Say hi to you and your friends' new favorite band. The Neighborhood is that ultra likable tight songwriting that's catchy enough to cross over like MGMT (great band) or Foster the People (okay band), bringing music nerds and their fratty brethren together over good pop rock. If the OC still aired, this would soundtrack next week's episode. These guys stick to grey and black but there are wonderfully sunny melodies driving their plaintive odes to teen lust. The way singer Jesse Rutherford mewls 'Calii-for-niaaa' on Sweater Weather, even dark for the west coast is pretty light. For now they're [...]
"Fuck a P.O. / Fuck a piss test." Fresh from the friends at Fool's Gold , we've got a trippy banger by Fool's Gold labelmates Danny Brown and A-Trak along with Taylor Gang affiliate Juicy J. The production is dirty as fuck and features yet another lights-out verse from Mr. Brown. Simply put, this ain't today's smokin' song, it this season's smokin' song.. Feel me?
Swim Deep , three dudes from Birmingham, UK only have four tracks on their soundcloud , but they're generating a lot of hype with this video for their most recent song 'King City' (is that Michael Kelso?) and for good reason. Check them out as they troll around bright and cheery Britain amidst a cloud of warm basslines, shiny synths, and modest coolness. They'll be releasing the King City mp3 on May 14th, via Chess Club Recs . ∆∆∆ [...]
Jack Kennedy and I used to rage to some Japandroids. Post Nothing was a whirlwind of the dirtiest guitar, crashiest cymbals, and sweatiest vocals of 2009 and it was perfect. Then I barely caught the end of their sx set in 2010, just in time to here 'Heart Sweats' from the back of the tent; it was still awesome. After some of their post PN tracks dropped I thought that they might be forever going towards a different sound, but today, they exploded back into the realm of their original sound when they released [...]
Harlem rap phenom Azealia Banks decimates the snare beat Mad Drumz by DJ Master-D . Sure Diplo's name will lend buzz but credit should be given where credit is due, and word is Diplo jacked it?...uh oh Stream and download it below
I can't exactly remember when these two kuhrye-oo tracks 'Manet Monet' and 'Old Son' showed up on my computer, but I think it was sometime during my brief-yet-influential stint as a dj on turntable fm. I had just taken him for some electronic producer that made awesome sounds and no one had ever heard of. Well lo and behold, LYFSTYL just let me know that not only did he just release three more tracks, but also that he's part of the whole Grimes / Born Gold scene; how's that for a qualifier? Peep his sampling [...]
This was supposed to be a birthday post.. not sure if the mp3 is approved yet, well see. I really like what he did with this one, it's a quick cut but I'm sayin' I had it on repeat for about 17 years yesterday.
SpaceGhostPurrp has been on some shit you probably don't even recognize as SpaceGhostPurrp production.. let's see here, how about that track from Deep Purple .. "Everything Is Purple, Everything Is Purple" how bout fucking Pretty Flacko ?! Shit. He's been around.. he's got a hell of a youtube account, too. I'd really like to get a hold of even half of his mp32s out there. This is where you, the reader lead the way. Oh yeah, dude just signed to 4AD today, this is the first commercial release from Chronicle of [...]
Bangin' beat tape by way of the DMV, Prince Geroges County to be exact, that's like an hour away from where I grew up. Real recognize real type situation, this dude has done some production for Mondre M.A.N. when he released his last solo tape, MC Illin . Turned it up on the headphones today stuff is real groovy. If you've listened to any Main Attrakionz you know they're on some next level production. The fact that he's from the DMV is just a bonus. Hit him up @prod_BIRTHDAY , sure we'll be hearing more soon. [...]
Peep the dude's KYC Reppa from New Mexico. I really was diggin on the simplistic production Sam from the group KYC Reppa provided.CS Rucker flows over it nicely; you know the sweats can't get enough of those l0-fi hits. Stay tuned, there will be an EP sometime in the next month titled Noir, should be bomb if it's anything like this. KYC Reppa - The Human Ones | Mediafire [mp3]

I've heard murmurs of mixed reviews concerning Tanlines ' new album Mixed Emotions , so that's all I really knew about the album. But after watching the music video for "All of Me" my opinion is anything but mixed, it's absolutely excellent. So much so that I'm going to go download their new album. This is the second video/single off of off Mixed Emotions the first being " Brothers " which I'm currently enjoying as I type this.
I've only listened to the first half but so far it's amazing. Even better than I Don't Care , in it's own way. Jonwayne is a Stones Throw artist now, so you better recognize. Jonwayne | Mediafire [zip]

Listen to Big Baby or get left behind, plain and simple. Fat Tony has a verse n a bit of a hook, the two hit the track tandem style, hit you with that 1, 2, 1, 2. Still I don't understand what the fuck everyone's deal is. Big Baby Gandhi is the truth. No 1 2 Look Up 2 comes the 30th. Be looking.
You're not even ready for this one. Sounds like Swizz production but it's not, AraabMUZIK kills the beat, Swizz n Rocky go in for the first single of Swizzy's upcoming project. Mediafire [mp3]
