The Kid Daytona & 6th Sense – The Making Of “Camelot” (video)

Posted in Artists, Live Performances, Other Peoples' Interviews, Videos on June 16th, 2011 by Hyphen

Big shout to Daytona for sending over the behind the scenes footage of him and 6th in the studio cooking up a record called “Camelot.”Â I don’t think fans get to see these scenes enough, and certainly, nobody gets to see 6th’s beard enough. No word on where/when this song will be released, but I’m sure you’ll hear it on SNSS when it drops!

CunninLynguists, Tonedeff, & Homeboy Sandman in Seattle – May 15th

Posted in Artists, Live Performances on April 28th, 2011 by Hyphen

Seattle: On Sunday, May 15th, I expect to see you all at the Croc to check out some of the illest (and criminally underrated) artists out there: The CunninLynguists, Tonedeff, and Homeboy Sandman.Â You should be familiar with all of them by now, especially if you listen to Sound Session since we play them all quite often, but if not, come see them in person and learn something.Â You’ll also get to see Blue Sky, Black Death, who make some incredible beats, and local music from the Knowmads.

Be there!

Shad – Valentine’s Day Freestyle (video)

Posted in Artists, Live Performances, Videos on March 3rd, 2011 by Hyphen

Shout to G for sending this through and explaining that it’s footage from a Valentine’s Day (the best day…#birthdayswag) event in Vancouver.Â Although he did include the phrase “Out Of Love, Pt. 3” in the email…hmmm….could we see a continuation of the series?

Part 1 (2005):

Part 2 (2007):

Portland Cello Project covers Kanye’s “All Of The Lights”

Posted in Live Performances, Videos on January 29th, 2011 by Hyphen

On Graduation, Kanye’s goal was to create stadium anthems (remember the line, “stadium status”?) and it seems with My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, he’s crossed over to the orchestral world.Â Opera house status doesn’t quite have the same ring to it, but the music sure sounds perfect.

This is crazy!

Posted in Live Performances, Videos on January 29th, 2011 by Hyphen

I’ve heard a few of them done better, but overall, this beatbox performance from France’s EKLIPS is bananas.Â Oui, c’est bon.

Aloe Blacc – Take Away Show, Pt. 1 (video)

Posted in Art, Artists, Live Performances on October 23rd, 2010 by Hyphen

Aloe and company perform two records live in Parisian cafes.Â While “Hey Brother” was dope, this rendition of “I Need A Dollar” was insane.Â I’m still happy I was able to witness this in person too.Â I think I need to leak the mp3 of that performance soon…

Speaking of Paris, after watching Robin Hood last night, I officially have a crush on Lea Seydoux:

Yessir!
