“Don’t Say No” opens with some classic R&B thumping like D’Angelo is about to lick his lips and start whisper-singing, but just then, Shlohmo turns up the cloudy lo-fi texturing and unleashes his new age, unconventional R&B genius.

Wise Blood has just launched their Wings EP about half an hour ago via Soundcloud and boy does it sound interesting. I've really only had about 5 minutes with it, I think it's grand and some highlights already include "I'm losing my mind" and "Darlin' You're Sweet". Definitely nothing offensive to...
LA's been doing big things lately and that is nothing but good things for all you milk fans. Today I'd like to proudly present the newest member to the Dip: Ryan Dollivers, The Neighborhood The Neighborhood's unique form of Synthy infused R&B is the breath of fresh air in an otherwise darker...
