track name | no church in the wild
sunglasses and advil.
ok so i know we already posted today, but i had to add this cuz it was just released this tuesday and it’s about time. this is my favorite song off the album by far and the video is incredibly shot. everything about it is epic. it simply feels legendary. the thundering beat just gets you going, which i guess fits with the imagery. it’s all kind of perplexing, but at the same time awesome.
all in all they went h.a.m. cuz that shit cray

shorty if you want my love, you know all you gotta do is hit me up and ill be on my way
sorry i’ve been out for so long. aLc and dicky have been crushing it though so it’s all good. as for the post today…oldie, but a goodie. yeah, this song has been sampled and mixed numerous times, but this is certainly one of the better ones. i honestly like it more than the original and after a couple listens, you can’t help but sing along when you hear it. if you haven’t heard it, then here’s a new one for your weekend party mix…
shout out to kirk bonner van buuren for this one ahah

been a long time since we posted some good old rock and roll and since its throwback thursday it seemed like no better time. asia’s hit “heat of the moment” is just what you expect from 80’s hair bands. this is the perfect song for your summer bbq

track name | high for this (the weeknd cover)
thirty.may.twentytwelve
woke up today with this treat on my soundcloud dashboard: ellie goulding covering everyone’s favorite the weeknd. xaphoon jones handles the beat and ellie does the rest as this pair do an amazing job on one of my favorite songs on 2011. does anyone else feel like ellie sounds like the weeknd at certain parts?

track name| passed out lovers
twentynine.may.twentytwelve
everyone knows charlie’s debut album, the notorious xx, which was pure genius. but, he’s also released the nasd out album along with a few mixtapes and tons of free 99 weekly downloads. recently, this track popped up on my soundcloud as a part of his wait what wednesdays giveaway and while it took about a minute for the song to sync up (in my opinion)…when it did…it flooooowed. this track has so much style.
definitely worth a listen, but let it roll for about a minute.
[side note: i’ve had bibio - lover’s carvings in draft for about a month now, i’ll post soon.]

twentysix.may.twentytwelve
uno hype, another fresh talent out of maryland (gotta love bmore), really came through on this last collaboration with dj black diamond. the album, fxck the hype, is available as a free download here. he’s a brilliant artist, and while all genres evolve, there’s something about this album that just feels true to what i love about hip-hop. for other special tracks of the album check out, destroy me and train of thought.

eric prydz aka pryda dropped his first release in forever this week and it is nothing short of amazing. though heavier than his older stuff, there is enough material on this release to capture all fans of electro music. “allein” is by far my favorite after only a handful of listens.

‘i saw you looking at me girl, a when i first set foot into the room. you didn’t want me to see girl, you didn’t want to lay your cards so soon.’
disco, electronic, indie-rock, hip-hop, funk…if you like any of these genres, you’ll love the dynamic between these guys. mayer, a mostly one-man show based out of l.a. often records hip-hop tracks under the name ‘haircut’, and classixx is a two-man group of best friends based out of l.a. who helped cultivate the disco, funk, electronic music scene in l.a.

track name | fifteen (ft. chela)

first i want to say congrats to all those that graduated this weekend. very excited and pumped for all of you. because of that i know its been a long weekend for everyone and that calls for a super chill song. goldroom delivers the goods with his latest single “fifteen”. chela supplies the vocals on this jam that you can play while cooling out at the pool or just about at any point during the summer.
