I always look forward to hearing new music from Nick Nack. So when I saw he was featured on Exponential Records Texas Compilation I had to check it out. I was not dissapointed. His track 'Life In The Speaker', is one of fourteen, all from Texas based producers. The compilation is free if you download the whole thing. Check the links below & for more Nick Nack on tablist.net go here.

I saw this on the DV message board posted by Airnino. I'm looking forward to checking this out. Its a new mix by Dj D-Styles, 'Sukebe'. With guest scratches by Kurteek. Check the sound & video clips below. It seems to only be available from some Japanese shops for now. I checked Faderonline.com but the site is offline. No dice.
