Music You Will Need to Know

The Heliocentrics have provided drums for several HipHoppers you already know, as well as being the backup band for DJ Shadow in the studio and on stage (when you're lucky).

StonesThrow Records, the great people who brought us the Kashmere Band (reprint), Madlib, and the late (but not forgotten) J-Dilla, should not be ignored. Check out their site and see (hear?) why I'm bobbing my head.

In case it isn't apparent, these guys get the djconnor seal of approval, for whatever it's worth. Check it. Hitting the pavement on September 25th.
