Xaphoon you crazy...

I know I already mentioned this, but the Xaphoon Jones Mixtape Vol. 1 has been released for free, and, well, it's pretty much amazing. Fittingly, you can download your own copy below.

Xaphoon Jones Vol. 1

And if you don't know, now you know.

Chiddy Bang is a group just starting to make a name for themselves, but boy are they doing it quick. Based out of Philladelphia, this group is comprised of 4 college students, but they way they're making music right now, college might become little more than an afterthought. Usually when you remix music that's already great, the project ends in disappointment. So far, Chiddy Bang has remixed tracks by MGMT, Passion Pit, and even Radiohead; all with great success. On September 1st, PMA is hosting the release of the Xaphoon Jones Mixtape Vol. 1. Xaphoon is the producer/beat-maker for Chiddy Bang, so get ready for his first, and FREE mixtape. Until then, enjoy what they've released so far.

In4mation Fall 2009

As long as we're on the subject of Hawaii, keep an eye out for the fall '09 release for In4mation. You can check the look book featured on their website. In4mants are looking good as usual.

Soak in some Hawaii with the Oof! EP

The Seattle based hip hop duo Blue Scholars - who recently signed a record deal with Duck Down Records - have released their highly anticipated EP Oof! and this is something you definitely don't want to miss. Inspired by Hawaii, (where the emcee Geologic is from) the EP is filled with vacation grooves, made for summer time get togethers. Better yet, it includes all the instrumentals to the 6 tracks so you can freestyle over the beat yourself. Just when you think you have Blue Scholars sound nailed down they hit you with something that sounds completely new and unique. The lead single HI 808 has been ranked #1 for over a week now, so go soak up some warmth and give Oof! a spin.
