You need to remember the name Dillon Cooper so you can brag to all your hipster friends that you found him first. This is only his third video after garnering major attention with only two visuals and a mixtape set to drop anytime in June. Dillon is a 19 year old kid form Brooklyn who's temporarily relocated to Boston for schooling at Berklee College of Music. After deciding music was what he wanted to do he dropped out to chase his fame. He seems to be off to a great start because this video is incredibly professional and he has bars for days. Check [...]
Here we are with one of the most anticipated tracks from Spitta's (a.k.a Curren$y ) upcoming major label debut The Stoned Immaculate . The track is is titled "Capitol" featuring the game most sought emcee at the moment 2 Chainz . These two just glide over this jazzy, flute-laden beat and show us once again how they just routinely murder any track that they get their hands on. Check It Out And Enjoy! SHouts to Stereo Gum .

I'll admit, I'm more of a retro gamer than anything. I don't own an Xbox 360 or a PS3. I do own a Wii, but it's just a $200 white Netflix machine. What the hell does this have to do with anything you may ask. The fact that I like older games relate to the style of Kubbi , who has a unique style of using these 8-bit and 16-bit sounds that you can frequently hear from old console games. Kubbi is from Norway and makes tracks like "Motivation" in his free time. He admits that he finds his [...]
What do you do in your apartment? On second thought, don't answer that question. Too many activities could be said and none of that is relevant because the spotlight is on Shaky Snakes today. Currently residing in Vancouver, Canada, Shaky Snakes makes music from his home, which happens to be an apartment. This is the part where I tell you how his music differs from all the DIY musicians and this time, you WILL be sold. Our premiere is taken from Shaky Snakes' Del Boca Vista , his latest EP. The record is a short little collection of [...]
In a genre full of bragging, boasting, sex & gun toting it's good to have artists like Kero One making the kind of positive, lighthearted music he's known for.If you're looking for complex lyricism, unfortunately you will fail to quench your thirst, but if you're looking for a fix of chill & at times socially concious music by an honest artist then you simply cannot overlook this Korean-American rapper. This particular cut is off of his third album, Kinetic World , an album that actually came out almost two years ago. Now I'm not entirely sure what [...]
Fayetteville,North Carolina native/Miami-based singer-songwriter Steven A. Clark recently unveiled the accompanying visuals to his recently liberated Mr. Familiar produced track " Chemistry ." The visuals, to quote a line from the song's hook, are "out of this world" and abstract. Created and edited by Free LVE , the near three-minute video contains excerpts from Russian writer/director Mikhail Karzhukov's 1962 sci-fi film, Battle Beyond the Sun. [...]
Another catchy song from the MTV Woodie Nominee T.Mills , this one is entitled "Diemonds" and Mills does not disappoint. This is only the first release off his upcoming mixtape "Thrillionaire" hosted by DJ Rockstar and hosted by none other than mixtape king DatPiff.com. Look forward to his appearance in the Rocksmith lookbook coming soon as well, check out the track and enjoy! [...]
The weekend has come and gone, and now you're deep into your weekly grind. Never fear, Wobble Wednesday is back with more of your favorite face-melting bass drops to help you make the most of your mundane lifestyle. Today I'll be guiding you along through the many variations of bass music that we see these days, new and old. I wanted to turn the Wobble Wednesday feature into more than just a section for today's dubstep, so I decided it was only right to incorporate some drum & bass as well as an oldies section into the weekly feature. [...]
Montreal psych-pop creation of Airick Woodhead, under the moniker Doldrums has unleashed another teaser for his upcoming EP. As expected, this new single, "Jump On", is a thrill ride with audacious twists and turns of the most erratic noise intrusions. The EP is titled Egypt and the scheduled released date is June 4th through Soutterian Transmissions . You might need to be mentally prepared for this one, guys. [...]
Culturally in Mexico, Witchcraft is a very common thing. After Ritualz composed Ghetto Ass Witch last spring he has developed a strong hate and irritability when speaking about witch house. "If you want to listen to 'witch house' do a soundcloud search for the endless Salem clones, you're not gonna hear that shit from me," said Ritualz, after being pestered by cult fan boys on Twitter. Truth of the matter is the 90's trance sound will be forever associated with modern witch house sound. I know Ritualz is trying to create the post-witch house [...]
In near rapid succession several leaks from Childish Gamino 's upcoming mixtape have found their way to the internet, the latest of which Gambino personally released via his Twitter account after wrapping up a lengthy cathartic rant. In His defense, when you're used to being a whipping boy for countless bloggers and hater alike you can't blame Gambino for leveling his sights at his critics and detractors and shooting back. If anything, the release of the new track was a fitting conclusion to Gambino's interesting and equally personal monologue. While his Flynt Flossy and Yung [...]
With the sudden explosive growth of A$AP Rocky 's fanbase, it's looking like New York City is finally returning as a hip hop powerhouse. Cali native Blu hit the scene hard in 2009 with his XXL Freshman selection, and now Manhatten has its own new up-and-coming lyricist who possesses the skill and content necessary to to make it big. ANTHM has been streaking as of late, and the release of his newest collaboration with Blu is nothing short of excellent. With RJF on the boards, "Polaris" has the steady Manhatten sound, real smooth to say the least, and [...]
Uttering the terms "Tribal" and "Forward Thinking" in the sentence can be grounds for causing even a layman to the techno world to cringe. While the "Perculator" inspired hits of Major Lazor and French tribal renaissance led by Club Cheval had their time and place, there is only so much room to grow when you're playing out melodies on a set of toms. Toronto's John Roman certainly builds his latest mixtape of eight new original tracks around percussion, despite being much more adept with his piano skills than the average computer trained musician. [...]
If you haven't noticed EARMILK 's hip hop coverage is, for a lack of a better term, more or less a sausage fest. With that said, it's always great to hear and receive submissions from female emcees. It's no secret than even in 2012 women are disproportionately underrepresented in the world of hip hop. However, up and coming femcee Gita is making the necessary moves to ensure her voice is heard within the male-dominated genre. In additon to being featured in MISHKA 's Spring 2012 Lookbook , the NYC transplant (by way of Oakland, California) released some creative visuals for [...]
If by now you haven't heard of rap wild-child and style maverick Danny Brown you really need to get from under the rock you've been nesting under. Whether it's original material , grimy remixes of his work or Brown personally adding his signature flow on other artists' work , Danny Brown is damn near everywhere these days and that is by no means a bad thing. The latest dose of the Detroit rhymesayer is in the form of a remix EP, XXX Remixed, crafted by fellow Motor City native Black Noi$e . [...]
Last November (September for those who were on top of their game), Brit-Pop sensation Foxes was exposed the masses -- her hit single " Youth " made its way on a number of blogs. It seemed to be atop the charts across the board, and for what many thought would be a brief stint, the latest buzz was all about Foxes. Accompanied by fan favorite b-side " Home ," the single became the focal point of many singer/songwriter discussions as 2011 came to a close. Exceeding expectations, her buzz lingered on -- thanks in part to [...]
Music from Michael Uzowuru are always welcomed around these parts. For his latest creation Uzi enlists the help of West Coast rapper Sk La'Flare (who just so happens to be OF crooner Frank Ocean 's cousin) who goes in on this irresistable head-nod banger of a track. If you're feeling "Escape to Italy" you're in luck because there's more music on the way from the West Coast duo who've announced an upcoming collaborative project Mark Of The Beast , which is due out this summer. [...]
Your favorite soundscape artist A Sol Mechanic is back with a brand new bag. His fresh off the press track, "Noir Blooming," really struck a home-run with me. Known for his use of unusual and unorthodox sounds, he almost does a 180 with this tune. Coasting off with a beautiful piano, it slowly escalates when a modest-yet-catchy beat enters. Soon after, there is a drop with additional modest elements thrown into the fray. The drop isn't huge, but it is definitely steep in a different style. "Noir Blooming" induces what I call the classic downtempo, head-bob syndrome for [...]

A few days ago I posted an interview with The Captain , and I just can't seem to keep myself out of Trouble & Bass . Sorry, mom, I know you'd prefer I behave, but it's hard to resist the dark side when it sounds like this. I tend to count myself out of most scenes that charter "heavy bass" as their speciality, more drawn to subtlety, but Trouble & Bass have managed to create a heavy-bass-centric scene that feels properly targeted to grown-ups. I can't even be guilty about the pleasure they bring in [...]
Back in November, EARMILK was excited to premiere "Keep It Rollin'," the latest track from the spirited Indie Rock quintet Y LUV . Today we are delighted to premiere another one of their tracks, this time the Gazzo Remix of "Never Touch The Ground." "Never Touch The Ground" was originally included on Y LUV's How Chill Can You Let Go EP , appropriately titled for its release on April 20th, 2011. A day already celebrated in solidarity by many, the How Chill Can You Let Go EP [...]
