A free download and dope mixtape for all the music-heads. Put together by Vancouver’s Dj’s Flipout and Sean La-La, the Elsewhere mix is an educational head-nodder that’ll school the unaware and remind the inclined.
The night has been host to many guest Dj’s including ?uestlove, Ali Shaheed, Maseo, Cosmo Baker, Bobbito, etc. And as you can tell by the flyer/cover for the night, the variety of music on this mix is the cream of the crop ranging from Marvin Gaye to Kraftwerk to Nas to Alicia Keys.
Top top it all off, it features narration from Ghostface…ill haha.

As you all know, I’m quite a fan of these dudes..and pretty much anyone thats doing something creative and progressive for music, regardless of genre.
We’ve all seen their remixes of classics by the Fugees, Aaliyah, Biggie, etc on their Keys N Krates TV channel on Youtube - but here is an upbeat original by them called Eye Know. If this composition is any indication of what they’re working on, you can pretty much considering them a solidified band now. The drums, synths and Steely Dan vocal cuts work together perfectly. The video clip is pretty dope too, but still raw and gives you a hint of what their live show is like.
Speaking of which, Keys N Krates will be back in Vancouver on Thursday May 29th at Barnone. Those of you who attended their show last time can attest to what a great vibe and party it was and I’m sure this time around will only be better.
