Former Grampall Jookabox mastermind David “Moose” Adamson, a.k.a. DMA, and Indianapolis-based emcee Oreo Jones dropped a six-track EP titled ‘Highway Hypnosis’. The result definitely retains traces of Adamson’s work as Jookabox, but fine tuned for an emcee. It’s something I can see fans of Shabazz Palaces, Death Grips, anything “based”,[…]
Illuminist Disco Punk duo YACHT bring the protest to the party on “Party at the NSA”, a single made to raise money for the Electronic Frontier Foundation, defenders against the totalitarian surveillance state. You can just listen to it if you want, but downloading it via their “pay what you[…]
The video may be hilariously goofy high camp, but New York’s All Dom Wrong’s “Give Myself Away”, featuring Amy Douglass, is late-entry song of the Summer status! Seriously, this minimal House banger delivers the anthemic vocals and “dark room with deep bass” beats to show all the shitty laser-beam IDM[…]
It’s no secret, I’m old. 35 years old to be exact. And during a majority of those 35 years I’ve spent at least some time playing video games. I started off getting a quick quarter’s worth at the random standup arcade machine in the local convenience store or at bar-table[…]
Midwestern Hellfyre Club representative milo just dropped this Michael Jackson’s “Rock With You” meets ‘Tron’ video clip for his very Serengeti-ish abstract love song “besos”. “besos” is from the smart-guy-rapper’s recently released America-sampling opus ‘Cavalcade’, which is available now for download thanks to the Hellfyre Club and their Bandcamp page.[…]
He’s only 18 years old. He looks like Rick Astley’s little brother. He sounds like Wreckless Eric with a two pack a day habit. He made the best song of 2011, “The Noose of Jah City”. He’s King Krule. And “Easy Easy” is his new single and video. “Easy Easy”[…]
Spark Master Tape ‘The #SWOUP Serengeti’ (.ZIP) MishkaNYC is probably my favorite streetwear brand out. My closet is seriously full of their t-shirts. And they’ve got a great track-record when it comes to releasing music. That Yung Lean nonsense aside. Their newest release, ‘The #SWOUP Serengeti’, comes from Spark Master[…]
So, this video for FKA twigs’ “Water Me” is kinda freaking me out. This girl is absolutely gorgeous. So much so I wondered if she was even real. Then they start warping her face! And the song; it’s like some mutant Post-Dubstep take on an old Janet Jackson ballad, all[…]
The ladies of the all-female, all-keyboard, band Au Revoir Simone are back with a new Summertime-ready single titled “Somebody Who”. It’s sexy, melodic, danceable, and melancholy, all at once; like The Cure gone rollerdisco, or a forlorn Madonna moping around Danceteria. Seems like it’d go real nice in the mix[…]
Here’s the deal…open your eyes…”Your Life is a Lie”…is the new song from those MGMT guys. “Your Life is a Lie” is the first single from MGMT’s forthcoming self-titled third LP. It just might be the catchiest, not to mention most meaningful, bit of musical mindfuckery since Devo. Look for[…]
Boston’s MC Esoteric announced he, Inspectah Deck, and DJ 7L are planning a follow up to this year’s stellar ‘CZARFACE’ collaborative record. They also dropped a new video for “Hazmat Rap” which I must say is a bit on the vanilla side compared to the insane clip for “Air ’em[…]
After a bit of an absence party band extraordinaire King Khan & The Shrines returns with a slow-burning Soul ballad titled “Darkness”. The gorgeously animated stop-motion video takes on mythic proportions, showing a Circus strong-man sending his high-flying friend to the land of judgement. “Darkness” is the first single from[…]
