Not sure if I'd be considered a fly guy with glasses, but this cut from the Fly Guys (aka Kay of The Foundation and Tanya Morgan 's Donwill ) has to be somewhat of an anthem to me - right? Especially with this fly ass beat from The ARE . Looks like RappersIKnow should be/will be dropping a seven-track EP from these two in seven days. My Lord. Get your Dwayne Wayne on ! <p><p&a mp;amp;amp;gt;&amp ;amp;lt;a href=" http://rappersiknow.bandcamp.c om/track/fly-guys-with-glasses ">& amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;quot;Fly Guys With Glasses&am p;quot; by Kay of The [...]

Not sure we've posted any lord of the side chain in 2012. Well, this ends today. Reset are famous for their Italian bangers. Well, you'll be glad to know they haven't mellowed in 2012, their latest remix for Kris Menace's 'We Are' might be their finest remix to date. They've move their bangers on a bit since we last left them. Sure, they'll blow still blow your socks off, but this new remix is like a 2011 Reset track put through an intelligent food blender. It's the musical equivalent of pink slime [...]

The transition from Winter into Spring is always a wonderful thing. While there is much to love about the darkest months of the year, there comes a point when we all need the sunshine, a little bit of light to shine our way. The same, of course, can be said about life itself. We fight through the difficult moments and try to find a way to break through into bigger, better and brighter times. It's these moments that make us who we are and re-define what out lives are really all about. We Are Augustines are certainly a [...]

Artist : We Are Augustines Title : Rise Ye Sunken Ships Label : Oxcart Records Release Date : 5th March (UK release) BUY IT Written by Caitlin Gwynn ' Rise Ye Sunken Ships' is a record that has come out of exceptional circumstances, out of a history that encapsulates betrayal, alcoholism, suicide, depression, and self-destruction. The history [...]

Jessie Ware is a talent to watch. Not only because she has a good ear for beats, but because she is not afraid to delve into sounds that might be deemed by some as dated. On this lovely track Jessie Ware strips down the production to a melody that supports the lyrics. The sound is timeless in doing so, with a tint of nostalgia. The arrangement is nothing new, but it is inspired by vintage material that rarely makes into this decades. Aspects of lounge that have been long gone are revisited and commemorated. A good song for the hour [...]

27th February will see the release of Chapel Song , the new single from Brooklyn's We Are Augustines.

The band play a decent amount of European shows over the next few weeks in support of the release. You can check them out [...]

Not listening to much hip-hop so far this decade? Me neither. Luckily collaborations like this one are attempting to talk the genre off the ledge.

Out of Colorado comes a live two-man production team known as Big Gigantic. Wielding a saxophone and a drumset, this relatively new duo has been proving their dominance this summer at festivals across the country with a jazzified, glitched out dubstep sound. Big Gig has recently been featured on Emancipator's remix album, showcasing their version of Ares . While the original mixdown of the track falls on the downtempo side of things, Big Gigantic funkifies the track over a slick dubstep beat. The duo's signature saxophone plays hard here, but that's not the only telling sign [...]
