"Something In the Sky" is a track from the forthcoming Guapo album, Dark Age , which is a project spearheaded by composer and multi-instrumentalist Daniel O'Sullivan. I'm most familiar with his work with Guapo and Sunn O))), but I know he's been involved with the last few Ulver albums as well. I'm also familiar with the previous album O'Sullivan dropped under the Mothlite name, the Flax of Reverie, which is a dark, avant chamber music record with a really moody personality. "Something In the Sky" feels like O'Sullivan is changing direction, and it's no surprise considering it's [...]
We cool? Cool. RULES for uninitiated noobs: I give birth to a weekly Mix Tape to be deposited on your iPods or Zunes or Kingklangs or whatever the industry is currently pushing on you. Sometimes there will be themes that link all the songs together, other times I’ll just throw songs at a wall (not [...]

“You had one job projector guy and ya blew it!” Aight, Shout out to the P&B massive. I’m diving right in cuz there are just so many artists to cover. Let us begin. Martin Solveig My boy and I had just walked in and amidst scoping out the joint, we walked into Martin Solveig mid-set. Yeah, we know “Hello”, but he was playing some of that fierce Dirty Dutch music. Definitely woke us up from our real world [...]

Unreal new track from our boy Strava grinding it out with Guapo and Saidah Conrad (from MTL's new group Ain't No Love).

Ever since the Doomsday event at 1234 I promised Guapo I'd make him a beat. I finally got around to it this summer and this is the result. KING. I was fortunate enough to have Guapo get Saidah of Ain't No Love on this track, who is an unbelievable vocalist. This track will also be included in Guapo's new mixtape. I hope you guys enjoy it. Strava and Guapo of the Saints - King feat. Saidah Conrad Keepin' it heavy. Strava.

Near-repetition in rap production seemed to do wonders for Lex Luger's career. So it makes sense that the producer/rapper team FKi are sticking closely to the formula that they first outlined on Travis Porter's mega-hit ... read more

MOOMBAHTON de la mano del BOOMBAHCHERO en este Vol-1 de las "OG Series" de ORION y GUAPO FEO, con tracks que bastardizan este ritmo acelerado-rebajado-acelerado en tracks imperdibles para bajos tipo "quiebrame los dientes" muy usados en estos dosmiles y pico, y como cereza de este pastel, CABALLO rima en uno de los tracks. MOOMBAHTON taked by the hand with the BOOMBAHCHERO in this Vol.1 of the "OG Series" from ORION and GUAPO FEO, the bastardized tracks of the speed up-slowed down-and re speed tracks with the "broke my teeth" bass alike from this decade music era.

In celebration of the upcoming 200th Sunday Mix Tape, I've decided to spend a few days this week taking a leisurely stroll down memory lane. My memory's lane. I've compiled 199 official Sunday Mix Tapes as well as a few compilations that arrived on a Monday or other random day. It's time to take a look back and examine why this feature has become such a huge success. Since I can't post 200 MP3s this week, I'm going to list what is - in my opinion - the standout track from each installment of the series. About half [...]
Yeah, I know that the categories widget in the right side-bar says that there have already been 187 or 188 Sunday Mix Tapes, but this is number 185. I'm sure of it. Maybe the others weren't official SMTs, because maybe I didn't post them on a Sunday! Did you ever think about that, asshole? Well, think about it, then. I'm perfectly fine just sitting here and waiting for you to finish thinking. I don't have anywhere to be until tomorrow morning. Then I have to work. Ugh. I hate my life. RULES for uninitiated noobs : [...]

This week, we're starting our 2008 music recap. A lot of great albums and tunes graced the year of '08. We're not sure how many shows it will take, but we're going to fit in as many cuts as possible. Of course, this has to start chronologically, so we started off with some of the best releases that opened up this year. It's a podcast from the past!

Neurosis have announced the first batch of bands they handpicked for Beyond The Pail 2009. Akimbo , The Young Gods , Guapo , and U.S. Christmas are scheduled to play at the festival, which goes down on April 25th at the 013 venue in Tilburg, Holland. BTP is a part of the Roadburn 2009 festival. Neurosis leader Steve Von Till had this to say about the event: "The mission of Beyond the Pale is for us to [...]
Listen: Neuorsis- Roadburn 2007 Set [Stream] In a bloodless coup of sorts, Neurosis have taken over a day of the Roadburn Festival . The event titled 'Beyond the Pale' set for April 25th at Tilburg, Holland, will be curated by Neurosis (who will also be performing). The band will be hand selecting the bands to play, and the first four have been announced: The Young Gods , US Christmas , Akimbo , and Guapo . With a total of 15 bands to play, [...]

This week, we've got two very different interpretations of pop from two very different locales. New York City's Mirror Mirror bring a cosmic edge to the ambiance of 60s songwriting with their debut album, The Society for the Advancement of Inflammatory Consciousness . And we also try to fit in as many tracks as possible from Portugal. The Man's new LP, Censored Colors . The Alaska band manages to blend glam and progressive rock elements into a dynamic and well-produced record. We've also got new music from Carlon, Mothlite, the Near Year, [...]
We at the Needle Drop have been known to enjoy the occasional Daniel O'Sullivan side project, and Mothlite is no exception. As it is to be expected, the music is darker than a muddy river and twice as deep. With Antti Uusimaki and a team of collaborators, O'Sullivan embraces his usual zeuhl overtones with haunting chants, lush string sections, and suspenseful chord progressions. The band is streaming two tracks from their new album on their MySpace , and the LP-- the Flax of Reverie --is out now on Southern Records [...]
