The Get Is Gone (For Now); Meet Henry Krinkle Tonight at The Vagabond

HenryKrinkle.jpg
​Long ago, we interviewed The Get, Edwin Jantunen's multifaceted, emerald-y gem of a project. Back then, it was equal parts dubstep track production, Sumsun sidekick, remix mastery; he also co-founded the short-lived but brilliant Lush Haus party. His music was pretty potent stuff, and most of it has all but disappeared.

Jantunen has reemerged as Henry Krinkle, a funny moniker to name something that ought to never be anonymous: the dub-inflected first single, "Come Back To Me," is, appropriately, a dope comeback. As daydream-inducing as his earlier tracks, it's smoother this time, more rounded, all grown up.

MP3: Crime Mob ft. Lil Scrappy - "Knuck If You Buck" (Sea Things Remix)

Categories: MP3 of the Day

​It would be nice to just leave this right here for you with no explanation, but since releasing the Jaws EP, Sea Things has been working on all things non-Sea Things. 

There was the Main Attrakionz track he produced with a member of the group, Squadda B. Then, in a meta-reaction, there were the two Squadda B tracks he produced himself ("Serve the Dealer" + "Different Color Gold").

MP3: Sea Things' "Mind's Eye"

Categories: MP3 of the Day

​​We hadn't heard from Sea Things in a minute, so we took matters into our own hands and emailed Michael Floering himself. Turns out he's been quite busy.

We completely missed the release of his EP, Jaws, which, he explains, marks "the end of an era... The era of intentional hyperbole in my music." Different things are coming, but we'll take the hyperbolic, hyped, overhyped nature of every track on Jaws to hold us over till then.

While each song is a trip through glitchy, blissful time portals, "Mind's Eye" is aptly titled, assuming that what you saw through your mind's eye was yourself suspended in a world of strange color where eight-bit creatures shot gumballs at you.

MP3: Harvey and the Buckets and Suede Dudes Vocalist Nick Petakas' "Keep Me Out"

NickPetakas2.jpeg
Straight from Nick's SoundCloud.
With one hand in Harvey and the Buckets and another in Suede Dudes, Nick Petakas knows how to balance dichotomies in sound. This is probably why his solo stuff sounds like poppily crafted little treasures sent straight through a layer of something scummy.

A relatively new project, the oldest track on his SoundCloud was uploaded four months ago. "Keep Me Out" is not the latest track to be uploaded, but it's certainly our favorite. The hollow echos at its intro fade into warmly scuzzy guitars and Petakas' voice, awash in its own distinct country twang, pleading "Don't let me down." It perfectly encapsulates what we'd like to think are the influences and overall steez he takes to all of his projects. His SoundCloud is currently full of demos, but if this takes shape into an EP soon, we hope "Keep Me Out" will be its single.

MP3: Suede Dudes' "I'm JL's Son"; Get Your Suede Dudes Album Updates in Real-Time

We hope you went to at least one of the recent string of shows where Suede Dudes made an appearance: the drone-y, surfy, and multitalented dudes (Dudes?) are taking a break from playing live. This winter, they turn their goals inward, indoors -- as their kind ought to, if literary history is true [editors' note: I am writing this from a cold climate.] -- to record a full-length.

And you, dear listener, get to hear it all. According to band founder Bryan Adams, they'll be uploading each track to the Suede Dudes tumblr as it's recorded. 

"Right now we're in the middle of demoing songs for a full-length. However, it's gonna be all transparent. Every demo we write goes up on our tumblr, no matter how bad the song may be, et cetera. Right now there's like four or five relatively new demos on our tumblr, or you can check my SoundCloud," Adams said.

Protoman is taking some time off from creating another solo album to focus on his place in hip hop duo Alligator City.

Even though he's not putting together anything full-length, he's not totally neglecting his own music. Today, his remix of Iggy Azalea's "My World" single leaked. 

According to an email from the artist, "This freestyle adapts the original songs content into [my] own Broward County clash of style."

"It's a little tongue-in-cheek," he says, but it's pumped with Proto's sound. You can download the track here. It's rife with 954 shout-outs and Protman's own quick lyrics.

Fed Shutdown of MegaUpload Claims at Least One Local Band Victim, Metal Act Underlined

Underlined.jpg
www.facebook.com
For local industrial-meets-hardcore troupe Underlined, last Friday's Department of Justice shutdown of file-sharing website MegaUpload caused it more headaches than merely interrupting a torrent of Oscar-nominated flick Moneyball.

The hard-working West Palm Beach neo-metal outfit lost more than 50 unreleased demos, countless artwork files, "and years and years of press footage," according to Underlined vocalist and songwriter H7. Big Brother obviously did not take into account the legitimate uses of the site such as online storage before making the decision to bring down the major website last week.

Local MP3: Nick Eberhardt Returns With "Gimmie Love"

Singer/songwriter Nick Eberhardt is one of those talented local musicians who make us scratch our head and wonder, why isn't anyone handing this guy a big-time, multimillion-dollar recording contract? Seriously, he has the sparkling, intimate chops of a Pete Yorn, the dapper looks of a Jeff Buckley, and the guitar skills to legitimize everything. (In fact, he learned his ax-playing skills directly from finger-picking champion Tim Sparks.)

Eberhardt's dazzlingly intimate 2011 solo debut, Can You Feel It, pretty much cornered the market on local, life-affirming acoustic folk rock.

Knowledge Medina, REKS, & Numonics' "Dead or Alive" Glints With Golden Era Spirit

Numonicsdoacover.jpg
Back in late December, our main music feature spotlighted the colossal producing exploits of Pompano-based hip-hop beat-smith Numonics. In that piece, we found the studio dynamo preparing to unveil five projects with five different emcees in 2012. Brother was certainly in demand.

Numonics sent us a taste of his studio wizardry with "Dead or Alive," the first single off renowned battle emcee Knowledge Medina's EP Never Enough (the first of Numonics' aforementioned five projects, this one set to be released on February 7 via djbooth.net,) featuring a guest appearance from cerebral rapper REKS.

Travis Newbill Unveils Smoke EP

The last time New Times caught up with charismatically offbeat Fort Lauderdale singer songwriter Travis Newbill, the charming musician was embarking on a career-defining project, which saw the young 29-year-old releasing 11 records in 11 straight days. The prolific project, spanning the length of his entire eclectic career, culminated in a sight and sound extravaganza called the Oneness event, held on November 11 at Fort Lauderdale art and music space the Bubble.

Early this week, the far-out, unconventional musical oddball released another EP titled Smoke. Followers of Travis' "Travulous" wonderment will recognize both songs on this mini digital EP, as both have been previously released. Newbill says that both songs "Losar Song" (from on Iron Rabbit,) and "Smoke in the Rain" (found on The Sun Is Shining, Birds Are Falling From the Sky, the Sun Is Shining) represent the two extremes of his solo music.
