Africa Hitech is a duo on Warp Records consisting of Steve Spacek and Mark Pritchard. For those familiar with the track “Wind It Up”, you know what’s up with Mark Pritchard. Together they make some spaced out funky/dancehall tracks with great detail, just listen to all the sounds coming on “One Two”.

Adult Swim is offering 8 new singles every week which you can find here. This week’s single is a Mike Bigga (aka Killer Mike) track produced by Flying Lotus. I can’t wait to hear more hip hop like this in the future.

So I just realized I never wrote a post about the new Flying Lotus album, Cosmogramma, when it came out about a month ago. His style has evolved even further with this release with a lot more emphasis on the actual composition of his music. Plenty of live instruments are sprinkled throughout the album from a few features including Thom Yorke from Radiohead. Check out one of my favorites from the album below.

Check out this beat tape that the homie Shy Guy just dropped. He sampled the themes from classic James Bond films and made beats for each one. Real raw shit. You can download it for free at http://beatsjamesbeats.com.
