Stooshking Music the Mixtape Vol 1

Rafael Kukutai aka Stoosh is a hip hop artist/producer and also a member of group Dangerous Goods and independent label One mic records.

Following on from his debut single Bounce Stoosh has given us Stooshking Music the Mixtape Vol 1 which was recorded and mixed by Stooshking to pass on to you.

The mixtape features 11 Hip Hop, RnB and Dancetracks and contains a lot of great collaborations and was all recorded at the Stooshking studios.

 

Coco Soild have a free download available to visitors on their blog:

"Here's a free download and one of my fav collaborations to date.

I made this song with Martin Vejvoda aka Limyth a fantastic producer and friend from the Czech Republic.

There are many surreal elements to its creation. Me and Martin made it in Barcelona at RBMA. Ommas Keith from SA-RA was casually behind the desk eavesdropping and tweaking. Yet somehow we forgot about it for over a year.

I unearthed 'Up In Smoke' recently and it helped me rediscover and remember a couple of important things, so I knew it was time we shared it."

Release Of The Day:
Deceptikonz - Evolution: Past-Present-Beyond

In 2010 the Deceptikonz are back to define their legacy with an all new album Evolution: Past-Present-Beyond.

The new album is released as a two CD set with one disc featuring new material, and the second comprising a collection of hits by the Deceptikonz as a group and as solo artists.

Guest's on the album include urban alumni, David Dallas, Monsta, P- Money, Adeaze, and Aaradhna, what's more Dawn Raid Entertainment has hired world #1 graffiti artist ASKEW ONE from TMD to be the creative director for the entire project. he will be creating a collectable artwork cover and limited edition print balancing the all important Deceptikonz logo with his own distinctive stamp.

Hearalded as the Deceptikonz final album before departing on a self imposed hiatus, Deceptikonz have created a work that best reflects their underground roots, unearths the abstract lyrics, revitalizes the scene and provides the listener with a body of work that should define their legacy.
