A Public Service Announcement from Tonegents

But first... Afro. Disco. Boogie. Edits. Those four words in a row? That sounds like something I'd like to hear. Production duo Guynamukat are the dudes responsible. Can't get enough of this shit, yo. And good for me... homeboys are rather prolific. Be sure and check out that link...



Oh, and remember kids... stay in school.

I was hoping it was Kurt Russell in costume...

Never heard of this DJ Snake dude until I happened across this past Friday's BBC Essential Mix, which he, um... mixed. Turns out, not Kurt Russell. Just some French guy. Sigh. But apparently the guy was handpicked by Skream & Benga as one to watch. And if this fan-fucking-tastic remix of AlunaGeorge is any indication, those guys know what they're talkin' about...



Yeah, I might even prefer that to the original, which I quite dig. And I hope YOU dig the latest radio show. It's a way more atmospheric trip than the last few...

Kudos to Daft Punk for owning the Grammys, btw... ok, them and Pharrell's hat.

Gettin' his redneck on?

So how does a relatively unknown little jazz trio from Raliegh, NC get some shine from a high-falutin' musical publication as this one? Well, when you're The Hot At Nights, you get yourself a remix by the man like Nicolay is how. How did this hook-up take place? Well, because Nicolay lives in NC now, which, weird, but hey... whatever floats yer boat, dude. As long as you keep making amazing music, it's all good in whatever hood...



The new Foreign Exchange record is stupid good, by the way... and so is the new Shuffleupagus...

This post is not funny.

Kyodai is a pair of Spanish brothers who have been featured here at Tonegents in the past under their previous moniker, Wagon Cookin'. So they've been around making dope Deep House for a while... which is probably why they're quite good at it...



These guys don't have a full-length out yet, but you can grab the audio from this live Boiler Room set on Soundcloud...



... yeah, you're probably gonna want to do that. Aaaaaannnnd... that's it. Told you this post wasn't funny...

I think there's an ointment for that...

It's the blog that's just like a rash... just when you think it's gone, IT'S BACK AND IT BURNS! Just grabbed the debut full-length from British producer Swindle and I don't feel ripped off at all. SEE WHAT I DID THERE?!?! OOOOOOH, THEBURNINGMAKEITSTOP! Big Dubstep beats with a touch of, you guessed it, Jazz...



I first heard of this guy when he performed with the legendary Lonnie Liston Smith in this live Brownswood X Boiler Room set. Highly recommended.

Also returning for the New Year... Shuffleupagus Radio, the weekly show that has entertained literally tens of people in it's first three months. Dig the latest...

Let's see if I can beat last year's weak-ass post count. As you can see, I'm off to an amazing start...
