DUKE RED

Honey colour-n-flavour diggin’ OUT new track from our proud city’s finest< Ambassadeurs << rolling sounds that are making this guy’s debut a supremely anticipated moment (+free download at xlr8r here). And for plus plus a hyper new video for M.O.P.E which you should check out too if only simply because this track is one flaming hot ticket to boom-town.

— Also to remind yALL this friday is Aka Aka Roar’s sonic booty buster in the shape of Theo Parrish and Julio Bashmore at LIFE, if you don’t have a ticket, find somebody who does and beg/steal/bribe/blackmail/murder(?), it promises to be ridiculous.

FATOUMATA DIAWARA

Fatoumata Diawara is a Malian GODDESS. It seems moronic saying things like “this is SO sick”, or “safe”, because it is so beautiful.

But listen to this safe artist, it is SO sick.
