[Download] Tommie Sunshine - Spring Sprang DJ Mix

You know what? It's just easier for Tommie Sunshine to explain this mix himself:

"Since the radio is full of mainstream dance music right now, I decided to pull things WAY underground for this mix. The world is operating at a fever-pitch and this is the soundtrack of you closing your eyes on a Saturday night and cutting the cords that hold you to this Earth. This is straight up, psychedelic dance music that is intended to cause a state of disconnection with the real world and its made with ultimate love. Do whatever it is that takes you to that place and turn this the fuck up and play it LOUD!"

And there you have it! It's 24 tracks at a whopping hour and 35 minutes long tracks that will reset your inner dance compass and cleanse you of that whole Duck Sauce on Glee last night experience....what the heck WAS that anyway!?

Have a listen to the mix below, or download it and play it from anywhere. If you care about the track list, you can check that out after the jump.

[Download] Blaqstarr - "Kiss Me On My Lips (feat. Mos Def)"

Below is the second track from Blaqstarr's upcoming mixtape that drops on April 12th called "Kiss Me On My Lips". The track, which is quite different from the first track from the mixtape calle "War Of Roses", features Mos Def. It feels a bit repetitive in certain points but I can't totally walk away from it quite yet.

Guess we'll have to see what else is in that mixtape before we can pass final judgement on Blaqstarr.

As the anticipation builds for Blaqstarr's upcoming project Blaqstarr: The Mixtape, which drops on April 12th, Blaqstarr has unleashed "War of Roses" onto the masses. The track features a collaboration with Brooklyn MC Talib Kweli and has this really great rock + club vibe to it.

If you're into this and want to hear more, you can head over to Blaqstarr's website on April 12th to grab his mixtape.

[Download] Darwin Deez Goes Hip Hop For His New Mixtape 'Wonky Beats'

Well this is an odd turn of events, SKoA Favorite Darwin Deez decides to go all Kool Keith on us, and turn into an abstract emcee and drop a mix-tape created entirely from samples from the 1971 surrealist children’s classic “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory”, roping in friends like Dev Hynes, KOOL AD from Das Racist and Xaphoon Jones of Chiddy Bang.

“It's a high concept mix-tape, tailor-made for multi-generational impact, created exclusively from Willy Wonka samples with the songs all derived from/based on the original 1971 score. It's like the Grey album but with Chocolate. Inspired by Das Rascist's "you oughta know" lazily singing along with the choruses.  chunky as hell beats.  The film is a great allegory.  I never knew it was allegorical until a stoner pointed that out to me though. I just always loved the songs.  Really special melodies (cheer up charlie) and chords (pure imagination).  Thought they'd make good hip hop choruses. Why limit yourself to Willy Wonka samples?  Limitations inspire me.  Limitations give me the freedom to feel ok about whatever comes out because I can always blame the limitations.  But the secret is to get the faucet running in the first place.  Otherwise I am just too serious and too scared to write anything.  But this particular limitation also has the power to make people curious, like the Grey album, which is all it takes in this day and age to make a popular record; and potential popularity is always thrilling, never daunting. It's the writing itself, the impossibly high quality standards I carry around in my brain that make me scared to write.  Not the idea of other people listening in.  I WANT people to listen in.  The rap style is like a brain dump (which is the technical definition of surrealism.  "Why a mix-tape?" - albums are to mix-tapes as the news is to gossip. They will change the way you hear the songs in the movie forever!”

How to get the mix-tape? Well, it is now available online, and all he wants in return is your LOVE.  Full details are here:  http://darwindeez.com/wonkybeats OH YEAH! In addition 5 lucky winners will also find inside their Zip a Golden Ticket; the Golden Ticket is redeemable for the grand prize: which is a lifetime supply of Darwin Deez music and tickets to local DD headline shows! Peep the track "Where's The Chocolate?" featuring KOOL AD from Das Racist below and pick this one up asap!
