Green Label Sound blessed us with a new track from the 80’s synth god himself, Alan Palomo, the brains behind the bastard child Neon Indian. The track is called “Sleep Paralysist,” it was recorded and produced in collaboration with Chris Taylor of Grizzly Bear in Brooklyn at Taylor’s elusive musical dungeon, Terrible Studios.

This is Neon Indian’s first new offering since the release of his critically acclaimed debut album Psychic Chasms last October. The track is a little more glossy then what we’re regularly accustomed to from Alan, but again its nothing short of amazing and in no way disappoints. Listening to the track however only makes me hurt inside and feen for more.

Stones Throw is just one of those incredible labels, that it seems like, can do no wrong when it comes to shelling out good music. With almost 12 years under their belt, the label has managed to bring forth a few legendary enigmas at the forefront of the hip-hop genre, as well as drop some undeniable classic discography (MADVILLIAN anyone?). Los Angeles “Ambassador of Boogie”, aka Dam-Funk only adds to the polished resume with his own brand of modern-funk. A student of past funkateers such as Prince and Roger Troutman, Dam’s Toeachizown is a 5 LP, conceptual dissertation, firmly solidifying his place in the genre. “Mirrors” is just one of the many funky, progressive electro jams out of the set, and he recently happened to drop a video for it. Check it out below. More after the jump.

What do you get when you mix the new school party boys with a old school club banger? You get “Shots” which is the song from LMFAO and Lil Jon. The song has been out for a good minute but the video was just released this month. The video is funny as hell and should always be used to get the party started for the night. They even got alcohol drink recipes sprinkled throughout the video so you can DIY! Now i’m not promoting the consumption of non stop shots at the club but hey…have some fun! Happy Aloha Friday …get drunk! Check out the video and song below:

I recently got a chance to go to a Matisyahu concert here in San Diego but what I ended up finding was something even more kosher. I got to the concert pretty late and didn’t get to hear all the other bands that played before the featured guest but luckily the first group I heard play that night just so happened to be one of the best performances I’ve ever witnessed. The group i’m talking about is Vokab Kompany. They are local to the San Diego area and definitely rep their city very well. When i first entered the arena I could faintly hear them performing and as I got closer and closer I heard a mix of sounds i hadn’t really heard before. It was a mix of hip-hop, rap, electro, funk, reggae, 80’s…you name it and all coming from one band. This is what made me immediately appreciate the performance that had been set before me.

I’m a huge fan of groups that try to mix genres together that don’t necessarily belong together and these guys prove that it can be done well. If you listen to their music you will see the eclectic mix of genres and styles that seem to come together flawlessly. Now, it wasn’t JUST their music that caught me but also their performance. These guys really know how to move a crowd and they really try to put you in a trance with all the layering they put in their songs. The performance I witnessed at this festival really just blew me away and I really wasn’t ready for it.
