Here are a couple tracks I made over the summer:
A snippet of a remix of Mos Def’s Ms Fat Booty. Sampled John Frusciante’s Ramparts.

Remix of Lupe’s Kick, Push. Sampled John Mayer’s Slow Dancing in a Burning Room.

I love to see designers step out of their boundaries, for example: Audi Design designing this beautiful piano. The piano, entitled Wing, was built by Vienna-based Bosendorfer. The sleek form and lines are not surprisingly reminiscent of a car. More pictures and info can be found at autoevolution.

First good album of the summer.

Finally got a midi controller, stick around for some Team Stephen mixtapes…

The duo of DJ-producers, which consists of Squeak E. Clean and DJ Zegon, pits together artists from different genres and eras (see list [...]

If there’s one kind of cover I like best, it’s a hip hop cover performed by a non-hip-hop artist. This one’s just too cute. Lykke Li is hustlin’ everyday.

I was taking notes while listening to this album; I didn’t originally plan on posting them, but I figured they might help the review (the numbers correspond to tracks):
1 good
2 dancey
3 catchy
4 boring
5 good
6 good/catchy
