[Listen Up] 2 Days in a row Mark Ronson leaks tracks from upcoming record - 'Daffodils (feat. Kevin Parker of Tame Impala)'

I just want to share great music, that's all! Please release a high quality version from an official source and I'll repost that!

Mark Ronson and Tame Impala's Kevin Parker have teamed up for "Daffodils", which appears on Ronson's forthcoming album Uptown Special. It premiered this afternoon on Zane Lowe's BBC Radio 1 show. Listen to it above, via Stereogum. Update 11/11 7:15 AM EST: A higher-quality version has surfaced. Listen above.

The album is out January 27, 2015. Parker sings on three songs, and contributes instrumentation to several others. Somewhat randomly, most of the album's lyrics were written by novelist Michael Chabon. (When you've won a Pulitzer you can do whatever you want, it seems.) Hudson Mohawke, Miike Snow's Andrew Wyatt, and Simian Mobile Disco's James Ford also contributed to the album. 

Earlier yesterday, Ronson released his single "Uptown Funk", which features Bruno Mars. (No Chabon didn't write the lyrics for this one.) You can listen to that one HERE.

Mark Ronson roars back on to the scene with the shiny new dance-floor freaker “Uptown Funk” featuring r&b wunderkind Bruno Mars. The new record, 'Uptown Special', will be released in January, and lead single 'Uptown Funk' is streaming now below.

Tame Impala's Kevin Parker, Simian Mobile Disco's James Ford, Miike Snow's Andrew Wyatt, Hudson Mohawke and DJ Zinc will all feature on the LP, as well as Bruno Mars, who appears on 'Uptown Funk'.

I guess we all knew the super-producer and his pint-sized performer had been sippin’ on the purple stuff for some time now, but this thing would have even Morris Day asking what time it is. What’s more, the duo will be hitting Saturday Nigh Live on November 22nd to perform their shimmering boogie single. No word on whether either of them have anything on the way in the form of an album, but you know where to get the scoop when the grapevine starts chirping. Listen to Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars’ “Uptown Funk” below and grab a copy of the single on iTunes today.

Meet D-NICE - Coming to The Lodge At RedRocks June 7th

D-NICE is a DJ, producer, rapper, photographer and true gentlemen. Growing up in the Bronx, D-Nice emerged as a rapper and producer in the late 80s as part of Boogie Down Productions (BDP) where he was mentored by the late DJ Scott La Rock and developed his talent as a teenager alongside rap legend KRS- One. He then began to expand his production by working solo with Queen Latifah. D-Nice is also credited as discovering Kid Rock, while producing his early work as well. In the 90s, D-Nice released two solo albums with Jive records, including the hit single "Call Me D-Nice," which reached the top of Billboards rap chart. In the late 00’s, inspired by his peers, Q-Tip, Mark Ronson, and DJ Cassidy, D-Nice begin to elevate himself as the world renowned DJ he is today. He’s since rocked parties on every corner of the globe with and for the likes of Stevie Wonder, Mariah Carey, Will Smith, Billy Joel, Rihanna, Prince, Kid Rock, Wiz Khalifa, Russell Simmons, Zac Posen and many more. He is also part of the highly respected NYC quarterly called “The Originals” which is an event made up of himself and DJ’s Clark Kent, Rich Medina, Stretch Armstrong & Tony Touch.  But like any modern day renascence man, D-Nice has expanded his art beyond music in other avenues, such as visual art whereas photography has given him the chance to catalog his life and experiences along the way.  

I am personally lucky enough to bring great artists that I truly respect to this amazing city of ours. That being said, The Joodlum Group and THE LODGE AT REDROCKS is very proud to have D-NICE on Saturday June 6th, alongside JEROME BAKER III and The Lodge resident, SHARKEY. Action starts at 8pm. NO COVER! Event Link HERE.
