Snoop Lion (a.k.a. Snoop Dogg , a.k.a. Snoop Doggy Dogg ) has taken quite a few surprising turns in recent years. First, there was his questionable guest verse on Katy Perry’s “California Girls” , which was definitely Snoop sounding his laziest, even if it did make the track more infectious. Then he convinced “Like a G6” stars The Cataracs to filter his voice through Autotune and crap out a hit single called “Wet” , which [...]

The Diplo & Switch collective returns with the fourth installation in their remix series. As usual they provide the full spectrum of today's bass music while making sure not to neglect their island inspired roots. Personally I'm partial to the "Get Free" remix feat. Chronixx but the Snoop Lion feat. Drake joint is no slouch either. Stream and download the project for free below.

Major Lazer 's Free The Universe is fast approaching, making way for what is sure to be a month filled with promotional leaks. The latest is "Jessica", which features the high-pitched vocals of Vampire Weekend's Ezra Koenig. This one sounds like it came right out of the '70s dancehall scene, as lo-fi instrumentation grooves along to Ezra's infectious tune. Certainly different from what we are used to from Koenig and his work with Vampire Weekend. Stream "Jessica" below. Free The Universe drops April 15.

Katy B's one of our favorite emerging pop stars - her songs are Top 40 radio-ready, sure, sexy, fun, and catchy, but they're quite smart too, taking account of underground electronic trends and often featuring indie stars. Her new EP Danger is fantastic - it features everyone from Jessie Ware (who duets and trades off admonitions with Katy on "Aaliyah") to Iggy Azealea (on "Light as a Feather") to help from the grime rapper Wiley (who adds a verse over a fantastic, tropical-meets-industrial Zinc beat on the [...]
In case you missed it, here's a recap of current events: Snoop Dogg's resurrected himself as his reggae alter ego Snoop Lion and is releasing a new record called Reincarnated . His new single is the Major Lazer -produced, Angela Hunte -featuring single "Here Comes the King." Hunte has a great, catchy hook, Diplo and company (including Ariel Rechtshaid and 6Blocc ) drop a bubbly, shimmying beat, and Snoop himself unwinds his chill stoner rap persona out into some utopian blunt-passing verses. Check it out. [...]
Diplo hosts a BBC Radio program every week where he plays new music in club, electronic, hip hop, and whatever the fuck else he wants. This week, he did a three hour mix for Halloween . Obviously, I haven't had a chance to listen to the whole thing, but this would have been perfect for those house parties last week where dumb asses didn't load a playlist and just kept having to go over and change their iPod. Check out the three hour mix, DJ-ed by Diplo and his crew. Full tracklist [...]

Major Lazer 's Free The Universe may have been pushed all the way the hell back to February 19th, but that doesn't mean Diplo is going on vacation. Au contraire, he's using the extra three months to keep a steady stream of singles and hype going for his project. "Jah No Partial," the latest single, was co-produced by English dubstep maestro Joshua Steele, who known by many as Flux Pavilion (who is known by many more for being sampled by [...]
Diplo offers this "Trapstyle" remix of "Sweet Nothing," Calvin Harris ' song with Florence + The Machine frontwoman Florence Welch . Amidst Diplo's acupuncture needle fine percussion, he sends Flo's inimitable wail into a gravity-defying tailspin and makes the most out of Harris' catchy synth riff. All in all, a good day's work.

One of those unreleased tracks is a mellow instrumental titled "Flotus", a dreamy hip-hop cloud where all your thoughts and worries float away with the beat. This is the kind of song where you press play and you become lost in the music. Stream it below, and head here [...]

Straying from his usual dance-friendly style, Diplo drops a new track titled "About That Life" that seems more suited for a hippe communion in the forest than a dance floor. Taking a note from Hot Chip's book, Diplo brings flutes into play, juxtaposing them with the soothing vocals of Jahan Lennon. Pull out a joint, light some incense, and stream the song below.
The Disco Biscuits are throwing a pretty sweet party in Philly - well, a two-night party - October 5 and 6.
