I'm all sorts of impressed with how outrageously different this remix is from the original. It's always mindblowing to see how people can hear a song and take it in an entirely new direction, based on how they personally hear the melodies. You could give "Do You..." to five different ... Read More
Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes are returning with a third, self-titled studio album on 7/23. One of the first tracks that's crossed my plate from the new project is the captivating slow-burner "Better Days." Next time you're around a campfire, if this isn't on the playlist, then I think ...

I'm always on the hunt for something different and refreshing in the music world, and today Milky Chance is helping to serve that role. "Stolen Dance" is a quirky, folk-oriented, uplifting listen from start to finish - perfect for a day of exploration or walking around the city. I don't ... Read More
Kids of the Apocalypse made QUITE the splash on the music blogosphere early in 2013 with their heart-thumping single "Masters of the Sun." Little remains to be known of the band other than this Facebook page and their dynamite website, but what else do we really need? To follow up their ... Read More
Random Access Memories officially hit stores today, but the world's been listening to it for a solid week now, since the duo made the full album stream available on iTunes. Included in the Japanese edition is an exclusive bonus track, titled "Horizon." I still have no idea why the Japanese ... Read More
Finally! After hearing this song pop up in various DJ mixes over the last few months, the LA based DJ duo Falcons have decided to release the full version to the masses. This jam takes the addictive hook of J. Cole's "Nobody's Perfect" (sung surprisingly well by Missy Elliot) and ... Read More
First things first here. Never in my life would I EVER expect to hear Blessid Union Of Souls' "I Believe" transformed into a progressive house barnburner. Right off the bat, just not two ingredients that seem like they should be mixed together. Oil and water, if you will. Little did ... Read More
Loving this new trend where The Hype Machine offers up exclusive album streams of a project well in advance. Crystal Fighters' sophomore effort isn't due out until 5/27, but Hypem is offering up an exclusive stream over at their website, and it's worth jumping on. It's been exciting to watch ... Read More
It's no secret that Pharrell's been borderline unstoppable lately. Think about it. He's on every single "it" song of the moment, and it doesn't look like he's slowing down anytime soon. He's on arguably the biggest hit of 2013 in Daft Punk's "Get Lucky." Not far behind is Robin Thicke's, ... Read More
The 1975 have just released their latest EP titled IV; a stellar addition to an already impressive resume. Featuring a re-mastered version of "The City," and three other brand new songs, IV is right up there with my favorite material from the band to date. Stream the new project below, ... Read More
This track just flat-out does it for me - it has for weeks. It evokes this undeniably catchy rhythm that demands repeat listens, making me a certified fan of Bipolar Sunshine. Definitely some Theophilus London traits here, both visually and sonically. Check out the official video below, and keep your ... Read More
The Neighbourhood has always emitted a sound that's quintessentially cool. The California based band put together one of the better releases of the year with their free album I Love You., and they're about to depart on their first nationwide, headlining tour. To kick it off the right way, they've ... Read More
I still haven't managed to make it to the theater to see The Great Gatsby, but I'm certainly still listening to the original soundtrack. Producers keep producing their own takes of the album as well, Madeaux being the latest and greatest. His take on "Young & Beautiful" incorporates electronic undertones, ... Read More
Bastille has already taken over the UK, and he's well on his way to capturing U.S. hearts and ears. "Pompeii" is the lead single off the debut album Bad Blood, and it's their express lane ticket to U.S. stardom. No questions about it. Just to show off and prove that ... Read More
If you haven't been keeping up with the Kanye news for the past day, allow me to provide you with the sparknotes. On Friday, 5/17, Kanye pulled an outrageous stunt to debut a song off his new album, as he projected visuals of his face performing the new track, titled ... Read More
British DJ/producer Stay+ has been on the scene for a bit, but it looks like now he spells his name out fully? Perhaps? Pretty sure it's the same guy that did the vicious, trancy Ellie Goulding "Explosions" remix from a few months ago. His latest release is equally trancy, and ... Read More
Lana's making waves again ladies and gentlemen. Her contribution to The Great Gatsby soundtrack was sultry, emotional Lana at it's finest, and was a clear standout on a record filled with clear standouts. She returns today with an upbeat, lively release - but we all know it's not true Lana ... Read More
London's The 1975 consistently meet (and surpass) my high expectations. Their latest release, "fallingforyou," is off their upcoming IV EP, due out May 20th. It's a somber, sleep-inducing track that's perfect for winding down. Musical Lunesta for days. .
You've never heard of Smallpools before. That's not your fault, nobody has. "Dreaming" is the debut single from the L.A. natives, and it's legitimately impossible to have a more impressive first recording. Soaring synths, energetic vocals, and several Passion Pit traits make this a top pick in my book as ... Read More
More love from the land of the All Blacks this week in the form of a cool downtempo collaboration between The Naked And Famous and their fellow Kiwis, Kids of 88. A bit more chillwave than some of The Naked And Famous we've come to enjoy, but a building beat ... Read More
