Read moreVIDEO: Luxi – “Next 2 U”
There’s a certain appeal to being self-sufficient in music (or any artistic work, really); While yes, this also entails much more work than hiring a professional, there is much more attachment and comfort with the final product. Luxi’s self shot and edited videos are a testament to this. Her latest, the self-produced video for “Next 2 U”, displays not only
Read moreAUDIO: Luxi – “Geometric Universe”
Electronic producer Luxi first fell onto our radar via the 2011 Miltown Beatdown. She had competed in the finals at Turner Hall, and her creativity was astounding back then. Fast forward six years, and that creativity has evolved tenfold, with the release of her new album, “Geometric Universe”. While still very much in the electronica realm, this album encompasses touches

Read moreVIDEO: HER Featuring ZéFire – “Queens”
French electonic group HER have released a new video, and coincidentally, it feels like it should almost be a direct response to the mannequin challenge videos that are taking over the internet. The track, “Queens”, features elements of electronica, hip hop, jazz, and countless other influences, creating a wonderful amalgamation of sounds in one single. It also features some quality

The Demix is quickly and quietly making a strong name for himself as of late. With a solid spot in rotation on WMSE, a WAMI nomination, and a solid amount of buzz over his latest EP, “Havoc Run”, it’s clear that the cat is coming out of the bag on this underground sensation. Equipped with a soundtrack of heavy, dark,

Welp, the turn up is real. And there’s a duck involved. No I’m not making this up. Atlanta trio WatchTheDuck are gearing up to release their “Trojan Horse” EP on November 20th, and to prepare us all for the duck-ing insanity, they’ve unleashed “Making Love To The Beat”, featuring DJ E-Feezy and none other than T.I. himself. The song is

Hot Chip’s new album will be printed in 501 colors, using a unique printing method that has allegedly never been used before. That being said, it’s no wonder that they like to do the now conventional lyric video format just a bit different, as well. The lyric video for “Burning Up”, from the forthcoming “Why Make Sense?” pays homage to

Surprise releases aren’t just for Beyonce anymore. Yesterday, DJ Shadow hit us with a new EP, “The Liquid Amber EP”, as well as the announcement of his Liquid Amber imprint. He hopes that this will be the start of a “long string of music” from himself and some signees, so we can expect much more quality music in the future.
Read moreVIDEO: Diplo – “Revolution”
EDM megastar Diplo dropped a new track and video via Revolt this week. The video contains a kind of loose narrative surrounding a gas mask… I think? Regardless, the song is pretty sick, and should be a mainstay of his usual summer festival run of DJ sets. Check out the video below, and please refrain from twerking on any walls

Filipino producer Eyedress is looking for a breakout 2014. Before appearing on several year end lists of artists to watch, he put out his “Supernatural” EP in December.

I’m not really sure how, but I stumbled across these guy a few days ago on Soundcloud. Now I’m hooked on them. There’s only three songs that I know of. I’ve done a little bit of digging (albeit not a whole lot) but I can’t find any more of their music. Regardless, it’s amazing that they’ve drawn their following, over
