Putting That Work In :: “Looseys” By EVOLVE

While on tour with Moodie Black recently, I met a lot of good artists.  EVOLVE was one of those folks I had the pleasure of meeting, and watching him work has been downright inspiring.  Dude is constantly working on his art and his music.  Looseys, his latest project, just dropped.  Cop that, share that, and support local realness.

The Lonestar Shines Forever :: Tee Double Drops “Engineering An Empire”

My man Tee Double never stops working.  This cat has more albums than Grateful Dead… Sonic Youth… Miles Davis… and so on.  The latest one may just go down as an offical Austin classic.  The hometown kids will know what I’m talking about, because this album is like a parallel reality between today’s growth and the unity of the Austin hip-hop community during the mid-1990’s.

The beats bang throughout, the production is unique while still being accessible, and Tee brings the lyrical heat as always.  Job well done.

Stampede Of Sound :: Fat Beats And Anthony Maintain’s “The Elephant Race”

from the digital desk of Fat Beats:

Anthony Maintain comes to the label via Boston, MA.  He moved down to Austin a couple years ago and has been making his own special brand of twisted and dark music as one of the original performers at Austin’s Exploded Drawing.  An MC in his own right, this LP showcases his unreal soundscapes through his production, and invites you into a world of terror set to a kick and a snare.  Pure Original now out of Texas, he is and has been part of our extended family since the beginning.”

Purchase of this cassette gets you 13 original songs, plus a killer digital version containing an additional 13 remixes from Lo Phi, Soundfounder, Chief and TheDoomsdayDevice, Kinder and more.  Support good music.

Third Eye Vision :: “ThaRAPture” Is Announced By PeaCe

from the digital desk of PeaCe:

“Reason behind using 3’s instead of E’s in ThaRAPture Tracklisting:

Three:  The spiritual meaning of number Three deals with magic, intuition, fecundity, and advantage.  The number Three invokes expression, versatility, and pure joy of creativity.  Three is also a time identifier as it represents Past, Present and Future.  Consecutive Threes in your life may symbolize the need to express yourself creatively, or consider your present directional path in relation to past events and future goals.  Three may also represent promising new adventures, and assurance of cooperation from others whom you may require help.  Three typically symbolizes reward and success in most undertakings.”
