Happy Friday everyone. Well it’s finally here, the last post that I will write from the great city of Philadelphia. Come Sunday I’ll be heading back up to Montreal to begin another year of concerts and shenanigans, but I had one hell of a sendoff on Wednesday at the HARD summer tour. Rusko, Sinden and Crystal Castles absolutely blew the roof off of the Electric Factory, and just to ensure that my ears never fully recover, I’ll be welcomed back…

So, I’m just now waking up after a long night at the Electric Factory for 2010′s HARD Tour. Rusko blew it out of the water, putting on a killer set that sent the crowd into a dusbtep-dancing frenzy. Crystal Castles went equally as hard, performing with their infamous energy and intensity. Be on the lookout for a full review of the madness in the next day or two. Now, it’s time for songs of the day. I’m still really, really…

It’s finally time for one of the most anticipated tours of the summer. The first-ever HARD Tour kicked off in California on the 6th, and with a stop in Philadelphia on Wednesday (8/18), it’s still going strong. Headliners Crystal Castles have apparently been throwing down ridiculous, crazy intense sets thus far. The Toronto natives have been infamous for their live performances ever since their formation in December 2003. Originally a solo project by Ethan Kath, he discovered vocalist Alice Glass…

What’s good everyone, happy Friday to you all. It still seems a bit strange to me, but the summer is quickly slipping away and today marks the beginning of my last full weekend in Philadelphia. This summer has been pretty wild, but it’s not finished just yet. I’ve already begun mental preparations for the insanity of Wednesday’s HARD Philly, headlined by Crystal Castles and Rusko. It should be a great finishing touch on the summer of 2010. The HARD tour…

It’s been far too long since we’ve posted anything from our Soundcloud page, and for that I apologize. The summer always tends to get a bit crazy and as a result we can’t always post as often as we’d like to. But rest assured, this slacking on our part won’t last too long. Once we’re back in school we’ll get back into our groove and keep bringing you the best music we can find as often as possible. Until then,…

Just got a heads up from Montreal’s own Kid Aloha about some new songs he’s been working on. Predation and Clique are his two new fairly bizarre yet fantastically refreshing hip hop tracks. Predation features some hard hitting tribal beats behind wild and exotic sweeps, while Clique takes on a heavier feel more suited for the clubs. Be sure to give them both a listen, and keep an open mind while you do. Pedation- Kid Aloha [Audio clip: click ‘read…

Happy Friday everybody. It’s been another long week, but we’re finally closing in on the home stretch. The summer is winding down which means it’s time to pack the most fun possible into these few remaining weeks, so get out and enjoy yourselves while you still have the chance. We’ve been pretty busy around here, but I wanted to give everyone a heads up about a new blog recently started by a few of my good friends from Philly. The…

What up everyone? It’s time for songs and video of the day, and we’ve got some excellent tunes for you. First up, we have a new track from Freddie Gibbs, a Cali-based rapper. The song combines the talents of Bun B, Chip Tha Ripper, Chuck Inglish, and Dan Auerbach, and the product is just as good as you’d expect. Next, we have a new track from DYM, also known as Damn You Mongolians. We’ve heard some awesome remixes come off…

The long awaited day is finally here and after a three year layoff Montreal’s favorite native children, The Arcade Fire, have returned to reclaim their spot at the top of the Indie food chain. Since the release of their first album, 2004′s Funeral, The Arcade Fire have played an instrumental role in spreading indie rock to a larger audience. Over the last few years, however, the genre seems to have stagnated, lacking a clear voice or direction, and certainly lacking…

Straight From the Spring is the newest EP sampler from Paris based label Sound Pellegrino. Like the name implies, this compilation is a breath of fresh air in the electronic genre just when you thought things were beginning to get a bit stale. Sound Pellegrino is home to some of the most innovative and inventive electronic producers in the game today, including (but not limited to) Bart B More, Renaissance Man, Harvard Bass, Douster, Gucci Vump, Para One, Momma’s Boy…
