Boom. Finito. It's free, grab it! http://www.matthewafrica.blogspot.com/
Keys N Krates are a live remix outfit from the wilds of Canada. I have a hard time describing exactly what they do, so I'll try to keep it simple. A drummer, a keyboard player, and a DJ remix/remake your favorite songs. And, unfortunately, that doesn't do them justice. You HAVE to see them live. My brain melted against the back wall of Gruv in Austin the first time I saw them. I was literally blown away. All are incredibly skilled musicians, their selections are great, but, more than anything, people went apesh-t! Even if I wanted to, I couldn't deny that kind of power. Check their blog, download their new (free) EP of remixes, and see them live. You won't regret it.

Condolences to Hip Hop Connection, the longest running hip hop magazine. After 20+ years, they finally decided to call it quits. (It is not a good time to be in print media!) I started writing for them in 2005 & started collecting those pieces for a day just like this. (Truthfully, it was so my mom wouldn't think I was ONLY hanging out in clubs.) You can check out almost 4 years of rants, along with interviews with DJ Drama & A-Trak, plus the odd review here or there at http://www.djeleven.com/images/writing/hhccovers.htm
The good folks at www.NERDTORIOUS.com just put up a Public Enemy mini-mix I did years ago to go along with their recent Chuck D interview. Click here to read the words of wisdom & here to listen to the music.
