Chali 2na’s “International”

Edan’s “Echo Party”
Back in 2005, Edan Portnoy walked off with the indie-rap MVP award for Beauty and the Beat, his psychedelic mind-bomb. He’s been eerily quiet since then, occasionally popping up on his friends’ records (Cut Chemist’s The Audience’s Listening, Mr. Lif’s … Continue reading

MC Chris’ “Gremlins Tour”
Prankster MC Chris is back on the road. MC Chris Goes to Hell, his follow-up to last year’s MC Chris is Dead, isn’t out yet, but he will undoubtedly have plenty of nerdcore rhymes, standup comedy bits, pseudo-pop-punk rave-ups and … Continue reading
Thavius Beck’s “Dialogue”
L.A. producer Thavius Beck is back with Dialogue, a new set of dissonances and noise experiments. Oddly, it comes out in the UK and Europe next week (October 5) via Big Dada; however, Mush Records does not have a domestic … Continue reading

Pseudo Slang fall tour
The good news: Pseudo Slang, whose recent We’ll Keep Looking earned a nice (if slightly nepotistic) review on Okayplayer.com, is touring the States next month. The bad news: about half of the itinerary is TBA. Since there are so many … Continue reading
