Daily Jam - Great Day (Four Tet Remix)

I'm tired as hell, but it was a wonderful day.  I took the day off work.  The third grader had his class field day this morning.  And i spent most of the afternoon in downtown Austin watching a slew of SXSW performances.  So let's celebrate with a little Madvillain, or more succinctly, some Four Tet remixed Madvillain.  Listen to "Great Day" below, our Daily Jam.

Sven Wunder

Swedish composer Sven Wunder is back at it again, this time with the aid of the Madlib Invazion Library Series, a project created by Madlib and Egon to let their friends and other artists create whatever they want for use in film and television and future sampling.  "Ultramarine" is a lush and beautiful piece, a cinematic soundtrack for two lovers, but check out the funky B-side, "Terracotta," below, and then get the "Ultramarine" 7" here from Piano Piano.

Daily Jam - Slim's Return

Dig on some classic sounds from Madlib while i get to work.  Here's "Slim's Return," our Daily Jam.

Daily Jam - Great Day

It's always going to suck that we lost MF Doom last year.  So here's a track from his Madvillain, his legendary collaboration with producer Madlib.  Check out "Great Day" below, our Daily Jam.

Madlib & Four Tet

Madlib and Four Tet's Kieran Hebden have been collaborating back and forth for a couple of years, and the fruits of said collaboration are finally coming out later this month with "Sound Ancestors."  The result is some really groovy and soulful instrumental hip-hop.  Check out "Road of the Lonely Ones" below and pre-order the LP here via Madlib Invazion.

Freddie Gibbs & Madlib

I'm just a little bit late on this one, but i finally got around to checking out "Bandana," the latest collaboration between Freddie Gibbs and Madlib.  These two have a great track record so far and they sure don't disappoint here either.  Check out the video for "Crime Pays" below and get the record here from Rappcats.

Daily Jam - Money Folder (Four Tet Remix)

This one just felt right today, Four Tet's remix of Madvillain's "Money Folder," your Daily Jam.

Madlib & Oh No - Big Whips

The upcoming "Gangster Music Vol. 1," a compilation album of different MCs and producers assembled by visual artist Gangster Doodles, feels like a kind of throwback mixtape that Madlib would have put together a decade ago.  Coincidentally enough, the producer appears on the record, with a new track featuring Oh No.  Watch the Pink Panther featuring video fro "Big Whips" below and pre-order the record here from All City.

Madvillain - Avalanche

The duo of Madlib and DOOM, otherwise known as Madvillain, gave us just one amazing album all the way back in 2004.  What a different world it was then.  Anyway, they're back (kind of) with a Madvillain action figure you can get from Rappcats, and it comes with a single for new (kind of again) song "Avalanche."  I always enjoy hearing anything from these two, and "Avalanche" does not disappoint.  Listen below.

Freddie Gibbs and Madlib

I'm getting to the dance a couple of months late on this one, but after two plus years in the making, i'm going to forgive myself for letting it slip.  Rapper Freddie Gibbs and producer extraordinaire Madlib, after some stellar EP's, finally released a proper full-length on Stones Throw.  And they work with everybody.  Take a listen to "Robes" featuring Odd Future's Earl Sweatshirt and Domo Genesis below.  It kind of makes me want to smoke weed.

New Madlib

New music from hip-hop producer Madlib is always a good thing.  Don't ever let anyone ever tell you any different.  "Black Widow" comes from the producer's upcoming "Rock Konducta Vol. 1" LP on Rappcats.  Take a listen and groove below.
