|| Mochipet Preps Microphonepet on XLR8R ||

No one does futuristic, weirdo hip-hop quite like David Wang under his Mochipet guise, and come April, fans will have an entire album's worth of the stuff when he releases Microphonepet through his Daly City Records imprint.

A sneak peek at the album tells us this release is going to be packed with danceable rhythms, silly rapping, and strange noises. Jahcoozi, Dopestyle, The Freshest Kids, Casual & Opio (of Hieroglyphics), and Meanest Man Contest all make appearances on the disc. No word on the tracklisting yet, but we'll keep you posted.

Meanwhile, Europe is getting a taste of Wang's live performances as he travels through the continent. Catch him at one of these dates:

Dopestyle's - 'Little Happy/Fool's Pool' Moves from #13 to #8 at CMJ Hip Hop (3rd week!!) Great week again! Hopping into the the Top 10 on the Hip Hop charts, the record has hit full stride. People seem really happy to be getting more abstract goodness from Daly City and Dopestyle fits right in. The fact that the record has climbed consistently is a great sign that more and more people have taken notice to the albums and the double disc no doubt helps djs have plenty to choose from. -Terrorbird

|| Girls Love Breakcore Review on Vibes.net! ||

Sarà pure opinabile il fatto che tutte le ragazze amino il Breakcore, ma il modo in cui lo fa questo ragazzotto nippocaliforniano (di cui abbiamo già ampiamente parlato in un passato neanche troppo remoto) è assolutamente sublime, perchè esalta quel minestrone frullato che sintetizza l'entità sottesa dalla designazione. Il breakcore nasce come un'esasperazione della jungle, in cui vengono letteralmente tritat... Read the Review of Girls Love Breakcore Review on Vibes.net!

Dopestyle 'Little Happy/Fool's Pool' - #2 most added at CMJ Hip Hop (47 adds)!! YESSS! Dopestyle nabbed the #2 most added spot at Hip Hop behind only the new Def Jux release with over half of the reporting panel adding the record. This is a GREAT start and we hope to get people excited about some Bay Area ish. Some Hip Hop MDs were around for the record with KutMasta Kurt so hopefully that will help parlay into some great results in the near future. -Terrorbird
