Holy fucking shit it’s like Thanksgiving and Christmas and New Year’s Eve all rolled into one and slapped on two slices of 12 grain bread, lightly toasted with a pickle and chips on the side! This is the 50th release on T&A Records, and we’re damn proud to present Sandwich Island Bass‘s Dark Liquor EP. You can download it for free 99 as a Zip or on our Soundcloud, or if you’re one of those bleeding heart, Park Slope stroller mafia, tea party liberals who believes that musicians should be paid just like every other artist, you can purchase these super crazy Zouk Bass jams onBeatportiTunesAmazon, or anywhere else fine MP3s and WAV files are sold. Aloha!

It’s the special edition Dadchat episode of Small Talk, with Maseo (De La Soul), Smalltown Pete (Smalltown DJs) and DJ NDN (A Tribe Called Red) getting super deep (and hilarious) with DJ Ayres. The four dads talk about their early nicknames, various stages of child-rearing, touring, cussing, touching baby turds with their bare hands, etc. Also: the quality of the recording is not the best but we were recording in a hotel room at an open-bar DJ camp, so deal with it.

Adidas asked us to make a mix for their Classics series, so we picked up our crystal ball and predicted 25 Future Classics. These are some of our favorite rap records from the last year and change, with a sprinkling of rock, dancehall and trap, mixed in a relentless Rub Radio style.
