Soulection. Buy it from Bandcamp.
Taquwami is from Tokyo. Heard him on this mix.
Turn it up. Instrumental of a Danny Brown remix by Montreal’s KAYTRANADA.
Los Angeles artist Ill Chill reached out to me on email, and I’m real glad he did. Track features Anthony Ellect, and is a good song that walks the line between seducing girls you like with cornball text message lovenotes and encouraging a “DO WORK” ‘tude, but it works.
I always dig drone-y synths like this, and I’d like to see more of an exploration of these concepts in the lyrics. Pretend bragging and impossibly high claims of luxury gets a bit tired, especially when it comes from artists you just know work day jobs when they’re not being internet important, so this is one’s a breath of fresh air.

“Gotta Get Down” by Sax G feat. Choklate.
“Suit and Tie” by Justin Timberlake (remixed by Ta-ku)
Freaked a “little” is a bit of an understatement. Great remix.
BALANCED EP (OUT NOW):

“I wanted to capture the listener’s emotions and get others inspired by the sounds & samples I chose. I love creating that feel good music. Most of the tracks have female voices because I feel that only a woman can inspire a true work of art.. Thanks to Soulection I’m able to do what I love and will continue to do so in the future.”

“Udon Quixote” by Mike Gao.
“Get It” by TREE.
This Chicago rapper is getting slept on so much it’s not even funny.
PRISM Mix 003 comes courtesy of Sivey, kicking off what’s set to be a big year for him with both a collab EP with Evil Needle (who brought us last months PRISM Mix 002) and a solo EP lined up.
Following on from the success of his Frank Ocean ‘Pink Matter’ refix, which turned heads and introduced a lot of people to his meticulous ear for sound, Sivey showcases an expertly mixed selection of tracks that he’s feeling right now as well as a few exclusives thrown in for good measure to give you an idea of what you’ll be hearing from him this year.
“Magic” by HOF feat. Vito.
I love when this happens.
Young Miami-based rapper HOF randomly emailed me on a Wednesday evening inviting me to check his first project, Magick out. I got to it a couple days later, and was blown away by the sound. This kid just comes out of nowhere with some familiar themes, but flips its in such a solemn, energetic yet reserved way that really blends well with the soft stringy melody in the background, peppered with a heavy bass rumble that brings it all together.
Keep this guy on your radar. We need more diverse flows like this in a world populated with A$AP Mob prospects, Meek Mill imposters, and everything in between.
So producer Just Blaze has been working on a house project. I wouldn’t really be all that excited, except I heard this track this morning. Great morning music, and I can’t wait to see what Justin has cooked up for dance floors. He put out one of the best beats of 2012, so this is quite the departure.
Downloaded the EP based on this track alone, only to find out that it doesn’t come out until tomorrow! Pretty great sequences going on in here, and who doesn’t love music about doing low-key-under-the-radar-never-know-what-hit-em type shit? Yeah.
“Teaser for the Low Key EP coming on Clubtapes.com mid-december!
