XV – Vizzy’s Zone [Mixtape]

It’s been a minute since XV dropped anything since getting signed to Warner Bros (long over-due) so I can’t even describe how happy I am to see this out. XV’s long been a blog favorite for his constant output and creativity (40 Days & 40 Nights anyone?) so just get on the train, until you [...]

OnCue – Cuey Sings the Blues [mixtape]

I’m pretty excited to introduce this new mixtape by OnCue. Not only because it’s an awesome project, but also because I got to take part in the creation of some of the songs. Which is something I’m really thankful for. This project stands out to me because for every single song he had us (producers) [...]

Blackbird Blackbird – Modern Disbelief [mp3]

It was like Sunday morning when I was chatting it up with my dude Mikey from Blackbird Blackbird and he sent me this new song of his that blew me away. The one thing I really enjoy about his music is that he puts a new twist on the “chillwave” genre with every project he [...]

Spoek Mathambo – War on Words [video]

For the past few months I’ve had a minor obsession with South African renaissance man Spoek Mathambo. This means not only stalking his twitter, eagerly anticipating his Fader magazine cover, catching up on his back catalogue of side-projects and features, but also keeping his latest LP, Mishni Wam, in heavy rotation. It’s tough work, to [...]

Dag för Dag – Releases EP [free album]

Once again, I was going through some new releases on No Modest Bear and stumbled on some dopeness that I just had to share on here. Dag för Dag is a Swedish band that began getting recognition around 2007 according to their bio. As I’m currently listening to this release I’ll have to say that [...]

Star Slinger – I Am You [video]

Here’s a nice video to accompany Star Slinger’s remix of I Am You by Coolrunnings. The video was directed by John Kendall, and I think the scenes in this really amplify the strength of an already dope song. I went nuts the first time I heard the shit, and I’ll continue to go nuts every [...]

Emay – If You’re Breathing [single]

First off I want to thank Tonje and my dude Star Slinger for helping me out with the cover! This is a track that I semi-uploaded onto facebook a couple weeks ago and since the feedback was so positive I decided to release it as a single. I even performed it when I opened for [...]

Soft Powers – Bad Pop [free album]

Here we have a really fresh sounding free album by the band Soft Powers. I was on No Modest Bear a couple weeks ago and saw a post for their track Mary Never Sings Our Songs. I really enjoyed the track and eventually found their myspace to find that I liked all the tracks on [...]

Star Slinger – May I Walk With You? [mp3]

I’ve heard a couple joints from Star Slinger’s next project and I’ll have to say that it’s pretty dope. For now we’ll have to listen to this new ‘May I Walk With You?’ joint that contains a sample from Life Without Building’s ‘The Leanover’. I really like the way he has layered drums over the [...]

Blackbird Blackbird – Letting Go [mp3]

Here we have Blackbird Blackbird’s new track entitled Letting Go. This track is a great listen for people that want to drown into a great atmosphere. Also, my dude Blackbird Blackbird really went in on remixing Camera Talk by the Local Natives. He did a great job of creating a nice arrangement of trippy pop [...]
