It's no secret that we are huge fans of People Under The Stairs here on Earmilk. They recently had a contest where they had contestants take a song from their latest album and come up with the best and most unique mix. PUTS goes on to explain their criteria: I appreciate the number of dance and house remixes that were done but a few of them seemed to lay the vocals on as an afterthought. If the rhymes aren't riding the beat, I feel like the song is better off as a beat and not a "remix". On the same note, the...
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...
Georgia Anne Muldrow is arguably the most controversial figure, musically, to grace the soul/R&B genre since Erykah Badu brought us Baduizm back in '97. I was first introduced to songstress in 2007 with Olesi: Fragments of an Earth, a release from the ever renowned Stones Throw label that had...
Here are the creative partners rocking an awesome show in the city of love. After listening to their albums, and then seeing their live performance, one could almost argue that Sa-Ra are a reincarnated Funkadelic, well, minus the performance art. Unfortunately they dont tour anymore, but I have...
People have been waiting to hear more LCD Soundsystem for almost 3 years. Now, you get to. Their newest track "Bye, Bye, Bayou" is an 7 minute long epic that is a disco flavored remix/cover of Suicide member Alan Vega's 1980 track. It has a definite sexy feel too, something that kind of reminds me...
People Under The Stairs have relased the official video for the song "Trippin' at the Disco" which is a track on their upcoming album. The album drops tomorrow so make sure you grab it. The video is hilarious and of course has dope rhymes and beats. Their is a "back story" to the video that goes a...
With the impending release of Sir Luscious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty, the rooster gives us a a taste of what's in store. The track is definitely indicative of what Big Boi has done in the past; a strolling funky beat, tripped out vocals in the chorus and the occasional nod from the original...
If there is one thing that's become obvious by now, it's that Earmilk appreciates a good remix. But one thing we appreciate even more is a good musical history lesson. We find this in The Messengers. A few weeks back, J. Period, the incredible DJ behind, amongst other things, Kid Cudi and...
