At the end of 2013, producer Guillermo Scott Herren aka Prefuse 73 got his hands on a few tracks from the genre-bending, forward-thinking Atlanta band Cloudeater, and he liked what he heard. After spending some time with the music, he picked out some songs he thought would make for a good album and the band finished recording [...]

Portugal. The Man's slow absorption into the world of electronica continues today with a remix of "Purple Yellow Red and Blue." The deed is done by London's Ben Ash aka Two Inch Punch, and he does well to stay within grasp of the original, keeping Danger Mouse's production as the track's centerpiece. Instead, the beat [...]

Most stories about the 'American Dream' either begins at the bottom with the world watching your rise to the top or we witness the unfortunate fall from grace. Whether it's movies or music, the grey area, the backbone of our very nation is taken for granted. The Middle Class is the engine that keeps America running in a time where wealth and high fashion is glorified. Wordsmith's "The Blue Collar Recital" Album is slated for a September 17th release via Ingrooves/Fontana.

Apocalypse in some way could be regarded as a farewell to Austin Peralta , a keyboardist who was part of Flying Lotus 's group of exemplary contributing musicians, who passed away from pneumonia last November, right before Thundercat was about to start production on Apocalypse . What we get is a more introspective Thundercat , questioning mortality, looking at the metaphysical, in bright and dark ways. Featuring his stellar electric bass arrangements, Apocalypse definitely has that FlyLo stamp but with [...]

If there are two things that are popular in indie music right now, those two things are mystery and Scandinavian pop. Danish artist Kill J has both. There is no background or story to share, just a few shadowy pictures and one song uploaded to Soundcloud. The thing is, that one song is very impressive—it [...]
Last June, Atlantic Connection helped showcase his chilled array of sounds on his beautiful Love Architect album. P&P heads should be up on Atlantic Connection, or least have heard his remix of The Weeknd's "The Morning," but if not, know that the project spanned a number of sounds, from chilled downtempo tapestries to tightly woven [...]
![Mac Miller- Watching Movies With The Lights Off [Album Review]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/5009396_lg.jpg)
If you would have told me two years ago that Mac Miller would put out a great album, I would have laughed at you. His music never appealed to me and I found him annoying. In my area everyone loved his first big single, Donald Trump, but I hated it. But something happened to Mac over the past couple of years, he's changed for the better. Maybe it's a sign of him maturing or him finding new friends in FlyLo and Odd Future. Whatever the reason is, Mac Miller has crafted one of the best Hip-Hop albums of the year. [...]
![[Audio] Kavinsky reMixed by Surkin](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/5009305_lg.jpg)
It’s the second reMix to Kavinsky ’s forthcoming Odd Look single. We introduced you to A-Trak’s reMix last week and next on the bill it’s fellow Frenchman Surkin . Surkin lends his deep French Electro sound to the originals haunting SynthWave resulting in a pounding slice of robotic emotion. The chord progression of the original tune is one that is evocative and cinematic, and that plays nicely into Surkin’s hands as he delivers a bassy Electro-House floorfiller with enough raw beats to keep the kids happy and enough humanity to lift their spirits. We [...]
