Rare Earth



Rare Earth is an American rock band affiliated with Motown's Rare Earth record label (which was named after the band), who prospered in 1970-1972. Although not the first white band signed to Motown, Rare Earth was the first big hit-making act signed by Motown that consisted only of white members.

Blazing Arrow, title track from the duo's second official album, above. Below, my personal favorite track from the album, Make You Feel That Way; the horns in this song are fire.

DJ Krust



An English Drum & Bass Producer (which is a genre not unlike but very much separate from dubstep and electronic). Also, not to be confused with DJ Krush (see post below)

Watermelon Man - The Herbie Hancock Group

DJ Krush



Killer Producer. Can't help but love this beat and/or rap right here. Mr. Lif (a la Def Jux Records) is the featured vocalist here
