After extensively touring in support of their 2011 debut album It's A Corporate World, Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. have been busy in the studio. With a new album due out later this year, the Detroit duo wanted to remind everyone of their quirky and infectious style with a four-track EP entitled Patterns. Releasing the first sample of the EP last month, "If You Didn't See Me (Then You Weren't On The Dancefloor)", they have scaled the strong synth-pop/dance influence down in "Hiding". Driven by a buoyant drum beat,...
Bringing a bounce to your step, Halifax producer AA Wallace creates a sense of assurance through inspiration and confidence on his new chillwave track, "Temporal Suspension". Escalating off of a animated melody, once the rhythm kicks in, with offbeat bass and claps, the hook maneuvers leaps and bounds for a airy and buoyant composition.

Labelling Coma's distinct sound as "cosmic techno pop," this Germany-based electronic duo consisting of Marius Bubat and Georg Conrad has really begun to surface in the past few months. Hailing off their debut album titled In Technicolour, the two play around with the sonic vibrancy that mellowed...
Last night, Yung Skeeter, B.o.B, Matt & Kim, and Santigold all descended on Boring, Oregon to bring a little life into the self-deprecatingly titled town. Thanks to vitaminwater and Fuse TV, we got to watch the livestream of the event, which brought together four artists from four separate...
Covering a tremendous amount of sonic ground under the stage name Yalls, Dan Casey has deviated away from his past indie rock projects, and has gravitated toward upbeat synth-pop. Californian singer-songwriter and self-proclaimed pop experimentalist, Yalls experiments with electronic songwriting,...
