I Heart Lung - “Interoceans Remixed”, Feat. Radioinactive, Omid, Jel, Awol One, Serengeti [album download]
Following up the Jel + Awol One + Serengeti track we posted a few days ago: I Heart Lung are a jazz duo with ties to L.A. underground hip-hop. Consisting of Chris Schlarb on guitar and Tom Steck on drums, the duo’s new album, Interoceans, is set for release on September 23rd via Asthmatic Kitty Records. The four song, forty-plus minute drone opera (sans vocals) also features Nels Cline, from Wilco, amongst others.
As Interoceans neared completion, producer Chris Schlarb put together two lists. One contained names of his favorite hip-hop producers and M.C.’s. The other was an index of his top experimental electronic and ambient artists. The concept was simple; each list would reimagine Interoceans’ four tracks, with Schlarb serving as executive producer. Interoceans Remixed includes collaborations with Jel, Awol One, Serengeti, Radioinactive, Omid, Bizzart, Greg Davis, and more!
Interoceans Remixed is now available as a free download courtesy of Asthmatic Kitty Records. (read more)

“An ILL BILL verse has never been an aimless journey through 16 bars, but rather a threatening configuration of worldview, conspiracy theories, street corner politics and real-life experiences, and this album is no exception. Topics such as the war in Iraq, the unsettling and disturbing subject of racism, the senseless shootings at Virginia Tech University, the state execution of Stanley “Tookie” Williams and countless others surface, minus any air of exploitation, but with a slash of brutal awareness of challenging times.”
