Yes you, Kan. The name Kan Sano keeps popping up on compilations filled with nasty beats. Most recently, I saw him on Project: Mooncircle's thematic comp The Moon Comes Closer. His contribution, "Cosmic Apple," is a jazzy number without much of a beat, but it led me to other tracks of his that

Hi Iggy, Kev Nish here from Japan. First two shows in Osaka/ Kobe were fly like a G6... Got to experience a grip of cool ish out there but we keep hearing Tokyo is where it's at. After a hard night of partying, we hit a bullet train early in the morning to Tokyo. I...

"Breaking into the hip hop world isn't easy for anyone. So when a few East Asian homeboys started posting up flyers and hustling to get audiences -- it seemed inconceivable that seven years later, they'd get signed to Interscope, tour the world, and split a bill with Lady Gaga. Despite a few

Before the first Tokyo Monster Ball show, we hit the streets of Tokyo hard for a promo run. We first headed over to the Universal Japan headquarters to meet the team out there and do some video drops and interviews with a few local TV networks. Then we were off to our first radio interview out...

The biggest no duh statement of the year is that we love Far East Movement. We called them one of our 25 Best New Bands (and they're not even a band!). We have them blog for us regularly. We have posters of them up in our office. So last year when we were shooting them...

Sometimes -- like when your aunt or sister has a little baby -- you'll hold him and squeeze him when he's young. And then he'll grow up. And he'll be 6' 5". And you'll be afraid he'll eat you. And you'll say the dreaded words: "I remember when you were only thiiiiiis big." And...

Posted on Twitter earlier today, M.I.A. announced the tracklist for her new album -- allowing that it was "open to suggestions" (really!?) despite the fact that a blimp over Coachella already announced its arrival as June 29th.

Let me start off by saying that this was not your ordinary concert -- out of the 8 performers, only 3 were actual singers. The very first performer, David Garibaldi, painted canvases of Lady Gaga to remixed club songs. A production team who in their own words "only make movies" garnered just as

One for Northern Japan We recently introduced you to Japanese producer Kan Sano, who we found through his work with Project: Mooncircle. A fan of jazz samples, Kan composes his tracks with diced up cuts of the good old stuff, but he's dopping into a different crate for his tribute to the victims of

NBA legend-in-the-making Kobe Bryant's nickname is the Black Mamba, so a movie based on that tag was probably inevitable. Bryant, Nike and director Robert Rodriguez created a short film titled "The Black Mamba" that serves as an ad for his latest signature shoe, the Nike Zoom Kobe VI.
