[preview] Foreign Beggars "Flying to Mars"

I had no idea Foreign Beggars signed to Deadmau5's mau5trap imprint. This is the first single from their forthcoming album, The Uprising, and it not only features Donae'o on the vocals, but it's produced by Alix Perez. Oh my.

Rickie Jacobs - Live Epic

This week's too long and I haven't had a beer yet, so I'll let Buck walk you through Rickie Jacobs' latest: "When it comes to life, are you actually living? Or are you allowing death to approach you slowly but surely? You do, in fact, only live once and within the hour of your birth and the hour of your death, it is up to you, and only you, to live it up before your time is up! With the aim to make history while his heart continues beating and his thoughts remain racing, Rickie Jacobs presents the next chapter of his story, which takes you on a ride through his soul and in turn, you can attempt to see life as he sees it through his own eyes! After all, before you can Die Brilliant, you must first Live Epic! What's your life like?"

[preview] Sinistarr - Cetra EP

So glad to see URB pick up on Sinistarr's Cetra EP, which is forthcoming on Hit & Hope in June, I believe. Early support has already come from Sinden, Om Unit, Crissy Murderbot and Goldie, and for good measure, especially considering this is the first batch of non-DnB cuts the public has heard from this Detroit beatsmith. He digs into his roots, as well as delving into the Footwork side of things with "Bear The Mark" (which I've had for a minute and am glad it's seeing the light of day). The title cut has a chilled, Garage-y vibe, but "Runna" is the one IMO. Dope Hip-Hop vibe to it. You're not ready. Included in this preview is a Tailor Hawkins remix of "Cetra", but I don't believe that's on the final EP. Anyone looking to interview or feature Sinistarr more in depth, shoot me an e-mail. For the time being, check out Sinistarr's mix for the Sub.Mission Podcast, and be on the lookout for his mixtape alongside Disc Jockey Nappy.

Dub Phizix: Free Shit

To say thanks for reaching 10K fans on Facebook, Dub Phizix has sorted out this dope 15-minute mix of tunes that he'll be giving away (with wild titles voiced by his boy Chimpo). The catch is, you have to vote HERE; input your name and email address and he'll send bits out to those who voted. Fucking tough tunes, too!

BSE Podcast #19: Optiv & BTK

Yo shouts out to BTK. Quiet as kept, I was trying to put out a little bootleg BTK did that ended up getting released for free. In any case, he's been making a LOT of noise with Optiv (who you trainspotters might know as one of them Cause 4 Concern boys), and they have an album, Dirty Tricks, set to drop on Virus in the near future. They stepped up for the Black Sun Empire podcast and drop a serious a mount of tracks, mostly their bits. You aren't ready. And if you're in Belgium on July 23rd, hit up BSE's Blackout night, which will find these two going B2B.

2012 Roots Picnic Mixtape (mixed by DJ Low Budget)

Wild to see Okayplayer/The Roots link up with DJ Low Budget for this mixtape, which celebrates the 5th Annual Roots Picnic. Shouts to the heads who know what Low B is all about. Loads of blends on this one, mixing up artists on the bill. This shit is a real treat, trust. More details on the mix, and the night, via OKP (a download link on this one would've been nice). EDIT Get Right Music has the download - props to them!

Jill Scott "He Loves Me (soulTec & B-Pro Bootleg)"

This is the kind of Drum & Bass my mom would fucks with. Not sure what made soulTec & B-Pro pick up on this Who Is Jill Scott number, but this shit works. I believe there was a Drum & Bass bootleg of "Love Rain" from a decade ago, and I'm surprised more producers don't remix her shit. In the liquid era, where you want your somber bangers to feature some sultry vocals, Jill Scott should be the go-to, right? Anyways, fucks with this.

Dom O Briggs "21 Years"

For his 21st birthdya, @DomOBriggs gives us a lil' something over some Hippie Sabotage heavenly heaven shit.I tried telling dude, it's all back pain and Tums after this, so I ask him to live his life to the fullest right now. And if you fucked with Always Inspire(d), you know he's got a bright future ahead of him. Drinks up, dog.
