KING DOVES

Yesterday hit up the brand new Black & Blue Studios for a meeting of the minds with my Don’t Cry Recs family, Nick Hook and Tiombe Lockhart of Cubic Zirconia, the gawd-ess Jess Jubilee and the OG DPalumbo. Had a listening session of new Gas Galaxy tracks and the upcoming debut Cubic Zirconia LP. Margaritas and thangs ensued. As you can see the view is spectacular.

Nick Hook deep in the space pit. Trading plugins, beats banging, and picking prospects for new material….we went in.

This place is crawling with analog synths and drum machines i.e. heaven. This is home to a chosen few and the undeniable source of a lot of incredible music you will be hearing in the future for sure. very exciting shit. get into it.

Easily my favorite jam on the record.  Great visual.

Back at it…one of my favorite mix series’ via Burt Fox and Sonny Noir, straight out of NY. let it rock.

Preorder Camu‘s Album King of Hearts at Definitivejux.net

“Def Jux and Fat Possum proudly present Camu Tao’s albm, King of Hearts. Two years ago Tero “Camu Tao” Smith died after a grueling battle with cancer. He was a friend, a son, a brother, a groom to be and last but not least a brilliant producer, singer, rapper and entertainer. Words can not express the heartache that has been felt in the wake of his passing by those who loved and respected him.

This summer, on August 17th, Camu Tao’s first and final solo album KING OF HEARTS will be released by Definitive Jux in collaboration with Fat Possum Records. In conjunction with this release we will also be giving away (for free) the 2005 Central Services (Camu Tao and EL-P) ep Forever Frozen In Television Time. Download the FREE Central Services EP here.“

Todd Westphal; friend, tour manager, photographer, buddy maker, and heart shaped rock collector extraordinaire put up this picture the other day and I was into it. Figured if you didn’t know about TCW from all the pictures he’s taken through the years of CCWM you should put yourself on and visit his site. His photography is really the business.
