The Last Great" is MaLLy & The Sundance Kid 's newest and most impressive release. Breaking out of the what Slug of Atmosphere calls the over-saturated Minneapolis hip-hop scene, the duo has become the next big thing in Minneapolis. The album is sample free boom-bap and has features from Truth Be Told of The Tribe & Big Cats! , K.Raydio , Claire De Lune and Brother Ali . It's my opinion that Minneapolis is on the verge of a fundamental shift in sound and attitude. For [...]

It is with a heavy heart that I relinquish my title as general manager of WKNC on May 20. My tenure as general manager would not have been made possible without the advice, positive reinforcement, and generosity of my fellow staff members, advisors, and the community at large. I am certain that DJ Ones, the next general manager at WKNC, will continue to make WKNC the best radio station in the world. I want to take the last local lunch shift of my time here at WKNC to thank all of the amazing local bands who [...]

There's more to this mix than a well-curated assortment of dance tracks cleverly arranged with clean transitions. There's a clear concept and a spirit behind what Miami-based DJ Santiago Caballero puts out. Months in the making, this mix coincides with the relatively new weekly party in the Miami scene lewdly titled Slap & Tickle . Curiously held on notoriously challenging Tuesday nights, S&T is a dancer's dance party. Resident DJs and close Nightdrive comrades Pirate Stereo , Troy Kurtz , and Caballero himself bring some serious heat to El Bolero Room at The [...]

This evening's Local Beat was the shortest in awhile due to #13 ranked NC State playing Virginia Tech in baseball at 5:30pm. However, Jack the Radio joined us on the phone for a brief moment to chat about their brand new album, Low Country, and promote the album release party tomorrow afternoon at Big Boss Brewery . Jack the Radio is a rising band in our state and their sophomore album does not disappoint with keeping true to their self-proclaimed "Southern Indie Rock" sound that touches on a wide variety of [...]

Local goodness from North of the Miami-Dade county line. I first saw Sumsun at the Mount Kimbie show at The Electric Pickle where lots of audience members actually confused them for the headlining act - yes they were that good. Their new EP is pretty impressive. Can't wait to see what else these guys come up with.

Check this out, Love Tempo returns !!! "Down in the basement! We're filling the place with smoke, turning the lights out and the speakers up, and we're gunna get steeeeeamy. Love Tempo DJs have called in their Spanish to drop Kalimotxos all night long to the sounds of bumpin-disco, dusty edits and chuggin house. LT is all about getting completely wild, sort of lost and loving the shit out of every moment of it. What's love got to do with it?" FRI 18 MAY / LIBERTY SOCIAL CLUB, MELBOURNE [...]

Jovontaes' new cassette Cavedwellers Month is out later this month. You can grab it for just $5 from Fire Talk. MP3: Jovontaes - Down Below For fans of Jovontaes' "hits" like "Mountain Pass," this might be a little surprising.
