This is kind of embarrassing but I have always been a fan of Jojo, I know, I know, but what the heart wants it wants. This remix has been on repeat for me since July and I decided it was about time I came clean as a Jojo fan.

Back again are the collaborative efforts of Usher and Diplo with the semi-schizo beat track Go Missin' . The single is no where near Climax territory but with these two particularly at the top of their game there is no doing wrong. Go Missin' is seductive, kinky and convincing, telling an oh-so true story of attempting to woo that beautiful neglected girl to come home with you from the club. Listen below. Usher - Go Missin' No related posts. Sorry.

In case any of you hadn't realized, today is Valentines Day and mammoth producer Hudson Mohawke has dropped his annual Valentines Slowjams Mix (presented by Lucky Me) to get you just that much more in the mood. The mix is smooth as hell and highlights classics by Bobby Caldwell and Nona Hendryx just to name a couple and even has the romantic encompassing of gunshots. Get your candles lit and listen below.

If one thing is for sure, it's that the L.A. based beat scene has almost exploded in popularity in recent years with countless Producers & DJ's determined to have their sound heard. Salva, in his own words, marries Baltimore Club, Juke, Miami Bass and hip-hop creating an intense vibe which can be felt specifically on Drop That B off his Odd Furniture EP. The track has this sick, almost robotic progression and just begs for you to get up and thrash. Simply put, Salva is a under the radar force to be watched as he easily inches and [...]

The musical prowess of Canadian outfit Purity Ring is absolutely undeniable, proved even more so in their decision to cover Soulja Boy's 2010 track Grammy off The DeAndre Way . Band mates Corin Roddick and Megan James have made no secret of their hip hop affinity so the cover should come as no surprise. The fact that the overall sound and composition exceeds that of the original once again solidifies their genius and has personally left me wanting more. With more expected new material coming this year and even production on Danny Brown's upcoming album, I'm sure [...]

Nearly a week after her now infamous Superbowl performance and people are still abuzz about Beyoncé and her becoming decision to re-introduce Destiny's Child back to the world. I for one felt a heavy sense of nostalgia seeing as the trio's music is something I grew up on and admired for their ability to garner the attention from every pocket of fan. As a group they were the first artists I felt I was growing with as they honed their capabilities and nothing is more enticing to a little boy then a sweet, melodic feminine voice. They were dominant and [...]

Kitty, formerly Kitty Pryde, first caught my attention with her track Okay Cupid but I wasn't completely sold and wrote her off as a tumblr phenomena that was going to eventually to fade. This mix tape has proved that she is more than a cute girl talking moderately quickly with limited range. Kitty- Ay Shawty (Feat. Lakutis) Kitty- R.R.E.A.M Related posts: Young Sensation - Kitty Magic EP Young Sensation! Is a 4 person group from the [...]

Oh man, I have been waiting for a while to write this post. The Knife are one of those bands for me that can do no wrong, really they could record them selves going to the bathroom and I would be all over it. The latest from them is more than I expected and has me even more excited for their tour this summer, even though I am going to have to go to Europe to see them. The Knife- Full of Fire Related posts: [...]

Dirty Beaches is back with a sound that I was not expecting. This track is as haunting as it is beautiful, the soft subtle sound is the perfect soundtrack for a cold rainy day.

Roddy Colmer, front man and lead vocalist for the ever rising band Rebel Emergency, surges onto the scene with his debut solo album All the Little Things , which has proven to be one of the best debut solo projects I’ve heard in a while. Not only does this album manage to keep in touch with everything that made Rebel Emergency so great, but it goes to great lengths to hold its own voice and message. Some artists, when transferring roles from a group setting to one that is mainly solitary in nature, feel [...]
