Indie | Bijan – Letters
Posted by BIGLIFE on November 3, 2011
I’m not serving the average cup of FNT banger or hip hop tea with this one. Much to the contrary, this is caught somewhere in between an indie hop and Grieves track. I can definitely dig the change of pace, hopefully you can too…

Indie | W8’s Indie Pack #1
Posted by W8 on November 3, 2011
Indie is the essence of a daydream, floating in the bluest water ever seen on a white sand powdered beach, staring up at stars shining in darkness, thinking there’s no place I’d rather be than in my imagination dreaming about this. My passion for an indie record sedates and humbles me, likely for you a genre yet to be discovered in all its inherent beauty. I’ve compiled over 1200 indie tracks this year alone and it only made sense to compress the gems out of my collection and share 15, some aren’t that new but have sympathy, for most they are. If you like the post, let it be known and they’ll continue.

Indie | Viceroy – No Ending (Original Mix)
Posted by BIGLIFE on September 15, 2011
Our friend Viceroy is back with yet another jam. This time around he created a song that features a repetitive sample on an addictive funky fresh disco beat. This might just be the best cure you’ll find all day for those awful summer blues…

Indie | City And Colour – Fragile Bird (Richard Powda Remix)
Posted by GMONEY on August 2, 2011
Richard Powda managed to skillfully take City And Colour’s indie hit “Fragile Birds,” and make it into groovy baby making music. Featuring the “Richard Powda Brass Band,” this remix gives the original a serious facelift.

Hip-Hop, Indie | Radical Something – Long Hair Don’t Care
Posted by BIGLIFE on July 14, 2011
Here’s yet another summer jam for everyone to throw on deck during those sunny days. The inspiration behind the lyrics came from a series of strange events that I’ll let Loggy (a member of the group) describe:
“Long Hair Don’t Care” was created mid way through Radical Something’s studio lockdown in Florida. The jam’s instrumental was laid down during the day but came full circle that night when we grabbed some beer and an old stereo out of the studio, hopped a fence at a nearby apartment complex, and sat by a moonlit pool, listening to the track and looking for some lyrical inspiration. We found it easily–a few minutes later, 2 cop cars came screeching around the corner with their sirens blaring and searchlights pointed right at us. Within seconds we were face down on the pavement getting detained for open containers and tresspassing. We were let off with some petty infractions. Pissed off and oddly inspired, we bounced right back to the studio where we immediately wrote and cut the entire track. “
