We couldn't let these slip by without posting. FlyLo, HudMo, PauLo and Kendrick.
We're always excited by any LuckyMe news so when When Mary Anne Hobbs announced that a new band had been added to the family our ears instantly pricked up more than Spock's pet corgi. The track she unleashed from American Men ran like a 4 minute HudMo meets Sigur Rós build up / break down that takes you everywhere and nowhere at the same time. They have dubbed the sound 'Miami Lazer Rock' and here's a copy of the tune courtesy of FACT, as well as a remix of their track AM System by fellow LM sibling Mike Slott (via XLR8R).

From what we can work out it seems Ralph Rip S**t went straight from bugging about the Hudson Mohawke track Rising 5 at Monkey's yard, into the studio and came out with this killer unofficial dub that makes it sound like the beat was made especially for him.

Told you we'd post up some more Elucid after he sent us a killer Kode 9 remix of his forthcoming EP. This album is from last year but as we missed it then and it's still fresh to death, infact in hindsight it's one of the best albums of 2008. Grounded in Hip-hop but never staying grounded for long as it takes technological trips all over the place with the help of guest production spots from the likes of Hudson Mohawke on the Psy-Crunk of Mannequin (Dead Fresh), Aeon with a driving off kilter Jazzed out beat on Automatic Writing, and Suhburb who adds a Dubstep flavour to his remix of Code For The Streets. Here's a few choice Chrome cuts but it's definitely worth grabbing the whole thing and giving it a proper listen.
