Magnetic Man - I Need Air
Straight outta Croydon and now signed to Columbia. Magnetic Man show you what they are made of with the delicately produced “I Need Air”. Lie down and pretend your on the beach as you listen…
Laced by the vocals of Angela Hunte who co-created Jay-Z and Alicia Keys “Empire State Of Mind”
“When Big Jon Platt from EMI Music was visiting for a home cooked barbecue dinner a few months later, the duo played him the song. Hunte says an omen foretold its future. “We have a statue of Biggie Smalls on top of the monitor, and as we were playing it Biggie fell off! It was like he was trying to tell us something. Big Jon said, ‘This record is incredible.’ The next day, Jay-Z cut it.”

CloakXDagger’s Profisee will host the Magnetic Man afterparty at SubClub / Stereo Glasgow in October
Dr. Dre - Under Pressure (feat. Jay-Z) .listen
Featuring Kraftwerk’s “Trans-Europe Express,” in the mix. This goes all the way back to the very structure of hip hop’s first incarnation.
Will be BIG in the club.
Akira Kiteshi rides again, now as part in his duo AK Kids . This Bad Acid series is going to be heavy shit. The first one Shoplifter by producer Eprom (who also produced the Zoning EP on Cloak X Dagger with Profisee) was already a blast (especially with the Slugabed epic remix), just listened to the third (already) and this is out soon.
Shree Band Special is slow, deep pumping eclectic with this typical AK synth driven push. Mayhem.
Profisee (CloakXDagger) who has been teaming up with some massive producers takes care of the vocals on Listening. Haunting as ever he declaims madness. “Are you Listening…..“The beats on this are dirty bass somewhere around what we used to call dubstep. Soft Touch is hectic like garage with these nagging synth line, oh yeah…
Out Now:
