Fat Tracks from Cats W/ Knap Sacks

Straight from the heavyweights over at Anticon Records, news and tidbits for the alternative hip hop fan. First off, Dosh. Dosh has a new LP coming out. Dosh wants to let you know that the new LP, The Lost Take re-imagines Dosh as the full band he's always wanted to be. It's also the first Dosh album to include vocals. He has taken his expertly arranged keyboard and drum loops, smashed them, and spread them wide over his tracks. Instead of puzzle-piecing his pre-recorded session bits into surprisingly organic soundscapes, Dosh builds his miniature opuses out of live improv by raw, written instrumentation. Dosh- every young hip hop head’s hero. Next up, Darc Mind. If you don’t know about Darc Mind than listen up because Anticon has been given the opportunity to releases this lost, never before released classic rap album from New York duo. This record was recorded for Loud in the 90s, but for some reason shelved. Anticon’s MySpace page just added a new Darc Mind track, “Visions of a Blur” from their album Symptomatic of a Greater Ill, in stores August 29th. Well, I guess technically it’s not new.. but it’s new to you. Check it out by clicking here.
