To say that there is no longer good music being made is both naive and false, perhaps more a reflection of the speaker than of the modern music scene itself. Just as in any other time period, there exists a plethora of exciting, engaging, intelligent new musicians and song crafters. What is true about today, however, is that it does seem to be more difficult to find said artists. Record companies are in shambles, independent radio, while making a comeback, is a fraction of the size of its former self and there are just so many bands. To [...]
![Nativity In Manila [Upcoming Events + Tour Dates]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4901943_lg.jpg)
Greetings Everyone! Apologies for the lack of musical messages on Dank Radio for the past couple weeks or so. I've been gearing up for a trip to the motherland: The Philippines. I'm headed out there for some family fun and figured, "Why don't I have some musical fun as well?!" So I sought out help from a few Los Angeles based music friends [Alvin of Renegades of Dub + Spazzkid ] and reached out to a handful of wonderful DJs/Promoters/Organizers/Party People and worked out some dates. I still have a few more that have yet to be [...]

![The Pursuit x Danny Brown – Jealousy TR-ILL E.P [Official Video]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4873437_lg.jpg)
London producer The Purist dropped his TR-ill E.P back in February featuring some grimy dirty MPC funk featuring the likes of Danny Brown, Havoc of Mobb Deep , and Cas . Here we got the video for the first single Jealousy featuring Danny Brown ravaging the track with a line from the Biggie Smalls classic Ten Crack Commandments as the hook. The video is made by Globodigital the same folks that cooked up the video for The Miracle by Homeboy Sandman. The video is pretty trippy but fits perfectly with the songs overall simplistic complexity. You can pick up the full E.P. [...]

Caspian (Photo: Mike G.) Photo Gallery: Emily Turner Noise Pop 2013 has come and gone, and it ended on an epically high note. Post-rock mainstays Caspian were towering and majestic, a thing of primal beauty, on Sunday night at Bottom of the Hill, but that being said, supporting act Native was the real story of the night for me, if only because I knew nothing about them going in, and they officially earned [...]

Los muchachos de Local Natives siguen cosechando el éxito de su segundo disco de estudio, Hummingbird , editado recientemente. Este nuevo esfuerzo de los nativos de California nos ha gustado mucho: el seguidor de Gorilla Manor obtuvo una calificación de 8/10 según nuestra compañera Jackie. En esta oportunidad, Local Natives presentan el video oficial para su primer sencillo, “Heavy Feet” , una canción con unos coros encantadores y que no pierde para nada su introspección y melancolía.

Our friends over at IHeartComix have quite the lineup to kick off their first OFF/CNTR 2013 event this Saturday February 22nd. They've rounded up the likes of Jimmy Edgar [Hot Flush|Warp|Berlin] + Addison Groove [50Weapons|Tectonic|UK] + Grenier [Tectonic|Frite Nite] + Sodapop [Anticon] to perform at Los Globos . We've been spinning Jimmy Edgar's recent productions with Machinedrum under the creative alias, Jets, on a handful of recent Dank Radio episodes. For those of you who saw the Disclosure b2b Skream Boiler Room set that was Jets [Jimmy Edgar + [...]
It's seems like forever ago that Local Natives first appeared with their sparkling debut LP, Gorilla Manor . And in today's terms, it was. Released back in 2009, the album was a slow-burner in the truest sense of the word; gradually winning more hearts and minds as the months ticked by. After a triumphant set at ATP Festival in December firmly whetted the appetite, it was a real joy to finally play their follow-up record this week, when Hummingbird was finally released. Sounding as bright and beautiful as ever before, the [...]
Adam Green & Binki Shapiro – Adam Green & Binki Shapiro [Rounder/Decca] Ele é metade do Moldy Peaches e ela um terço do Little Joy . E juntos, Adam Green e Binki Shapiro , lançam seu álbum de estreia cheio de romantismo e saudosismo. Em seu debut, Binki consegue superar o fato de, tecnicamente, não ser uma cantora de muitos recursos com uma voz extremamente espontânea e doce. Adam também é espontâneo, mas nesse caso com uma voz grave, que em contraste com sua parceira faz [...]
Beautiful song från OneRepublic. Taken from their upcoming LP Native .

![Focus OC Present: Blond:ish 1/22 [Upcoming Event + Tickets On-Sale]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4734115_lg.jpg)
This Tuesday we are proud to bring you the Orange County debut of Blond:ish [ Official | Facebook | Twitter | Soundcloud ] ! This will be an exclusive So Cal appearance by the duo (Anstacia & Vive-Ann) and we are super excited. In the last few years, Blond:ish has carved out a unique production recipe which focuses on the art of creating music that is organic and multi-dimensional. Provocative basslines contrasted with smooth textures and sticky vocals that blend into a genre of house that rebels against being pigeonholed to any specific category. [...]
![Duke Dumont - BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix - Future Stars of 2013 [DJ Mix + Tracklist]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4734117_lg.jpg)
Duke Duke Duke Dumont. You can say this Londoner is my favorite producer at the moment. The first track of his I really liked was Thunder Clap. It's one of those 127 bpm high energy ones that at the time was easily blendable to the big room bangers I was spinning more of at that period. As time went on my grooves started slowing down and getting more base line friendly and really focused on soulful vocals. I forgot how I discovered it but I stumbled upon his track Need U (100%) [purchase @ Beatport ] and boy oh [...]
I almost forgot that Justin Timberlake sings. Last time I heard from the dude he was co-staring in that one romantic comedy opposite of Mila Kunis. Looks like JT is back with a little help from his friends. On production duty for Suit & Tie [purchase @ iTunes ] is our favorite Timbaland. Jay-Z shares some thoughts and bars of his own on the track. Suit & Tie is the first single from his upcoming full length titled The 20/20 Experience. Just as long as Justin and Timbaland stick to songs, I don't care about them being poppy, with [...]
