After being premiered on FACT Magazine less than two weeks ago, Black Noi$e pulls out a stellar new promotional video to keep the buzz going around his $$$ EP. We couldn't be more proud of the way that this free EP came out, and we are particularly excited to see the reception it has received thus far. With three shape-shifting solo instrumentals and two tracks seeing assistance from Jay Cue and Brains respectively, $$$ is just the beginning of what is to come in 2013 from the dynamic Potholes Music producer. [...]
I know I could probably say this every week but damn, this past week was so killer for new music and news in general. Jai Paul's whole album-but-not-really news ran the show for a few days, as did all the fake leaks of Daft Punk's new single with Pharrell and Nile Rodgers. Thankfully, that track, "Get Lucky", finally arrived . Still, all of that was sort of eclipsed by De La Soul's comeback, Thundercat's sophomore LP announcement , and the possible return of Quasimoto . Speaking of Lord Quas, we wrote about him [...]
We are very proud to bring you Detroit-based producer Black Noi$e 's debut release on Potholes Music, the $$$ EP. FACT described lead single "Jester" as "uneasy" and a "treat for fans of off-kilter beats that bounce"-we couldn't agree more. That sentiment rings true across much of $$$ , a five-track foray into sounds Black Noi$e calls on as inspiration. There are distinct house and techno influences running through the EP, though hip-hop pokes its head through on closing track "Win Win". It's a collaboration with fellow Potholes Music artist Jay Cue [...]
Today we share with you a new offering from Potholes Music's Black Noi$e, which sets in motion the $$$ EP promotional tear. While we are going to have to wait until next week to share with you the entire project, the first single is now available thanks to the good folks at FACT Magazine . It is called "Jester", and it packs a heavy dose of wobbling bass and slapping snare taps. The perfect track to blast you off into the weekend. Black Noi$e's $$$ EP drops next week, April 16, via Potholes [...]

"'96 Knicks" serves two distinct purposes for Queens crew World's Fair. For one, it's the final leak off the Peter Rosenberg-hosted mixtape New York Renaissance , which drops tomorrow. Additionally, the straight-up burner of a track is the lead single from the collective's upcoming album, Bastards of the Party . Oh, and did I mention that it's produced by Potholes Music's own Black Noi$e ? Chyeah. Listen below. Gotta love that 50 Cent/Camp Lo-inspired hook.
![Deniro Farrar – The Patriarch [Album]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4825925_lg.jpg)
As I understood it, Charlotte rapper Deniro Farrar was going to drop an EP the week of SXSW . And, sure enough, he did release something to kick off the Austin, Texas festivities. But this ain't no EP; The Patriarch is essentially an album of all-new material. You'll find the previously shared (and awesome) " Fears " and "Kill Your Idol" along with collaborations with his usual killer cast of producers: Ryan Hemsworth , Keyboard Kid , and Potholes Music 's own Black Noi$e and BK Beats .

Move over industry heads, a new wave of producers are creeping in under the limelight. Just as shadows are known to do. A talented cast of artists and producers have pieced together a 14-track showcase that serves as a template for the future. Shadows comes courtesy of Marinate Media,... The post Marinate Media Presents: Shadows [Album Stream] appeared first on Noise Collective .
Potholes Music own's Black Noi$e is back at it with like-minded producer Skywlkr . Previously, they took to reworking some tracks off Death Grips' ExMilitary . And now, they're on their remix tip again, transforming grime rapper Tempa T's "Say It Right Now" into a balls-out banger. They have really made it their own, too, though I don't totally understand the artwork. WHY IS ASHLEE SIMPSON LOOKING AT ME?! Download: Black Noi$e & Skywlkr - "I Don't Care" [Mediafire]
It was a weird week these past seven days or so. Big Baby Gandhi decided that it was time to hang it up , an unearthed Jimi Hendrix track leaked that was pretty damn great, and David Bowie broke his silence with a reflective new single . Oh, and Justin Timberlake owned the Internet when sources said he was dropping a track with Jay-Z and (probably) Beyonce. Then, we found out that he has a new album produced by Timbaland on the way. While we have to wait a lil' bit more for the [...]
When he's not holding it down as the reviews editor here at Potholes, Seth Lopez runs his own music blog, Marinate Media. And today, they're releasing their first compilation, Shadows , featuring a slew of talented producers. Some of the names will be familiar to our readers— Do$age , Action Bastard , and Potholes Music's own Black Noi$e —while others will be introduced to your ears with Shadows . We can't think of a better way of doing so, especially considering how fucking wavy this shit is. You can stream and/or download the project [...]
South African producer DJ Spoko is back with a remix of Sun Airway’s "Black Noise." Weird choice, but okay! Spoko adds layers of percussion, dubs the vocals into distant clips of sound, and then compresses ... read more
Sun Airway: Soft Fall - Beginning with a 53 second instrumental introduction, it is clear that Soft Fall is the gentle hand extending to lead you out of the darkness. The new album by Sun Airway is a continuous stream with an occasional flittering that creates ripples jolting you out of reality. The evolution of Soft Fall comes with the promise of a delirious perception prompting even the dreariest cynic to feel a twinge of something resembling emotion. Based out of Philadelphia, Jon Barthmus and Patrick Marceill formed the [...]
It seems like we can't go a day without posting about Danny Brown, who is without question one of our favorite rappers here at Potholes. And a big reason for his prevalence these days is steeped in two distinctive occurrences: a wealth of hilarious interview clips and perhaps even more remixes of his work. The latter continues to gain traction as producers happen upon his a cappellas and stems of his 2012 single, "Grown Up". Those vocal tracks made their way to the Internet when his label, Fool's Gold Records, pressed last year's stellar XXX to vinyl [...]
The second single from Philly collective Sun Airway's forthcoming Soft Fall LP has just hit the interwebs. "Black Noise" is a catchy upbeat popper complete with the band's signature psychedelic flare. Pick up the track on the new album October 2nd via Dead Oceans and be sure to catch Sun Airway on tour with M83 this fall. Sun Airway ( Official ) Rating 8.4
Have you heard the latest from Sun Airway ? We saw " Close " a little while back, but now here's "Black Noise" off the album Soft Fall , out October 2, 2012 on Dead Oceans. Jon Barthmus describes the track as "a love song to the silence of a radio turned to dead air" and as "unintentionally the most 'pop' thing he's ever done. The band begins their fall tour with M83 in Miami tonight, plus upcoming tourdates with Pure Bathing Culture in October.
