Cure for the Mondays: Amplive
Beat Du Jour, Hip Hop
Our new poll got me thinking about Hip Hop recently (reminder: vote in the poll!) and today I’m happy to present fabulous Bay Area Hip Hop producer Amplive! Amplive is best know as the of producer underground Hip Hop group Zion I, but over the last few years he has branched out and done his own work with other rappers. Here are a few of my favorites:
Here Amplive deconstructs MGMT’s “Of Moons and Birds and Monsters” enlisting some great raps from Mistah FAB. I like this remix ten times more than the original… be careful though, it’s crack rock addicting!
MGMT - “Of Moons and Birds and Monsters” - Amplive Commuication Edit
Amplive gets funky here with a great remix of Jamie Lidell, featuring raps from Zion I:
Jamie Lidell - “Out of my System” - Amplive Remix
Around the blogosphere Amplive is probably best know for his fantastic remix EP of Radiohead’s “In Rainbows”. It’s a year old, but in case you haven’t yet heard it here’s a few of my favorite tracks from this now classic release:
Amplive - “Video Tapez” - ft. Del
Amplive - “Reckonerz” - ft. Charli2na
If you don’t have this album but like Radiohead and/or Hip Hop and/or good music, I highly recommend you check it out. We don’t usually provide full albums here at The Beatery, but as this is a bootleg and Amplive released it for free himself we can break the rules just this once

And finally, one of my very favorite Zion I songs, representing the Yay Area!! Happy Monday!
