VIDEO: “Iridescent Asteroid Mists” – Vox Mod (feat. Palaceer Lazaro)
And while we’re on a Palaceer Lazaro cameo trip…
This here is the video for “Iridescent Asteroid Mists,” the opening track to Vox Mod’s recent Syn-Aesthetic which you can spin below. The track is full of bright synth and electronic thump, perfect for your at-home or work commute headphone space. The Palaceer lends a fresh old school flow to the proceedings.
VM reaches for the cosmic and metaphysical in the descriptions for each of Syn-Aesthetic‘s tracks, and for this particular joint he has this to say: “Ishmael Butler aka Palaceer Lazaro of Shabazz Palaces describes multidimensional celestial visions.”
VIDEO: “My Backpack” – The MC Type & Prof
An anonymous reader once told me that he met a local DJ/producer on the street whose reputation as a true school hip-hop representative was often called into question. That is until said DJ pulled from his magical backpack a copy of A Tribe Called Quest’s People’s Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm. And a vinyl one at that! Hallelujah! All doubts erased!
The situation described above might be what The MC Type is goofing on in his hilarious video for “My Backpack.” Because, after all, a stethoscope does not a doctor make.

Synth and rapid-fire hi-hats abound, so if you’re into that sorta thing I expect you’ll love it.

More laughter in the face of societal degradation by Art Vandelay. Eye 8 The Crow is the duo’s third album in as many years. We’re still breathing and listening, much to Ricky Pharoe and Mack Formway’s chagrin.
