The duo, consisting of an MC, Eydea, and a DJ, Abilities, hit the stage at about 11: 45 pm. As things go I’m pretty new to Eyedea and have known about …

A Gil Scott-Heron release is an event to be lauded and explored, for this review I will try to move away from my knee jerk reaction for the former and attempt the latter.
Gil’s latest release I’m New Here, released on independent label XL Recordings and produced by label owner Richard Russell is a well crafted work. The creative influence from the owner of perhaps the dopest label around is clearly apparent on “The Crutch” and “Your Soul And Mine.”

Stirring up a big boiling pot of industry buzz is a most prolific DJ and nephew to the late great Alice Coltrane, Flying Lotus.

Here are two reasons I like Bo Ningen: One, they play massively distorted guitars that make you feel like MC Hammer on steroids (when he was rich), secondly Guardian columnist Paul Lester described them as Krautcore.
I can’t speak for everyone, but Krautcore needs to become an established genre.
Here’s the skinny-Bo Ningen are four supermodel thin Japanese guys based in London that play excruciatingly mangled rock. The word that keeps popping up in my mind is guitar- Bo Ningen are some guitar loving motherfuckers.
To date, Bo Ningen have released one EP Karoshitai Kimochi in late 2009.
The rumor circulating is that Jimmy Page saw Bo Ningen perform in them perform in the UK and was blown away. If you take all these elements: Krautcore, MC Hammer on steroids, intense guitar love and impressing a guitar legend you come up with Bo Ningen.
