Following the release of his dance / lo-fi pop tape, Hamtramck ’16 on Arbutus Records, Daniel & Natty G share, “We hope this video can be a helpful tool in the fight […]
Last April, when I was on my way to Coachella, I received an email from Steve Angello‘s PR people recommending I catch his set, promising a drastically changed sound and a much darker tone. Despite that promise, I held onto the formula of Steve Angello = Big Room, which does not align with anything I […]
The boys of Bicep are back with the second single titled “Glue” off their upcoming self-title debut LP, a tight breakbeat loop that layers a perfect balance of stuttered and swooning synths, followed by a heavenly vocal line. The track serves to illustrate their understanding of the history of their music as well as a […]
Danger Mouse just dropped the best worst driving song, possibly ever. It’s at least on par with Ministry’s ‘Jesus Built My Hotrod.’ Best because you will want to drive in the way you’ve always wanted to, fast as hell, shredding around corners, like it’s stolen and on fire and you’ve got a lady about to […]
I owe a huge amount of gratitude to Big Wild for including Adam Vida‘s “I’m Juiced” in one of his playlists on Spotify. Without him, I wouldn’t have this strangely infectious, potently motivational track to get me through a shitty, inundated by minutia Monday morning. If you’re familiar with Mr. Carmack, this kind of production […]

If I didn’t know any better, I’d […]
If you’re looking for a bright and crisp disco-drenched track to power you through hump day, look no further than the unlikely pairing of Wolfgang Gartner and John Oates (Yes, that Oates) on ‘Baby Be Real.’ While much of Wolfgang’s previous work has a darker, edgier feel to it, this sound is right up Oates’ […]
There’s some house where the beat matches the beating of your heart, that beats sympathetically and thus, combine to create one big beat. But there’s another kind of house, more rare, where the process is inverted, and it is your heart that chases the music. It draws you out, pulls you forward, and it can […]
I don’t have a lot to say about “House Work,” the new track by Jax Jones, because it does plenty of talking on its own. It only dropped yesterday, but with the help of fellow Londoner MNEK and Chicago house legend Mike Dunn, it already feels like a classic. The bass and vocals are sickeningly […]
