TOKiMONSTA – Cigarette Lust

We know a lot of you have never heard of TOKiMONSTA and it’s a damn shame (at least we’re letting you know though right?!). Being classically trained in Piano, she has come to understand how to use live instruments, percussion and digital manipulation, creating a very unique sound difficult to find any where else!

‘Cigarette Lust’ is on an LP called ‘Proximity One: Narrative of a City’ and is definitely one of our favourites from TOKiMONSTA.

Buy all of her albums from here. She also produced Mileena’s Theme in Mortal Kombat 9, which is a good sign. We hope to see more artists like TOKi getting featured in game OST’s.

Noisia & Mayhem ft. KRS One – Exodus (Official Video)

I know quite a few long time Ego Thieves fans have seen this one before, but it has to get posted for EgoThieves 4.0! This video literally gives us goose bumps every time we see it; the way the music is in time with the CG makes it one of the best music videos in the last 5 years! Also, KRS One…Do we need to say any more?

Noisia are doing big things, make sure you like them on Facebook (you can see the making of for the Exodus video!) and buy their albums here!

Machinedrum-Room(S)

Machinedrum – GBYE

Machinedrum have a very unique sound, in our opinion this is one of the best tracks this year: so unique and diverse, we can’t wait to hear more.

This track ‘GBYE’ is from their album, Room(S). The whole album is full of different sounds, it really is a joy to listen to. We’ll be keeping an eye out for any future releases from Machinedrum, make sure you are too…Easily done by coming back to Egothieves.com!

Super Shogun Stormtrooper

We only found out about Super7 today via Kid Robot’s Blog. Apparently Kidrobot LA have one of these 24-inch beasts in stock! It comes equipped with free rotating wheels on the bottom of it’s feet, and a  Rocket Punch firing fist. This guy could stand by your front door and scare people off with his authoritative stance and laser cannon…We love it!

Now we know about Super7, expect to see a lot more posted on here! They have some really interesting vinyl toys; very different to Kid Robot (which is always welcome!)

Check their store here!

Nujabes Tribute by Bob42jh

Almost 2 years have passed since we lost one of the most amazing and influencial artists of our generation, Nujabes.

Usually we wouldn’t post a YouTube video made by a random user (Bob42jh), but this is the best tribute to Nujabes in our opinion. It has some of his greatest tracks and really captures what his music is about.

It was a sad day when we lost Nujabes but he continues to live on through his music, especially here on Ego Thieves.

Buy his albums from here!

Mount Kimbie – Maybes (James Blake Remix)

We love Mount Kimbie…We love James Blake…A remix of Mount Kimbie’s ‘Maybes’ by James Blake  = Win. Seriously though, these are two amazing artists, everything they release is amazing and here at Egothieves, we are all about spreading good music! If we can get even 1 person to buy an EP from Mount Kimbie, we have accomplished our goal!

You will definitely, 100% see more of Mount Kimbie and James Black on Ego Thieves. If you want to listen to the orignal of Maybes, go here!

Also buy Mount Kimbie’s EPs here!

Punk Custom Mega MUNNY

Texas designer Paul Sirmon of Buzzbomb Creative, custom designed this Mega Munny keeping the spirit of Christmas in mind! Bearing the name Punk St. Nick, Sirmon was inspired by Santa as a teenager.

When you take a look at the photos you will notice many clever details, including numerous tattoos, a safety-pin earring, studded bracelets, plaid pants, sculpted boots, a wallet chain and light-up mohawk. I really wish we had more custom designers here in the UK!

Madlib – Flowers

Forgive us for posting another Madlib tune today, it had to be done. We actually can’t think of one tune we don’t like from Madlib, this one is called Flowers and it’s one of his more chilled tracks.

It’s difficult to find his albums as they are so rare, my advice if you find some available in hard copy: buy it!

Buy some of his albums from here.

Madlib – Pyramids

We thought we should post a tune from an artist signed Stones Record, seeing as how we just posted a MADVILLAIN x Kidrobot vinyl toy!

Madlib is probably one of the greatest artists we’ve ever heard, he has such a unique sound it’s difficult to pin his music to one genre. It’s a shame he’s still underground, his music has been pumping through our speakers for years and will continue to do so. Expect a lot more from Madlib here on Ego Thieves.

Buy his music from here.

MADVILLAIN x Kid Robot

Kidrobot London shows off the highly sought after and long sold-out MADVILLAIN. A Stones Throw and Kid Robot collaboration from 2007, it’s surprising there’s any of this rare piece left!

KRLDN has said they have one, although I doubt it’s still there, it’s probably sitting on Jenai’s window seal as we type this ! It stands at 10 inches tall and is a great addition to any vinyl toy collection.

Quartermaine Custom MUNNY

We were literally shocked when we saw pictures of this beast on Kid Robots Blog! Standing at 18 inches, Kalin Thompson applied acrylics using oil painting techniques – blending, layering and under painting to create this master piece. It took him just about 250 hours to complete and it shows when you look closer at the detail.

It recently went up on Ebay for $1000 AUS but was quickly bought by a Kid Robot fanatic! Hopefully one day we will have one of our own to show off!

Kalin Thompson also posted a time lapse video showing a small part of the process, you can view it here.

Aphex Twin – IZ US

It’s hard for us to define our taste in music, there are so many different genres and artists we love and Aphex Twin is definitely one of them. He is a pioneer of electronic music and always will be. The sounds we hear today in many different genre of music, is because of him.

He is a genius and it’s a sad day when anyone who loves music, has never heard his; which is the main reason for us posting this here! Also we think IZ US goes perfect with this video!
