New hotness from New York homies Cubic Zirconia feat. our boy in South Afrika Mr. Ghost Bones himself Spoek Mathambo. I’ve known lead singer Tiombe Lockhart for a while now ever since me and Zack released a track of hers on Shadetek Records (back when that was still a going concern) and always loved her singing.
Now she’s teamed up with Nick Hook and the rest of the Cubic Zirconia fam to form this band project and they are killing it a lot. I got to play with them and hang with them at SXSW this year and they put on a killer show. Sort of house music with a band (for lack of a better term) really fun live and Tiombe is a super charismatic front-woman.
The video is on some ill Orson Welles one-shot auteur film making shit directed by Khalil Joseph and looks like a million bucks although knowing that Cubic are on a similar DIY go-for-self vibe as we are and releasing on their label I’m guessing it didn’t cost that. Download this minimix from their new Black and Blue EP and vote with your dollars to support good independent music on Tuesday June 15th when it drops.
Their release party is this Tuesday June 15th at Damon Dash Gallery (?!) with an art opening to boot. Flier:
This, their previous video ‘Josephine’ is crazy too.

My new solo instrumental album Flowers is out! Â YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
It took me a while to get this out, longer than I’d like considering it’s on my own label but now it’s out and it feels GOOD! Â I love completing projects. Â But it’s not done! Â Now I have to actually sell some copies! Â If you or your grandma or your friends on the internet would like to support the Dutty Artz movement and contribute to the cause of me buying diapers, catfood and continuing my lavish lifestyle for me and my young family that would be great! Â There are many places to buy it. Â Here is a list:

For those of you who missed my relentless Twitter assault promoting this mix here you go. This is a 60 minute mix I did for the very excellent XLR8R podcast series. I had a lot of fun recording it in the bassment of Dubspot on decks and Serato (no ableton or synch buttons on this one, it’s actual live djing and you can hear it).
It’s got a lot of new exclusives in it from me and my friends including some forthcoming stuff from Dutty Artistz Rita Indiana and Mosholu Park up front.
