With Gingrich's devastating Floridian loss, once again I feel justified for naming this hardcore festival news roundup column Pit Romney. Here's what's new... Don't sell the Midwest short, as Chicago-based fest The Rumble has declared much of its 2012 lineup, with classic headline acts Negative Approach and Murphy's Law topping a bill with scene favorites [...]

It was nearly one year ago that I wrote of my fascination with the nearly unknown (to me) world of British popstars and especially my obsession at the time with the bizarro Brit version of Black Eyed Peas known as N Dubz . You may recall that at the time I casually mentioned how I was planning on doing everything in my power to promote them. Well ... that never happened. In fact, other than listening to "Girls" over and over for a brief while, I generally kind of forgot about them myself. Then Ricky made [...]
Those instruments don't set themselves up, ladies and gentlemen; where there's a big metal show there's also a crew of roadies doing all the tough work behind the scenes. Vice Magazine has put together a documentary mini-series called On the Road, which they're releasing in bite-sized chunks of 10-minute episodes, to pay tribute to these heroes [...]
Jinesis documents the final stand of his dreadlocks as he visits the barber shop to the backdrop of one of his recent beats "No Regrets" from the Otisis project. Read More about Hip Hop & Street Art at Flawless Hustle.

Another quality piece of production from LR favourites Noisia. Teaming up with Phace on this one, its an avalanche of shuddering beats and bass. Definitely worth checking out if you havent heard this yet. I'd also like to recommend this little beauty from Phace. Released on neosignal a few months back. Definitely pushing the sound [...]

Another great production from Jack Dixon. I reakon the remix really gives this track the kick up the arse it needed in the first place! Summery vibes galore. Making me look forward to my holidays in two weeks! If you havent heard of him before be sure to check out his track 'coconuts'. His track [...]
Dappy (nee Dino Contostavlos) is one-third of the UK smasher grime pop group N-Dubz , and "No Regrets" is the first single and title track from his forthcoming solo debut effort, out September 19. The video for the track, shot by music video legendary director Benny Boom (Nicki Minaj, 50 Cent, R Kelly, Snoop Dogg), is all high production value, posturing, side storylines and rooftops aka a really nice attempt to get some fans stateside. It's working we think. Godspeed!
If you've turned on the radio over the last few weeks I'm sure you'll have heard the original version of this. No doubt a great vocal but a bit lacking in the bass department. This tasty remix rectifies that very nicely!
Another belting tune from Hackman. Featured in one of my previous BeLazy mixes, Hackman has released a few tunes that have really made me take notice of his productions. This one starts off slightly strangely with a very odd vocal (samples Alicia Keys - No One) but soon unleashes that signature bass sound of his [...]
If you haven't already heard of this guy I'm sure you will soon. He's just released a load of dates across the UK and Europe including Bestival, the Warehouse Project in Manchester and Waxon in Newcastle. LR will definitely be checking him out and we urge you to do the same! I'm absolutely loving [...]

An absolute belter for the last of the bank holidays. This will sound awesome played out at Outlook on the beach in summer!

If the average music festival is a 26.2 mile marathon, then SXSW is a 140-mile Iron Man challenge. Waking up on day four, our skin was burnt, our ankles were swollen, and our ears were bleeding. But just when it seemed like all hope was lost and we'd spend the day sleeping - one brave, grown-ass man poured a red bull into his coffee, gave a stern look across the kitchen table and said the following words: "...Tighten. The Fuck. Up." And just like that we were off for the final day of SXSW. [...]
