And as promised, back by popular demand, it's the Mixtape Show Beat Tape Volume 2. No Juggernaut this time, but plenty of dope instrumentals. Listen: RZA - Flying Birds. I think this was a secret instrumental on a soundtrack. I mean come on, it's the RZA. It's short, but you'll like it. Kenny Keys - A Woman's Gotta Have It. You should recognize this name from the Eulorhythmics interview - the dude is really that ridiculous. This joint in particular stayed in my mp3 player for a miiiinute. myspace.com/kennykeys1987 Jay Dee - A Man's World Flip. This one didn't make it into Episode 28, but I had to get it out there. I'm not sure if this one was ever officially released - I don' t think it was - so ignore the title I gave it. jdilla.org Suburb - selection from the fall tape. If you weren't aware, the man Suburb is my favorite beatmaker at the moment - which, given my impeccable taste in music, should really say something. If you don't feel this joint right here, you don't have a soul. myspace.com/suhburb

This week - no hip-hop. Yeah, you heard me. I'd like to officially present to the internets - each and every one of them - a nascent genre of new Black music. I don't know what to call it - I've heard Space Funk (or maybe I made that up? I can't remember), Neo Funk, and TK seems to have settled on Soultronica, which I think is fairly accurate. You'll see what I mean when you listen to the episode. So, for now, soultronica it is. Check the playlist. DJ Spinna - Intergalactic Soul feat Phonte of Little Brother. This is sort of a weird record. Spinna starts off with two or three solid space-hop joints - this being the hottest - and then just when he's got a good momentum going, he turns around and runs straight for motherfucking Chicago. House all the way through. Weird, but good. djspinna.com J Davey - No More (Donwill Piracy Remix). At long last, after nearly 8 months of talking about it, I've finally gotten some J Davey material. I actually have enough for a whole episode, or two - peace to them for getting all that to me. I'd already heard the original joint, but this unofficial remix puts it over the fucking top. If you're not already on the J*Davey bandwagon, you need to be. jdaveybaby.com.

Shit y'all, I'm sorry. I know I'm late with this one, but I have a good reason - I'm in motherfucking Guangdong, China right now. Shit is serious ...
