Enter Pants Velour, an 8 piece band, with a unique instrumental and vocal makeup. Musically, they combine crisp and cleanly woven drums, keys, and strings (guitar and bass). Vocally, the band balances the rich and vibrant pipes of a lead singer with a tag team of lyrical rappers and a talented core of back-up performers.

Together, this composition seamlessly transitions between a variety of sounds, tempos, and genres, successfully playing music to the ears of rock, hip-hop, rap, and soul fans alike.

Already a band with up-beat, energetic, and sold-out shows, Pants Velour’s recent album release, which is a polished sample of their most catchy, intricate, and well-written originals, demonstrates the amount of talent swelling in this group, and calls for them to be taken seriously as artists.

Sample the entire album below, and follow the links to download the tunes for yourself or share them with others.

Enjoy.

A Fresh Starter is a young artist who is still honing his or her craft but still manages to blow us away with raw talent and an unbridled passion for music.

At only 13 years old, Nini has blown us away, with a voice clearly beyond her years. It was only 2 years ago that she first sat down behind a piano, and as you can tell, she hasn’t looked back since.

We look forward to seeing more of Nini in the coming months, including hearing some of her amazing originals. She is surely on the path toward entertaining us for many years to come.

James is a fabulous artist, with music that reminds me of a cross between Bon Iver and Ray Lamontagne – all great individual talents.

In February of 2010, James released his debut album “Early In The Morning” and has received grave recognition for the album’s raw and vulnerable approach.

“This record was borne out of my desire to create something singular, take the simplest of chords, wrap them in washes of melody, so lines come in, they drop out, everything ebbs and flows as the songs move towards their inevitable end.”

James’ simplicity has become a beautiful compliment to Adventure Club’s dubstep remix. Kudos to Adventure Club for maintaining the raw natural sound produced by James all the while hitting us with a sexy melodic track.

Take a listen:

You be the judge.  Check out the live stream of The Strokes new album “Angles” below:

Cole called “Killers”, classic J.Cole with a methodical beat and some pretty deep lyrics on this one, getting pretty accustomed to awesome lyricism from him and this track is no different. Not going to be featured on any new albums but still a sick song nonetheless. J. Cole expresses himself in this one as a story teller going hard on this track. Check it out here!

“I’m on the run, I live my life like a movie now it’s way too realer
Who woulda thought your baby boy woulda grew up to be a killer”

Download the song here, Killers by J.Cole

Silverlake To Soho no Theophilus London – I Want You Mixtape http://silverlaketosoho.com/blog/magazine/read/stuff/theophilus-london-i-want-you-mixtape/ http://silverlaketosoho.com/blog/magazine/read/stuff/theophilus-london-i-want-you-mixtape/#comments Mon, 03 May 2010 12:15:18 +0000 Dan http://silverlaketosoho.com/blog/?p=675

Brooklynite hipster Theophilus London just dropped his anticipated mixtape “I Want You” last wednesday. This is just a preview of TL’s vision and you surely won’t be dissapointed.  A couple notables: “No Answers”, “Accept the New”,”Hey Wonderful”, a Vampire Weekend sample called “Give it up Dad”, and of course the Starry Eyed remix thats absolute FUEGO.

Theo describes his work as “inspired by Marvin Gaye’s self-imposed European exile and controversial performance of the national anthem at the 1983 NBA All Star game, I WANT YOU is a collection of dark jams that restlessly examines the promise of love beyond lifestyletouching on LA electrofunk, UK indie, tropical escapade and obscure afropop you never knew existed, these are stories from the way we live now: missed connections and misunderstandings, video chats and retweets, returns and deliverables.”

ACCEPT THE NEW

This could be the most high octane playlist we’ve assembled in weeks, combining the pulsating beats of Russ Chimes, a reverberating Starry Eyed Remix, and a brand new single from Eminem. Some mashups make the cut, a Chris Brown/ Designer Drugs collaboration from the sensational White Panda as well as a Crystal Castles/ Chris Brown synthesis courtesy of the ever-reliable Hood Internet.

If this doesn’t get you on the dance floor with a drink in your right hand, I’m not sure what will.
