Three Quick Tracks
To follow the DFW excerpts, I thought I’d post three quick tracks I’d been meaning to put out for awhile now.
This first track is from the “hardcore Latin funk” band Brownout.

Based out of Austin, I wish I’d been able to hear them live before I skipped town.
Though the video is nothing special (not a Scarface fan), the song serves as one of Dylan Jones’s favorite pre-gaming traditions and you should try throwing it on while working up the energy to get your weekend started. I’m pretty sure it’ll succeed.
Next is a Madlib produced, M.E.D. mic’d song about African-American and Latino people working toward unity.

Easily one of my favorite hip-hop videos I’ve seen in years.
And closing out the trio is a hard-to-find track from native-Texan turned Anglophile (lives, records, and performs mostly in England) Micah P Hinson.

Though I was unable to find a worthwhile video (sorry), the song should be interesting enough. The creative use and layering of strings, distortion, multiple percussionists, etc. is where I’d like more musicians focusing their attention.
Micah P Hinson’s music had previously been much more naked than this track. His newer, larger sound in this case is a success. I can’t wait to hear more from him.
More DFW coming soon.
