A while ago, I mentioned something about Tokimonsta and the fact she never performed in my city. Well, the boys from music blog Moovmnt were thinking the same. They invited this talented girl from the mighty Brainfeeder label to deejay in Bitterzoet this Sunday at a party called Bckwld. Meet Toki by listening to her The Attention Deficit Mixtape, reworking classic hiphop tracks. I’m giving away some guestlist for Buckwild. Just send me an email. No problem…

Today marks the release of Broken Bells. The debut album of indie band Broken Bells featuring artist–producer Danger Mouse and James Mercer, the lead vocalist and guitarist for the Portland indie rock band The Shins. We think it’s the best album of the year, so far. Above you can find the first live session by Pitchfork. A true must have. You can still listen to the complete album at 3VOOR12. Buy the debut at the iTunes Store. Festivals of summer, be ready.

Daniel from one of my favorite Parisian labels Record Makers sent me a special 10th anniversary gift. Their free to download Record Makers iPhone App, conceived by French contemporary artists Mrzyk & Moriceau, provides the user with a surrealistic visual game, an exquisite corpse in the vein of French surrealism. With one finger, you can create your own sounds and images, and with the right combination you win a stay in the fancy Hotel Amour a Paris. Check this video, to see how it works. They also released a special 10th anniversary compilation you can find in the iTunes Store, including some essential tracks by Sébastien Tellier.

Taz Arnold is one the forces behind supadupa hiphop group Sa-Ra Creative Partners. He’s got that unique and innovative approach in music, but is also one of the most creative people in fashion. That guy really knows what to wear. TI$A Vi$ion is his latest project. A brand that combines mediums of art, design and fashion. For a better impression of Ti$a, check out their grammy party at LeMirrors above, featuring Kid Cudi, Kelis and Taz himself. And wait, are those new, exciting beats by Sa-Ra?

This is something special. Gonjasufi is a new artist on the infamous warp label, produced by Flying Lotus, Gaslamp Killer and Mainframe. His heavily endorsed debut A Sufi and a Killer came out last week. And yes, you need to buy it.
”Gonjasufi is timeless incredible filth” - Flying Lotus
Gonjasufi is a self proclaimed mystical individual caught between the Mojave desert, the LA streets and somewhere more cosmic. A Sufi and a Killer contains some great soul-baring vocals and fine production. After the jump I’ll host some tracks, including the first single Ancestors – produced by FlyLo, with a Madlib sound.

If it’s a FS beat, it’s good. FS Green, a talented producer from Amsterdam, just finished a new album together with rapper Önder entitled De Kassier, with lots of exciting soulful beats on it. For music blog Yes Yes Yall the man picked his twenty favorite tracks of last year. The Track of the Day Mix features songs ranging from soul to beats, dubstep, rock, hiphop and everything in between. Nice to see Nosaj Thing and Four Tet on the tracklist.

‘Over’ reminds me of that one party you can’t remember the next day. But trust me, you will remember this song. The hook is crazy.
“I know way too many people here right now, that I didn’t know last year. Who the fuck are y’all? - Drake (Over, 2010)”
It’s the official single off Drake’s much-anticipated debut album Thank Me Later which is set to release March 30th. We’re already calling it Drake day. After the jump, I’ll host the track plus this great Nosaj Thing remix that’s in my head all weekend.
