Priors – What You Need (Hey Champ Remix)

We pretty much fell off the face of the earth during Thanksgiving weekend, so there’s a lot of catching up to do. We’ll start with the Hey Champ remix of Priors’ What You Need. Hey Champ has a knack for reviving forgotten gems and just remixing with little to no regard for the latest trend [...]

Jay-Z vs. Slightly Stupid – Roc Boys/Mrs. Officer

I get a lot of emails from people asking who writes all the material on this blog and for the last year or so, the answer has been me, HMJ. With the exception of my musical twin Steph Lund, who has carte blanche with her monthly mixtape and will become an official part of EMPT [...]

Kevin Casey’s Sample Saturday – Yvonne Fair et Jay-Z

In conjunction with Et Musique Pour Tous, every Saturday I will be posting a song that was produced using a sample, along with the original record.

Kleerup – Until We Bleed (Feat. Lykke Li)

I tell you man these Swedes are unstoppable with this music thing, I can’t tell you how many times a good song leads me back to the good ol’ Landet lagom. In fact, I just found out Sweden is the third largest music exporter in the world, surpassed only by the U.S. & UK, thank [...]

The Twelves – Episode II

The Twelves have released 3 fantastic mixtapes and so far I’ve posted two and it’s been one of the most downloaded files on this site. The time has come to complete the series with yet another jewel, Episode II. Aside from Steph Lund’s Le Miel du Mois (recently crowned mixtape goddess on The Clink), I [...]
