See Today It Will Be Soulcrate Music
I love it when I stumble across music like this. I was on Fifth Element to see if they had pre-order on the new Evidence album. On the front page I saw an album cover for a group I have never heard of. They are called Soulcrate Music and the album is, “The Kick Rocks Collection” and I clicked the link to see what they were about. So I ventured to YouTube to see if I could find their videos and was greeted with this one called, “See Today” off their album I mentioned above. So I thought I would share a new group I discovered so you can do the same.

Ninja Senki Makes 8-Bit Fun Again
Ninja Senki is the brain child of Jonathan Lavigne and is a throwback to old school platformers with refreshing gameplay. The download for Ninja Senki comes in under 10mb so it is worth a try and will not hog up your hard drive space. Here is what the creator has to say about his creation:
You play the game as Hayate, the shurikenjutsu master, who embarks on a quest to avenge the death of Kinuhime, the princess of his clan.
I played a few levels and it definitely is frustratingly fun, skillfully involved game that I thought it would be. Did I mention that it is free to play on the PC and works with a gamepad. So what are you waiting for go get it at NinjaSenki.com.

ESP First Impression: Denon AH-D2000
I have just received my Denon AH-D2000 headphones and instead of giving a full review with such a short time with them. I thought I would point out what initially stands out to me.
- Simple packaging with no filler, so less stuff to throw away
- Packaging contains: heaphones, 1/4 (6.3mm) adapter and instructions
- Large and comfortable ear cups
- Wore for several hours without any discomfort
- Nice nylon thick cables for plugs
- Gold connectors for 3.5mm and 6.3mm
- 1/4 (6.3mm) adapter actually screws in for secure connection
- Seems to have a very sturdy housing and built to last
- Sound is impressive with music, games and movies (this is subjective)
- Not overly bass heavy (but it is there) and seems to reproduce a more natural soundscape (this is subjective)
- Drives mp3 players without needing to turn the volume all the way up
If you are in the market for new quality headphones then I would definitely put these on your short list. Click on the images to be taken to Art by Ecliptic Sight for a larger view (800×600). -

Now it looks as if Stones Throw will be responsible for more music video content. With their 15 year anniversary, they decide they wanted the fans to get involved by having a video contest. With the vast catalog of Stones Throw aspiring music video directors only had thier own creative stopping them. The contest is now over and Stones Throw will be announcing the winners soon but you can still see all of the entries on Stones Throw’s Vimeo page. Here are some of my personal favorites but there are so many more to check out:

Jean Grae has devised the perfect name for her new mixtape, “Cookies or Comas” because if you listen to her delicious flow too much it may put you into a coma.

Co-Flow Resurrect
If that title didn’t pique your interest then you don’t know who Company Flow is or you just lost that excitement for Hip-Hop. Well El-P, Bigg Jus and Mr. Len are back to inject some of that goodness back into your heart. No, they do not have a new album out but they are doing a reunion show (so hopefully a new album is in the works) that sold out so the demand is there. As a treat for the fans El-P dug up this song called, “N2N Burners Lost Mix” which you can download at http://therealelp.official.fm/. The artwork below is dope as well and gave me the idea for this post (Click image for full size).

ESP Music Agenda: Albums Unexpected
There are two albums that definitely caught me by surprise with releases this month. First up is a new Wu-Tang album entitled, “Legendary Weapons” similar to how their last album came out of no where called, “Chamber Music”. I will never complain about any Wu music because I have purchased my fair share of releases and they have been on a streak of hits with their recent solo efforts. The album will be out June 28th.
Next up is also a treat with the team up of Eminem and Royce da 5’9″ also known as Bad Meets Evil. If you heard the song, “Scary Movies” and this does not make you drool over this project then I do not know what is wrong with you. The new EP will drop on June 14th. With two powerhouses coming out in June this looks like a great month for Hip-Hop and music in general.

IMA-ONE creates a Robot Robinson
John Robinson delivers fierce lyrics to any track he spits on. Now he has teamed up with Robot Koch to transform into Robot Robinson. Their sound is a mash up of Hip-Hop and Electronic music to nicely combine the genres. Robot Robinson did not stop with their sound scape and injected it into their artwork with the help of IMA-ONE. IMA-ONE is a graphical genius from the land of Japan and gives his own unique spin on their concept. If you check out The John Robinson Project website you can see sketches of the art below and the album cover with the final project also.
