Hot on the heels of his solid collaborative EP "Never Again" with London's Chaos in the CBD on Needwant, Los Angeles house producer Taylor Freels, aka Urulu , who recently moved to London, delivers this quality re-interpretation of one of his favorite Weeknd tracks, "Twenty Eight". This rework goes deep in all the right places. You can grab Urulu's "Lonely Weekend" for free below. Fill it up!

The Weeknd dropped this a few days ago (sorry Im late to the partty) and is the title track off his upcoming EP Kiss Land . The track runs 8 mins long and is seperated into 2 different parts. Most Weeknd fans will love it, people with a short attention span may not make it past 3 mins. All in all its a dope track.]]> text/html 2013-05-22T19:43:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4965261/jacques-greene-on-your-side-ep/
Jacques Greene a annonc hier la sortie d'un nouvel EP (ouaiis !) nomm On Your Side . Il nous en donne un petit aperu avec une nouvelle collaboration. Aprs Quicksand et Painted Faces , Jacques Greene s'accompagne de How To Dress Well , le nouveauphnomnedu « Alt R'N'B » ( nb . R'N'B faon annes 2010, plus lectronique qu' son origine. On retrouve notamment, The Weekend et Zodiac dans le mme style). Et si Jacques annonce la couleur avec ce duo, il est clair que l'EP risque d'tre une pure folie.

Dark R&B artist drops 2 new tracks off of his newest album Kiss Land. This time we get a more in depth look at Abel, the man that is The Weeknd. We get more of his sexual exploits, and even a dark part of his life with drug habits and never leaving home in "John Carpenter".]]> text/html 2013-05-18T14:34:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4958140/mp3-the-weeknd-kiss-land-prod-by-silkky-johnson/
Just spotted via twitter . In a post- Frank Ocean world, do people still care about the The Weeknd though?]]> text/html 2013-05-18T13:48:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4958117/listen-the-weeknd-kiss-land/
The Weeknd's Abel Tesfaye is finally readying the release of his debut album proper, after the mixtape sagas of 2011 and 2012. 'Kiss Land' - the title track from it - is the first glimpse we've been given. A sprawling, eight-minute epic, it is a fascinating listen complete with twists and turns, odd samples and of course, Tesfaye's mesmerising croon. Amazingly, earlier this year The Weeknd announced an arena tour of the UK, a bold move for such a new artist but it pretty much encapsulates the confidence that drips throughout his work.

The weekend is officially upon us and " The Weeknd " has delivered us this bad ass & dirty new 7.41 minute track, " Kiss Land. " It's everything it should be and more and awkwardly written about ME. I guess I will have to just get over it since I am already playing it out... BUY THIS SHIT now HERE and/or listen below!!

Listen to the first single and title track from The Weeknd's first official full-length album, Kiss Land . It's a near-eight minute epic, complete with horror movie screams, chopped samples and Abel Tesfaye's signature pleading-menacing vocal delivery. And that's just the first half. Like Frank Ocean's "Pyramids" last year, "Kiss Land" picks up in its confessional, drum machine-led second part.

Well The Weeknd dropped another baby making ballad last night, and it's called Kiss Land . Much like CandyLand, you'll find yourself licking a lot of things that are questionably edible. The track was produced by Silkky Johnson, and marks the third or fourth new release from The Weeknd in 2013. In 2012, The Weeknd made sure everyone knew he was here to lay down them "get fugged" beats, and 2013 has steadily become no different. Kiss Land , is one of two new releases from The [...]]]> text/html 2013-05-17T19:20:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4957104/friday-music-news/
photo by Dave Lichterman Chelsea Light Moving have shared a new video for their hardcore, psychedelic rock song "Lip." This happens to be the bands first ever music video and it looks like they chose to make a bit of a political statement. The track sounds like a rebel's anthem, so it's very fitting that it features riots and protestors clashing with cops. See what you think of their first venture into videos below.

I feel this post and every one to follow is coming as a necessity. We had a weekly mix that we used to do that we seem to have forgotten about so here I am here to reinstate it. Basically what this will be is a weekly re-cap of all our favorite tracks of the week, of any genre, new releases and the occasional re-discovered gem. This week's mix will be a collection of tracks from the past couple of weeks. Most noteworthy tracks are the three of my favorite songs off Random Access Memories , Baauer [...]]]> text/html 2013-05-17T18:39:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4956962/get-crunk-clayton-and-tommies-friday-party-playlist-52/

Greetings from Laurel Canyon! Night before last, I came home tired from a long week of shuffling from meetings to gigs, gigs to studios, and back to more meetings. Although I thought about "hitting the hay," this week's Idelic Hour weighed heavily on my mind. The truth is I have my issues with the show. The obligation to continue week after week with a fresh and interesting take on "this here hour" certainly can take its toll. It's not an obligation to the hip and laid back Jon Meyers and the TVD family that [...]]]> text/html 2013-05-17T17:00:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4956726/new-the-weeknd-kiss-land/
The Weeknd has a new album titled Kiss Land on the way later in the year. He just released a new song from the album. It's also titled "Kiss Land" and sits at 8-minutes, almost like his attempt at a "Pyramids." It's almost split up into a 2-part epic, taking a turn at the 2nd half. Lots of cool sounds and parts of them, even if they lyrics made me cringe a few times. Take a listen below.]]> text/html 2013-05-17T16:23:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4956664/new-music-from-the-weeknd-kiss-land/
After releasing a Daft Punk style, 15 second teaser clip, today we get the title track from The Weeknd's upcoming LP, Kiss Land . The song comes in close to eight minutes and has a feel of two separate parts that come together for one song. Nothing new is brought to the table from this latest release, same style of dark R&B, which isn't a bad thing unless you were expecting him to change it up from his previous material. After hearing this first single, I'm looking forward to Kiss Land , which is expected to drop sometime [...]]]> text/html 2013-05-17T16:15:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4957013/the-weeknd-has-delivered-the-eponymous-track-off-his-upcoming/
The Weeknd has delivered the eponymous track off his upcoming record Kiss Land . After entering this hedonism theme park, Abel Tesfaye sopassionatelycroons away his most daring confessions. Amid various screams, the nearly 8 minute track quickly gains an aggressive path with an unrelenting thump of synth power. Alot of different beat changes on this, so listen closely to the horror.]]> text/html 2013-05-17T16:13:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4956624/the-weeknd-kiss-land-mp3/
C'est toujours cool d'avoir des news d'Abel Tesfaye. Plus connu sous le nom de The Weeknd , il ralise ici le titre qui portera le nom de son nouvel album Kiss Land .
