The homie Kinder is the illest kid doing it right now. Not since Pete Rock have a heard so many dope beats used so sparsely… what he considers throwaways, most would consider gold. Need proof?

The one and only, extraordinary beatsmith known as Kinder has joined Lo Phi and Chief and TheDoomsdayDevice in the exclusive ranks of the Gilded Alliance. The brainchild of Glory Gold & Glitter creator Michael Scheel, the series is a chance for each producer to create a unique project, and for a piece of artwork to be created specifically for the project. Volume 3 is definitely keeping the quality bar high both visually and musically… check it out for yourselves:

The pool area has a stage and some BBQ pits as well. The 2nd stage will be on the other side of the building, in a roped off parking lot. The volleyball court becomes our graffiti exhibition area.

Last Sunday’s Megapix Closing show was a fun, successful event. Lot’s of new friends made, lots of old friends took part. Here are some highlights:

The other night, I played a show at Wake The Dead Coffee House (SMTX). The usual suspects were there, but there was one cat I’d never seen around before. He told me that others told him we should meet, and we had a fast paced conversation about lots of cool music. Then he left me sitting with his laptop, and he asked me to listen to his music.
Now, I’m asking you to listen to his music. It’s dope. If you’re a fan of Flying Lotus, Boards of Canada, Yppah, Samiyam, or any number of new artists breaking ground in what I would refer to as digital jazz, then you will be into Kinder.
