As of now, I hope all of you are aware of the standout DJ/producer from the Melt LA collective, Djemba Djemba. He has been on a massive rise in the past year, with releases from his own Rabbit Records, forthcoming Team Supreme label, and most notably Diplo's Mad Decent label. Djemba Djemba has collaborated with some of today's biggest hip-hop and trap stars, receiving much praise on his recent release with M|O|D standout Arnold on their track "Lurk", a collaboration with trap maskdermind UZ. Today, Djemba...
Having known about South Florida emcee Will Brennan for some time, I was pretty intrigued when I first heard the news of him signing to Dim Mak Records. Brennan's claim to fame is pretty remarkable, considering house legend Steve Aoki reached out to the rapper himself with an offer for a record deal on behalf of his label.

I hope everybody has fully recovered from their St. Paddy's Day festivities and is already looking forward to the weekend. Per usual, Wobble Wednesday is back with another week to soothe your weary head. I search for tunes each week by perusing through my SoundCloud stream, going through page...
I just got finished listening to @@’s “Harlem Shake” remix, and I’ve gotta hand it to that kid—he knows how to take what everybody’s thinking and make a hilarious mockery of it. It's always great to see the good-hearted trolls come through the woodwork (See: Dillon Francis). It's jokes...
