Flying Lotus – Ten Years A Decade

I can’t get enough of Flying Lotus, seriously. Since Dilla have i not been so clung to instrumentals. Well he recently posted up this free mix for you all to download marking his achievement of making music for ten years now. This mix is simply called Decade and is mixed by Gaslamp Killer. I downloaded this myself yest and already listened to it well over 10 times. For all my experimental and Hip Hop heads this is an absolute must.

Make sure you all grab Flying Lotus album Cosmogramma out April 20th on Warp Records.

DJ IQ – Christmas Lights [Exclusive]

An Exclusive mix from my boy DJ IQ for this festive season, Christmas Lights. Its all the cuts that didn’t make the final version of Flashing Lights CD you can nab here or watch the ad for it which we posted a few weeks back. Its well worth the purchase just like this mix is well worth the download! Don’t expect any jingling bells or Ho Ho Ho’s, but do expect some Hudson Mohawke, Ludacris, Starky and much more. A perfect blend of Electronica, Hip Hop and abstract beats you will love but won’t be able to categorize which is exactly why this is our official Christmas present to you all.

DJ Cable x Rock The Dub – Fuck Thugstep! Vol 1

Ego Thieves teamed up with our boy DJ Cable (click for his other mixes) and Rock The Dub to bring you something new and forever controversial. Thugstep is real, its here to stay and it can Fuck Right Off! With Dubstep/Grime/Hip Hop hybrid exclusives from the likes of Boy Better Know, Tempa T, Inja, Skinny Man, Dem Franchise Boyz and exclusive DJ Nappy refixes this is another must download. Dare to try something different. If you like your bass hard and your lyrics gully then look no further. Next year I’m sure there will be some more hybrid tunes to hit the scene, whether you love it or hate it there’s nothing you can do to escape it. This isn’t about Dubstep, its about getting nasty in the club.

Dat Kid From Cleveland

A bit late on this one and only really posting up for all my Kid Cudi fans in case you missed it. Dat Kid From Cleveland is a brand new mixtape from DJ E-V and Datnewcudi.com full of lots of exclusives and unreleased goodies. Well worth a listen if your a fan, and if your not have a listen anyway you might just see what all the hype is about. His debut album ‘Man On The Moon’ is only round the corner I’m told…!

Cool Kids – Gone Fishing

Now i nearly forgot to post this up! Its been a mad busy week with us here at Thieves headquarters and next week should bring some nice updates for you and the month of June to come. In the mean time, this is classic Cool Kids. Sharp lyrics, low flows and lots of hard kicks and simple snares. Im a fan it must be said, event if its now not quite cool to be? Ironic huh. At least it isnt Charles Hamilton bless him….

Intelligent Hoodlum Vol Two – Love Dilla

Are you an Intelligent Hoodlum? What is an Intelligent Hoodlum? Well… its an individual who unlike many of the new artists around, (to mention a few such as Soulja Boy, lil Hurricane and even up and coming Charles Hamilton) appreciate and honor the past to create and evolve the future. Too many of the new generation of producers and artists these days in most genres but especially Hip Hop do not do their history and bow down to the creators of the very genre itself. You cant become a Doctor, Scientist, Director or Pilot for example without doing your history so why is music different and why does this new generation feel they can put down and slew their predecessors?

Intelligent Hoodlum Vol One

Another Ego Thieves home grown exclusive compiled by myself Jenai. We feel here that allot of new music has lost its way, gotten confused and to be more blunt… uneducated. We created this podcast series to try to solve this problem and educate the masses in the art of  . Whether it be Hip Hop or Electro Pop we plan to open your mind and introduce you to the many instrumentals you don’t know about or simply forgotten. This month we delve into the vaults of classic Hip Hop in a long series of Hip Hop volumes.
