It's about time Chris Alfaro announced a new Free The Robots project, as we are constantly craving his jazzy instrumentation. The new project to look forward to is the In Other Worlds EP, which sports the lead single "Transmission". The psychedelic, jazz-driven production is perhaps Alfaro's most expansive work to date. That isn't to say his previous work has been lacking, but something about this track seems more challenging and progressive. Perhaps it is the piano-laden backdrop, or the zoned-out transitions that fade in and out with every lick of the synthesizer. [ via ] Anyway, [...]

Kurt Rockmore, who goes by KURT professionally, is an example of an artist I'd love to hang-out with. He recently emailed Winnie Cooper with "Humble Approach" as the subject line, even though he's opened for such acts as J.Cole, Ryan Leslie, Yo Gotti, Iggy Azeala, Joey Badass, and Action Bronson. His latest project - entitled Red Carpet Ignorance - was written entirely by KURT and features Bun B on the track Don't Need 'Em . He fuses hip-hop with R/B to create something that is lyrically honest but still worthy of mainstream attention. KURT is not only a [...]
I spoke to Cologne-based artist Bob Humid about his various work, and in particular his mastering: techno producers beware! There's a mix at end featuring dubstep and D&B too. DB: Hello... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]
It has been quite the birthday for the Chicago native and MMG Warner Music recording artist Rockie Fresh . Not one to sit idle even on his birthday he released his latest mixtape ironically titled The Birthday Tape . So I guess we can treat it as a gift to his fans for constantly supporting him and allowing him to constantly pursue his dreams. After listening to the tape from start to finish this is undoubtably my favorite project from Rockie Fresh to date! With features from Rick Ross, Lunice, and GunPlay as well as [...]

Tallinn Music Week celebrated its fifth birthday last week and marked its presence as one of the premier showcase events in the more discerning music fan's calendar. 233 artists from 20 countries were present for the event, performing across a variety of bars, caves, pubs, clubs and even shopping centres. Since emerging from Soviet rule in 1991, Estonia has edged ever forward to its current status as a progressive, vibrant and highly developed nation. It's known as one of the most wired countries in the world and enjoys a [...]
Promo Mix: PitchOn - 01 (Further Reading). Genre: Deep Minimal Tech.

Rayos Laser es una agrupación que nació en Córdoba y, poco a poco, se logró hacer un lugar en la escena de Argentina. Hoy se trata de una de las agrupaciones que más prometen y posee un disco homónimo volador, tranquilo, con momentos increíbles y un sonido popero con sintetizadores y un tanto psicodélico con letras pacíficas. Tanto creció y tanto se estableció que ahora Rayos Laser toca con Keane . El 11 y 12 de abril la banda británica se presentará en el Luna Park bajo el marco de su gira internacional que [...]
i reckon if Mazzy Star had released something on Alec Empire's DHR it would have sounded something like this groovesome nugget From Double Hallucinative

Find out what's new and hot with our bi-weekly local music roundup. NJACKO BACKO / ICI BAS, RIEN N'EST IMPOSSIBLE / FEBRUARY 22 "Tu Es Mon Coeur," the first single off of Njacko Bakco's new album Ici Bas , is the theme song for optimism. I almost added that optimism is the best antidote for existentialism, but on further reflection I don't think the two have to be mutually exclusive. After all the "benign indifference of the universe" might as well be filled [...]

Rachel Evans (Motion Sickness of Time Travel) Does the word "ambient" mean anything to you in 2012? It seems as though its usage becomes more and more scarce as the years go by. One might even call it out of fashion. Artists and journalists seem to be slightly squicked out by it. "Drone," a vaguer and less informative term, is more favored by the newer generation of artists and listeners. But despite these apparent trends against the A-word, the music itself is probably as big and [...]

The following is a list of the music that, in a lot of ways, I didn't spend enough time with. It's been a busy year around these parts. The list constitutes positions 31 through 50 of my year-end favorites. I'm pretty sure any one of these albums, given some more time, would have ended up in the top 30. As it is, here is a twenty-way tie for thirty-first place (in descending order). The 2012 Forest Gospel year-end list (in music) is coming soon... 31. [...]

Dimanche matin oblige, changement de registre donc… Place au groupe belge The Go Find et leur voluptueux album « Everybody Knows It’s Gonna Happen Only Not Tonight » sorti en 2010 dans lequel on peut trouver le morceau du même nom en version live-studio. Délicieusement aérienne et apaisante, cette electro-pop ne vous laissera surement pas indifférent, surtout à l’heure du café et des tartines… Sans oublier la version originale à découvrir également ce matin. Doux Dimanche. —————————— —————————— —————————— ——— [...]

Since being signed to G.O.O.D. Music back in 2007, Big Sean has had a steady rise finding mainstream success with out losing his original fan base. Sean has been featured on some of the biggest hip-hop tracks in the last couple of years and, with the help of Kanye West , emerged as a consistently relevant artist. Best known for his witty wordplay and experimental flows, the Detroit native has been a very valuable asset to the G.O.O.D. team. On his latest mixtape, dedicated to his home city, he draws in help from a ridiculous [...]
