GHOSTFUNK - Ghostface x Afrofunk - A new remix project by Max Tannone

Awesome news if you were as into Mos Dub and Dub Kweli as I was. Max Tannone the man behind all of that awesomeness has tackled Ghostface. And mixed him with African Funk. Haven't listened yet but I'lll be damned if this isn't as rad as it sounds.

Get it free here.

(Edit: Halfway through, so far it hasn't let down)

Marissa Nadler sings on Cloud Seeding debut out today

If you missed this Cloud Seeding release today, this is what you've missed: It's a single featuring Marissa Nadler and Cloud Seeding main man Kevin Serra. It's more than awesome. It's pure in its reining in of both honesty and hopelessness and yet polluted with its dark space-like, dreary, dream-like soundscape. This brilliant single will have you begging for a full length that can pull you up from its gorgeous despair.
