whasss goin my friends? Today we skip away from the bass-heavy riddims and enter into a more ethereal part of our minds with a new track from Airhead - and it is fresher than yo' ma's washing. London producer Robert McAndrews AKA Airhead is one of the most adaptable, diverse sound scientists around at the moment. He's best pals with James Blake who we all know and love, and similarly to Blake, Airhead is adept at making luscious chilled out soundscapes that whisk you away to a higher plane. [...]

From the Mailbag So, here's the deal. I can't begin to listen to, digest or publish everything we receive. About once or twice a month in 2013, I'll open new mail - and so long as the stuff is potentially of interest to our music-crazed audiences, we'll publish it. It gives everyone - no matter who you are, what kind of music you make, no matter your budget, a chance to reach our audience. [...]

I've said this before: Chance (the Rapper) makes this rap stuff look easy. In the video for his latest release off Acid Rap , Chance and Hannibal Buress (the comic) are given $5k to shoot a video, which they promptly use a flimsy premise to do whatever the hell they want. And, of course, it turns out to be a cool-ass video. Check the cameo by Childish Gambino , who I would like to think is in the Spider-Man costume but probably isn't. In the end, the video and the song have [...]
Mornin' Afternoon and good evening. Here's something to delight your day, that I just couldn't let slip... Say hello to Manni Dee, a mysterious Brighton based badman, making interesting, genre blurring music that excites me more than Matilda in a Library. This is recent release on 2nd Drop records - featuring London Lad Deft. The track is rhythm porn. The fast paced african beats mixed with staccato samples and asynchronous stops and starts gets the heart pumping to some sky high levels of BPM. This adrenaline-laced number uses bass in the most minimal [...]

But you can see that much for yourself in today's music video. The new album (now available on vinyl) comes with it's own throwback comic book. [...]

Until The Ribbon Breaks ' "Pressure" came out in 2012, but with an official video release the song is resurrected. The video is like Walking Dead meets American Horror story entrenched in deeply throbbing synths wrapped up in a bow of eerily soothing R&B vocals that will make you feel tingles throughout your entire body. Chills? Goosebumps? Holy emotions. THANK YOU to Andrew Hwang at Neon Gold . Video: Until The Ribbon Breaks - "Pressure" |
Names to Know 2013 New Music Video A NOTE FROM THE BAND: "In the future, robots will perform all the music we listen to.

Grime hasn't had an easy road lately. With grime having slowly become a sordid affair known as 'grime pop' it would seem that the 'badmen' of yesteryear have drowned in the deluge of 'funky bassline' and 'future garage' - lost in the maelstrom of whiny vocals and bass-so-bouncy even thumper would get a headache... thumper not feeling too good because future garage is really nasty sometimes... Yes, one would be forgiven thinking that the good ole' days of the early two thousands are long gone. BUT THEY'RE NOT. [...]
