"staying on top of music that isn't rap or dance music related." Re: Cosmo

As an aid to rap dudes/working deejays who sometimes miss new non-dance tunes, I figured a thread that compiles some new-ish releases would be cool.





Timber Timbre - "Lay Down In the Tall Grass". Off their S/T. Really mellow album. I actually heard it for the first time while getting my most recent tattoo late last semester, the artist had it going on his iPod. "Perfect music to ink to" is how he described it.

    Cool idea for a thread, dude. Much appreciated. I'll try to contibute as well, and ultimitely will show how behind I am.

    Here's a cool rendition of "While You Wait For The Others" by Grizzly Bear where they had Michael Mcdonald sing lead.



    These girls are from Japan and are signed to our own Nick Catchdubs' label, doing a rendition of Miike Snow.



    Kind of old now but here's the Ronson remix of the same song. It's great.



    This is just some shit that I dig for real.

    That's dope, Herm.

    This is my friend Alex, Chris and Ryan's new group Win Win. And you might think it's kind of dance-music ish and it is but it's really not, and the album has some incredible shit on it. I'm more excited about this album release this year than anything else so far. Just a teaser online though... This is the jawn with the girl from Gang Gand Dance on it.



    More friends of mine. This shit is pretty hard. Maybe not for everyone but I dig the shit out of it.

    I'm glad to hear that they have a solid live show; I'm trying to see them next time they tour through. Here's another couple I learned from KCRW ...

    i like destroyer & ariel pink. the more indie sounds like 'avalon' & steely dan the more im feeling it

    also, the new cut copy is on some album of the year shit. but i guess thats kind of 'dance'

    Cosign on Warpaint, been enjoying them recently. Can't embed from the phone I don't think so have to just link through to a video for Twin Shadow who I've been enjoying the throwback sounds of for a while.
