Ancient Astronauts Mix It Up was a top story for this week. Here it is again: (ESL) With a little under a month to go before ESL drops the Ancient Astronauts intergalactic masterpiece 'We Are To Answer' on June 9th, the space dwelling duo hurl an exclusive mix towards our little green and blue planet! Entitled 'Heart of the Future,' the hour plus mix is the perfect precursor to their debut full length, and serves as an important introduction to understanding the influences of Kabanjak and Dogu. From old school hip hop legends, to new school deep beat masters, the mix skips in and out of genres lacing hints of reggae with thick slabs of funk, creating an overarching vibe of just damn good summer hanging music.Marking a foray into new territory for ESL, the Ancient Astronauts debut album 'We Are To Answer' is a melting pot of funk, dub reggae, and pure unadulterated hip-hop. Featuring vocal collaborations with Bootie Brown and Imani of legendary hip hop group the Pharcyde, Azeem, Tippa Irie, Bajka, Phat Old Mamas, Ulf Stricker, Raashan Ahmad and Entropik, 'We Are To Answer' is a block rockin' boom-bappin' sonic tour-de-force! Having already remixed Fort Knox Five, Up Bustle & Out, Ladybug Mecca of Digiable Planets, Zion I, and Dr. Rubberfunk, the duo spent the last year putting their cosmic production skills to use crafting their genre splicing masterpiece debut. The tracks on the album exhibit a melding of old school hip-hop, funk and dub reggae with forward-thinking flair and production technique. The end result is a stunning debut, a genre-defining album. - more on this story
