gallery. If experimentaldubglitchbreakhopstep is what you seek – or if it sounds compelling Grey area is the spot.
Here is the first ever Grey Area Podcast to give you taste of what you might hear. Kicking it off with resident blapster Dead Noise and a bunch of his original tracks, mixed with some of his favorite tunes of the day. Rounding things out, Ill Cosby (Car/Crash/Set) brings a fine selection of glitchy, wonky sounds from the future!
If you can make it out to Grey Area this Friday, Feb.12 – you can catch LxNxM’s very own Toast and Tang on the decks as special guests. Peace.
Hailing from West London, and the One Handed Music squad along with Paul White, Nathan “Bullion” Jenkins sneaks mushrooms into your hip hop dance party and shames you off the decks. Apparently this beat savant piqued many an ear with a mix called Pet Sounds: in the Key of Dee, a remix project that remixed The Beach Boys in the style of the late and beloved Dilla. This was followed by the well received Young Heartache EP.
Now Bullion packs more flava for ya ear with the new single “Say Goodbye to What” along with a free mix composed in cahoots with the freshcheckers at FACT magazine. The single and mix are a gumbo of Krautrock, afro-funk, avant-garde electronics and dreamy 70s rock. For god’s sakes have the friends over for a potluck and dance already… Download the Bullion FACT magazine mix
I recognize that this Jay Electronica track surfaced a couple of months ago virally but it’s really just starting to catch fire now. I don’t even feel bad about the late pass you want to hit me with. I’m guilty! Still, have you heard “Exhibit C” yet? I mean, really heard it. The song is amazing and is a total return to the art of true MCing. God-like MCing.
Folks are sometimes too quick to make the Jay Electronica/Nas comparisons if you ask me. A writer from Pitchfork wasted half of a review on it this morning. There are some similarities I suppose but I’d say he sounds more like Rakim to me if anybody. Either way, he’s spitting out proverbs and ghetto psalms on just about every track I’ve heard from him thus far and “Exhibit C” is hip-hop’s New New Testament. The number of pure quotables he drops on this track is ridiculous and if you haven’t heard it yet, the first listen is the best.
If you’re already a fan of the “Exhibit” series (Jay Elec+Just Blaze), then you know “Exhibit A” is smoldering but “Exhibit B” with Mos Def was just so so. Trust, “Exhibit C” rectifies all that. You can stream the song and download it right here.
Hi-Tek’s face pretty much says it all.
Keep your eyes and ears peeled for a new Statik Selektah X Reflection Eternal mixtape coming out on New Year’s Eve and a new RE album, Revolutions Per Minute, in 2010 – yet another sign that 2010 is gonna be a good year.

We like mixtapes up in this biz, and we like people who send them to us (hint hint: lastnightsmixtape@gmail.com). One such person is LxNxM affiliate/associate/G-Unit Hollis Wong-Weezy, aka Ispire of Canary Sing. Hollis put together a little something something of the music that’s getting her up and out in the morning, including an exclusive preview of the Canary Sing remix of Dead Prez’s Mind Sex.
The mix goes by the handle i can’t help it, and it’s good isht, running the gamut from some BK-One/Haiku d’Etat to Senegal repper/rapper Sister Fa. The full tracklist is below the jump, so start downlading that goodness, and peruse the full selection. Get that!
Quebec has given birth to steezo as diverse as Celine Dion and William Shatner. In the indigenous Algonquin language Quebec means“where the river narrows”. Out of this land of coalescing waters and styles emerges Vlooper.
Hailing from the francophone Montreal city , Vlooper identifies himself and his art with the struggle/re-definition of Quebecois sovereignity, so don’t call a brother Canadian. When not grinding on the 40-hour a week hustle and or making dope music alongside comrades Kenlo and his stateside westcoast clique Homeless Royalty, Vlooper and his wife engage in community based projects such as running Ociel “ A sovereign teashop/refuge for artists of all disciplines”.
Vlooper’s music sounds like a house party wafting of sweet tobacco full of head nodding, funky, sexy revolutionary cyborgs – full of love and posted up – sharing pastiche nodes of human joy through music. Peep the mixtapes here.

Dang, this track is just off the motherfrickin chain!
Courtesy of okayplayer, this song, which was likely made in the early 2000s, was produced by Dilla while he was still alive. Jay Electronica didn’t actually meet Dilla to work on this project, but it’s fire nonetheless.
Okayplayer, why isn’t this shit out yet? This teaser video came out almost three months ago already! Y’all are killing me! I guess I have to settle for this live version for now. Listen to and/or download the full live set here.
