Shonzilla, a pattern-seeking animal

Peaceful, wonderful tune for a Sunday evening… ”Brother Don’t Cry” by Red Eye, Youthman & Luce.

Robert Glasper and his Robert Glasper Experiment will be release the new album called “Black Radio” on 28th February 2012.

Jazz, soul, r&b and hip-hop join hands and a whole bunch of accomplished singers/musicians have lent their hand: Erykah Badu, Lalah Hathaway, Lupe Fiasco, Bilal, Ledisi, KING, Musiq Soulchild, Chrisette Michele, Meshell N’degeocello, Stokely, Yasiin Bey (a.k.a. Mos Def).

Also check out this video about wetting your appetite even more.

Do you want more? Here’s an extra free tune. 

Glasgow-based producer and  Ross Birchard (a.k.a. Hudson Mohawke) has already been delivering some big, fresh sounds, but this, this is the next level.

The tune “Thank You” is how reverse engineering goose gumps might sound like.

Thank you, Hudson Mohawke!

If your speakers or headphones have a fat bass, you’ll be thankful again for making the investment.

The visuals you see here are not from the original “Thank You” video which doesn’t exist yet anyway. These appropriately energetic scenes nicely cut-up by Petriqor come from “Summer Wars” (Samâ wôzu) anime. It’s a pretty amazing movie that won the Japanese Oscar for the best animated feature in 2010.

Who said drum’n’bass is dead?

The d’n’b shamanism from Dub Phizix with the tune “Marka” is here to prove your wrong.

p.s. Tell your kids to go to bed and use their earplugs before you hit play…

You’ll enjoy this one and you’ll (again) want to go Japan.

See Tokyo and one of its busiest city parts (i.e. wards), Shibuya in a different way - in slow motion. Excellent musical soundtrack is a tune “… and the World Laughs With You” from Flying Lotus feat. the head of Radiohead, Thom Yorke.

The author of this wonderful and clever video is Alex Lee.

When breakdancing becomes ballet…

The piece played by Yo-Yo Ma ist “The Swan” and the breakdancer is Lil Buck. 

Thanks to Robert for the link.

Life has it’s ups and downs… and music will follow us all the way.

Thanks to Sebastian S for the tip.

This is how I (fore)see the decade that has just begun.

No, it’s not about (Mandelbrot) fractals or Inception (or Matrix).
It’s about relaxed awesomeness!

That was cool, wasn’t it? 

If you’re wondering about the background of this video clip, here’s some info I managed to dig out:

Music: Astroblast by Musicians with Guns (Alexandre Lehmann’s side project; @zzzzra), from the “Using the Iaxian key” album which is to be released in 2011 Q1 on Entropy Records.
Animation: Ricardo Montalban (couldn’t find much about him apart that he seems to be tweeting @zzzzra; obviously he’s not the deceased Mexican actor)
Software: Adobe Photoshop CS5 (!) with Adobe Pixel Bender plugin and 3D Mandelbulb (background, download the ray tracer)

Cool video for a song “Lovely Bloodflow” from a ridiculously talented musician/falsetto singer from LA, Baths a.k.a. Will Wiesenfeld. Enjoy!

Short & awesome! :-)

Thanks to Mira for the hint.
