DOPE VIDEO: Captain Murphy - Duality

You may have heard of Captain Murphy. He's that new as-yet unidentified face in the bubbling cauldrons of recent avant-garde hip hop, a nebulous mystery man collaborating with the likes of Flying Lotus, Earl Sweatshirt, Tyler the Creator, Azizi Gibson, and others. He's released a series awesomely psychedelic tunes lately, but just today drops the biggest Captain Murphy release yet: The stream of the debut mixtape "Duality," accompanied by this absolutely insane 35-minute visual. If you've got the time to fry your brain, I suggest sitting down, heading over to www.captainmurphy.xxx and tumbling headfirst into the psychedelic abyss of the "Duality" video, a full audio-visual-neural-carnal experience to say the least. Warning, some of it is very NSFW.

DOPE BEATS: Side Brain - On The Second Moon of Earth

LA-based with Israeli roots, Yeuda Ben Atar aka Side Brain makes bouncy, highly video-game inspired beats. Fits in nicely with the LA beats sound, extremely reminiscent of Free The Robots, and Dutch producer Hayzee. Lush synths, punchy beats, bleeps & bloops make for a sweet sonic combination. Check out this video of him using a Nintendo PowerGlove to control his live set, and stream/download his excellent beat tape "On the Second Moon of Earth" below.

DOPE VIDEO: Dub FX - Love Someone

This one's an oldie, but one of my favorite things on the internet that I just keep coming back to. Dub FX is a musician originally from Melbourne who makes live beats using nothing but his voice, loopers & effects stations. Here he performs "Love Someone" live on the streets of Amsterdam, a soulful tune over a pumping DnB beat. LOVE IT.
