El Chavo ft. Sarah G. “Solitude” (Studio Version)

Spanish producer and dj El Chavo and Sarah G. perform “Solitude” live on Spain’s Cuatro TV. Nice jazzy track from the prolific Spanish producer. If you haven’t seen the award winning music video for the “Solitude”, check it out now.

Rhymesayers stays ill with their packaging design. From Atmosphere’s “When Life Gives You Lemons You Paint That Shit Gold” children’s book to this, a full wallet fold and cash package for Freeway and Jake One’s latest album. I don’t even pay that much attention to Freeway really…but damn, I might buy this album just for the packaging. The packaging was done designed and directed by Brent Rollins

Go over to the Rhymesayers site to check out some more pictures of the limited edition packaging.

Arguably one of DMV’s most talented musicians, Oddisee, drops another collection of tracks in his seasonal collection. This one has some verses from Homeboy Sandman and Oddisee’s Diamond District bandmate and fellow DMVer, X.O.

I missed Odd Autumn, but make sure you check that one out too.

Dj Rawla and Dj Lee - Yearly Brew 2009

A nice thing about the end of the year is all of the end of the year mixes. The good homie Dj RawLA comes together with Dj Lee for the wrap up of his Brew of The Week mixes/podcast.

RawLA says:

It’s been a minute since I laced you with a Weekly Brew. I had to fall back and refocus on the direction I wanted to take the Series into. With the end of 2009, though, i felt I needed to collaborate with my good friend DJ Lee on a 2009 compilation. I hate using the word ” best” as it’s an arbitrary and subjective term, so I will call this a Yearly Brew 2009. It’s a mix of stuff that Lee and myself thought were gems of the year. A little something for the ladies, the fellas, and everyone in between. The partygoer, the cool out folks, the older, the younger, and those that have an open ear for musica. Shoutouts to the homie Abe from BIGBADMEDIUM for the sick artwork. Definately appreciate the contribution. Check this man’s site out for tons of dope indie music. May 2010 fill you with much luck, prosperity, love, ambition, food, wine, and life. Paz

A Decade of Flying Lotus - Mixed by The Gaslamp Killer (Save As)

Flying Lotus drops a nice christmas present for all his fans. A decades worth of Flying Lotus.  Check it out.

Flying Lotus says:

Merry Christmas and happy holidays to everyone. As we’re approaching this new year, I felt it was time to let go of some things that have been gathering dust. Some old things, and some new things, I tried to pick out tracks that I know yall haven’t heard yet so there should be surprises around every turn. Can’t believe i’ve been making tracks for over 10 years now..That said, there’s so much to learn still.

I hope you all enjoy this mix. Thanks to the Gaslamp Killer for doing an incredible job on this. Can’t wait for you all to hear my album ‘Cosmogramma’ coming out April 20th 2010 on Warp Records.

Enjoy
