Announcing the Release of the ‘This One Goes To Eleven…’ Compilation Album

Well it’s finally here!

If you follow me on twitter, personally or my blog or follow me or the blog on Facebook, you’ve been seeing me drop the #DK11 hashtag all over the place for the past few weeks.

So what’s it been all about?? Well, this month marks the 11th anniversary of this here blog. I missed doing something around the more obvious 10th anniversary last year due to life and work issues but, because we do things different here anyway not just in name but in deed too, we decided to make sure and acknowledge this year’s anniversary.

On August 11, we will be releasing This One Goes to Eleven…, a compilation album featuring eleven brand new, exclusive tracks (plus two bonus tracks that have seen only very limited released) by artists who have been long time favorites here at the blog.

To kick it off we have the promo trailer for the very first single from This One Goes to Eleven…, “Known P.S.A.” by Toronto hip-hop duo, The Names Are Known. Hit the jump to watch it and to read the full press release on the album. Then come back tomorrow to hear the full track and then every day after that to hear more tracks from This One Goes to Eleven… before it’s full release on 8.11.14.

[MP3] Get a FREE download of Audego’s ‘Moments’ via KCRW’s Artist You Should Know

New Kitchen favorite, Audego also out of Australia, drop a preview track from their forthcoming but still untitled third album as a free download in KCRW’s Artist You Should Know blog (even though, as much as I imagine Carolyn must be psyched because I know what her musical inspirations from a vocal point of view are, I still think it’s kind of odd describing Audego as an R&B or soul duo. Just sayin’….). Also though, look for something very special from Audego and The Kitchen coming very, very soon. #DK11
