Below are the two latest songs from Baltimore hip-hop artist e-dubble that he's released in the last month. He takes a more chill-hop approach that is fun to sing along and groove to. It's lighter than his previous material but still real quality music. Why don't more people work with e-dubble, he clearly knows what he's doing, [...]
I first heard of Zoo Legacy when they sent us "How Much Love" through soundcloud. We put it on our Soundcloud's Best of August and I let the band know I wanted more from them. While not easy to pinpoint, fans have described the band’s style as a mash-up of KiD CuDi and The xx. Zoo Legacy’s [...]
Australian band Atlas Genius delivers an alternative rock track, "Trojans". I'm loving the pick-up in the song, catchy guitar riffs and overall how chill the track is. Trojans by Atlas Genius
Jhameel is an up-and-coming indie pop artist out of San Francisco. Here's what his manager wrote to us: Jhameel creates passionate music that stands out, leading with powerfully sung, soulful melodies which are backed by instrumentation inspired by truly eclectic sources (Prince, MGMT). It's the kind of genre defying modern music that is perfect for Before the [...]

I honestly don't know how to define this except that it's experimental electronica/dance. Little Star Dweller with that interesting upbeat unusual electronic sound. However there is some hip-hop, some pop vocals, yet mostly some abstract electronic sounds that you will hate or you keep listening and realize all these elements I just mention continue to improve [...]
I can't think of a better day around this time of the year to release the music video to an Aer song. Labor day is Aer music day with chill vibes throughout their songs, especially with "Feel I Bring" which is off their last mixtape, The Reach. Read more to watch the official music video [...]
For some indie electro soul look no further than Los Angeles duo Caught A Ghost. Their sound reminds me of The Black Keys, Fitz & The Tantrums and Outasight. Below listen and download my two favorite Caught A Ghost tracks, "Sleeping At Night" and "Nothing For You Here". Caught a Ghost - Sleeping At Night Caught A Ghost - Nothing [...]
Indie Rock/Americana band Jones Street Station recently released a music video starring Danny Pudi from one of NBC's underrated comedy shows, Community. "The Understanding" has a great rock build-up. In the video it's also real interesting to see how unpredicatable Danny Pudi's character in the video. I think it's a well-directed video and the song [...]
Chapin Herman, sent me this video last week. He directed it and he did an awesome job at it. Not to mention the great work that the performs did to making the covers to Skrillex, Adele, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. This is the first episode of FluxCity TV's Summer Sessions and hopefully not [...]

Recently alternative rock band Miniature Tigers released their latest single, "Boomerang". It's got a dreamy sound, I'm loving the instrumentals, the vocals are smooth. Overall a fun relaxing song.
Denver's Drew Englander aka REALMAGIC is an emerging experimental electronic artist. His layered electronic tracks are ambient but keep you moving. He uses his own voice, drum muchines and fuzzy synth to create catchy and original beats that are complex yet danceable. Check out his song Crip Tics below.
New single from Wavves called "I Wanna Meet Dave Grohl" that has the fun beach rock sound that makes Wavves such a talented upbeat catchy band. Wavves - I Wanna Meet Dave Grohl via hypetrak Previous: Wavves - King of the Beach
Haven't done one of these Sampled Saturday editions in a while so here goes five fairly new songs that sample other songs to create something new and different. First let's go with Clinton Sparks who sampled The Cars "Just What I Needed". I love the original, I kind of like Clinton's new take on it [...]
On August 9, G-Eazy released The Endless Summer (DOWNLOAD). He gets many talented artists featured on the project including Sonny Shotz, Skizzy Mars and KAM Royal. Here's what G-Eazy had to say about the project: I sampled primarily doo-wop and rock records from the late 50s early 60s on here, to give it a vintage sound, however I wanted to [...]
It's less than a year since Wild Beasts were pipped to the Mercury prize by the xx, but the Kendal band are already back with a new album, Smother. And it seems the relative success of their last LP, 'Two Dancers', hasn't had a detrimental effect on their sound. 'Lion’s Share' is gorgeous, no question about it. A simple, seductive song that opens an album. Here lies mystery, romance, tall tales told by men who surely wouldn’t just make this stuff up. It’s there in their eyes, the reality of the experience and the sincerity of their [...]
We totally forgot to blog about this R&B/dubstep song when it came out back in early June. Then within a couple weeks, Drake raps on the SBTRKT track, "Wildfire" which features vocals from the lead singer of indie band Little Dragon. Recently alternative hip-hop/R&B group Shabazz Palaces decided to do a remix with Drumma Boy on the song, changing up [...]
