PopularLemonade

In 2009, PopularLemonade declared Dj Amen‘s mixtape, Never Trust Robots, the best dj-based mixtape of the year.  Just two years later, Dj Amen is back at it with his follow-up project, aptly named NeVEr TRuSt ROBoTs pT. 2. It’s a little bit embarrassing to admit, but I listened to the Amen‘s first installment to the point that the [...]

Red Bull has created quite the legacy of bringing dope events to various cities across the world and it’s no surprise that the energy drink conglomerate has decided to touch Boulder, Colorado.   If you missed the events last year (both the regional and national finals were held in Denver), you missed a whole lot [...]

I think anyone who runs a web site, radio show, or any other sort of music promotion venue has suffered the plague of the “epic inbox failures,” which mostly consist of bullshit music that isn’t worth the time to download. Whenever something good comes in, it’s quite the occasion, and I wanted to share with [...]

You should know that the Dungeon Family track listed on Episode 8: Beamin’ fresh from the Field Day crew is probably one of my favorite tracks in the history of favorite tracks… as a matter of fact, so is the Frank & Dank track… Throw in some Wiz with a splash of Mickey Factz and [...]

The Estelle track that Dj Amen has included in his weekly Field Day podcast has been dominating my playlist for the past few weeks.  There’s something to be said about consistency in track selection (especially when you’re a dj dropping a new podcast every week, without fail, come rain, shine, or high water)… Amen has [...]

Another extra fresh podcast by Dj Amen… Need I say any more?  I sent out a tweet the other evening requesting a fresh podcast, and quite frankly… This is THE only one on my radar.  No complaints about this – the last installment is creeping up on my most listened to music, even after a [...]

My good friends over from Field Day are quite frankly some of the most innovative and creative folks I have ever had the opportunity to work with.  Djs Amen and Sounds Supreme have kicked off their inaugural podcast earlier this week and I spent a sunny Spring afternoon yesterday rocking this joint exclusively in the [...]

Late last month, Red Bell brought their 2010 Thre3style Competition to my own hometown of Denver (for the record, my predictions were almost spot on with Sounds Supreme and Amen both placing within the top three).  Masked wheels of steel master Magmanimous held down first place proper, and I can’t really express how proud of [...]

I love a good mixtape, and this year has been one of the best as far as pushing the envelope with creativity goes but also in redefining what a mixtape actually is.  For this reason, I have broken the mixtape category into three sections:  dj-based, emcee-based, and production-based.  Ratings are based purely on what has [...]

I always love and appreciate it when super talented people  join forces into one big superhuman transformer type entity – in this case, it’s my friends at LARD & one of the most cutting edge djs in my area code, Dj Amen.  This shit is sure to be on deck for my weekend playlist.  Plus, [...]
