Potholes is known for their in-depth instrumental/beat music coverage, and today they've premiered a new single from San Francisco producer Redivider. “Buena Vista” has multiple sounds within itself, and is definitely one to peep. Stream below.
![Bombay Show Pig – “Fingerprint” (Arts The Beatdoctor Remix) [Potholes Premiere]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4814805_lg.jpg)
Bombay Show Pig, a Dutch alternative rock group, recently released a 103 EP with two original songs and two remixes. One of those remixes is from the one and only Arts the Beatdoctor. We have been itching for some new tunes from the mysterious producer, and this delicate remix is more than we could have ever asked for. While you might be more familiar with Arts' jazz-induced work, he has continued to adapt his sound with a more futuristic flare. That is certainly evident on "Fingerprint", as he dances along with beautiful synthesizers, complementing the female vocalist wonderfully. [...]
![Video: Rafiq Bhatia Performs Live At Glasslands In Brooklyn [Potholes Premiere]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4792869_lg.jpg)
Photo by Timothy Saccenti Rafiq Bhatia first caught our attention when Sons of the Morning remixed his stunning cut " Sunshower ". Since then, the jazz guitarist has exploded onto the underground scene with an album that is unlike anything we have heard before. It is called Yes It Will , a challenging piece of music that tests the limits of jazz as we know it. Rooted deeply in be-bop, Bhatia uses his guitar to take the listener places it wouldn't usually go. Today, we continue our exploration of Bhatia's [...]

Before Vulkan the Krusader drops his new album, V , tomorrow, we're giving y'all one final preview of the record with "Letter to Claire". The Kodak To Graph-produced joint serves as an open letter of sorts to the rapper's crush: Claire Boucher, aka Grimes. He tells her that he'll be the Joker to her Harley Quinn and that they can listen to Depeche Mode while Ninja Scroll is on mute. The remainder of the cut is filled with similar heart on the sleeve-isms that we're hoping Grimes gets a chance to hear. Listen below.

![Flying Lotus – “Until The Quiet Comes” (Almighty Sion Edit) [Potholes Premiere]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4772787_lg.jpg)
Almighty Sion is probably a new name to you, but we are certainly familiar with these two artists that joined together to create this dynamic duo. They are SertOne and Bolts , the latter of which is actually signed to Potholes Music, too. As an introduction to our readers, we are proud to premiere their new edit of Flying Lotus' "Until The Quiet Comes". A tough pick to take on indeed, but we feel these two beatsmiths handled the task with honor and ease, as they chopped up Badu's vocals from "See Thru To U" and spun together an [...]

![Jessie Ware – “Devotion” (Distinction Refix) [Potholes Premiere]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4750206_lg.jpg)
London-based producer Distinction made a name for himself last year with some notables remixes of PIMB favorites Danny Brown and Frank Ocean , among others. And now we can officially add Jessie Ware to that list, as Distinction has taken on the title track of her 2012 debut, Devotion . The tune focuses on her more breathy vocal moments, with some portions sounding like instruments instead of, you know, her voice . It almost reaches cloud rap levels of all-encompassing atmosphere and huge drums, which leaves me thinking the right MC [...]
![Vulkan The Krusader – “Decadence & Class” P. DJ Buttamilk [Potholes Premiere]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4741196_lg.jpg)
We've been diggin' the tracks Vulkan the Krusader 's been dropping these past few months, from his joint with Kool A.D. to the recent blunted posse cut . But on "Decadence & Class", Vulkan goes it alone over some thick production from frequent collaborator DJ Buttamilk. If you have somehow been sleeping on dude and his own unique approach to cloudy, smoky boom-bap, it's time for that to change. He's gearing up to drop a new project, V , on Valentine's Day, and chances are you'll be checkin' for it once you give "Decadence & Class" [...]
For those unfamiliar, Kevin J. Simon is a multi-talented artist based out of Brooklyn. He calls Dallas home, though, and that's where he's currently chillin' as we bring you the premiere of his new holiday EP, Memories to be Made . It finds a middle-ground between hip-hop and indie rock with guest appearances by talented vocalists Ally Hoffman and Cassie Holt. If Simon's name or style looks familiar, there's a good reason for that: we previously posted his music under the alias of YesItsFiasco . Download: Kevin J. Simon - Memories to Be Made [...]
Big Quarters is the Minneapolis-based, rapper-producer brothers duo of Brandon Allday and Medium Zach. And on Nov. 24, they released their latest project, the Somos No Joke EP. Contained within the effort's eight tracks are loads of sharp and honest lyrics matched with distorted, booming, and guitars-heavy production. You'll also find some strong guest features from Longshot, I.B.E., and Doomtree's Sims. Somos no joke, indeed. We're hosting an exclusive stream of the EP, which you can check out below. Cop it at Fifth Element or iTunes .
![Monolithium – “Bounce 4 Life” (Ryan Hemsworth Remix) [Potholes Premiere]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4635218_lg.jpg)
Monolithium is a Victoria, British Columbia-repping producer who just dropped a new single, Bounce 4 Life , this past Tuesday via Error Broadcast. And we're proud to bring you an exclusive first listen of Potholes favorite Ryan Hemsworth 's killer remix of the title track. His signature sounds are all over this cut, which means plenty of massive drums, thick bass, and some screwed vocal samples. Check out the remix below and grab the single here .
We are proud to bring you the premiere of the third label compilation from Portland, Ore.'s Circle Into Square, an indie that mainly brings the world new and exciting folk and electronic music. There are also some solid doses of hip-hop on this third volume on tracks by acts like Cars & Trains , Big Pauper, Loden , and Not The 1s. The folk-tinged jams are just as exciting, though, especially the way they seamlessly fit in with their drums-heavy brethren. You can stream and download the entire project below. And, yeah, it's free . Download: [...]
Berlin-based producer My Dry Wet Mess will release his sophomore album, Stereo Typing , next Tuesday, Nov. 13 via the fine folks over at Brainfeeder. But before it drops, we're giving you an exclusive listen to a mix of all the project's tracks. MDWM has combined them into a nearly 3.5-minute mix, which allows you to hear just how refreshing and thick the production is here. Stereo Typing represents 15 months of solid work from MDWM, who became an instant favorite of ours when his debut, Irrational Alphabet [...]
For those unaware, Ritmo Machine is the duo of DJ Latin Bitman and percussionist Eric Bobo . Chances are you have at least heard the work of the latter if you have blasted the Beastie Boys ' Check Your Head or Ill Communication . Bobo was featured on both of those albums and also toured extensively with the seminal Brooklyn act. Not only that, but he's a mainstay of the Cypress Hill camp and several other groups. But in the case of this post, Bobo's flexing his work on the skins with [...]
