Jay Fresh: Free Downloads

If you want some hip-hop with some lyrical rhetoric you gotta give Jay Fresh a listen. He has been working with several amazing artists such as Supervision and touring alongside Pretty Lights Music Label artist Michal Menert. In fact he recently threw down with Live Music Daily's friend wiZard a bunch these past few months. Menert, Jay Fresh, and WiZard just took OKC by storm at the Nova Cafe about a week ago (see video below). We will continue posting Jay Fresh's material, because he's not going anywhere, people are gonna catch onto this.

Lights All Night: What A Weekend

       Well everyone knows that Lights All Night was everything everyone expected and more. The Dallas Convention Center came to life for two nights of top notch electronic music as old and new friends gathered to share a unique New Year's experience that will linger in our minds until we can get more next New Year's.
      At festivals I have found myself often drawn to follow the  massive crowds to watch the staple headlining main acts. This year having seen many of the headliners I tried to venture off to see other bands I have been listening to for months, but which I haven't had the opportunity to see live in Dallas. I'll be giving a thorough review of the Lights All Night festival in roughly a week or so because I'll be trekking to the funkiest city in the country to watch Alabama win a National Championship and I need some time to speak with some artists to include interviews in my coverage. Yes, please do check back because I will doing some lengthy interview work particularly with those artists hailing from the great state of Texas (hint... hint... The Nadis Warriors). 
      The interview coverage will be posted as a preview on this site and a full version will appear on TheOtherPerspective.net . This is the same site that featured my coverage of the Lights All Night Preview. For those wondering, yes I did check out those main headliners, but I spent a good deal of time listening to the artists who are just on the verge of really exploding such as Paper Diamond and Govinda.

I will also be posting other New Year's downloads and coverage from bands like Phish and Widespread Panic this afternoon.

More Lights All Night related material will be posted in several hours along with the regular free music downloads provided daily on the site. I'll start by throwing in some Big Gigantic, they killed it on the first night of LAN at the Groove Hall. First though, check out the Paper Diamond clip, he drew a great crowd before Big G.
