inside Toro Y Moi's studio.


Despite already two albums of chill music under his belt, Chaz Bundick aka Toro Y Moi is doing a name for itself only now. His newly enjoyed exposure gained him magazine articles, broadcasted remixes and videos. 

In this interview, XLR8R did a little tour in the home studio of the man. Always interesting. 

Lookin4Galt.

Following tribute records (OhNo's "Exodus Into Unheard Rhythms" for example), reissues of the records of his Kilmarnock record label, and countless samples, the guys from Gasface jumped into the search for info about Galt McDermot, the Canadian-born composer of the worldwide famous musical "Hair".

The documentary, very entertaining, is streamable on the web, on Dailymotion or on the dedicated website. Get ready for 52 minutes of knowledge.

Mauritania.

Guys, this is just awesome. Everything in this video is epic (or ridiculous) : the hipster attitude of the "reporter", the name of the record store, the stories of the owner, his excellent French... this is that kind of place you wanna be at, be the first to discover and buy out.
