• Kicksville is new and fresh and clean and pure and NEW AND FRESH.
    How do you describe a band anymore in this day and age of over-hype, mega-links
    And blogs, blogs, blogs, I mean, there’s music coming out of every corner of your world these days and you still haven’t heard anything that knocked you off your ass…..for better or worse……until kicksville. That’s how I see it, that’s how I heard it. that’s why I signed it. that’s how they dined it.

  • FILE UNDER::hip-hop that bounces beyond genre and straight into that elusive next level. Thumping bass lines laced with scratches, raw vocals and bliss. A surprise lurks behind every beat; a twist, a turn and what have you learned? That Yameen is the next generation of hip-hop pioneers.


  • FILE UNDER::classic 60s blue note groove for a new generation of jazz-heads. No this isn’t your father’s jazz, but it’s not your brothers either! Hand picked and produced by long time MMW producer Scotty Hard Rabnett 5 comes alive straight from Western Canada – where they have won every imaginable award and played every possible gig. As refreshing as that cold mountain water, Rabnett 5 will glide into your music collection and quickly earn “most played” status.

  • this is instrumental (ish) beat driven blasts of hip-hop extascy. if madlib met j-dilla and had a baby, it might just be y?arcka.
    these is tracks you can flow to, grow to, and row to.


  • Blending organic instrumentation and jazz sensibilities in the world of digital manipulation, Silences Sumire are central to the hybrid collective/label/festival ears&eyes, and produce a series of remix EPs to highlight creative instrumental groups (the first two for local heros Algernon and the Drastics). The two spend increasingly more and more time in the studio, refining style and process.
