Listen to Let There Be Horns from The Colossus

Ladies and Gentlebots, RjD2 has a new album and if you haven’t heard it in the two weeks since it’s release, it’s time to get on the wagon.  Or get down off it and boogie.  The master of beats, drum slayer and beat maker is back, and has blessed us with his greatness.  Opening with “Let There Be Horns”, it forces you out of your seat and demands that you boogie-oogie-oogie.  Percussion is the name of the games, jive cats and kittens and RJ knows how to play it in spades.  With solid sampling and delicious drumming this album will redefine your view of electric music and open your eyes to what you could have been enjoying all these years.

Including a sample of the ever enjoyable “Salad Fingers” in “Salud 2″, the album is replete with old and new, shiny and downright dirty… and the dirty is so so good.  All at once soulful and robotic, this album is what the year needed to start out right.  We can now expect so much more from a year with a beginning like this.  Go ahead listen to it all, or, “Let There Be Horns” and then take some time to smell the “Tin Flower” where the album really hits it’s high, the kind of music you could walk down the street to in bellbottoms and star shaped shades, platforms and all.  Enjoy.  Do it for you, do it for me, just don’t do it for free, Artists like this are one in a million, they deserve your funding and believe me, they give back in droves.   If you don’t know who RjD2 is already (FOR SHAME) get in touch and download his newest work, The Colossus available on iTunes for a mere 10 dollars.  It’s going to be possibly the best thing you’ve done on the internet since you typed Trendrobot into your browser.  After you’ve acquainted yourself with the new, get down to the old and start listening to Deadringer.
