EVERYONE'S RIDING EVERYBODY'S BUS.

Fellow readers! So I've been hearing the name Theophilus London being thrown around for a while now but I never really paid much attention. However, after seeing the video for "Humdrum Town" (Above), I have no choice but to ride the Theophilus London bandwagon, bus, whatever you want to call it. Also check out Theophilus' song "Day One Fans" which is one more reason he won my heart. Reason being that he chose to spit over a Love Juice song remixed by DANGER. Let it be known dear world, I love Danger. Danger has been one of my all time favourite electro acts since maybe two years now and I can proudly say that I haven't gotten bored of the sound yet...which happens quite a lot with me. Why not download Danger's new single 4h30 while you're already here.

EXIT THROUGH THE GIFT SHOP - A BANKSY FILM

Banksy's movie is said to premiere at Sundance and is proclaimed 'the world's first street art disaster movie'. From the trailer it looks like several of the world's most renowned street artist's will be featured in this movie and caught in action. I see Andre, OBEY and Invader? who is seen putting up a crappy tag.

LOOTPACK FOR TOYOTA OXNARD

Okay, wow. This seriously just blew my mind. I just came across this video of Lootpack advertising for their local Toyota branch in Oxnard California back in the 90's. I guess you gotta do what you gotta do if you're trying to make it big. This is pure radness. If you don't know, Lootpack consists of Wildchild, DJ Romes and of course, Madlib.

KANYE'S SOUL MIX SHOW

A-Trak released a mixtape that was previously only released in Japan in 2006 and features samples that Kanye used over the years and is hosted by the man himself. I really love this mix. It reminds me of the great "Shaolin Soul" compilation which really got me into discovering samples.

MISHKA KEEP WATCH VOLUME XV: CROOKERS

This collaboration was inevitable. Mishka start off the year in the absolute best way to possibly do it. Here you have another bass heavy Keep Watch mix that NEVER fails to bring it. Crookers don't need much of an introduction, they might just be the biggest thing their genre has to offer at the moment. COP THIS MIX.
