Mount Kimbie presents "You Took Your Time" ft. King Krule, from their forthcoming album " Cold Spring Fault Less Youth".
An eerie fusion of electronic music and hip hop on this new track from When Saints Go Machine, "Love and Respect," which is a cut from the Danish quartet's new album, Infinity Pool . It's dropping this week via EMI Records and !K7 Records.
Music seems to be going through a wave of darker themes, as evident from both the electronic and hip hop worlds. Of course happy-go-lucky music will always be bumping at every party, but it just seems like 2010's (as a decade) might be a transitional period in which the music world juggles both styles. With this, more serious themes beyond just the good times can be exposed, and bring awareness to some of the pain and problems in our society. Rapper/Producer MR gives us a dose of reality with his new mixtape, My Rhymes Vol. 1 : [...]

Plot twist? The Neighbourhood releases a new track that dives headfirst into their hip-hop influences. "West Coast" is the most hip-hop influenced track since their initial EP release, and while it might take some adjusting for the unfamiliar it's actually an intriguing step for the band. What if they'd have continued in the "Sweater Weather"/"West Coast" direction instead of "Wires"/"Let It Go"? Food for thought. "If the sun was God I'd be covered in faith, if the ocean was the devil I'd be covered in hate..." [...]

Here's a nice track from the hip hop band Anydaynow , "Interstate 223. Well hip hop may be the wrong word for it, maybe it's better to say soul-vibing rock with rap lyrics. They have anyhow created their very own pleasant mix, recorded, they say, in a shower room inside a an old worn building out in the Swedish woods, just a few steps away from the airport. The song is taken from their new EP "The Heartbreak" which was released recently. You'll also find their debut single from last year here below, "College". Anydaynow on Facebook [...]

Dutch producer deeB recently released his newest EP on Dusted Wax Kingdom. After his first EP called Daydream he made a selection of more organic/natural beats. Last year deeB played on the little stage Beatflakes hosted on Solar Festival . Simply because we knew this guy had some amazing tunes that are perfect to relax to in combination with some sunshine and a few beers. So when we heard about this new album we knew it couldn't disappoint us. And it didn't. It contains 9 beats so I'd rather approach this as being an [...]
ALTHOUGH only released in 2006 but recorded almost a decade before, Darc Mind's long-awaited, almost forgotten album was still a breath of fresh air. Originally recorded between 1995 and 1997 for Loud Records, the New York label went bust and Symptomatic Of A Greater Ill never saw the light of day recently, when Anticon unearthed it and put it out to a muted response. But the Darc Mind duo of rapper Kevroc and producer X-Ray are two treasures that had to be found. Kevroc's rap style is a laid back one, but with metronome-sharp timing, instrumental old-school [...]
Denmark… it’s something in the water over there. They just know how to create better music than the rest of us. Case in point: WHEN SAINTS GO MACHINE and their newest release Infinity Pool, a stunning mirage of psychedelic electro pop, which also blends in enough elements of rave (without all the boisterous party and The post When Saints Go Machine - Infinity Pool appeared first on Nothing But Hope And Passion - NBHAP - Music Magazine & more .
Whatever you're doing, Greedhead signed rapper Le1f , is probably doing it better.This becomes more and more obvious in his music videos, when his aggression, swagger, and overall badassery take over the screen. Since his past two mixtapes, Dark York and Fly Zone , he hasn't yet shown any signs of slowing down, and has now released "Spa Day." In this song, he brings his unique style and sound yet again, and creates a day at the spa that is probably unlike anything anyone's actually experienced. While anyone new to Le1f will [...]
