Just about as smooth as it gets right here. A Russian trio by the name of 5 Reasons drew up the production, and gave Nashville's Patrick Baker a call to help out with vocals. The end result is a 5 minute odyssey to some faraway, dimly lit European club/lounge with ... Read More
All sorts of into this release from Austin, TX mystery man Max Frost. I have absolutely no details on the man, other then the fact that he's from Austin and "White Lies" is owning me. It's hard to believe that this is all recorded by one man - but that's the ... Read More
Let's just get this over with and all agree that OneRepublic's "If I Lose Myself" is an undeniable guilty pleasure. Actually no, don't like that term, because that implies that I feel guilty when blasting the original - this isn't the case. Ryan Tedder is the golden child, and he's ... Read More
Dillon Francis is certifiably the biggest goon on the DJ circuit; we've known this for a while now.

Little Daylight exploded onto the blogosphere with their debut single "Overdose" back at the end of January.

Aubrey loves him some Beach Blast. Loves him some indoor beach volleyball. I can't even explain how mindblown I am after being introduced to indoor beach volleyball as an athletic possibility. Indoor volleyball? Spare me. Beach volleyball? For peasants. INDOOR BEACH VOLLEYBALL = MINDBLOWN. Hit the official video for his ... Read More
KiD CuDi's new album Indicud hits shelves on 4/23, and a new track from the project just surfaced tonight.

Been waiting for this one since we got a little teaser a couple of weeks ago that it was actually happening. Jessie Ware's stellar debut album Devotion has been available in the UK for a while now, but the U.S. debut is coming 4/15. She's adding a few new tracks ... Read More
It seems that Black Milk has provided us with a nice little two for-one deal in the form of his latest song "Sunday's Best/Monday's Worst. A better value than say, Domino's Two for Tuesday promotion, we are treated to a tasty sampling of two soulful hip-hop tracks in one. The ... Read More

Sweden back at it again. Relentlessly attacking everyone else in the music scene until all that's left is a bucket of Swedish fireflames. I'm not mad, as long as we have music coming from them and Australia then we'll be just fine. Listen to the country's latest single that's taken ... Read More
This has dramatic movie soundtrack written all over it. All over it. Active Child is the moniker for minimalistic electronic talent Pat Grossi.

Can definitely get behind the name Chaz Fuego. Not sure why, it just rolls off the tongue. Chaz Fuego. So easy. So smooth. Chaz Fuego is a self-proclaimed "Houston kid making music to live to, love to, celebrate to, think to, create to and most importantly lose yourself & find ... Read More
Bizarre background information on this one. Ryan Hemsworth produced this original in honor of an acclaimed video game score composer named Yasunori Mitsuda. Had no idea that video game score composers are people that receive tributes in their honor, but hey it's 2013. Either way, Hemsworth puts his talents on ... Read More

I feel like Kevin and Jackson of Carousel have been touring their faces off the past few months. Homies are always on the road, so I'm struggling to understand when they had time to set up shop and lay down a new song. Certainly not complaining. These two have carved ... Read More
If you’re looking for an electronically charged escape from your day-to-day, make this tandem a priority for your 2013 concert circuit.
