Jhameel has a background so interesting it is probably included in most articles concerning his exciting brand of pop. The story starts (we think) with him joining the United States army, being able to speak Russian, Arabic, Spanish and Korean, skills probably in high demand for officers (not that we would know). Though for one reason or another - and there are plenty to choose from - he has since left the army having signed an irrevocable contract (sounds ominous) due to the USAs presence in the middle east. Then for this extremely talented individual, he continued on to receive [...]

It marks the sign of a degree of certain music prestige to be known by your first name only – Prince , Bono , and, of course, Super Bowl queen Madonna .

Approximately 6 minutes ago I threw on a 561 song party- playlist titled " letsgo up" (shout out to smart playlists ) and this banger kicked me in the dome. As I feel it is my duty to get you pumped and ready for the evening, I felt obligated to share this one with all of you. This is in new way "new" (released in May of 2010) but if you haven't heard it, it's new to you. KickKickSnare, White Girl Lust and Prince hope your evening is filled with the lust of [...]

Gigamesh 's physical and online presence can't go unnoticed. In addition to being one of the tallest producers in the game, he also has held the top spot on Hype Machine's Most Popular list with several of his remixes. Gigamesh hails from the Midwestern state of Minnesota where music icon Prince also calls home, so it's no surprise that Gigamesh is also making a name for himself. Gigamesh remixes have been in heavy rotation here at ATG. He demonstrates his versatility with the spectrum of tracks he's covered - everything from Foster the People to Citizens! to Katy [...]

Gary Clark Jr. es un guitarrista originario de Austin, Texas. Comenzó su carrera como guitarrista en el circuito blues de esa ciudad por ahí de los 15 años y de pronto, a pasos agigantados se ha puesto en la mira del mundo de la música. Le llaman la reencarnación de Hendrix, salvador del soul, quien hará popular el blues dentro la audiencia actual, acostumbrada a la música mainstream prefabricada. Esas afirmaciones son de mucho peso y aceptémoslo, muy aventuradas, pero también hay que reconocer que son justificadas. Clark Jr. se mantuvo consistente como guitarrista [...]

Tweet Listen to and download the new track from Contrakids , "All The Way Back" , which samples Justin Timberlake 's "What Goes Around... / ...Comes Around" . I love a bit of JT, me. Who doesn't? And you know what? I don't care if Timbaland has ripped every single one of his beats off from obscure Turkish folk tunes and (frankly awful) Finnish electronica. Fair play to the [...]
