The Best Jazz on Bandcamp, July 2024 

Source: Bandcamp Daily. I’ve been at this jazz recommendation thing for a long time. It should have gotten old by now. But it never does. Every month, I encounter a new recording that lifts me up and rejuvenates me. And some months, it’s more than one recording that does this. June is one such month. […]

New LL Cool J Album Has An Epic Guest List

Last month, American rapper and actor LL Cool J shocked the music world by announcing that his first album in eleven years, The FORCE (Frequencies Of Real Creative Energy), will be released later this year.

The announcement was accompanied by the first single – the first song with LL Cool J as the lead artist, Saturday Night Single, starring special guests Rick Ross and Fat Joe and production by A Tribe Called Quest’s Q-Tip. At the time of that release (14 June), LL Cool J teased that the song was “just the beginning.”

He added, “There’s a lot more where this came from, and I’m hype for y’all to hear this new record. We’re doing this for the fans and for Hip-Hop culture.”

Featuring 14 tracks, LL Cool J’s latest will star special guests, including Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Busta Rhymes, Nas, Saweetie, and more. You can check out the tracklist below.

In addition to sharing the tracklist and release date (and pre-order/pre-save link), LL Cool J dropped the second single from The FORCE, Passion. Below, you can find the music video.

In a new interview with The Associated Press, LL Cool J revealed that he had to learn “how to rap again” for his first album in eleven years.

He said of the process of recording the LP: “[I was] going back to the drawing board and learning how to rap again… making sure I was really inspired by the things I was saying. That’s why there isn’t a lot of fluff on this album.”

You can pre-order physical copies of the album here or pre-save it to the streaming service of your choice here.

Soakin’ ‘Wet’

When you think Summer 2024 can’t get any better, TESTPILOT makes a victoruious return with this delicious release. The song has all the gritty textures that the alias is known for. Moreover, it has similar element’s to Kx5’s ‘Unobsidian’, which will make you act extremely feral.

A post shared by TESTPILOT (@toliptset)

The track that is over 8 minutes long comes as a surprise, giving that the TESTPILOT project started in 2013 and he hadn’t released a track as such since 2014. Could this be the start of a new era for Joel Zimmerman? His techno sets are rowdy, dark and fun, so we are really hoping that is the case. The song will appear on deadmau5 newest EP some ep coming up next Friday july 19.

TESTPILOT

While Celebrating 25 years of the amazing project that is deadmau5, with a tour and even an exhibit in Las Vegas’ AREA15, The Canadian Grammy-nominated DJ and producer Joel Zimmerman aka deadmau5 is one of EDM’s biggest names. With a snarky personality and music that resonates with a massive audience, it’s expected for the artists to adapt to the times and evolve within his sound.

With his alias, the artist is able to dabble into different sounds. TESTPILOT’s take on techno has fused the tradition and soul of techno with a razor edge, sharpened by years of comprehensive knowledge and exploration of the music and its tools. His sets are haunting, cosmic, and move at prime velocity, ready for the darkest of warehouses. Now with the arrival of “Wet,” expect the unexpected from TESTPILOT. With ten years under his belt, TESTPILOT will make a triumphat return and perhaps take a bigger role in producing smashing tracks.

It’s so humid in here, i feel… so… ‘Wet’!
