Isaiah Toothtaker - "Bassface"

isaiah toothtaker - "bassface" (prod. by megasoid) (download)

Yiggy is the brand new FREE release from Tucson's rapper/tattoo artist Isaiah Toothtaker. I'll be completely honest, there's not a lot of new rap coming out these days that I'm too impressed by. I think a lot of it is pretty boring, actually, but every once in a while, someone surprises me and causes me to rethink things a bit. Isaiah is one of them. He's managed to get some really impressive production for this record as well, recruiting his friends Megasoid, Eligh of Living Legends, Subtitle, Eric Steuer of Meanest Man Contest, Meaty Ogre and more. He also gets bonus points for editing footage of my man Tsim Fuckus to create a video for "Bassface." It almost seems wrong to offer something this good for free. Go grab it here.

Montreal's Lunice just made Volume Two of his LAZERemix mixtape series available for free download, and it's a real banger. He has a lot of songs on here you'll recognize, only with MUCH nastier beats than the originals. Looking for something to play at your next house party? Throw this on and see if a single person stands still. Go grab this mixtape here, and be sure to spread the word. You can catch Lunice doing shows with the likes of Lazer Sword, Megasoid, Nosaj Thing, and Hovatron.

From the brand new, limited edition 7" compilation Nerdvana, released by Mental Monkey Records. Nerdvana features indie electronic acts trying their hand at their favorite Nirvana tracks. Here, Travis Stewart (better known as Machinedrum) tries his hand at "All Apologies", resulting in a tweaked out, beautiful mess. Machinedrum releases stuff on Merck Records, as well as his own Normrex label, and can be seen out and about doing shows with the likes of Lazer Sword, Megasoid, Jimmy Edgar, etc. The Nerdvana 7" also features covers from Mixel Pixel, Yip-Yip, The Show Is The Rainbow, Pataphysics and Low Red Center. Right now, it is only available for purchase via the Yip-Yip Myspace page, but Mental Monkey will have more copies up for sale soon. Did I mention that the 7" comes on some awesome looking clear blue vinyl?
