CLICK IMAGE TO WATCH THE VIDEO
Just peeped this out over at LessonSix blog, and I couldn't be more excited. This has jumped to number one spot, on my list of anticipated albums of 2010.
For those who don't know Y Society is a HOT double punch team composed by Insight and Damu the Fudgemunk. They relased in my opinion THE BEST album of 2007 "Travel At Your Own Pace" an instant classic, and now a matrix for a lot of upcoming producers and mc's. Given the fact that 07 was a very dope year for underground music, that is saying a lot.
So many dope tracks but I'll give you guys one for a taste...

Sup everyone...came here today to welcome our 2nd adittion to the WIB fam....Patrick.
Patrick has decided to join us as a News Editor, making that a team of 2 together with Heraldo.

NEWS: The Vinyl Exchange (London)
CLICK IMAGE ABOVE FOR FULL SIZE
A dope vinyl venue for crate diggers and vinyl lovers a like...unfortunately I can't make it this time. Thanks to Martin for sending this through.
About:
"If your unaware of the Vinyl exchange, the idea behind it is a couple djs, a couple producers and a record shop bring down a crate of records they are up for swapping and get set-up with a little table and people can come in with their own records they would like to swap/sell have a chat with said dj or producer go through what's in their crates and swap/sell records with the dj/producer and also with other people who came to the event to do the same and so on.
Gonna have Evil ED and Sensei.FM djs spinning throughout the day and performances from Tranquill (One handed music) Fae Simons (Good Girls rarely make history) and Madame Peppa (Spredluv / Chakra sound) to wrap things up."
Contact details can be found on the flyer image above.

ALBUM REVIEW: Suff Daddy – Gin Diaries
The German producer with a penchant for the juniper berry flavoured spirit deals with elements of of jazz throughout, I envisioned myself hearing this music in the background playing in a lush bar/restaurant especially on 'Jimmy Jazz'. '4 My Holiks' could be mistaken as a DJ Premier production (that is a compliment) while 'Worst Case Scenario' is similar to a 9th Wonder beat from the high-pitched soul vocal sample sped-up, but without the effective snares. 'Hospital' with its beautiful piano loop, ECG sample and smart J-Dilla vocal is used in a skillful effect.
FREENESS: OctopusJones – Angler Fishing
Very original instrumental EP, as original as the name of the artist that put it together...OctopusJones. Not for everyone though...
About:
"Octopus Jones brings an instrumental album for listening pleasures. Usually known as a composer, he takes samples and flips them with ease, using them as if they were chords on a keyboard. The title Angler Fishing is based on the saying “there are plenty of fish in the sea”. Though that’s true, everyone is looking for the one that stands out from the rest. Once the fish is caught, one does not know the outcome until they’ve experienced it. The tape is centered around love, detailing the hardships, joy, confusion, and euphoric state one can go through while being in it."

NEWS: Next Month’s Haps (Concerts & Events)
September promises to be an active month not just for album releases but concerts and events also. What I've listed in this post is a taster of some the events happening in the U.S and London respectively (with a few international mentions towards the end). The artists listed here are basically doing the rounds and will therefore be performing across the states on too many dates to list. Therefore, if you see them here there's a strong chance they're also in a town near you.
Hopefully, I'll update this list regularly with all the weird and wonderful events I happen to stumble across over the coming weeks so keep your eyes peeled.
