So here it is, Gonjasufi's album on Warp!! Clash Music offers a full preview of the album (below) and I must say I dig it a lot. Although the producers Mainframe, Gaslamp Killer and Flying Lotus inject their own style, it all comes together very nicely. Some raw shit! Just how we like it :P
Heading up to Fabric in two weeks to see FlyLo (and his crew) - after hearing these two tracks on Gilles Peterson's show on Radio 1 I think he is gonna completely destroy Fabric!!! If any of you is going to the Brainfeeder night at Fabric and wants to chat over a beer or whatever, email me holla[at]gnarlee[dot]net - keen to meet some of my readers from the UK :)
Warp Records has released some more information about Flying Lotus' upcoming album Cosmogramma. There are also three recent tracks which didn't make the album up for grabs here.
Browsed around today to see what's coming out this year! Here's what I am looking forward to most:
Erykah Badu - New Amerykah Part II (Return of the Ankh).Flying Lotus - Cosmogramma.
20th April.
Producers/Collaborators: TBA.
Gonjasufi is the LA-based, shaman looking, vocalist who collaborated plenty of times with people like Flying Lotus and the Gaslamp Killer. The outcome were tracks that were simply out of this world. Warp Records signed Gonjasufi some time ago and now a collaboration album with Gaslamp Killer has a firm release date: 9th March 2010!
"I just hope this record reaches people at the point when they're one foot out the window and looking down and that song comes on through the speakers and they pull their foot back through the windows and say "wait a minute - let me re-evaluate the situation..". If anything I would pray that people find the ability to find themselves in the music." - GonjasufiI'm signing off for today and leave you a smooth tune. Smoother than smooth. Produced by Flying Lotus. Out on Gilles Peterson's Brownswood Recordings.
FlyLo talked to Pitchfork about the new album and the different projects he’s been working on, even naming some dream collaborators.

OK it has come this, a post about Gucci Mane...
I don't really like his music, nor do I care much that he's in jail these days. But Diplo has taken it upon himself to "Free Gucci" and assembled an all star cast of producers to remix Gucci tracks. Besides Diplo himself you'll find remixes by Bird Peterson, Mumdance, Zomby, DZ and Flying Lotus. Definitely worth a listen. DOWNLOAD. BURR. BURR.
