In our campaign to discover and shine a spotlight on the best and new producers in the game, we've received some great submissions. Every Friday we'll be doing a roundup of the week to feature the top artists both on Earmilk and Wavo. At the end of every month we'll be releasing the best submissions on a partnering label, where the featured artists will see their tracks hit Beatport and iTunes. This time around we're partnering with Ottawa's Capital Boom Records, and throughout the summer we'll be announcing a number...
Not long ago we covered Patterns in Plastic's Radiohead re-work, and here they are again, better than ever. Wesley Akinfolarin and Joe William Todd are the minds behind the collaboration, both hailing from Newcastle upon Tyne, UK. To date, they have released an EP back in March 2011, a collection of re-works in March 2012, and BDAF Remixes in July 2012, all of which are worthy of your ears.

Every day At Earmilk we receive a lot of submissions, and we feel like we have a responsibility to listen to every track we get -- but it definitely gets tough. We're all volunteers here, and with sometimes a hundred submissions a day it's inevitable that good tracks slip through the...
In the large scope of music, we are continually in search of the next big thing, and with such a large portion of popular culture honing in on the current dance movement, which can be independently created, there is constantly an excess of new material to be explored. While there are only a small...
