Late Bloomers - Communicating without conversation

ENGLISH: Late Bloomers are at this stage of their career when they are still honestly excited that they are able to connect musically with their listeners on a personal level. The fact that they like to imagine their fans as 18-24 year old Filipino girls with a secret thing for Tyrese and old Dilla tapes, certainly does not make it less cool. Judging by their “no bullshit” attitude, they will stay forever inspiringly fresh. And that is why it is so easy to treat them just like you ‘ol good peeps. Tho' not the ones that get high and start yapping but those who get high and get the beats, rhymes and even hooks done! Inspired, more or less consciously, by everything from Sa Ra to Shania Twain (yeah, guess it might have been the Sa Ra bit rather than Shania that caught our attention...) but also the California’s finest blend of weather, beautiful women, fashion, Mary Jane & food, Late Bloomers know that they are often labelled as a “Sa-Ra and Tribe Called Quest Hybrid”. Which actually might be considered by many as compliment rather than just another label. Although they revolve in the close proximity of the epicentre of the LA sound, they simply claim that they are from “the scene where we create something that will change lives and last forever”. Well if you're reading this than chances are that you already know the sound of that "scene" very well. And if you happen to know what Sour Diesel, Triple X Afghani, Bull Rider, Headband, & LA Confidential are then yeah, consider yourself fucking blessed and read on the interview with totally open minded and extraterrestially gifted NON-STOP, F.OLK & REALLY NATHAN.

Mono/Poly

If there is a beat version of hide-and-seek, Mono/Poly is the master of this game. Listening to his tracks works like this: First you get this ultra-modern nod factor so distinctive for the so-called “beat generation” and perfected by people such as Flying Lotus, Ras G, SAMIYAM or Mono/Poly himself. Then, underneath there are these no-bullshit melodieeees that really make you think that even when the whole hype around the beat music, or whatever we call it, is over, this guy will be still doing his thing: damn good tunes! Some kind of duality seems to be Mono’s trademark. When we were talking on music-related subjects he had “I’d rather make some music than talk about it” attitude, but as soon as the political issues came up we touched his more talkative side and you know what? Mono/Poly might be just 21 years old but he definitely knows what’s the name of the game! As for his music, just check out what “the LA’s craziest” Mother Fucking Gaslamp Killer has to say about the latest EP GeorgeMachine: “This 12″ will leave you flat on the floor making an ugly face”. Spot on, spot on!
