The Audible Treats Alert
07.10.2007
Iller Than Theirs is Tone Tank and Krayo put together. They're both from Brooklyn, and with J. Howells Werthman and Snafu (Junk Science) on production, they make hip-hop music that is, well, iller. Iller than whose? Iller than yours, if your raps are all phony and lifeless and corporate. Their self-titled debut, Iller Than Theirs, comes out this September. Lucky you, though, because you can listen to a stream of the first single Razor Bumps right here, right now! Just how ill is it? We upload, you decide.

Shoutout to Switchstance Recordings
So in this alert we're gonna show some love for the fellas out at the Switchstance Recordings collective. These are some German skater/boarder types who do real slick beats in all sorts of genres: hip-hop, electro, downtempo breaks - I'm not gonna lie, it's pretty damn funky. Even if club music isn't your style, you should check them out.
Mmm mmmmmm... crunchy, smooth, trans-Atlantic beats...

Gaze Upon The Moch. Love the Moch. Vote for the Moch.
"Mochi is a dreamer who's livin' his dream. He encourages you to do the same."
"Mochi once saved my entire family from a burning building, cured a man of blindness, and built a bridge to the 21st Century...on his cuteness.:
"When the 'moch steps on the block, all the local dogs stop/
Tongues out floppin, tails waggin, watchin him walk/
Collar so fly all the girl pups say/
'Mochi's the hottest dog in all of BK!"
Nobody does it like Mochi does it.
You may know Mochi from the Audible Treats website - he's our resident office guard dog. His charm and good looks have gained him entry into a competition on the Brooklyn Inudstries (local clothing company for those not in the NYC area) website.
If he wins, they will produce t-shirts with his silhouette that will be available in all of the stores. We will become rich on royalties from his image rights.
Not really.
But it would be awesome to see him on a shirt regardless, right? So if you love Audible Treats and have some extra time, go and leave a comment about him. The dogs with the most comments will then be entered into a runoff vote.
