15 years, 5 albums, and many singles after his debut release, Ubiquity is delighted to release a “best of” which includes previously unreleased materials, hard to find mixes, and the tracks which made Greyboy famous as the originator of a new laid back, sunny, jazz and soul-inflicted West Coast sound. 15 Years of West Coast Cool includes appearances from Sharon Jones, Quantic, AG (of Showbiz and AG), Bart Davenport (of Honeycut), Shawn Lee, Nino Moschella, Jeremy Ellis and others.

BUY CLUTCH OF THE TIGER DIGITALLY AT:



Clutch of the Tiger sounds like a collection of film-noir tracks run through the Clutchy Hopkins and Shawn Lee magical music machine. It’s dusty and mysterious junkyard jazz that’s powered by sly beats and other-worldly funk. Famous comic book creator Jim Mahfood (who has worked on Spiderman/Marvel, Clerks, Grrl Scouts, Stupid Comics, among others) liked the tunes so much he provided the killer artwork for the package! FYI - Inside the album is a hidden code that gives customers a deal on limited edition prints of the Mahfood artwork, available exclusively from the Ubiquity website.

But how did this record come to be? Does Shawn Lee know the identity of the mysterious Mr Hopkins? Read on brothers and sisters ...

BUY HIGHLANDS DIGITALLY AT:



"It is one of the finer moments of 2008 and goes far to create its own space, where electronica kisses folk and soul in a new urban Americana."
- All Music

"... a tone that recalls a subdued Ben Harper, Aaron spins husky, soulful tales of love and life over sparsely built, echoing soundscapes, chilled reggae rhythms and pulsing, synthesized, moulded hip-hop beats."
-Exclaim! Canada

Highlands is an album of bittersweet cosmic campfire electronics and melancholic dreams. Song-writer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist, Damon Aaron, pens love songs and personal anecdotes that float over spacey hip hop beats and polished bass-lines. He cuts and pastes-in swirling strings and acoustic guitars that decorate his minimal sound-scapes and cast light on traditional folk and songwriting roots.

TO PURCHASE / VIEW DESIGNS : CLICK HERE

For Fall 2008 we have 17 new designs available. Remembering the first time they heard their favorite band, were hit by a dirty bass line, or just couldn’t get that song out of their heads, the designers came through with a barrage of personal shouts to the gift of music. And speaking of gifts, all of our tees now include a hangtag with a download code redeemable at iTunes for 5 FREE TRACKS from our favorite albums and exclusives from forthcoming releases!

In addition to new designs our shirts have also been upgraded. Our Men’s blanks are 32/1 100% Cotton - which is technical-talk for the shirts being a few shades softer. And while we’ve upped the comfort level the Men’s shirts remains a slim-cut while the Women’s are always form flattering. Fall colors are brightened with splashes of bright accents and bold hues that break up the earthy tones.

While the majority of the line was designed in-house (by Ashkahn and Enrique), other contributors include Tishon, Matthew Langille, Derek Duder and Kelly D. Williams. With a combined resume that includes designs for companies as disparate as Vans and Marc Jacobs their sonic salutes are sure to keep you moving to the rhythm of life.

BUY L.A. INSTRUMENTAL DIGITALLY AT:



James Hardway works most often with cool textures cutting his own path on a genre-defying jazz funk excursion that echoes the punk-soul of James Blood Ulmer, evokes the spirit of Fela Kuti's epic jams and is infused with a Cali bounce.

“I have always been influenced by the atmosphere of Los Angeles , says Hardway. “James Ellroy, my favorite writer , was a great inspiration for early albums . But I began imagining a whole later period of LA music from the early 70s and with LA Instrumental. It’s like a journey to the downtown LA of the 70s using a classic musical pallet of real drums, silken strings , pulsing wurlitzers and Theremins.”

BUY EYES AND EARS DIGITALLY AT:



This digital-only single features Ohmega Watts teaming up with Lex Records recording artist Jneiro Jarel (Shape Of Broad Minds) and see’s their “Eyes and Ears” collab get an exclusive remix by Clutchy Hopkins. Also included is an instrumental version of the mix, and a 10+ minute live performance with Ohmega Watts and DJ Bombay ripping things up for WUAG in North Carolina.

The release of this digi-single is timed with the release of a video for “Eyes and Ears” which features Watts in back to school mode!

Clutchy Hopkins completely switches up the track to his style – it’s laid back but nasty, with live keys and a koto adding a nice twist to the original vibe. The instrumental sounds like pure Clutchy! On the live medley Watts rapidly makes his way though many tracks from his back catalog, assisted by the manic turntablism of DJ Bombay. This improvised live session was recorded on the spot at WUAG radio in North Carolina.
