The masked man of independent hip-hop, MF DOOM, was at Red Bull Music Academy last week in Madrid to give a lecture. We covered Red Bull Music Academy when it was in London last year and, as always, it featured a plethora of vastly interesting topics and characters; Moodymann was a particular highlight! Anyway, as part of the first semester at this year’s Academy, MF DOOM came to talk to the participants. He raises some particularly intruiging points regards the use of personas … [read more]

The two tracks are lifted from J*DaVeY‘s forthcoming new album, New Designer Drug, which as of yet doesn’t have an actual release date.

Juan Medina, aka Jimmy Flamante, is a laptop musician and music producer from Caracas, Venezuela.
Hip Beats Vol. 01 is Jimmy Flamante‘s new EP. It’s a body of work that reunites various styles within the same genre. Hip-hop beats that go from post-dubstep to much more classical techniques, in which there are only samples and drum hits used.
