Sound From Another Room

These are some tracks you might get hyped on.

Blu is this cat one of my co-workers tuned me into. Pretty fresh. Like Talib, Roots, and early Common without being too derivative.

This is the Blue Scholars (no blue is not the theme). Anyway they hail from Seattle. Read about them a while ago, but better late than never right? Total 90’s underground hip-hop vibe. Reminds me of listening to music off of Napster in high school, when I first got into Pharcyde, Souls of Mischief, Jurassic 5, and Atmosphere. (they won’t let me embed it)

Finally Here is M83, who I admittedly, and embarrassingly, heard about via Hipsterunoff. Anyway, I am now totally crushing on the girl in this first video. Something about enigmatic awk quiet girls with bangs. The video looks they way 16 candles or Pretty in Pink would look if John Hughes wen to Film school now and listened to a lot of emo in high school in Florida, but moved onto Jesus and the Mary Chain once he moved to California. Is it just me or does the second song sound like the killers or vis a vis.
