New Groovebug Feature: Pseudo Slang
In a review of their debut album We’ll Keep Looking, Okayplayer.com writer Jason Reynolds described Psuedo Slang, saying, “This is what would have happened if Digable Planets formed a super group with Slum Village.” As a lover of 90s-era hip-hop and a devoted J Dilla fan, I was immediately hooked after reading this. In listening to the album, it’s clear the group has a...

Groovebug Pick: Chairlift - “Met Before” This interactive video lets you choose your own path and create different versions of the “same” video. Then if you’re anything like me (or watch Community) you get all introspective and think about all of your alternative timelines.

Groovebug Personal Soundtrack
I got the idea for a personal soundtrack post from Soundboard and am going to try and start it up with some Groovebug folk. I’ve already posted a lot of my classic music picks, but here is a song that consistently tops my most played list. Ask anyone who knows me and they can confirm my severe Jenny Lewis obsession. While I love early Rilo Kiley, “Acid Tongue” from...

With the release of their album Lonely People in 1999, the members of Rec Center took this vision one step further. The success of Lonely People made Rec...

New Groovebug Feature: People Under The Stairs
Los Angeles based People Under The Stairs, Double K (Michael Turner) and Thes One (Christopher Portugal) are widely considered to be one of the most successful fully independent hip-hop duos of all time. Beginning with their first full-length release in 1998, the duo has built a reputation as one of the few remaining acts to retain the purity and integrity of 80s and 90s-era hip-hop. With their...

New Groovebug Feature: Slam Donahue
On first Google search, it is not so easy to find a plethora of information on Slam Donahue. They DO at first glance, however, look like some mustached Brooklyn musicians. And hey, we like anyone who can pull off a mustache.  Slam Donahue is a pop band from Brooklyn, New York and recently signed a deal with Cantora Records. The great thing about their music is that even though it’s...
