    Flying Lotus – Quakes

    New Flying Lotus tracks are always welcome and this one is no exception (spotted at Urb). Preceding his upcoming Warp release Cosmogramma scheduled for May, “Quakes” brings you some classic Flying Lotus flavor. This particular track will not be on the album, but can be found on the Warp compilation 2010. You can take a…

  • Sonnymoon – Houstatlantavegas (Drake cover)

    Sonnymoon – Houstatlantavegas (Drake cover)

    Sonnymoon are a quirky duo – part indie-kid, part electro-hop. They released a free album not so long ago, Golden Age which is a mixed bag (according to me) – it’s definitely interesting and different, I just can’t figure out if I like it or not. But, I will say that their cover of Drake’s…

  • Little Dragon – 1-O.A.K. Remix of Blinking Pigs

    Little Dragon – 1-O.A.K. Remix of Blinking Pigs

    Hot damn. This track is like, whoa. Seriously though, 1-O.A.K. did a ridiculous job of turning Little Dragon’s “Blinking Pigs” into a beautiful, hip-hop n’ jazz inflected head-nodder. 1-O.A.K, is Oakland’s Brandon McFarland – a vocalist, musician and producer who is part of the Bay Area Collective the Honor Roll. He entered this remix, titled…

  • The Roots – How I Got Over – Video

    So this video is hella (in internet time) old, ie. more than a week, I know this, but I’ma post it anyway ‘cos I’m clearly not hung up on being the first on everything. The Root’s next album How I Got Over was supposed to come out late last year but has been pushed back…

  • Peter Hadar – Full Time Lover

    Peter Hadar – Full Time Lover

    Here’s the new single from the always-creative cool weirdo Peter Hadar. “Full Time Lover” is taken from a new forthcoming album Take Off Victoria. Peter has steadily been building his profile and following over the past several years so hopefully major successes are on their way to him! This track is super-funky with killer production…

  • The Shelltoes – I Was Told There Would Be Refreshments

    The Shelltoes – I Was Told There Would Be Refreshments

    No tea and biscuits?! Definitely a bummer. But don’t be fooled by the flippant title of this collection. The emotional output of this EP runs far deeper than such superficial disappoints. In fact The Shelltoes might be doing themselves a disservice by saying that their music blends jazz, hip-hop (this part is true) and “that…
