There really isn't anything RYAN HEMSWORTH can't do when it comes to producing. Whether it's his silky smooth originals, his ridiculous (also: mostly hilarious) remixes or in this instance, his mixtapes - you know you're in for a good time. As people are finally beginning to catch onto this, he's slowly beginning to get some bookings that he deserves. One of those bookings is New York City's Downtown Festival - unsurprisingly it's curated by the local label, Downtown Records . The festival itself takes its stripes from [...]

Hello music lovers. Here is your weekly mixtape. I took the photograph above at Miami Beach Australia. Download the high resolution version of this photograph . (12.5MB) I would encourage you to watch those crazy meteorite videos over Russia last night while you listen to the mixtape. An interesting side note is that insurance fraud in Russia means that people use dashboard cameras in their cars for evidence. A side effect is that we've got about 20 different angles of that meteorite over Russia . So you can thank russian insurance scammers for those [...]
With the diversity of today's music and it's manifold influences it's getting harder and harder to define it by just simple things like categories. Very often the solution seems to be found in creating a new genre or by combining different ones - this is why we have such new and fancy names like chillwave,

Stream: T.Shirt & Purity Ring - “Shrines mixtape”

Every now and then something comes along that blows my mind while simultaneously making my lady bits tingle. This is one of those moments. Here we have the gothic pop of Purity Ring mixed with the grimey rhymes of up-and-coming rapper T. Shirt. It's musically erotic and somehow completely sensual. I dig. Cop it here . posted by @clarkbs

Original Image by Funchye By the time you this post is up and you read it I will be somewhere in Spain on a long overdue trip. That’s part of the reason why August has been an iffy month for me blogging wise with too many (mostly welcome) distractions. It's also the reason why in all likelihood the first half of September is going to be a little light on the blogging front as well. Things should pick [...]

![LETS DO A SUMMER MIXTAPE with [RAC, Adventure Club, Goldroom, Viceroy, DWNTWN, Ghost Beach, Cry Wolf and Lights & Music]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4392381_lg.jpg)
When I first started the blog feature on Lights & Music last month, this mixtape was the first idea that I put into action. Wikipedia, in-short describes mixtapes as usually reflecting the musical tastes of its compiler, a conceptual mix of songs linked by a theme or mood tailored to the tape's intended recipient. Yeah sure, we've all made mixtapes before. But, what happens when you get a bunch of artists and bloggers to make a mixtape with the intended recipient being you? Thats what I wanted to find out. The concept is simple, yet I hadn't really seen it anywhere [...]

We will be back from Sasquatch with tons of amazing content for you. If any of our readers or artist would are attending Sasquatch this year and would [...]

Purity Ring (a.k.a. Halifax/Montreal duo Corin Roddick and Megan James) have been riding high as of late. They've already amassed a fan base and significant critical acclaim based on the strength of a trio of slowly teased out singles. Well, earlier this week they announced the release date, album art, tracklisting, and first single from their 4AD-released debut album Shrines . Alongside previously released cuts like Ungirthed , Lofticries and Bellispeak , the album will feature eight previously unreleased cuts. "Obedear" is the first of these tracks to see the light of day. More mellow and atmospheric than [...]

Historically, September has been a really good month for Kasey and me. Kasey and I got married in September 2009. I began my new job in September 2010. And this year we are putting the final touches on our very first Pairings Box! That may be why the September mixes have always been some of my best. For example, my very first mix I ever shared with our readers was in September 2009 (sorry - it is no longer available), and I think the Musical Pairings' September 2010 Mix (which is still available) has held up [...]
Slow Magic Mixtape #2 (Goldrush) The chilled out sex beats bar has just risen thanks to the master of mysterious blissed out beats Slow Magic . His latest work is a 25 minute mix created (I am guessing) in celebration of his first show at Colorado’s Gold Rush Music Festival . The mixtape includes splices from current favez M83 , Purity Ring , Sleep Over , Sun Glitters as well as my favorite Slow Magic diddy, [...]

Amidst all of the chaos surrounding Hurricane Irene’s voyage up the east coast, there’s a lot of talk about survival kits. But all of the disaster officials have forgotten one thing: really good music. Luckily, we made a mixtape to get you east coasters (well, everyone else, too) through this weekend. It’s just fun enough to distract you from the rain, just serious enough to keep you grounded (fingers crossed). And there are 13 songs. So board up your windows, gather your canned goods, and put this playlist on repeat for the next few days. After all, there’s [...]
