In 2013, it's pretty much a guarantee that you know someone who raps or produces. The increasing availability of methods of making music and promoting it has meant that our social media feeds are occasionally flooded with caps-locked pleas for more listens and downloads, but it has also been responsible for some of the most interesting sounds of the past few years. In the era of retweeting and reblogging, there is a common complaint that our generation is lacking in authenticity and originality. But originality has never been about creating something out of thin air; more often, it's the result [...]

It is safe to say k-os is one of the most expansive hip-hop artists, constantly improving his music with new sounds and initiatives. This obviously inspired buzzing producer Kaytranada , as he has taken to the 2004 Joyful Rebellion cut "Crucial". Bringing about his signature production skills, Kay smooths things out for this underground masterpiece. On Kaytranada's Soundcloud, he urges k-os not to sue him for snagging his original. I have a feeling the Canadian artist will back off on this one, considering how damn slick it came out. Listen to the "Crucial" [...]

Adullessence (1/3 of the O's) leaks a new solo record, "Never Take My Crown."

In early 2010, citing a changing music industry, Toronto rapper k-os proclaimed he was done making albums and instead planed to drop one single at a time ala the Smashing Pumpkins. Until now, he's been a man of his word, releasing the Anchorman mixtape in August 2010, followed by intermittent demos on his Facebook page . In recent months, though, the MC has changed his tune, and now plans on releasing a new album called BLack On BLonde on November 27th. In a behind-the scenes [...]

New track from The O's (Adullessence, Mike Schpitz, Stik Figa), titled "Breakdown."
In a recent report by The Guardian, Sten Garmak, Spotify's director of platform, was quoted saying “we have to turn ourselves into the OS of music.” That phrase might be confusing, because don't operating systems run on computers, and not on the Internet? Garmak was talking about Spotify's ambitious goal ...

Okay you've clicked on this post... you either trust our judgement very much or are here to let us know that this remix isn't going to work. I felt the same way... In fact I got ridiculed every time I listened to a remix of this song. But it was all worth it because I've finally found what I was searching for. Jakob Liedholm transforms this mega hit by Gotye into a Vacayrific dance floor singalong and OS spruces it up perfectly while leaving the essentials untouched. Enjoy! Jakob Liedhol Vitamin [...]
