We were recently just hip up via email about a roots reggae label out of Munich, Germany called Oneness Records. They are releasing a new riddim selection called “General Key”. Here is a little sample. Enjoy.

Dub be good to me: Subscape

May 7, 2008 | Leave a Comment

Here in the lab we love all type of new music, but we have been feeling the dubstep sound thanks to my man Marcus from RadioMilwaukee. Cats like Skream and Benga are bringing the dubstep sound from the UK to stateside; however, there is another cat by the name of Subscape formerly Swerve that is creating some mesmerizing sh!t. Big ups to Fly Music for enlightening us on to him. Check out this tune Badman. I must have played it a least 6 times before I started to write this.

Under the Scope: Kings Go Forth

May 7, 2008 | 1 Comment

No I am not talking about the 1958 movie starring Frank Sinatra. The Kings Go Forth I am talking about is a Milwaukee based funk band that could definitely give the Dap-Kings a run for their money. It is a nine piece band with three vocalists.

The band consist of vocalists Danny Fernandez, Matt Norberg and Black Wolf (Bilal); Bass- Andy Noble; Guitar- Dan Flynn; Drums - Jeremy Kuzniar; Trombone - Dave Cusma; Trumpet and Jed Keyboards - Dave Wake.

They recently dropped a 45 (which is sold out). Damn, I was sleeping. But I did get a couple of tracks in digital form. Just check it out for yourself. This is some raw and gritty funk for your head and your a$$. Miltown is killing it!
