Sirr Tmo – Listening Experience ft. DJ Earl [Them Flavors]
Picture cutscenes of Tmo and Earl footworking in post-apocalyptic Los Angeles, swerving a rusted out and seemingly abandoned Lamborghini -flying a Tek Life flag high while on their way to get weed, tracking out on cinematic and steampunk 808s and other various pieces of refurbished machinery. Maybe envision Tmo with a field recorder held up to the laser Earl is using to fend off mutants. You don’t have to picture any of that but that is what I imagined upon hearing this song.
Heavee – DROP OFF / BONUS EP
Like most of the TEKLIFE catalogue this EP is for the dance floor. GO LOW (DROP IT DOWN PT.2) seems to be the centerpiece of the album, filtering Juicy J and Thugga Thugga through the beautiful and skittering lens of Chicago house and footwork.
DJ TAYE & DJ MANNY – INSTATHOT
To me this song represents the frantic feeling you get in your gut when you see a real life Instagram star in her/his element -taking a selfie.
Lil Jabba – Sun Thru A Cloud
This song is wet as hell :cloud: Debuted with a download available via [Xl8r].
Heavee – The Message
Chicago’s Heavee (formerly Heavee Dee), best known for his joint track with the late great DJ Rashad on FLYLO FM (GTA V), has recently released this stellar juke and footwork tape featuring heavy collaboration from fellow Tek Lifer, Deejay Earl.
Snoop Dogg & Dam-Funk – 7 Days of Funk – Do My Thang (Teklife Remix)
On this track, the Chicago legends Taso and Spinn give Snoop the Teklife treatment thanks to Stones Throw Records.
MAR 9 – RWD – 2-4pm EST
DJ Earl and Sonic D – A London Sumtin FWKJUNGLE VIP
Jungle is the next new old thing. :monkey: :tiger2: :frog: :man_with_turban:
Traxman – Move Up
Traxman, the living legend and long-time Tek-lifer is constantly putting out free downloads on his Soundcloud. If you are a fan of Chicago or House music, we advise you to have a look at this unique take on Curtis Mayfield.
LiL JaBBA – SKaTeS.
Australian turned Teklife inductee, JaBBA, is easily one of the dopest producers in the game right now. There are a lot of layers in every track and in return a certain kind depth that you can’t digest with just one or even ten listens.
LiL JaBBA – FLaTBuSH (LeWSiE.)
A lot of things went down in this song. At one point it felt like a jazz cafe recontextualized for moon tourism. After that there was a feeling of being at the discoteque and maybe smoking a few cigarettes. :smoking: :smoking: :fr: :smoking: :es:
