Here's a newcomer to EARMILK, by the name SoJorn, that after 1 listen left me craving more. I haven't heard much about this Tennessee native, but his "Drum Machine" remix of Five Knives has been on repeat since I heard it. It's difficult for me to categorize this remix into one main genre as it seems to have focal elements of various genres, moombahton and glitch-hop come to mind. Yet it is this fusion of sounds from the different genres, the nostalgia I get when I hear the vocals (reminds me a bit of Macarena...you...
OnCue has released yet another freebie to the world, in the shape of "New Religion." Produced by Party Supplies, who is fresh off their release with teammates Action Bronson and Reebok in Blue Chips, and Just Blaze who is notorious for his production with many of Jay-Z and Eminem. Without even hearing this track, it's off to a damn good start, and like always Cuey creates more awesome music. Unlike a ton of hip-hop artists and rappers, OnCue is in a category of his own that really only fits in with hip-hop, with clever...
Informational nuggets about Opal Block are few and far between, but what we do know is that he comes from Manchester, Britain and is a jack of all musical trades, having taken the roles of both singer and producer. In the track he's generously given Earmilk to offer for free download, "Windyke",...
If you're not up on your social media, I think Lunice (LuckyMe, Mad Decent) just gave you a reason to start keeping track. Coming out of Montreal, Lunice Fermin Pierre II released a new track via his Twitter today, and it's no throwaway -- "The Good Kids" is a smooth, nocturnal piece of wonky...
You may or may not know Pixelord by name, but there's a decent chance you've encountered his music -- he's seen features in mixes by the likes of SBTRKT, LV, and many others, and the popularity of his music for those in the know is totally unsurprising. Coming out of Moscow, Alexey Devyanin's...
The inaugural release on the new PRISM imprint comes from UK-based abstract hip-hop beatsmith Jon Phonics, whose Grid Games is a smooth, funky six-track EP with influences from electronica, 2-step, and, in his own words, "tropical um bongo bass music". The EP is comprised entirely of...
Shlohmo recently put his signature, 8-bit touch over rising folk/soul songstress Lianne La Havas' "Forget". When I first listened to this track, I imagined Mario getting dumped by Princess Peach. The complexity of this hazy and atmospheric mix could easily make one forget the tranquil, "let him...
MartyParty, aka Marty Folb, the man who helped bring us the nasty track "Beba" (via PANTyRAiD - his duo with Ooah from The Glitch Mob) has, in typical style, dropped the bass once again. His debut work of 2012 "Just Because of You" (which he is exclusively premiering through EARMILK) will devour...
