CLIPS AND PREVIEWS: ill.so.naj – ‘TERMINA’ EP (Preview) [Out Spring 2014]

THE RETURN OF ill.so.naj:

Detroit’s best kept secret, and beat/button/percussion manipulation master, ill.so.naj is returning from a hiatus of release with a doozy. Set for a Spring release this year, TERMINA EP, is set to be a classic. Previously releasing the underground cult classic Aquarian Pt. 1, ill.so.naj has set the bar tremendously high for himself and from the looks of this previews, we are in for a treat with this upcoming gem. The anticipation for new music from the bashful producer has become part of the mysterious persona that ill.so.naj has built for himself. His emotional and passionate beats fill your brain, body, and soul with electric vibrations and will put a smile on your face even in the most morbid scenario. We are so psyched on this release and will be continuously bumping the preview until we have the full thing. We suggest you do the same!

NEW RELEASE: Gramatik Drops ‘The Age Of Reason’ Via LowTemp Records For Free (DOWNLOAD NOW)

GRAMATIK RELEASES THE AGE OF REASON:

After a long await & an enormous amount of anticipation, it’s finally here: Gramatik‘s The Age Of Reason, a 15-track musical masterpiece that has left us with our jaws on the floor since we hit play early last week. From the get-go, it’s very clear that we are listening to something special. Gramatik captivates us through trailblazing combinations of funk and soul fused together with hip-hop and electro accents to create the most striking sounds for any environment at any time. Hit after hit, TAOR feels as if we are listening to the artists’ “greatest hits” album, a compilation of hit singles. It is way to hard to choose a favorite (but DAMN “Faraway” & “It’s Just A Ride” are so sexy), and between Cherub, Illimntr, Exmag, Gibbz, Eric, Krasno, Orlando Napier, and Eskobars, this album is full of class acts that help secure the release as the musical heavyweight that it is. We highly suggest you grab this album and listen to it like we are listening to it; over and over again.

Going along with Gramatik’s concept of “freeing music by making music free”, you can download The Age Of Reason today for FREE via the media megalords at BitTorrent and Gramatik’s in-house LowTemp Records. TAOR is also available through Soundcloud, iTunes, and Beatport.

DOWNLOAD ALBUM HERE

The album’s reception party, a sold-out packed show in NYC at the infamous Best Buy Theater with special guests Late Night Radio, TOKiMONSTA, Branx and Gibbz, was quite the way to launch TAOR, and it’s hopeful that we can expect a strong tour in the near future. We will have to stay sane until those announcements while we gather our excitement for Gramatik’s headlining performance at Red Rocks on May 17th, including the ten-piece funk band, Lettuce, along with Lowtemp label-mates Exmag, Branx, and Gibbz. Fan club pre-sale tickets will be available this Wednesday, January 29th at 2pm EST, and general admission tickets go on sale this Saturday, February 1st, at 12pm EST HERE.
