MIXTAPE: DJ Underdog – Africa Plays On

Download: DJ Underdog – Africa Plays On
If you don’t know, the monthly Afrobeat party BLACK Light Special put on by my homegirl every last Friday in DC is the LOOK. The party, which combines African rhythums with some Latin and Brasilain on the side, is one of the best times I’ve had in DC in a while and has grown exponentially. The key to the outing, however, is DJ Underdog, a vernable DC name, who leaves the Serato and iPods at home in favor of spinning old school vinyl.
Africa Plays On, the new mixtape from Underdog tries to contain the hotness of this night into one mixtape. It’s a real good look and thankfully part of a monthly series.

We are forced fed music that is derivative of another. Pop music all sounds the same, with each artist essentially sounding like the one who came 3 months before them. When we hear something as creative and [...]
ALBUM REVIEW: Outputmessage – Autonomous
Washington, DC by way of Queens, NY electronic dance music producer Outputmessage is likely one of the more underrated EDM artists in the genre. The eight year veteran has received terrific acclaim both stateside and abroad for his musically dense but pop trending melodies awakening a sense of early 80s synth pop sounds. However, with [...]
Album Review: Sade – Soldier of Love
While not a masterpiece, in an era where the market has been deluged by a new female soul vanguard that angles increasingly towards pop, Sade remains regal, calm, collected and steadfast, and merely releases the standard bearer album to define the female expression in R & B for 2010.
Sade’s musical legacy lies in her ability [...]
ALBUM REVIEW:Massive Attack “Heligoland”
Massive Attack – Paradise Circus
[Audio clip: view full post to listen]
Tomorrow marks the official release date (U.S. and Canada) for Heligoland, the 5th proper studio album by Massive Attack.
Whereas the 2003 release 100th Window glistened with mechanical accuracy and disciplined minimal techno, Heligoland finds the Bristol duo returning to the dirtier, dubbed out sound of [...]
