Marvin Marlyn just got featured on The Creators Project, on the cool new column entitled LAYERS. On LAYERS, you get to see what happens behind the scenes of the tracks of today’s upcoming producers. Each track gets dissected into parts, bass, percussion, synths and what have you. From there, the producer lets us know how things went down. Make sure to check out the article HERE where they study “Every Boogie”, a new Marvin Marlyn beat from his next release on Stereoptico. |

Red Bull Music Academy Session Santo Domingo / ON THE FLOOR! with TOY SELECTAH |
|
|
It’s that time of year again. The prestigious Red Bull Music Academy is taking applications once more for it’s 2012 edition, in NEW YORK. The Red Bull Music Academy is a world-travelling workshop and festival, a platform for those who make a difference in today’s musical landscape. This year we touch down in New York, home to the Yankees, Coney Island hot dogs and some of the most game-changing music of the 20th century. To join this journey, you don’t need to be able to play violin at Grade 8 level, name all the members of the Wu-Tang backwards or know how to disassemble an SP-1200 using only a dime and a toothpick. What we are looking for is passion for learning and sharing, enthusiasm for music across genres, and a truly global, open-minded outlook. This coming March 10th, 2012 at around 2:00PM you’ll see some of the Stereoptico fam get together again to talk about what a special experience it was and how it changed our lives. We’re also there to help with any question that might help YOU enjoy the same awesomeness we did. Afterwards, we’ll sit down and have a word or two with latinamerican hip-hop pioneer Antonio Hernandez, known by more as Toy Selectah, and known by many more by his biggest project to date, Control Machete. We’ll explore everything we can and then get a little more technical with a nice workshop. If you’re in Santo Domingo and want to attend, please do drop us a line at info@do.redbull.com so we can save you a seat. No cover charge, tell as many inspired and musical people as you can. And yet, the night is young. Red Bull Music Academy Radio presents ON THE FLOOR! COHOBA HIP-HOP CREW RD $500.00 // OPEN BAR ALL NIGHT |
DAM^BEER – Random Bits |
|
 |
Random Bits More music from the man that refuses to take a break, a producer as industrious as he is creative. DAM^BEER brings up a selection of beats he’s put together between some serious skateboarding sessions and throwing together stop-motion encounters between Alien and Predator action figures, beats he had lying around and was itching to drop. With messed up polyrhythms, funk samples and a very special approach to the boom-bap, this release is a must listen for beat-heads.

STOPCAST 015: HAPPY BDAY COHOBA |
|
 |
We got Cohoba taking the lead of this thing for a second time, citing he’s just been digging too many new sounds to not put a STOPCAST together. Hell, it’s also his birthday today. Watch out, in the following hour of music, from spaced-out textures to dancier rhythms, your head will be played with. You have been warned.

Datawaves – EP1 |
|
 |
EP1 We are very proud to present the first release from Datawaves, an RBMA ex-participant who wishes to remain nameless for the moment, titled “EP1″. Take some 80s influences and a certain appeal for lo-fi production aesthetic with some kind of a lush pop sentiment, put it all in a melding pot and you get something like Datawaves. It’s the new experiment of a certain producer, trying to take his sound somewhere else.

gabo lora – 8 dedos EP |
|
 |
All the way from Paris with a whole lot of love comes an EP from our label’s original founder, gabo lora. Everything from experimental textures to trippy beats (‘cuz we trippy mayn), gabo lays down some serious tracks in 8 Dedos EP. Graphic designer, guitarist, keyboardist (for Rita Indiana at one point), this young man has much to show and tell. Download and enjoy.

STOPCAST: #014 by Macrofunk |
|
 |
Showcasing his tastes on the podcast this time around, we have a guy who has funk and groove in his veins. He can play most instruments, playing in a bunch of bands ever since he was a kid, known for being in charge of the bass for dominican crowd-pleaser band Calor Urbano, dedicating himself to producing funk beats, soul and house music these days and running his Malamania project. We give you the man responsible for all the beats on RedBull’s Talento de Calle competition, MacroFunk.

STOPCAST: #013 by Glowing Palms |
|
 |
Coming out of dark basements and warehouse parties somewhere in UK, we received this special little mix from new project Glowing Palms. We were sworn to secrecy on the details, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy just over half hour of fresh weird lo-fi funkwave disco goodness, whatever that means. Watch out for one of Glowing Palm’s edits dropping soon on the Ruf Kutz label.
