J. Cole just hand delivered his new single to the people in the form of "Cole Summer." The North Carolina native shows off his production skills as he takes us back to his childhood, his relationship with his mother, and what people are anticipating from his second album. He's always ... Read More
After a handful of successful singles, Rudimental's debut album was released today in the UK. I don't quite understand why everyone across the pond gets to experience this first, but that's the way it works generally. There's no word on the North American release date, but it wouldn't surprise me if ... Read More
The most consistent man in the remix game recently released a re-work of Steel Train's "You Are Dangerous," and the golden remix streak continues. Speaking of Steel Train - I was 100% infatuated with their album Trampoline back when I was abroad in Madrid. It's strange how you remember certain songs/albums ... Read More
Daughter got the world's attention back in 2011 with their second EP, The Wild Youth. The UK folk trio released "Youth" and that was pretty much a wrap for me; that track puts me in a mental space that few others can even approach. The band decided to try something ... Read More
Introduce yourself to Bipolar Sunshine, real name Adio Marchant. The British singer/producer has my full attention with "Rivers" - some flawless Friday afternoon listening right here. Gotta be honest, after hearing the initial chords I thought the dude was about to fire into some cover of Ke$ha's "Die Young." Not that there ... Read More
Roughly two years ago, we got our ears on Capital Cities' "Safe & Sound" for the first time. It came accompanied with a self-edited video of old school, Charlie Chaplin esque dancing clips, and the track itself was an obvious choice for the airwaves. Again, this is June 2011. Watching ... Read More
Crystal Fighters has a brand new album titled Cave Rave hitting shelves on 5/27, and it's setting up to be something serious. The first whiff I got of the new project was "Wave," and now we're given an equally melodic gem in the form of "You & I." Easy-going, warm-weather listening for days. ... Read More
I never thought Miguel's "Do You..." needed any re-works, remixes, or re-interpretations. It's one of those songs that stands perfectly strong on it's own, and any/every remix I've heard seems to detract from the original. That is, until Cashmere Cat rolled around and completely flipped it on it's head. I ... Read More
Yuna's something special. The Malaysian born singer/songwriter has one of those crystal clear, soothing voices that cuts directly to the core - and she puts it on full display with her new release "I Wanna Go." After her stellar, self-titled debut album, she's preparing to release a new EP called ... Read More
Love this band. Love everything they bring to the table. You'll remember that a couple of weeks ago, they released a mastered, official single version of "The City." To go along with the release, they've just hit us with this artistically crafted, black and white music video. Once you get ... Read More
In what we deemed to be a good way to escape from the anxious mood looming over Boston on Friday, two buddies and I headed to NYC for the weekend. Although I felt some pangs of regret at not being around to celebrate when I heard that authorities had finally ... Read More
So it seems we're on pace to get a song a day from the The Great Gatsby soundtrack. We all good with that? Thought so. Today's release comes in the form of a brand new recording from cult heroes The xx. This one will surely will have their fanbase salivating ... Read More
It took about 0.2 seconds for me to fall madly in love with Mr. Little Jeans' new single "Oh Sailor." In all honesty, whenever you incorporate some form of a children's choir into the chorus of a pop song, the result is gold. Not sure why, that's just how it ... Read More
Rolling Stone debuted a brand new track from production/DJ duo Classixx today, off their upcoming debut album Hanging Gardens. Featuring vocals from former member of LCD Soundsystem, Nancy Whang, "All You're Waiting For" is a sprawling nu-disco soundscape that was without a doubt featured in every scene of Boogie Nights. I mean it ... Read More
Jean-Philip Grobler cannot be stopped. It's that simple. The world's still waiting on St. Lucia's debut album, due out later on this year - but in the meantime, he's kind enough to dish us his exclusive remix of The Colourist's "Little Games." Instant favorite of the day, no questions asked. ... Read More
The Great Gatsby soundtrack is quickly turning into one of the most anticipated albums of the year. I can't think of a past example when a movie soundtrack (that's not a musical) was in a position like this to sell records - wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if the ... Read More
Never heard of Cave Painting before, and that's the beauty of this. All it took was one listen of "Rio" for me to become a certified fan, and what followed was continuous play of this same track for a full 60 minutes. As ridiculous as it sounds, in today's world ... Read More
So yeah this happened guys. Blog darling/producer of the moment Ryan Hemsworth went ahead and chopped and screwed the late 902s Backstreet Boys anthem "Show Me The Meaning Of Being Lonely," to the point where it's an entirely unrecognizable, glitchy dance groove. As quirky as it gets right here. Download: ... Read More
If I could pick Lana Del Rey to contribute to a film soundtrack, I'd shoot for a film that takes place in the 202s. Naturally she was a shoe-in for the official soundtrack of The Great Gatsby. The easiest call that music supervisor had to make of his career. "Young ... Read More
It's a great day in Boston. The kind of day that you just want to cruise around the city pumping some new jams while everything starts to shift back to normalcy. The perfect accompaniment for this transition, at least in my opinion, are some new instrumental gems; look no further ... Read More
