Chicago's Wavefront Music Festival (July 5, 6, & 7) might not have as much hype as some of it’s bigger festival siblings, but it’s hands down one of our favourites of the year. The festival is held on Chicago’s famed Montrose Beach, boasts more than 100 artists performing on 4 stages, and caps each day off with firework displays over Chicago's incomparable lakefront. What really makes this festival special, beyond the epic location, is one of the best pound for pound lineups in the world -- this year Diplo,...
Here's a paradox for you: How do you buy into the slacker musician craze that's been popular for 40-plus years now while being a 24/7 hustler behind closed doors in a time when it's becoming harder to make a living as a musician (or rapper)? You do what Chicago Joey Purp's done and give the people equal shots of "I Do Care" and "I Don't Care." Leave it up the public to make it personas, Purp is all about hip-hop. Part of the SaveMoney crew, Joey does things according to his own sense of dope. A 1 minute-and-a-half...
Kanye West's latest promotional stunt further solidifies himself as one of the most creative artists of our time. Today the Chicago native and Grammy award winning artist-producer projected (very literally) his latest song, "New Slaves", across the world in 66 cities, casting video footage of...

Johnny Rain is a name that not a lot of you will be familiar with at the moment, but it's one you'll be hearing a lot of in the coming months. Coming out of California, Johnny is an R&B artist that adds a whole host of different influences across the musical spectrum, into his tracks. The...
Alexander Spit is busy prepping for his next project. The California rapper/producer just released the opening track, "Valet Park, CA" off his upcoming instrumental LP Mansions 2. Now Spit surfaces with his second release, "PCH," which sounds like a progression from "Valet Park, CA." Just 1:37...
Hamburg-based Florian Harres & Michael Bräuninger, known to many as the drum and bass duo, Phace & Misanthrop, united in 2011 as the eclectic electronic duo Neosignal. In just a couple years they’ve established a hard-hitting, yet peacefully hypnotic sound that has more artistic German...
Pascäal, remembered for his track titled "Dragonlillies" as well as the quiet release of his debut EP in November 2012, has now arrived at his most recent EP: Fragile. Set to be available worldwide on July 4 (digitally and on 12" thanks to Vresh Records), "Rain Jacket" tides us over in the...
Here’s something a little different for the Earmilk community. Instead of going one on one with an artist, I chose to go one on one with the people on the other side of the court. I had a chance to interview the faces behind the global brand TuneCore and find out more about their business. These...
I always get excited when Chuck Inglish drops a new track. "Tangerine", a song that combines the former Cool Kids rapper's heavy hitting rhymes with the group's hypnotic, signature bass sound, doesn't disappoint. Inglish brings Aston Matthews (who kinda sounds like Snoop Dogg) and Kashflow, two...
