Casual drops DJ Daryl (2pac) produced “Rockin Lo Vintage” / “I’m From Oakland”
Hiero crew’s lyrical hitman, Casual returns “Rockin Lo Vintage.” New single (b/w “I’m From Oakland”) was produced by West Coast legend DJ Daryl (who produced Tupac’s “Keep Ya Head Up” as well as for Snoop Dogg, Richie Rich and many more).
Propelled by thick burbling synth-bass the single is sonically classic Bay meshed with Casual’s lifetime passion for Polo wear. Speaking on Lo, he said “when I got my first record deal with Jive in 1993, we had the label advance me $1000 before the funds cleared so I could go to Ralph Lauren. It was a part of Hiero’s everyday wardrobe. In fact if you saw Kanye West’s MTV live performance, he mentioned that the way Souls of Mischief dressed in the 1990s inspired him. That look was Ralph Lauren Polo. Now with Polo showing love to historic Black communities including Morehouse College, Spelman College and Oak Bluffs in their line, I’m showing the love back.”

The single is B/W another DJ Daryl collaboration “I’m From Oakland” which spits much game on Casual (and Hieroglyphics) home turf. Both tracks are available digitally now.
With over thirty years in the game, Casual rode his place into hip-hop history with his braggadocious and highly distinguishable flow. In recent years he has dropped albums focusing on metaphysical and historical topics including the symbiology and cultural inspiration of ancient Egypt and Afrocentric topics.

Nadav Tabak releases hypnotic new single ‘Electric Roots’

International touring musician and multi-instrumentalist Nadav Tabak returns to the UK with his immersive solo project and the release of his new single, ‘Electric Roots’, a powerful instrumental journey blending driving electronic trance with raw, organic instrumentation.
Following years of international touring, Tabak has carved out a distinct sonic identity: a live performance that merges hypnotic beats, tribal textures, and virtuosic guitar work into a dance-floor ritual experience.
Electric Roots represents the core of his sound both literally and metaphorically. The track explores the fusion between the electric world of trance and the rooted, earthy essence of acoustic instruments. Pulsing basslines and driving techno rhythms intertwine with organic timbres, live looping, and expressive instrumentation, creating something that feels both ancient and futuristic.
Unlike traditional DJ sets, Tabak performs entirely live, building layers in real time through looping, percussion, and melodic improvisation. The result is an instrumental experience that is rhythm-driven, immersive, and uniquely his own.
The upcoming UK tour will showcase this evolving sound in intimate venues and festival settings, offering audiences a high-energy, genre-blending performance that moves seamlessly between dancefloor intensity and organic atmosphere.
With Electric Roots, Nadav Tabak continues to push the boundaries between electronic music and live instrumental performance grounding trance in something human, physical, and deeply rooted.
