It's funny how Baauer 's "Harlem Shake" is now the #1 dance track on itunes and up to #10 OVERALL (according to yesterdays charts). America is always game for a viral trend, and the "Harlem Shake" video's have catapulted Baauer to not just national, but worldwide fame. The pop spotlight now shines on the year old track and it's turning everyone into believers. We knew it'd come, and we guess it's about time? Attempting to capitalize on the flavor of the week is Azelia Banks , current princess Harlot of Hip-Hop. She raps over [...]

Festival line-up announcement season is in full swing, reminding us that the cold will soon let up and we'll be able to rock out to our favorite music in the sunshine. Every year, we rave about how incredible Sasquatch! Festival is, with the breathtaking views of The Gorge in Washington and the laid back vibes you get camping with mostly Northwesterners and Canadians (they are SO nice). This year is no different. The Postal Service continue their tour of festivals with a headlining gig this year, joining Mumford [...]

I was out with a friend recently who asked what I thought of the newest Nas album. I hadn’t listened to it yet, but I said, though, that I loved Illmatic and should probably give it a chance. He laughed, reminded me that Illmatic came out in 1994 and asked if I had been listening to the new EL-P , another one he really loved. Nope, that one slipped my notice too. The Azelia Banks EP that all the indie-kids had been eating up? No, I missed [...]
Azelia takes us on a quick journey through her underwater world of psychedelia where you can ride a dolphin past the Greek column threshold into the outer atmosphere of Jupiter. The upbeat house soundbed is produced by Owwwwls, and the video was produced by Fafi.
Azelia flexes her pipes a bit more than usual on this Machinedrum produced track off of her Fantasia project. Black and white cityscapes, smokey eyes and vogue choreography highlight the visual. Broke With Expensive Taste drops Feb 12.

20 year-old Harlem hip-hoptress, Azealia Banks , has pushed back the release of her Fantasea Mixtape to July 11th. Azelia has revealed that it will include a cover of a track by 90’s icons, The Prodigy & expressed the mixtape has “a sea theme, but it’s less obviously mermaid stuff and more like witchy hip-hop and some real rave shit.” Her full-length debut album Broke with Expensive Taste is set for release later this fall. If you happen to be in LA on July 14th, don’t miss her [...]
Following the release of her latest single “Aquababe,” Harlem's Azealia Banks drops the video for the Rankin-assisted "Liquorice". What do you make of this? Pop a comment in the... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]
AZELIA BANKS presenta Jumanji, Prod. By HUDSON MOHAWKE & NICK HOOK. Bájate for the face, el ultimo trabajo firmado por la artista revelación neoyorkina, que cuenta con la producción de Hudson Mohawke (Hudson Mo o HudMo) conocido por sus trabajos en Warp. La verdad sea dicha la primera vez que escuche a Azelia pensé que era otra, de las tantas figuras que los mercados de la industria lanzan a modo de escaparate para subir y bajar a su antojo, realizandole producciones muy buenas y con gancho para su imagen trendy y formar así una estrella de la escena, y aunque [...]

So welcome to the fourth installment of my bi-monthly series on GITNB. It’s my way of saying thanks to those folks that have been cool to me, and a chance to give back to the community that I love so much. This was also an opportunity for me to give you, the reader, some insight into the blogs that have influenced me. Consider it my own personal take on #FF (Follow Fridays). The series will consist of a five question interview with a different blogger/writer each time, along with a few word associations and of course, a list of what [...]
Mathangi “Maya” Arulpragasam, más conocida como MIA , siglas de Missing In Action , es una artista bastante conocida en el mundo de la música, ya con muchas colaboraciones y tres álbumes de estudio a sus espaldas, los cuales no han hecho más que aumentar en popularidad y en calidad. En contraposición, tenemos a Azealia Banks , artista americana que pese a haber lanzado un sencillo y haber participado en algún tema extra, aún no tiene discografía. Su debut se está preparando en estos momentos, y parece ser que contará [...]
A few weeks late but better late than never! Keeping up with our tradition of past years, we’re highlighting which bands we think are going to gain some pretty serious attention. Call them awesome, addictive or just plain kick-ass… here are a few bands we love and expect lots more people will love them in the next 12 months! Conveyor Sun Ray Mukraker Soundcloud Twitter [...]
Azealia Banks performed this cut at the Magler Fashion Show in Paris last week, and now we have the studio version. ”Bambi” is a largely electro high energy concotion, that splits between conversation and spit fire mode. This girl is always so different and has again crafted a beauty.
As promised, Azealia Banks hits us up with a new track to help the soul destroying drag that is a Monday go past a little quicker. Rather than foul mouthed rap, or a club ready banger, "NEEDSUMLUV" has more of a laid back R&B feel, completely devoid of rapping. Miss Banks is a good singer, and whilst she doesn't have the kind of highly individual or powerful singing voice that really grabs your attention, what she demonstrates again here is a great choice in producers. She's already collaborated with Machinedrum (aka Sepalcure, producer of one of 20112s most [...]
Jake Shears and Co are readying the follow up to their 2010 album Night Work , and whilst that might be untitled, Scissor Sisters have returned with a brand new track titled "Shady Love". The track features some club like beats as well as some rapping from Shears but after a few listens I can't get it out of my head?! I don't know if that's a good thing or not just yet but they're back. It also features the lady of the moment (no, not Lana), Azealia Banks . Peep the newly released video at [...]
![[Listen] Azelia Banks - "Liquorice"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3939576_lg.jpg)
You may have heard of Azelia Banks, who between getting voted NME's coolest person this year and heading up the BBC Sound of 2012 list has also made some pretty catchy bad ass tracks this year. No doubt 2012 will hold some musical gold from the 21 year old, but in the mean time why not enjoy her new track to close out 2011 on a high. Titled "Liquorice" it's her doing her [...]
Glasgow based record label/artist collective LuckyMe is currently in the middle of their Advent Calendar , where they count down the days to Christmas by giving away free material from the artists on their roster. 2k11 has been especially good to LuckyMe , and these tracks from Rustie , Lunice , and Machinedrum are an exciting reminder of things to come.
