Really looking forward to this one!! 24hourkarateschool.com dropped a .zip with 13min of snippets & an 11min “visual mixtape” of snippets mixed in with in-studio/karate footage. Bad news, at the end of the video trailer, they announce that the tape will be “available March 30th.”

The 5 essential albums of 2009.

Everybody is doing their "Best of the year" posts these days, so I thought I'll get in on the action. A couple of these aren't REALLY 2009, because parts leaked in 2008 already or were simply way ahead of their time. So basically... The following five albums are the ones that constantly ran in my iPod this year. Let's get into it:

El Michels Affair - Enter The 37th Chamber

Full instrumental reinterpretations of classic tracks by the Wu-Tang Clan. RZA's raw soundscapes translate perfectly to the vibe of El Michels Affair's "cinematic soul," and beats from more than a dozen Wu anthems get proper do-overs courtesy of one of the hottest bands in the biz...

Gaslamp Killer - I spit on your grave

When Giles Peterson played some snippets of this tape on his radio show, it was crystal clear to me, that this dude is way ahead of his time. Seriously dope new mix spanning deep psych and hip-hop breaks, with some Roots Manuva, Mulatu, Dabrye and more chucked in for good measure. One of the finest mixes you'll ever hear.

Mayer Hawthorne - A Strange Arrangement

I've written numerous time about this white boy before and so have millions of other blogs. This guy has soul and is not afraid to show it. This album is an instant classic.

Mos Def - The Ecstatic

After some musical (and cinematic) excursions, Mos Def came back strong with Madlib, Dilla, Chad Hugo, Georgia Anne Muldrow and Oh No supplying the beats. I like most of the stuff Mos releases, but this one hits the nail on the head.

Hudson Mohawke - Butter

This album is truely "butter". Rarely there's an album which gets this much antipication from the press and the "underground". Straight out of Glasgow, Hudmo pulled it off with a bang. Easily moved into my All Time Favourites from day one of the release. His essential mix a few weeks ago on BBC Radio 1 was also mind blowing. Big future ahead of you, kid!
