In case you didn't know already, "So Into You" by Tamia is one of my favorite jams of all time. (It comes in a close second behind O-Town's "Liquid Dreams".) You can imagine my excitement then when Vancouver-based duo WMNSTUDIES informed me they had a remix in the works. The final product is everything I could have imagined and more. Cop a free download below. posted by @clarkbs

Vancouver's weather as of late has awakened my emo sensibilities and made me miss those late-night sea wall walks with my imaginary bb. I'm hoping this dream-pop jam will make me feel better, if only for a little while. posted by @clarkbs

Newly based out of Washington, D.C., the prolific Canadian producer Bit Funk dropped a refresh of one of my favorite all time jams today - ATCQ's 1nce Again (produced by J Dilla). Bright pianos over a spring time groove, get it for the low price of zero dollars . Catch him in Vancouver at the Electric Owl March 30 along with yours truly. posted by @pat_lok
I haven't done a heavy band for a while, so this week I bring you my chat with Sam Carter , the lead from British band Architects . From the start, this interview appeared to be cursed. We had to move three separate times to escape loud band soundchecks, rowdy dressing rooms and then overzealous fans. Sam remained professional almost the entire time-even though he had a meet-and-greet and tons of fans anxiously waiting for him. The UK's Architects are another band who have endured fan backlash when a record (2011’s The Here And [...]

French electro producer Breakbot -real name Thibaut Berland- has a resume most artists can only dream of. Affiliated with Ed Banger Records, Breakbot first made a name for himself back in 2006, when he remixed Justice's "Let There Be Light". Six years laters, Breakbot has a debut album, 20122s "By Your Side", and a slew of celebrity fans -including Chromeo, Para One, and Matthew Dear.- Next month, Breakbot will be hitting up Fortune Sound Club for his first Vancouver appearance since 2012. The night will also feature performances by Matty [...]
I read an article the other day that suggested there are two types of rappers, those who came before Rakim and those who came after. And while I'm no rap historian, I'm pretty sure this is true. Rakim (real name William Michael Griffin Jr) was making music before I was even born. He first came onto the scene in 1986, when his formative rap duo, Eric B & Raki, released "Eric B. Is President" to mass hysteria. In the years that followed, Rakim would release [...]
While I'm pretty sure the male lead in this video is a complete douche bag, the visuals for this jam are on point. posted by @clarkbs

I have one wish. I wish that K is that one artist I write about that gets big - like really big . I want to sit down, throw on the interwebz one day, and watch a live stream of him in a stadium full of people and be like "yeah... saw that coming". It's so important to me that you hear the music for yourself, I'm not even going to grace you with a description. I believe in good music, and this is why I write about it. Kishi Bashi is [...]
Ricco (from Slowdjs.com ) has whipped up a buttery little mix for us that features some of the chilliest, laidback, R&B-meets-electronic jams. Inspired by the act of sex (actually), we encourage this mix to be played whilst getting down, before getting down, or that moment after you’ve gotten down and you’re trying to break that awkward silence, (which may ultimately lead to more getting down). Regardless of when played, we approve and hope you enjoy this very special mix. Check it out below. posted by @clarkbs
Quickly for those of you who don't know, A Tribe Called Red are a Canadian electronic music group, blending instrumental hip hop, with elements of First Nations music (vocal chanting and drumming) - shit is cool . @FortuneSound was packed, no doubt. Our boys in red opened the stage with " Wird " and went to Winnie's favourite track " Electric Pow Wow Drum " mid-set. Tribe are probably best described as modern First Nations heroes easily doing some of the coolest things in music right now. [...]
