Winelove

Roots drummer and all around awesome individual ?uestlove is looking to collaborate with our favorite golden-tubed trainwreck Amy Winehouse, as well as R&B singer and producer Raphael Saadiq. The yet-unnamed group is still in the planning stages, as Winehouse is having trouble obtaining a US visa since getting caught with a few grams of pot in Norway a few years back. Regardless, ?uestlove sees the group as a sure-fire operation, explaining that he and Winehouse have been skyping the shit out…

Flying Lotus

Goood evening everyone, hope this is finding you well. We’ve got some new music for you, all of which is pretty damn awesome. First up is a two-for-one with Beck and Bat For Lashes. It was released on the new Twilight soundtrack (permission to be dubious), but its sound is far from typical soundtrack fare. Let’s Get Lost – Beck & Bat For Lashes Next is the latest single from Interpol’s upcoming self-titled LP. It’s standard Interpol, which isn’t necessarily…

If you’ll recall, a few weeks ago we told you about Love Thy Brother, the Montreal DJ duo making a splash all over the internet. Well we’re happy to tell you now that Liam and Conor are back with their new EP ‘Chulain.’ This one features some downright mean synth lines, quite the departure from their last electro-pop single ‘Feel This Cat.’  Along with the original track are two filthy remixes by Kid Aloha and the Killabits. Chulain is LTB’s…

Well, I’ve finally made it home to the greatest city on earth to wait out the rest of my summer days until I can legally drink again. I would probably be more upset had there not been an awesome lineup of shows waiting for me when I got home. To kick things off, the tenth anniversary Siren Music Festival is going down this Saturday on Coney Island. Aside from the awesome lineup (which includes the likes of Matt and Kim,…

Damn You Mongolians!

Damn You Mongolians

No offense, of course, is meant to any Mongolian readers that may be out there. The title of the post is simply a reference to one of our favorite up-and-coming dubsteppers, Damn You Mongolians. DYM has had several remixes that have caught my ear lately, so I decided to do a little digging and see where the sound was coming from. Turns out DYM is Steve Southern, an electro artist/producer based out of northeast England. He’s only been putting out…

I recently got to talking with my buddy Trev about some of his favorite new releases, and one of the first things he brought up was the new LP from Baths. Here’s his review. On Cerulean, his first full length LP, L.A. based producer Will Wisenfeld crafts an album evoking a glitched-out day dream on a hazy summer afternoon. The album carries you along on a gentle current (though we do hit some rapids on the way) through a fragile…

MSTRKRFT

In anticipation of the new A-Team movie, MSTRKRFT have been recruited to remix the original theme song. Hopefully this is a sign of more new material to come from the duo, I saw them live this past New Year’s and they absolutely killed it. Have a listen to the new remix below. Face Mix – MSTRKFT by nathantayloronline Bonus: two more of our favorite MSTRKRFT tracks… Heartbreaker ft. John Legend – MSTRKRFT Zero (MSTRKRFT Remix) – Yeah Yeah Yeahs

A Rainy Day

It’s a terribly rainy day down here in Philly, and there’s really no better reason to sit inside and surf the web for new music. Here’s an extra-large helping of remixes to assist you in doing just that. Enjoy! Swoon (Lindstrom and Prins Thomas Remix) – Chemical Brothers Eyes Wide (Fool’s Gold Remix feat. Aristotle Pop A Bottle) – Local Natives Daniel (Mt Eden Dubstep) – Bat for Lashes I’m Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How to Dance With You…

Mixtape Fridays

Happy Friday everyone. Since I’ve been home from school, I’ve resumed life as a working man, which means that Fridays are just as important to me during the summer months as they were during the school year. (The fact that Friday is also pay day doesn’t hurt either). So if you’re working all day like me, or even if you’re just relaxing and soaking up some rays by the pool all day every day, I hope this weekend is killer…

Whats up everyone? First let me offer congrats to fans of the Netherlands and Spain, the final two countries standing in this ridiculous World Cup. These two teams will duke it out on Sunday for the championship, should be a game for the ages. In the meantime, we’re in the midst of a brutal heatwave right now that’s been making any outdoor activity seem like torture. On the bright side, a heat wave in Philly doesn’t hold a candle (excuse…
