With the release of their sixth album, From the Corner to the Block, the five-man group Galactic reaffirms their standing as one of the funkiest bands. From the Corner to the Block exposes their organic grooves to an urban ear while still maintaining their essential funk aesthetic.
  The band started out over a decade ago as an instrumental act in the tradition of the Meters, the JB’s, and Booker T. & the MG’s - bands equally comfortable recording their own material or working with vocalists.
  From the Corner to the Block grew out of Galactic’s experiences touring with artists like the Roots, Jurassic 5, Triple Threat DJ’s and Gift of Gab. Though it features cameos from a “wish list” of fan-favorite MCs, this isn’t a typical hip-hop album per se, but a contemporary funk record that just happens to feature hip-hop vocalists.

The Hood Internet
  In an age of immediacy, The Hood Internet gives the people what they want on a daily basis, even if they don’t know they want it yet. Taking charge of the pop, rap and R&B landscapes, DJs STV SLV and ABX (Steve Reidell and Aaron Brink) drop the unlikeliest elements into their pot and make gold. From dirty south rap to Canadian indie rock to “French Touch” electro to pretty much whatever else there is.
