• FILE UNDER::avant-electro-jazz. Wanna compare? Welll.....okay: Jazzanova meets John Zorn meets the Cinematic Orchestra meets the Christian McBride Band meets your mama. No, this isn’t for everyone, but for those that it is for, they will want no more. No words, all music (which consequently creates infinite words from an alien language that sounds strangely familiar) Mature. Like a fine wine. This is the late night hang, the post-party, party-in-a-box that takes you from the darkest hours to the promise of a new day. Oh say....can you see? Or better yet....can you hear? It’s all there – thumping upright acoustic bass, skat-a-tat-tat drummer who is two steps ahead (or is it behind?) of all time, keyboards and horns. Oh, it’s a jazz band, but wait, it’s a DJ spinning magic. You know the deal in 2008 everything is real. This one sweeps and swoons, leaving you dancing under the moon. But don’t sleep, every step is a new adventure, excitement lurks behind every beat. Isn’t that neat?


  • Kicksville is new and fresh and clean and pure and NEW AND FRESH.
    How do you describe a band anymore in this day and age of over-hype, mega-links
    And blogs, blogs, blogs, I mean, there’s music coming out of every corner of your world these days and you still haven’t heard anything that knocked you off your ass…..for better or worse……until kicksville. That’s how I see it, that’s how I heard it. that’s why I signed it. that’s how they dined it.


  • FILE UNDER::hip-hop that bounces beyond genre and straight into that elusive next level. Thumping bass lines laced with scratches, raw vocals and bliss. A surprise lurks behind every beat; a twist, a turn and what have you learned? That Yameen is the next generation of hip-hop pioneers.


  • FILE UNDER::classic 60s blue note groove for a new generation of jazz-heads. No this isn’t your father’s jazz, but it’s not your brothers either! Hand picked and produced by long time MMW producer Scotty Hard Rabnett 5 comes alive straight from Western Canada – where they have won every imaginable award and played every possible gig. As refreshing as that cold mountain water, Rabnett 5 will glide into your music collection and quickly earn “most played” status.


  • this is instrumental (ish) beat driven blasts of hip-hop extascy. if madlib met j-dilla and had a baby, it might just be y?arcka.
    these is tracks you can flow to, grow to, and row to.
