With a digital presence as sparse as their ethereal R&B, Project Maldonado are days away from being the next big thing. You heard it here first…after I heard it on Earmilk . Their debut EP, and its enticingly stellar first track "Seraphim", is a testament to meticulously crafted rhythm and blues. Parts Citizen Cope, parts Damian Marley, parts something else indescribably soulful. Little internet birdies are chirping that this might be the work of English musician Liam Bailey , but I am basing that purely on hearsay, so take that with a [...]
Director: Andy Capper Cast: Snoop Dogg, Dr.Dre, Daz Dillinger, Diplo, Damian Marley, Bunny Wailer Certificate: TBC Running Time: 96 minutes Release: March 22 Last summer, Calvin Broadus shocked the music world when he told us he was no longer a doggy dog, he had now been reborn a proud lion. And to go with his new moniker, he would be taking a new outlook on his musical output, he would embrace his desire to make the music of the Rastafari, reggae. Absconding to Jamaica for a spiritual journey and to record his [...]
Cypress Hill, Rusko - Can't Keep Me Down ft. Damian Marley Music video by Cypress Hill, Rusko performing Can't Keep Me Down. (C) 2012 Cooperative Music
Last night, Sound Academy hosted Diplo's Mad Decent dancehall collective Major Lazer playing to a sold out crowd of rabid fans in the latest episode of their 2013 Free the Universe world tour. The team absolutely blew the roof off with an explosive, unforgettable performance packed with new jams and timeless classics. For the uninitiated: " Major Lazer is a fictional cartoon character, who fought as a Jamaican commando and lost both arms in a secret zombie war in 1984. He fights vampires and various monsters, parties hard, [...]
A noite da diversidade nos prêmios e nos shows. O Grammy Awards , em sua 55ª edição, procurou agradar todos estilos, mas ao contrário do ano passado em que trouxe um elenco de peso que contava do Paul McCartney , Bruce Springstee n, Beach Boys e tantos outros, a festa preferiu mostra que não só de medalhões se faz a música. Com nomes que buscam refrescar o cenário como Frank Ocean , Mumford & Sons , fun. , e Black Keys , a festa até pode ser um teste de resistência [...]

This track really shows you the depth of Skrillex's abilities. He is looking at all musical possibilities and exploring them without any concern for what the troves of dubstep fans say about him. Hints of this work can be found in the break in Devil's Den which posted here . My basic opinion is that while I do not automatically love everything Skrillex does, I findf him causing me to think about how the future of music must be viewed more than any other artist. Others are pushing music in new directions, but Skrillex is blowing it up in [...]

Welcome ladies and gentlemen… to part 2 of the bass music awards! I will be your host, as we delve into the year’s best releases, and crown 2012′s ‘King of Bass’. Identified by it's chopped up "glitchy" qualities, hip-hop's electro fused cousin has seemingly become a term that also covers the "in-betweeners" of various genres, and in the same way appeals to a variety of crowds. Many artists have been putting out work in this direction for awhile now, but the style has made it's [...]
It's inevitable that countdowns will always spark controversy, that's just the nature of the beast. Some tracks will be snubbed, some overlooked, and some ranked higher than you may have expected. We've already gone over our ranking criteria at length but despite our own self-imposed guidelines , 2012 proved to be more difficult to rank than years past. With the EDM explosion officially in full swing throughout the year, the sheer number of releases was mind numbing, and - consequently - nearly impossible to rank. There has been no greater challenge for [...]

The weekend has come and gone, and now you're deep into your weekly grind. Never fear, Wobble Wednesday is back with more of your favorite face-melting bass drops to help you make the most of your mundane lifestyle. Today I'll be guiding you along through the many variations of bass music that we see these days, new and old. I wanted to turn the Wobble Wednesday feature into more than just a section for today's dubstep, so I decided it was only right to incorporate some drum & bass as well as a summer time mix of the week section [...]
The post work on this video is ridiculous! This song is off the Rusko and Cypress EP which was release a few months ago but just gets a visual treatment today. Check it out
Clash of the Genres: West Coast Hip Hop meets English Dubstep meets Jamaican Reggae on the track "Can't Keep Me Down." The track features the musical talents of Cypress Hill and Rusko whom were brought together on their unique collaboration EP and have since released the video, which is reminiscent of old-school Grand Theft Auto with a drop of Acid (kids, just say no).
