Alternative | Burial & Four Tet – Nova
Posted by W8 on March 6, 2012
I’m all ears when it comes to music. Sonically, there is nothing I wouldn’t consider worth my ears. I developed a passion for experimental music long ago, and watched it grow into the sensation it is today. When I caught the amount of attention this track was getting I had to take the opportunity to prove just that. Soundcloud wise, this record in one days time has more plays than Avicii’s hit Levels had managed to get in 4 months. If that doesn’t prove the rocketing of experimental music, what could.
Alternative, post-dubstep, experimental, however many labels you wish to name. There will always be artists that act as stubborn children in that their driven to produce what not only blurs the lines of genre but makes it absurd for you to even try and categorize in one. From the likes of Mount Kimbie, Jamie XX, Lapalux, Arthur Russell, Shlohmo and of course Burial and Four Tet, these are just a few of the many talents still left waiting for the masses to catch up with their past.
My public service announcement is as follows: Thanks goes out to the late great Steve Jobs for the creation of the iPod, making music no longer sonically racist in a time when you felt you had to fit into a particular genre like a pair of clothes and not dare dabble in any others. And thanks to the makers of Soundcloud for broadening our view of music into the sonic playground it is today. Records like Nova say more than words ever will, take a listen.

Albums, Alternative | Radical Something – No Sweat EP [Review]
Posted by LoffyG on February 26, 2012
While the crisp winter breeze may still be in the air for some of us unfortunate northerners, California’s warm weather is back in our speakers. Radical Something just released their second project, a six track EP entitled No Sweat. We’ve shown tons of love for these guys since the start and are proud to be involved in this project.
As you probably know by now, their music and sound is much different than anything that’s out right now and that’s what makes them unique. Big Red smashes the MPC and production (and even throws down a mystery verse on “Say Yes” at about the 1:30 mark), Loggy dishes out the hip-hop side of things while Josh Cocktails boasts his powerful voice, adding flavor to every track. What is most impressive to me about this group is their ability to work cohesively and offer versatility while maintaining their sound. Hearing their music always brightens the mood. This has a much different vibe than We Are Nothing their debut album which dropped towards the end of last summer and shows the progression from the trio. The No Sweat EP is out now on iTunes for only $2.99 get it here!
Radical Something let us release “Say Yes” as an exclusive for the fans. You can also listen to a preview of each track on the album below. Let the beat breathe and be easy, RS has done it again.

Alternative, Dubstep | The Weeknd – Same Old Song (Dolor Remix)
Posted by W8 on February 24, 2012
Dolor has been a reoccurring thought of mine since his remix of The Weeknd’s track – The Morning way back at the start of last year. Sonically, his production is already in unison with The Weeknd in terms of their both common distate for daylight hours motivating their creative process, it only makes sense to see the two compliment eachother. Dolor’s take on Same Old Song if I could play with your imagination, feels like lurking through the great pyramid alone, as his eerie wind chimes reverberate off the cold and quiet hollow spaces of darkness. Also, as an added bonus, Dolor threw in the instrumental version as well.
