Intua: Beatmaker
I was up early inline for a 16 gig iPhone this morning. Problem was in my hillbilly town they only had 8 in stock. So back to looking at them online. Found this, looks good... if its not vapourware? Fingers Crossed.
BeatMaker introduces a new generation of mobile instruments and music creation software. Inspired by hardware beatboxes, loop samplers and software sequencers, it combines them to turn the iPod into a unique, inspirational software instrument.
Al Green - Lay It Down
Unlimited credits are in the offing for whoever brought the majestic Al Green together with producers ?uestlove and James Poyser. Green’s new album, ‘Lay It Down’, is the best cut of soul you’re likely to hear all year. With guest spots featuring Anthony Hamilton and John Legend this is one very modern album and an absolutely essential addition to your Al Green collection.
What Does It All Mean? • Steinski's 1983-2006 Retrospective
.
The ironies a lullaby:
Once Ad-Man pen turned Hip-Hop Jazzmaster, Steven Stein - "Steinski" releases a smart, much anticipated retrospective. Any/all cred is well-deserved.
The rest is on the record. Somehow, I'm sure you'll thank me for my brevity.
Reggaeton Round Up, Part 2: ¡Cumbia Tranzas Güey!
This round up we gwan mainstream cumbia-techno-rave-trance-synth-reggaeton. Like I said before, my Nigga from Panama is featured on a ravy cumbiaton track of the new A.B. Quintanilla project, Kumbia All Stars.

The Window is Open, the Sun is Out
Grant from Zizek has sent me this hot new cumbia mixtape from El Hijo de la Cumbia featuring loads of fresh Argentinian psychedelic beats for lying in the park, sun in your eyes. Its very good.
Reggaeton Round Up, Part 1: Puro Plena
A few months ago a friend emailed me pointing out the name of the popular latin artist Nigga. After doing some poking around on the net I discovered that Nigga is Panamanian and got his name because someone said he sings like a Jamaican. Probably in a move not un-similar to the Nas album name decision, his name was changed to DJ Flex, for the U.S. market, in fear of offending the United Stateseans (and not Jamaicans?!)I've been hearing a lot of DJ Flex on the radio, with his hit "Te Quiero" and his collaboration with Los Kumbia Allstars "Por Ti Baby" (which is a quite ravey-sounding Cumbia that I'll post later.) Plus, whenever I hear "Panama!" or someone sing "Panama Music" my ears perk up, so I've been watching for this dude.
