SXSW preview: san serac

Recently I've had a few friends with fairly discriminating taste recommend San Serac's mostly overlooked 2007 album, Professional, and now I can't get enough of the man's self-described "blood house electrofunk jams." He's been likened to Bowie on more than one occasion, and Fluxblog referenced "Steppin' Out" when describing this particular track. Both comparisons are apt, since this is about the classiest dance record I've heard in ages. Sorry I slept on this for so long, Mr. Serac.

Get Professional on emusic. San Serac is allegedly even better live, which works out well because he's playing Central Booking's SXSW day party on Saturday, March 15, at Whisky Bar in Austin, along with new Fader cover-band BLK JKS, Ghosthustler, The Party DJs, and more.

So, Jason Kidd is apparently not very good at rapping. I mean we're psyched to have him back here in Dallas and all that, but this collab with the Digital Underground's Money B. -- recorded in 1994 during Kidd's first stint in Dallas -- is terrible, even by rapping-NBA-star standards. Granted, it's no Ron Artest, but that generic P-funk beat and Kidd's cringe-worthy lyrics and awful flow...not recommended. At all. Thanks to JP33 for sending over this link:
