As end of year lists are continuing to come together, I decided to bring back the No Words Allowed theme that Dom & I explored all the way back on Episode 15. To that end, enjoy 2 hours of instrumental music spanning vibey guitar-driven gems, weirdo experimental electronic, smooth hip-hop beats and left-field house. – ash

[Hip-Hop] Mike G – Burton

Mike G
Burton

Mike G is celebrating the holiday season in his own way with an homage to the great creative Tim Burton. Not only is the single a tribute, but it’s a launching point for Mike’s upcoming project Exile that will be coming in 2019.

“Burton” as you would imagine, is a dark, brooding single. From the start the instrumental sets the tone and Mike comes in with his cool, collected rhymes. We’ve been jamming out to this one on repeat for a while as its dreamy nature lends itself to much replay-ability. Enjoy this one and stay tuned for more content from Mike G before the end of the year is out.

[Hip-Hop] JDP – Get U Some

JDP
Get U Some

Member of the production group Swim Team, JDP presents the anthem to your Friday night, his latest single ‘Get U Some,’ off his forthcoming album ‘Where Were You When,’ so go ahead and get you some.

Referencing the late great Gil Scott Heron’s “the revolution will not be televised,” JDP is out to start a revolution, and it starts by getting you moving.

He shares: “Gil Scott-Heron’s “The Revolution Will Not Be Televised” is so impactful that even if people don’t know the man, they know the phrase. In the hook I’m saying “the revolution is on the floor, not televised, and when your bodies in my hand, it never lies.” Because sometimes people only give themselves permission to let go and find some freedom on the dancefloor.”

Stream JDP “Get U Some” below, and keep your ears out for the album.

As the name suggests, this week’s episode is largely a celebration of Oxnard, Anderson .Paak‘s long-awaited major label debut. Before we get into that, though, we had a laid back collection of tracks. Highlights included the dreamy stylings of Launder, a new sound from Little Dragon and a low-key gem from wifisfuneral. The remainder of the show focuses on Anderson .Paak’s catalogue dating back to his days as Breezy Lovejoy–including remixes, features and original music from the newly minted superstar. Happy Thanksgiving!

[Hip-Hop] 11 LIT3S – KING KAIS PLANET

KING KAIS PLANET

Portuguese born singer and producer, 11 LIT3S releases his latest single ‘KING KAIS PLANET,’ debuted on XO Collective’s new division, XO Urban. The Portuguese talent’s music includes catchy hooks layered over trap-style beats mixed with hard hitting punchlines. This latest single is a track you won’t stop bumpin’.  Read below the inspiration behind the single, and press play.

‘KING KAIS PLANET was inspired by an apartment with an amazing view of Los Angeles and a very lasting experience I was having with a girl I was seeing at the time. The name King Kai’s planet was taken actually from Dragon Ball Z. KKP was a planet in which the characters would go to to train and recharge their energies. I want to create a parallel between this fictional and non fictional reality as in this LA apartment helicopters would  literally fly below us because we were so high.’
