knXwl3dG3 - live dublab set 2.24.08


Here at the doctors office, certain interweb localities are of constant interest. If you haven't heard, dublab.com is an excellent source of up and coming new music broken via the web. as a regular podcast subscriber, doc tee takes chances at the dances, and he recommends you to do the same. for instance, check out but one of the many sultry offerings via dublab.com - knXwl3dG3: a philly beatmaker of an astral projectionist nature. if you like hip hop production of the FlyLo, Jel, Quas styling - peep it. though its a set from earlier this year, its got a spacey boom bap thats sort of eternal. check his myspace page too.

Janelle Monae - Metropolis: The Chase Suite - special edition (2008)

Metropolis: the chase suite - special edition (2008)

This is the ep re-release post signing with bad boy/atlantic records.
Do not sleep on this any longer than the somnabulent doctor T did. 2 years later doc tee wakes up to a concept album to bumrush all other concept albums of the day (but really how many concept albums are out now that are offering up social commentary enclosed within a story about an android who breaks the law by falling in love with a human). The android, named Cindi Mayweather, goes on the run, from bounty hunters set on disassembling her for this infraction. Basically the album is about her odyssey on the lam. oh, and its set in the year 2719. hot.

Sound wise, if you can get down with Sa-Ra Creative Partners, your ears will prick up for a listen.

check the video for "sincerely, jane." it'll getcha.
