free is better.

Some free stuff today. And some good one. You know the saying, "it's better when it's free". Almost.

Mr. Oizo, the electro wizard, has just made available an EP through a funky website. The kind of website that you were trying to make 10 years ago, and that got so old since then. Well, Mr. Oizo reintroduced the flash-driven websites... vintage indeed. Catch "Stade 3" over there. 

Grems is the kind of complete underrated talent : he raps, he draws, and seems to be just good at anything he does. But whatever he does, he seems unsatisfied. While rapping (in French), he has that bum style that I like in a guy like J-Zone. But Grems has something else, a special touch that makes him able to switch from techno to house to rap to whatever sounds unusual. To put it simply, Grems is a creative mind. So, to get acquainted with him, get the "Miki Grems 1978-5713" mixtape. And to get a glimpse of his designing skills, check out his collaboration with the bike-making brand Scott. Dope. By the way, Grems released his latest album, "Algèbre 2.0", which is not a free item, but a cheap one considering you can purchase a bundle that includes a book by Grems. 

The beatmaking reference DJ Shadow announced the upcoming release of a collection of tracks he did before releasing his classic album "Endtroducing". Like Masta Killa said, "no said date"... but, two tracks are already available for download.
