They absolutely destroy it. Once again, KUNVUK brings their own brand of insanity and chaos to the music video of "Teeth Swallower", recently released through the band's Youtube account. This one will surely be a delight for any metal fan.

Staying true to their style, KUNVUK delivers 6 minutes of pure anarchy. Reminiscent of a low-budget slasher film, the video features ominous shots of alleyways, basements, and abandoned garages. The cinematography is shaky and constantly responds to the hard-hitting bits of the song. "Teeth Swallower" is like a highlight reel of horror movies, with shots of water torture, hooded figures, and lots and lots of running interspersed with shots of the band rocking out. One of the most memorable images is a close-up of the lead singer's bearded mouth Bombarded with images, the audience cannot help but feel pulled in.

As we go deeper and deeper into the band's psychotic world, we also close in on the song's climax, a breakdown in which the lead singer's rant in an almost poetic fashion. At this pivotal moment, the chaos dies down a little and we are led to a roof where a sole figure is sitting. When the lead singer moves in, he realizes the figure is himself, and the chaos returns.

With a surprising amount of effort and passion placed into the film, "Teeth Swallower" is any metal fan's dream. Be prepared to be gunned down by six minutes of mayhem.

NEW GEAR:

Content (L)abel - Traditional Logo T-Shirts
http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/?a...nt+%28L%29abel
Content (L)abel is Dday One's Los Angeles project-based label. As the
logo illustrates, over the years various elements have combined to
produce works that contribute to the lineage of sample-based music.
Black or white shirt in M, L or XL. 100% cotton, pre-shrunk
heavyweight tee. Inner label (no tag) reads "quality over quantity"
and that's the truth.

Pres One x SerMinded - T-Shirts
http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/?a...ne+x+Serminded
Highly respected San Diego graf artist Pres One designed this crazy
new shirt for Livindead Records member SerMinded. The design is too
dope to explain it all. I can't give it justice. It only comes in
Large and we have Black and White. Comes with a free Steady Minded CD.

Substance Abuse - T-Shirts
http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/?a...ubstance+Abuse
Got a couple new shirts from the L.A. hip hop tandem Substance Abuse.
The white shirt has a nice graf piece on the front and comes in L,
XL, and XXL. The gray tee with Substance Abuse tagged on the front
comes in L and XXL.


NEW MAGAZINE:

Mass Appeal Magazine #52
http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/?itemid=23246
Yes, Mass Appeal is back! Five years after the last issue, #52 of
the Brooklyn based magazine is finally here, thanks to support and
leadership from Nas and Decon. Earl Sweatshirt and Blake Anderson
are featured on the cover, and inside are also featured the A$AP Mob
Family, Tyler, The Creator on Pharrell, Action Bronson, graff and
much more.


FEATURED ITEMS OF THE WEEK:

Qwel & Maker - Beautiful Raw CD
http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/?itemid=22910
Beautiful Raw is the Chi town duo's 4th release and it's just as
intricate and amazing as their past 3 albums. We have been bumpin
and lovin this here at Access. Anybody could shine on these amazing
beats, but Qwel just has those rhythms, hooks, and a sick voice that
make this team one of the best to do it! This album is about many
things but mainly hope. There are so many songs that grab you and
"Though The Sidewalk" featuring Wes Restless is no exception. I love
the different vibe Maker added with the upbeat guitar sample. This
is one of those albums I would recommend to all the heads!

D33j - Tide Songs Cassette
http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/?itemid=23264
If you love plush mellow beats that make your head nod, San
Francisco's 22-year-old D33j has just what you are looking for! He
went to high school with emerging talents Baths, Groundislava, and
OFWGKTA's Syd the Kid, where he studied guitar and electronic music.
He puts his skills to work on this debut 5 song EP available via
Anticon with my favorite track being "Park". The track has a
lighthearted vibe but is serious enough to freestyle to. I turned
the tape over and found another beautiful electronic tune by the
name of "Reever's Edge". You will love yourself for purchasing this
one! I already grabbed mine!


NEW RELEASES:

Mitchy Slick and DJ Fresh - Feet Match the Paint CD
http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/?itemid=23114
Mitchy Slick, one-third of acclaimed group Strong Arm Steady, is
back with his new solo effort, Feet Match the Paint. Produced
entirely by DJ Fresh. In addition to rhymes from Slick, Feet Match
the Paint features guest vocals from KRNDN and Phil the Agony (of
SAS), MURS, Planet Asia and many more. This is classic west coast
music. One of the coolest tracks is a smooth one by the name of
"Put On a Show (Tonight) -- Murs kills it on his verse.

Barns (DS of Famous Playaz) - Undastandably Son CD
http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/?itemid=23306
The new album off Noah 23's label, Plague Language, from Famous
Playaz producer/rapper DS aka Barns is a nice one! This album is
packed with raw rhymes over hard drums and crazy beats! "Cold
Weather Back" is a track that has both of those. Don't sleep on this
album or any other Famous Playaz albums!

Big Shawn (Bored Stiff) - Mongol Soul CD
http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/?itemid=23206
This beat tape has been longed for and is finally here. Bored
Stiff's producer Big Shawn drops a crazy album completely crafted
from traditional Mongolian music. This is the first attempt at such
a feat and I love it. I equate to something like Madlib's Beat
Konducta v.3-4 India album. Lots of Dope Mongolian samples and easy
beats to let loose to.

Big Shawn (Bored Stiff) - The Lesson CD
http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/?itemid=23204
From Legendary Entertainment, out comes a nice beat tape to spit
some bars to. I like the boom bap feel and the subtle changes in the
beats which makes for a very good album to freestyle to. Peep out
the track "Rolling Along"! The song feels like you are floating in a
boat on a sunny day.

Brand Nubian - One for All (re-issue) 2xLP
http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/?itemid=7678
When this bad boy was released at the end of the 90's, the
politically charged and socially conscious material by the super
talented and creative hip hop group brought acclaim, both critically
and commercially. The Source gave it 5 stars, saying it "overflows
with creativity, originality, and straight-up talent." Long out of
print on wzx, this fresh pressing of one of hip hop's most crucial
releases captures a moment in time in the grooves of a double vinyl
pressing.

Cook Classics - Cook Classics v Now-Again CD
http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/?itemid=23224
Following the release of Maker Vs. Now-Again 2, Now-Again presents
its first library offering from the producer Cook Classics, aka
CookBook of L.A. Symphony. Los Angeles-based Cook Classics has been
making beats for a while and this series of songs combine live
instrumentation, modern and vintage synths, programmed beats and
live drums. Check the bass heavy track "Dig The Streets" and you
will love it. It feels like MF Doom should have come on and rhymed
on it. There are other mellow, jazzy tracks that will put you on a
cerebral head trip like "Home is Where The Heart Is".
This limited edition is CD is packaged in a mini-LP thick cardboard
tip-on sleeve and is available in limited quantities. Once they're
gone, they're gone.

Eric Lau - Makin' Sound CD
http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/?itemid=23180
Eric Lau's release is a collection of instrumentals that Eric Lau
describes as his producer's sketch book, so to speak. All of the
instrumentals he says have a different style. Very fantastic beats!
CD imported from Japan. Sealed with obi.

G&D (Georgia & Dudley) - Popstopper 7"
http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/?itemid=23185
This is the lead single from G&D's forthcoming album, The Lighthouse
and a heartfelt ode to moms which I think is a reprise of "Dear
Moma" called "Muthadear". The horns, keys, and lyrics will bring
tears of joy. On the lead single they are dabbling in the funk and
the song is awesome. It is a hip-hop bass filled anthem that will
realign your mind once the chorus hits! This one is on the must cop
list of 45's for sure! ]]> Music Discussion Xakt_One http://www.accesshiphop.com/forums/showthread.php?t=40297 <![CDATA[DJ L-Nize ft Qwote 'Blowin My Mind']]> http://www.accesshiphop.com/forums/showthread.php?t=40296&goto=newpost Sun, 19 May 2013 20:10:42 GMT Up-and-coming Producer/Dj L-Nize teams up with Miami's chart-topping R&B/Dance artist Qwote for the house/electro anthem "Blowin My Mind". Dedicated to all the mind-blowing ladies on the dancefloor, the energetic hook of the song invites you to sing along. The mixture of L-Nize' cutting- edge production combined with Qwote's unique vocal range makes "Blowin My Mind" one of the freshest club releases of summer 2013. Qwote is best known for his hit single "Throw your hands up" ft. Pitbull & Lucenzo (Ultra Music) which entered the UK single charts at Nr. 13.

"Blowin My Mind" is the first release on L-Nize' newly founded boutique label Veyron Entertainment, based near Frankfurt/Germany. Veyron Entertainment focuses on worldwide single releases in the dance genre, however what makes the label stand out from its peers is that only the world's best voices are featured on Veyron Entertainment releases.

A perfect follow-up to Lynne's hit "Sugar Lake","Turn To Stone" was originally recorded as an album track and released to a limited number of stations. It has now been re-mixed and re-mastered as a single. "Turn To Stone", in a departure from the more traditional one-instrument solo, features harmonica, percussion, and fiddle in a series of mini-solos.
The album version is already on radio across New Zealand on the New Zealand Country Music Network (TLC). "Turn To Stone" hit #8 on the EU/UK charts.
