DC fashion line DURKL marches to the beat of a different drummer by comparison to the rest of the city. But they’re not about to change. Thery’re in the process of molding the city to meet them. Having existed for three years in relative anonymity, 2009 has been the year [...]
RECAP: ALL KILLER, NO FILLER!
Photos by Sexy Fitsum/iLLIMETER and Lady Glock/Lady Glock Photography. Please Support.
Words by Chris Kelly of True Genius Requires Insanity
When I first moved to Washington, I heard plenty about “the two DCs:” two disparate cultures, ostensibly with transient denizens of the Capitol Hill-K Street-Georgetown axis on one hand and native Washingtonians on the other. The separation [...]

PHOTOS: He Said, She Said at Palace Five
All Photos: Lady Glock and Danielle Scruggs
DC Hip-Hop with a live band at a skate shop? With Nuvo?
Yeah, the concept sounds surreal, however that didn’t deter Judah, Strange Music, and 368 Music Group (along with sponsorship by Fusicioclogy and The Couch Sessions) from dropping the He Said, She Said party on Friday night. Backed by [...]
Photos: Greenspan Mixtape Release Party, Baltimore, MD
Last Thursday, rising hip-hop star Greenspan celebrated the release of his mixtape When The Sky Turns Green at the Gap store in downtown Baltimore.

Summer Track: The Paxtons feat Ra The MC A.P. & Te’Luv – Just Tonight
The Paxtons – Just Tonight
So this track is over a week old, which in this new “blog” era is an eternity, so I guess you can say that I’ve been sleeping on this track.
Even though I complain that a lot of DC hip-hop (outside of the groundbreaking sounds of Wale and Tabi) sounds like it [...]

Most of y’all know that the Cakes and Kisses parties during the first week of April is the look. The party, thrown at Asylum, seamlessly throws together open mic hip-hop with cake. And you didn’t think those could go together did you?

Review: Gorillaz – Plastic Beach
If it takes us a few listens to really get into the Gorillaz newest album. Can we blame ourselves?
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 [...]
