Cooking with Hot Sauce

Like most, I found out about Spacek when their single Eve first hit the US in 2001. Their sound was completely unlike anything I heard before; left field, yet soulful electronic sounds anchored by the sexy, smoky vocals of Steve Smith aka Steve Spacek who I assumed was the only member of the group. Spacek was is actually a 3 man collective including guitarist, Edmund Cavill and drummer, Morgan Zarate who has gone on to do some pleasant production respectively. Together they released 2 albums but the volume of their work, including solo albums, remixes, production and features is vast. This is our Love Letter to the brothers Spacek delivered with hopes that there will be a new collaborative album sometime soon. Thanks for the great music Spacek. We love y’all!

‘Think Twice’ by J Dilla ft. Dwele #DillaMonth Bought "Welcome 2 Detroit" in '02 without knowing much about it... sounds incredible to this day.

I highliy recommend buying their 2012 album, Towards Other Worlds.

Hit the 2:45 mark as Glasper and Co. break into a rendition of the Stereolab/"Come Play In the Milky Night"-sampled beat that Dilla gave to Busta Rhymes, "Show Me What You Got." Straight-up goosebump/chills kind of stuff.

Koreless - "50 Mil to the Woman Who Makes Me Feel Alive Again" Whoa. Interesting direction for Koreless... just a one-off or is an indication of more things to come? Yay, baseless speculation.

Hey y'all! Are you on App.net? Really?! Me too! Follow me and I'll follow you, etc. It's a pretty neat little place. 256 characters! A burgeoning developer scene! Some really sweet apps! You should be on it! OK! Exclamation point!

Yeah, bro. I'm gettin' pretty hungry.

Man, these guys are just so sweet. I'm giving Lonerism its first listen and... I dunno... Tame Impala just kind of rules, right? I've wanted to post each successive song since starting the album...

What a chill little groove from Andrew Ashong, produced by the one and only Theo Parrish. Out now on Sound Signature.

NYC-based ERIMAJ does a real nice cover of J Dilla's "Nothing Like This". Led by drummer Jamire Williams, the group ERIJAM (Jamire spelled backwards - get it?) consists of some real dope musicians including Vicente Archer (Robert Glasper) and Chris Turner (Bilal). Watch out for Jamire, the ERIJAM sound, and the the soon-to-be released album Conflict of a Man.
