Guilty Simpson (Stones Throw, Detroit)
Headphone Highlights

A corner stone of Detroit hip hop and a comrade of J Dilla, Slum Village, Black Milk and the likes, the man found guilty delivers his rap rugged, raw and real.

Hudson Mohawke (Warp Records, Glasgow)
Toronto Treasures

Hip hop-wunderkind and Toronto Academy participant with a choice of his 8-bit styles and synth encounters of the third kind. Like a deep fried Mars bar.

Peanut Butter Wolf (Stones Throw, Los Angeles)
On The Floor! - Live At Sonotheque, Chicago

PBW leaves footprints that most followers would have trouble climbing out of. Just a Stones Throw away from your living room speakers!

Samiyam

Brainfeeder, Los Angeles

Ann Arbor's latest prodigal son and lover of sprinkles on donuts, takes the legacy of all Detroit's talented musical sons and daughters and makes hip hop beats filled with snippets of soul, funk, '70s Italian horror flick soundtracks, Nintendo bonus level music, and '90s hip hop. Somehow, with this much content, the beats still manage to sound gloriously minimal and disjointed. Fans like Benji B, Andrew Meza and XLR8R have been eagerly snapping up his tracks, as Sam freeze frames electro energy and spits it back out as twisted future jazz. Dabrye is a fan, Daedalus describes him as "a thrilling sound to break the sameness," and Flying Lotus is his brother in arms (they collaborate on the project FLYamSAM). Expect to fly transatlantic with these beats, baybee!
