Elyse is constantly drawing me back to her music with her characteristic chilled moods and wonderful singing. She is quite minimal in the composition of a lot of her work, which I am a big fan of.

Boy, was I excited to learn that Ta-ku would be dropping volume two of his highly praised 50 Days For Dilla, which is his enormous tribute to the legendary producer J.

Most noted for his crazy charisma and persona during live performances and his insane bass playing, Flea is a huge music fan...
A lot of hype has been circulating the airs, as many of us are anticipating great things from The xx in the near future with their impending album drop. In the mean time, they recently gave us the single "Angels" to tide their teeming legion of fans over. Experimental electronic producer Aether,...
This Californian band hasn't given us much to chew on for the past four years, but Slightly Stoopid has now sprung a new single off of their upcoming album Top of the World which will be out next month. The single "Top of the World", is far from disappointing. Still delivering with their energetic...
There is something about the piano that exudes classiness and sophistication in certain styles. Beat producer Joey Pecoraro has quite the ear and style. His works range from many different musical and cultural influences. One of his latest works, "Lost Jem" is an astounding piece that brings back...
