The life of a working musician is often glamorized, but reaching the point where you can support yourself strictly off of music isn't easy. New York's Brandon Rowan — best known by his stage name Birocratic — knows this all too well. Despite first breaking out in 2013 when a still-nascent Buzzfeed Media used his Creative Commons tracks in over thirty of their videos, he has had to work hard to become self-sustaining. But last January, he finally reached that point, and he's running with it. His success isn't surprising, though. Birocratic's music seamlessly bridges several instrumental genres — including upbeat future-funk, electronica,…

Devaloop keeps a low profile. The industrious Austrian beatmaker — born Fabian Pfitzer in Salzburg — eschews most social media; besides his Soundcloud, Devaloop maintains only a bare-bones Instagram page and a small Facebook page.

An extensive social media presence for producers is now no longer an exception; it's essentially the norm. But Devaloop would rather…

“I Rap Black” is a powerful collaborative statement from rappers Chuck D, Bishop Lamont, and Mykill Miers, who kick serious knowledge over a slapping instrumental from Swedish producer, Max I Million. They’re also joined by Swedish deejay/turntablist duo Create & Devastate—the latter of whom tragically passed this past March—with outro cuts handled by Besh One. The track is an all-out celebration of unity and strength, and its arrival couldn’t have been timed better as today marks the 28th anniversary of Public Enemy’s classic third album, 'Fear of a Black Planet. ' Fittingly, PE frontman…
Soul Circle Radio Mix Series Vol.26 Mecca:83 (Manchester, UK) I create music as Mecca:83, Rise and as part of the groups Alexis Davis and Redefinition amongst others. When I was six I wanted to be Michael Jackson. By age 13 I discovered A Tribe Called Quest via a skate video and I've never looked back. 20 years later and I'm still obsessed with creating soulful music that keeps heads bobbing. I'm calling this one "Inspiration Information" after the Shuggie Otis classic. It's a collection of tracks that have stayed on my mind of recent and inspire me…
