Here's a banger for all the Fellowship/Project Blowed fans. Acey comes tight with the master Elusive producing yet another West Coast classic. Re-issued by Decon in 2010. http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/19002 info@accesshiphop.com First single from Aloe Blacc's next album, "Good Things", produced entirely by Truth & Soul and backed by El Michels Affair. http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/19028 info@accesshiphop.com Remember the early days of hip-hop, when b-boys and girls rocked the planet over electro grooves and space was the place to be? Amp Live does. The Bay Area-based producer, best known for his work with Zion-I, boldly ventures back to the genre's Afrofuturist roots on his new solo album, Murder at the Discotech. Like Marty McFly with an MPC and a DeLorean on 22s, Amp Live brings the perfect beat back in the name of science, elevating hip-hop out of its creative doldrums and restoring innovation to the genre. Murder at the Discotech revisits the interstellar aural landscapes of seminal inspirations like Kraftwerk, Jonzun Crew, Soulsonic Force, Gary Numan, Mantronix and ManParrish, yet updates the electrofunk template with contributions from some of the West Coast hip-hop underground's freshest talent. "The album represents my take on electronic music at the moment," says Amp Live. "Electronic bass and melody with knock is what I wanted to express. Nothing too complicated, just bangin' tracks." Three years in the making, Amp says Murder at the Discotech is aimed at both Zion-I fans "and new ones, if they want to come along." The album wears its 80s influences on its cybernetic sleeve, yet it's more than just retro-futuristic nostalgia. This is the next generation of electrofunk; Amp Live is the man-machine with a (mostly) human soul, rocking the dancefloor at warp speed and setting his photon torpedoes to funkitize entire galaxies. http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/18260 info@accesshiphop.com The Unholy Terror is a return to form for true Jedi Mind Tricks and Army Of The Pharaohs fanatics. AOTP, the ever-evolving crew of Hip Hop's heaviest hitters, is the culmination of a vision devised by Jedi Mind Tricks' frontman Vinnie Paz. Initiated over twelve years ago, AOTP is a reflection of the volatile MC's staunch belief in the tradition of Hip hop's most sacred tenets and aesthetics. Individually the styles of the Pharaohs compliment each other, ranging from strictly lyrical to bloodthirsty battle rhymes, all fused within a construct based on energy and sonic power. "The Unholy Terror," delivers the same disemboweling brand of hard-core boom-bap and battle rhyming that this veteran crew is known for: grimy beats and raw rhymes. http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/18793 info@accesshiphop.com http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/18866 info@accesshiphop.com http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/19055 info@accesshiphop.com http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/19027 info@accesshiphop.com http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/19111 info@accesshiphop.com http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/18997 info@accesshiphop.com http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/18998 info@accesshiphop.com http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/18993 info@accesshiphop.com http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/19056 info@accesshiphop.com http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/18918 info@accesshiphop.com Say Goodbye To Useless is Deru's third full-length release, and his first for Mush Records. Deru, aka Ben Wynn, is an an electronic musician from Los Angeles who has composed music for motion pictures and television, most recently for Avatar, adapted for the screen by James Cameron. He has also composed for the Opera Ballet d' Paris. While you will find similar aesthetics on his new CD as on his previous releases - moody, atmospheric sounds, haunting melodies and organic textures - they are augmented by his most mature song-writing and cutting-edge beats to date. The album pays homage to classic genres and structures while cultivating a 22nd century smart-party ethic that will snatch the ear of the snobbiest beat head. Deru's listeners will continue to appreciate his drive for challenging them as much as he challenges himself. http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/19018 info@accesshiphop.com Track listing below is tentative. http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/18897 info@accesshiphop.com Donwill, one third of acclaimed hip-hop trio Tanya Morgan, brings us an album inspired by its celebrated celluloid namesake. Donwill incorporated personal stories of falling in love, fearing commitment, hating his job, and learning life lessons, to create a clever and deeply personal musical interpretation of the film. Skillfully and artfully crafted using direct subject matter and quotes from the cult classic, the 16-track personal odyssey will resonate not only with fans of the original movie but also with anyone who has spent time trying to figure out the opposite sex. "The album is based on being in a state of perpetual pre-mid-life crisis," says Donwill. "Nothing in life will give you all the answers, but this album will help people find some of the answers they might be looking for." http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/18948 info@accesshiphop.com http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/19065 info@accesshiphop.com E-40's first of two albums being released on March 30th!

Robin creates melodies with lush orchestration and deep beats, intellectual and crisp. Coco layers these with her voluptuous timbre, together completing the sound of Quadron. Their debut, self-titled album was originally released last year in Denmark. The record found its way into the hands of Anthony Valdez, a DJ at the influential LA public radio station KCRW. He immediately began playing the record and the rest of the DJ’s followed. Since the end of 2009, Quadron has been a constant fixture in KCRW’s Top 10 and this led to the duo signing to the Los Angeles label, Plug Research, whose roster includes Bilal, Dntel, Flying Lotus, Daedelus and more. http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/18786 info@accesshiphop.com Brand Nubian member Sadat X is releasing Wild Cowboys II, the sequel to his 1996 debut album. http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/19054 info@accesshiphop.com Coupon enclosed for MP3 download. http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/19053 info@accesshiphop.com http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/18934 info@accesshiphop.com Skeletons is the latest project by Benedic Lamdin, the musician, producer and engineer who produced a string of highly acclaimed LPs as Nostalgia 77. He says: "Skeletons is a made up band. I kid you not - it doesn't exist. These musicians" (Alice Russell, Riaan Vosloo and Mulatu Astatke) "never stood in the studio together, they just passed through my house or left some scraps of sound behind after sessions we were working on. This record is like a guy, pieced together and ready for the bonfire... Some of the music here started life as commissions for a library music company, pastiches and forgeries paid for by the current vogue for a certain style of African jazz. Once I'd done a few though I couldn't stop... to me the whole thing has been a self indulgent forgery, an act of mindless fun. If it sounds good then it's because I just enjoyed the music and enjoyed myself." http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/18992 info@accesshiphop.com http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/18931 info@accesshiphop.com MORE MALICE features 5 new songs and two new remixes including the smash hit "I Wanna Rock The Kings" G-Mix featuring Jay- Z, and "That Tree" featuring Kid Cudi.

And a series of jazz albums, starting with "Miles Away." The second of Madlib's 2010 jazz albums is Young Jazz Rebels' "Slave Riot." "Slave Riot," as you can guess from the title, is a rather chaotic affair. While his previous album, Last Electro Acoustic Space Jazz and Percussion Ensemble's "Miles Away", rambled along at a leisurely pace, "Slave Riot" guns to top speed almost immediately and rarely lets up its frenetic pace. To put this in a Sun Ra context, think of this as Madlib's "Black Mass," as opposed to Last Electro's "Sleeping Beauty." Limited edition, so don't hesitate! http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/18844 info@accesshiphop.com 2010 is a crazy year for Madlib, what with producing hip hop albums for Strong Arm Steady, Guilty Simpson and MED, plus the monthly Medicine Show albums and mixes.
