What a week, I mean the hits just keep on coming. This past Saturday was the KJEE Summer Round Up and it was a BLAST. The whole KJEE crew was in full force along with Soul Majestic, Judah and the Lion Bishop Briggs (who I got to Intro in front of thousands of people) and Empire of the Sun. Once I get my pictures all touched up I will post a few here on the blog roll. Funny story, the morning of the round up was the 1st day I actually missed getting up before sunrise so I missed my pre dawn meal. Needless to say it was rough until the sunset in SB, but when it did I got my grub on. The Santa Barbara Bowl is known for many things, and their food selection should defniatly be one of them. Oh for those of you not in the know Im Muslim and its Ramadan. 

Above you can see that I rocked the F**k out of Sunday's New Noize. I went REALLY HEAVY on the indie rock and had to hit another track from my man Beat Vince (taken from the Tokyo 42 soundtrack) in honor of e3.

Talking about e3, OMA DID YOU SEE WHAT SONY DID? Playstation laid down the might gauntlet on some game reveals. Again I'll have more after I have digested all this content. 

I have some news but can't officially reveal what its about BUT what I can say is there will be a live set in my future and if you are in the SB area the 1st week of July then you can witness what I'll be doing. 

I have said too much...

Pretty good set up there right? There were was way too much to play in a span of 2 hours. As per the norm I had to cut a bunch of dopeness to squeeze what I did in a span of 2 hours. 

Keeping on with my movement to highlight indie game music I got in contact with the good people at Tokyo 42, a new indie game out on steam & x-box and is coming to the PS4 in mid-July. An artist known as Beat Vince is responsible for this supremely sublime soundtrack. Not only is the music bananas good the game looks pretty amazing itself. If you missed the set no worries I will be spinning Beat Vince at least 1 more time (and more, you will have to tune in).

Talking videogame music I dropped some new Igorrr and the track that I spun was  a cross of lo-fi 8-bit chiptune and aggressive metal. All that means is I like it, A-LOT. 

Another standout was Guerilla Toss on LCD Soundsystem's label DFA. This full length is "out of this world" Check my instagram feed and you will get it. 

I kicked off the New Noize with some artists that are always on heavy rotation at 92.9 KJEE, but theses specific songs I assure you are, yet....

SIDE BAR Saturday night I attended Ali Wong at the Granada and hot damn that was one hell of a comedy show. She killed it and had me rolling throughout her standup. She talks alot about her vagina, it was parts insightful, intriguing, horrifying and hilarious.  Both my face and my stomach hurt and its all her fault. FYI she is not pregnant anymore but I couldn't find any gifs where she wasn't prego. 

Until next Sunday

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND!!!! To all that defended this country a big ups and thank you. We take pause to remember all the fallen patriots out there for letting us have the freedoms we have. 

New Noize took a small break 2 Sundays ago and is back this past Sunday for an "OVER THE TOP" radio set. I had 2 weeks worth of new music to cram into 2 hours which made it extra hard to pick selections for this past New Noize. I busted open full lengths and dove deep on Omar Souleyman, Dustin Wong & Takako Minekawa, Big Walnuts Yonder, Mutoid Man, Girl Pool, '68 & Chastity Belt. AGAIN I have said this before and I must say this again, this Eyedress record has latched on to me like a face-hugger from Aliens and I am excited to see what pops out of my chest. Also threw in some singles by Danger Mouse (featuring Run the Jewels & Big Boi, SAY WHAT!!!!), Save Ferris & Shabazz Palaces (sub pop mart opened another single and instead of waiting for the label to send me the clean version I edited it myself, cause you know the people need to hear Shabazz Palaces) 

In concert going news I FINALLY got to see NJ's own Ho99o9 down in LA at the Echo and they did not disappoint. I think my neck is still bruised up from the pit. Ok that is a lie, LA mosh pits are pretty tame. I did take some rad videos that I threw up on the gram, so follow me if you haven't already. 

Lastly...SHOUTOUTS! To all my Muslim brothers and sisters out there, it's Ramadan and with all that's going on out there in the world be safe while you observe the most holy of months. I am no model Muslim. I would even go as far to say as I am a the worst, but I do observe Ramadan when it comes around. If you aren't a Muslim but know a few, be extra nice to em and DON'T offer to take them to lunch. Which by the way happens way too much to me at during Ramadan. It's like, "Hey Haaris I never say lets go to lunch but for the next 30 days I am going to ask you over and over and over. Dang it Im going off on tangents again, anyways enjoy the playlist and I will be back next week with more new content.

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!!! Since humans still do not have the capability to create other humans without moms we all have moms so happy mothers day. Alas I live thousands of miles away from my moms but its cool cause facetime. ON TO THE MUSIC.

Hopefully I hit any and all expectations. Super psyched about the new Boris record but to name their 1st single the name of their 1st studio record is damn confusing. I am not complaining by any means though, not only is this track HEAVY it's Boris 25th anniversary. Shabazz Palaces decided to drop an additional album AND artbook and I got my grubby digits on the new single, "30 Clip Extension", and this experience is already poppin off. Algiers surprised a dude with a boom noisey track that really set the tone for the entire show. I can't leave that Eyedress album alone, the entire thing back to back to back is in constant rotation on all devices. 

Quick movie notes. Guardians of the Galaxy 2 was great! On par with the OG. ITS ALIEN COVENANT TIME!!!!! Hype levels are over 9000 for this one, and I am counting down the days when Reebok releases their alien sneaker. Will I try to buy a pair, yup. Will I get a pair, probably not. 

LAST THINGS LAST, Bungie is gonna show gameplay of Destiny 2!!!!! This gaurdian is stoked to see what Destiny 2 is all about. I think they will open the beta up later this week (they won't)
