Induce & Lloydski - My Place In Space

Here's a new track me and Lloyd did during WMC. We were on Salvia and just turned on the 909, MPC, VP-330, SH-101, and VC-10 and this happened during the 12 minute Salvia trip. Hence the tripped out, spaced out nature of the song. So go put this on and smoke something and look at colored lights or something.*

What Matters Most: Moving Images

I've recently been put on to a very exciting new Director & Cinematographer team going under the name What Matters Most. Kahlil Joseph (Director) and Matthew J. Lloyd (Cinematographer) have crafted two of the most beautiful new music videos I have seen in years. Not since Michel Gondry, Chris Cunningham, and the like ruled the world a few years back has watching music videos been this exciting (or maybe I just don't remember).

The first is the new video for Shafiq Husayn of Sa-Ra entitled "Cheeba," featuring Bilal and this video left me longing for the rest of the story. 5 Minutes isn't enough!

Their second video is the new Aloe Blacc single entitled "I Need A Dollar," which has been picked up to be used as the theme music for the opening credits of HBO's new show "How To Make It In America." Not only does the video excite me, but hearing Aloe's progression over the years makes me wonder how nice the future will sound. Soul music has returned!

Come Back!!!


I got to catch Questlove, of the legendary Roots crew do a "private" DJ set for about 25 people during Winter Music Conference. Amongst such bangers as Onyx's dark-as-death "Last Days" and unheard Dilla joints, he slipped in a track from the ever enigmatic D'Angelo that I had never heard before and I haven't stopped thinking about it since. It sounded like a Jay Dee joint, much like Voodoo, but even more Dilla-esque.

What's weird is that I had just been on a D'Angelo trip about 2 weeks prior where I found out about the latest leaked track entitled "1000 Deaths" and hearing Questo tease me with this new joint has only extended my obsession!

So until James River comes out (will it ever?), I will leave you with these gems.
