Jersey’s Flamingosis got together with Magical Mystery Mix to create a special DJ mix called Pleasant Pink. We love Flamingosis and we love Magical Mystery Mix. So when we heard there was a collaboration between the two, we didn’t need telling twice. The Jersey-based musician put together a collection of tunes that inspired him, culminating in a sub-40 minute mix titled “Pleasant Pink” featuring the…
Knxwledge drops another tape in the form of HEX.10.8_. Best Knx solo tape in a while. HEX.10.8_. opens with a couple of warbly tracks to set the tone, before a trio of 3-4 minute tracks with raps. Some great “hexual” summer jawns on here. Stream it below.
Knxwledge is back with new tape, WT.PRT.11_. A blend of loops, heavy beats and some Kanye & Pharrell to boot. You know the drill when it comes to Knxwledge. Stream it below.
We interviewed Deadpoole about his latest album and his thoughts on last year’s music. Luke: Congratulations on the new album. Would you say this is your best to date? Deadpoole: Thanks so much. I think so, even right from when first I started out I was always working towards an album. The three EP’s that preceded NIGHT/LIFE were me cutting my teeth musically, figuring out…
We’ve put Knxwledge’s albums in order from wackest to dopest. Complex recently finished their list of Kanye West albums “from worst to best”. They revisited a topic initially posed by Kanye himself during an interview with the New York Times in 2013. Complex being Complex they messed it up and caught some heat for it (what’s that about all publicity is good publicity?) We don’t want…
As it’s Christmas, why not treat yourself and a friend to some SP-404 albums straight from the internet’s Bandcamp crates in our latest edition of Leftover Links. In recent history, Roland’s SP-404 has captured the imagination of underground hip hop producers the galaxy over. Artists such as Ohbliv and Knxwledge have made names for themselves with the instrument, inspiring fans and producers alike. The sampler…
Knxwledge’s FΔithEvΔnsHeartU passed us by… until now. The Auracle casts his beady eye over the rework. First things first: wow. If there was ever a word to summarise what you’re about to listen to, it’s that three-letter expression right there. I’m well aware that this is a “How Did I Miss That?” feature but really, it doubles as a Throwback Thursday joint in two distinctive ways:…
Knxwledge.’s Trost.[issues] is our Song For Sunday. It takes a special kind of producer to get me to like a Drake song nowadays. That man is Knxwledge. and the track in question is Trost.[issues]. One of his rare tracks to go past two minutes, the vocals ride over a brilliantly captured loop from The Spinners’ I Found Love (When I Found You) and Knxwledge.’s ticking beat….
We’re back with another instalment of Leftover Links and we have some Bandcamp albums for your listening pleasure. It’s been a while since our last edition of this feature and we’ve been so inundated with dope albums on Bandcamp, we decided to collate them all. Joints from the likes of Knxwledge, KAYTRANADA, DIBIA$E and JayLotus are amongst the list so get your ears ready for…
Today’s Leftover Links are filled with Bandcamp goodness. We’re back with another edition of Leftover Links and today’s are all about Bandcamp. The online music store has been around since 2008 and has gone from strength to strength, helping independent musicians get their music out without the constraints of services like iTunes. We’ve found some real gems while tag searching but we can’t get round to…
