Yeah, it's those "hipsters" singing cheery tunes from the semi-obnoxious Hyundai commercials . But did you know that they are actually a legit, aspiring band? Pomplamoose is the name of their two-person group (Jack Conte is known for his video-edited music ), but we can just call them the "Hyundai Hipsters" instead. They've just capitalized on the Angry Birds phenomenon by covering the title song. If you even the slightest fan of the mobile game (there's a 99% chance you've played it), you should check them out. Just beware of their wide-eyed creepiness… [...]

Don't get your Tayyib Ali mixed with your Talib Kweli , because both are a force to be reckoned with in the hip hop world. This bright 18-year old rapper is fresh out of the Philly streets and has already caught our attention. Smooth beats and graceful flow is the name of his game; Tayyib's talents easily rank up there with the big boys and his future is without a doubt established. Having just released his second mixtape, Tayyib is already enjoying his spotlight on stage with familiar names such as Chiddy Bang [...]

The new album from Foster The People may be two weeks away, but that doesn't mean you can't salivate over this tasty glimpse into the album. Miss You (straight from a 2011 appearance at SXSW) is a vigorously fast-paced song that will get you more pumped up than… well, Pumped Up Kicks .

If I didn't know any better, I'd guess this was a brand new Modest Mouse single. But I know for a fact they are far too busy, making an album with Big Boi , to be working on anything of their own. In fact, it's The Heavenly States , who have clearly kidnapped their sound and refuse to give it back. Perhaps, folk-rock isn't dead after all?

I'm both surprised and not surprised that Foster The People is getting the attention that they are receiving: blog love, MTV commercials, and etc. And one of the most exciting parts of rising stardom is the attention your song gets from the music community. That means a slew of awesome, genre-bending remixes like Myndset's dance rendition of Pumped Up Kicks. Dance away. Foster The People - Pumped Up Kicks (Myndset Remix).mp3

There's honestly something refreshing about the new wave of homegrown hip-hop artists in this new generation of Youbooks, Facetubes, and what have you. In a time when a genre like rap is struggling to find its new identity, artists like The Dean's List are there to pave the way for a new kind of sound. Dear Professor may use a poppy 80's-influenced tune, but the trio finds a way to make it sound fresh for the masses using upbeat melodies, catchy choruses (a sample of The Band Perry — If I Die [...]

What IS surprising (and correct me if I'm wrong) is that this Brazilian electro duo doesn't sport a kick-ass Vader helmet while DJing. Purchase their mixes on Beatport

Gesaffelstein is Turbo Recordings ' bright new poster-boy, alongside Proxy of course, and has just released a new EP. Vibrating synths and hard-hitting beats aplenty, Hatred proves to be a memorable banger, both on the floor and off. Although it may be slightly repetitive, the song will leave you feeling dirty, grimy, and itching for a shower in the best way possible. If you are in the LA area, Gesaffelstein will be making a quick pit-stop, performing at the Hard Summer festival on August 6th. Purchase the full EP [...]
