Without a doubt one of the most important voices in 20th century music, proto-rap pioneer and - offensively but not inaccurately - the black Bob Dylan, Gil Scott-Heron steps into the next decade with his first album in thirteen years, I’m New Here. This digital DJ promo features the first single “Me And The Devil” and the blues hollering “New York Is Killing Me.” Recorded in New York over the past eighteen months, I’m New Here reveals the huge, banged-up heart that shows the only genuine motivation any activist or artist should have, a bone-deep, unsentimental love for humanity.

Salvador Santana, the 26-year-old keyboardist, vocalist, composer, and songwriter makes a splash with his single "Keyboard City." Cut with Beastie Boys collaborator Money Mark, the original track layers reedy, synth atmospherics, icy-cool electronic keys and a smooth-as-butter beat underneath Sal’s awesomely zonked-out vocoder-heavy vocals. This digital DJ promo packs not only The Hood Internet remix featuring GZA, but also the Dan Deacon remix of the Hood Internet remix - done, of course, in Dan’s inimitable synthed-out style. Topping it all off is Mathieu Schreyer’s electro-booty breaks remix. Chocked full of rock, funk, R&B and traditional Latin rhythms, Salvador’s album Keyboard City drops early next year.

Steadily gaining more and more kudos on an international level, Switchstance Recordings presents its next installment of dope beats and advanced sounds. Where We Live is the new EP rolling out of the studio from Protassov, beatsmith and psychedelist from the dark heart of the German Ruhr area.

Three all-new tracks make up the EP. Starting with “Where We Live (Part II),” it digs right into slow-motion spheres, while providing a mellow jazz vibe. The deep and tender “A New Beginning (Reloaded)” presents Protassov’s well-known day-dreamy side, and the EP closes strong with the straight-marching, head-nodding and catchy “Love Is Easy.” On Where We Live, Protassov takes another step forward with his beat mystifications.
