I've been writing and listening to a lot of Magic Man since seeing them live at Neon Gold Records' PopShop . I've seen them a few times live since and they are quickly escalating to my favorite new pop band. Then there's the P O P goodness that is Pacific Air who created one of the best/catchiest songs of 2012 with "Float" only improved by their bathing suit model filled video . The only thing better than my favorite bands putting out new music is them remixing each other's music. Magic Man remixed Pacific Air's "Lose [...]
With the third installment of WackWednesdays but actually the 4th song released off of the forthcoming album including the WackSunday edition, the guys of The Lonely Island bring us all back to school to teach us a lesson. Well kind of. While the guys seem very committed to proving just how much they love to use the often mis-used punctuation mark in their new song "Semicolon", they may have glazed over one small rule from grammar school that probably has English teachers everywhere cringing. The Wack Album is due out June 11th. [...]

You know it's going to be a pretty good day when word comes out that Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros have released their first official single off their forthcoming self-titled album, even if the folk crooner is singing about "Better Days". Because a few things are almost always certain when Mr. Ebert drops some new tunes, and that is you know the song will be laid back, easy to whistle along to and make you forget all your worries with each and every listen. Stream the new single below and look for the [...]

Having individually released tracks on labels such as OMGITM and Coco Machete, the musical partnership between MarKus Lange and Vanilla known as Ostblockschlampen continues to gain momentum. On June 3 the Teutonic twosome will present their Signs EP on Police Records, and we're pleased to debut the title track from the three-tracker. Brimming with high-octane synth lines, ravey vibes and lots of bass, Ostblockschlampen show the world that they aren't afraid to mix things up. "Signs" is a big-room club hit in the making and is the official song of [...]

The 1975 released their newest EP IV today, and just in case you are not sure if you will like it or not, the guys have released a free stream of the new songs for all to listen to. Much like the other EP's, the latest features only four tracks, but packs a punch as if it were a full-length album. I did notice that IV seems to be a little less indie rock and little more ambient rock with its slowed down dreamy sound, which is a testament to the band's [...]

![Lucas Nord – Embrace Me part II (feat. Urban Cone) : Must Hear Progressive House from Rising Swedish Producer [TSIS PREMIERE]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4964580_lg.jpg)
Say hello to a fairly fresh name to most of you Lucas Nord . He is a rising Swedish house producer from Stockholm with a unique melodic hard hitting style. Today we have "Embrace Me part II" , an upbeat electro powered progressive house anthem that is the rebirth sequel to his part 1. The song features vocals from fellow Stockholm based live act Urban Cone really make the track something special. We get a futuristic sounding dance track that you can't quite categorize that can be enjoyed in any setting. We have been lucky enough to get the US [...]

From the first moment I heard Erika Spring 's angelic "oh, in the danger zone," over Airbird & Napolian 's gigantic beats and slap bass, I knew something special was about to happen. By the time it ended, I felt like it was over far too quickly for such a wonderfully composed track. It was over as quickly as I fell in love with it. While not much is known about Airbird & Napolian just yet, Cascine promises a proper full length by the end of the year... which we eagerly await. The first [...]
I had a preconceived notion of Cam Meekins 's music. Just yesterday I probably thought the same things you are thinking right now, and at first listen I thought this song did not really change my opinion of him. It sounds too clean, too good, too poppy, etc. Ugh. I could feel myself making lame excuses not to like this track. Cam Meekins is my age. He’s rapping about things that I go through. It sounds good because, not only has he improved as a rapper-especially in delivery-since I last listened to him (admittedly not [...]

Wu-Tang Clan dropped a new song this morning to build up a little hype for their forthcoming A Better Tomorrow album due out in July. Not that they really need to build any hype once they attach the name Wu-Tang to it. The track "Execution In Autumn" is actually a previously unreleased recording that features about half the members of Wu including RZA , Raekwon , U-God and Inspectah Deck, but its still new WTC music nonetheless. And while its almost guaranteed that anybody who grew up listening to Wu-Tang will make comments [...]

Well this was a pleasant surprise. Just weeks before Man Overboard's new album is released, the guys took to youtube to stream Heart Attack in its entirety for all their fans to listen to. And with all that time until the new album is released for everyone to listen to and judge and talk about, you gotta think the guys are pretty confident in their work to knowingly allow that to happen. I gotta say that after listening through the entire album it is nothing but one great song after another. It plays [...]

Nuestros queridos Be&Bea nos mandaron este fino mixtape que hicieron con mucho amor para todos ustedes. Cada uno de los tracks derrama amor por todos lados, bien podría ser un mixtape del 14 de febrero. Todo el amor de la B en un mixtape. Enjoy.

Well it's humpday, and you know what that means. It's time for another installment of WackWednesdays from The Lonely Island . This time, the guys slow it down a bit and sing somewhat of a love ballad. A very, very messed up love ballad. Taking on the always taboo topic of incest, "I Fucked My Aunt" really doesn't need all that much more explanation beyond the title. Just make sure you don't accidentally find yourself singing along to this one in public, or worse, going ahead and fornicating with your aunt. And if [...]

Det er mig en glæde at kunne præsentere The Divers’ video til nummeret The Beach , duoens første single fra et kommende debutalbum, der vil udkomme på 12″ vinyl senere på året. Videoen er optaget udenfor Los Angeles ved Big Sur, hvor Santa Lucia-bjergene dramatisk rejser sig op af Stillehavet. Forsanger Benjamin Kongsted var for nyligt i Los Angeles for at opsøge sin far, som han aldrig havde set eller hørt fra. Optagelserne til videoen bærer derfor præg af en bevæget ung mand, der er i midt at udrede sin fortid og er ved at finde sig [...]
![Valentino Khan – Luxe EP : Electro House / Trap [Free Download] [TSIS PREMIERE]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4949597_lg.jpg)
LA based Valentino Khan , the guy who is responsible for co-producing " Bubble Butt" with Diplo on the new Major Lazer album just his us up to share his newest 2 track Luxe EP . The lead single "Luxe" is a 808 filled electro heater that is calling to set off the next rave. Next up is his 'Valentino Khan's Trap Myself Remix' of "Luxe" taking the track to a even fresher bass heavy monster that still packs that chaotic vibes of the original. Don't [...]

It sometimes feels all bit strange when things just fall into place. It was not even 24 hours after one of my friends (hello Claire) was explaining to me why I should check out The Graphite Set , did their debut EP drop through my letterbox. If that's not the universe telling me to turn up the stereo and have a listen then I don't know what is. The EP itself, These Streets , will be released by Thumbscrew Music on 3rd June, and sees Lily Buchanan's rich thunderous voice paired with some grungy blues and [...]

My introduction to Amber States was the fantastic Son of a Gun that I picked up on the Teeth Records Grapefruit compilation , and it soundtracked that summer for me pretty damn perfectly. Now with Breathe in the Water , their euphoric/melancholic sounds will be soundtracking the sunshine in 2013 as well. We've had the track on repeat since the showed off a video of them playing on the busk barge back in February , but its getting a proper release on May 22nd and comes with a hazy 90s sun-kissed video that [...]

You might not know it yet but you (will) know Joe Janiak. Other than his vocal and co-write feature on Bondax's mega track "Gold," Janiak apparently has his own arsenal of pop tracks to complement those serious vocals chops. "Steel Toe Boots" 'fires at will' with a patient and well conducted arrangement of sparse guitar and piano work, atmospheric effects, beats... and that voice, seriously check out that voice! Get familiar with Joe Janiak and grab a free download of "Steel Toe Boots" below. Joe Janiak [...]
