League510's When The Chips Don't Fall Feat. 1-O.A.K.

The track, featuring Honor Roll Crew member 1-O.A.K., is a synthesized layer-cake of sound and soul, delivering velvet harmonies over the chorus and provocative lyrical styling throughout. It builds heavy from the start with space age, hypnotic keyboards, driving drums, and smooth vocals that snowball to a frenzied pinnacle as the chorus comes to a close.

The verses, courtesy of group emcees TK, Mont, and Mr. Knowitall, question the benefits of the baller-status lifestyle and bring listeners inside the world of League510's genuineness, as the crooning over the chorus matches the group's sentiments: "When the chips don't fall / and the broads don't call / would you still be down for me? / My life consists of more than this / worth more than this, it's business s*** / try not to get consumed by it / please divert your attention." The combination of League's verbal honesty and proprietary sonic style dubbed Town Techno carries on The League's tradition of innovation in the form of hip-hop. - Listen to it here

Visitors Teams with Citizen Kane and Sal Principato for Ledger

Fans of disco, nu disco, dance rock � whatever you call it � pay attention to this hot new release from Visitors entitled "Ledger." It's the rare 4/4 groove that sounds so analog and so fcking live that it evokes an era produced before computers dominated the world, (back then we cut tape instead of clicking mice). "Ledger" is all about celebrating a fertile past with a true vision for the future dance floor. This is an authentic and elegantly specific NYC sound.

"Ledger" traverses the spectrum from balearica, to disco to no wave. Featuring an impassioned and iconic vocal from legendary Liquid Liquid front man Sal P, Ledger carves out new ground in the nu-disco landscape. Rising from a hard bass line and haunting acoustic rhythms, the song moves lyrically into a dance groove that builds from the counterpoint of live playing and electronic production. Featuring live guitar, percussion, and keyboard work, the song develops a loft like frenzy as it progresses. Ledger has a lyric that eludes the clich� of the usual dance track filler and recalls the impressionistic notations of Talking Heads "Remain in Light" or Bowie's "The Lodger". Ledger takes its place in the realm of thinking man's disco, think Dinosaur L, Tiger Stripes, or any of the driving No-wave disco jams that used to issue from the downtown alembic. - more on this story
