Drum & Bass, FYI | Noisia & Foreign Beggars Join To Create, I Am Legion
Posted by Mach on June 15, 2013
One of Drum & Bass’s legendary groups, Noisia, and Grime trio, Foreign Beggars, announced their new epic collaboration project, I Am Legion. It is no surprise that the two groups decided to work together like this. They have done many great tracks together in the past including “Shellshock” and a favorite of mine, “Contact”. Just the other day I Am Legion unleashed a preview on BBC Radio 1 of their filthy new track, “Make Those Moves”. The dominant bass behemoth pounds into your ears taking no prisoners. I Am Legion may end up being one the best things to happen to Drum & Bass, Neuro-funk, and Dubstep in 2013. Keep an eye out for more killer I Am Legion tracks.
Hip-Hop | Adult Swim Singles Program 2013: Run The Jewels (EL-P & Killer Mike) – 36″ Chain
Posted by Mach on June 10, 2013
Adult Swim has just kicked off their Summer Single Program for 2013. For those of you that don’t know about the program, Adult Swim throughout the year collects unreleased tracks from many artists, building a compilation that they release track by track. Today is day one of the series release, starting with a cool collaboration between El-P and Killer Mike, calling themselves Run The Jewels. The track is a future Hip-Hop style instrumental with El-P and Killer Mike gripping a tight flow over the abstraction in the beat. This is just the beginning of an incredible series, with upcoming tracks from Madlib & Freddie Gibbs, Mac DeMarco, Lil B, and even a collaboration between legendary MF DOOM & Captain Murphy (aka. Flying Lotus). No doubt this will end up being one of the most talked about compilations of the Summer. Adult Swim is not allowing a player but if you click the link below you can listen to the single on their website.

Albums, Electro, Hip-Hop, Pop | 60 Sounds of Summer (Playlist)
Posted by admin on June 10, 2013
For most of you out there, summer break is already in full effect. Some of you, perhaps, have already hit the “what am I doing with myself” phase, and some of you are still basking in the “this is going to be the best summer, yet” mindset. Whatever the case may be, 60 Sounds of Summer is here for you.
I know I had you hooked at the words “summer” and “playlist”, but as icing on the cake, blogstar and milk enthusiast, Elliot Baumohl has come aboard in collaboration with myself to create this pièce de résistance. Elliot and I will now be known as “We Like Peach Rings“, a collective whose sole goal is to bring you the absolute best playlists on the web. 60 Sounds is our debut, so let us know what you think and perhaps we’ll toss some more together!
Ok, well, I could bore you with a ton of unoriginal buzzwords about summertime music, or you could just listen to this lovely playlist!
Electro-House | Dyro – Leprechauns & Unicorns
Posted by Middy on April 30, 2013
Dyro has been creating quite the buzz recently, with his single with Hardwell “Never Say Goodbye” getting its world premier at Ultra, his collaboration with Bassjackers, “Grid” remaining a staple of sets for months and having released a slew of remixes for the likes of Tiesto, Gabriel & Dresden & more.
“Leprechauns & Unicorns” gives us a new spin on the gritty, Dyro sound that we have to come to love and behold with brooding, pulsing saws, a thumping bass line and pitched synths that round out the formula for Dyro’s next massive track. The two fairytale animals seem too nice for such a grimy, intense track, maybe Dyro has been watching the “Leprechaun” movies of late on his long flights around the world. Leprechaun in the Hood with Ice-T and Leprechaun in Space are both quality films, 5 stars, if anyone was wondering.

Progressive House | Chuckie vs. Dzeko & Torres – Down To This
Posted by Middy on April 25, 2013
Dzeko & Torres have been busy this year, with remixes for Steve Aoki and Kryder as well a slew of originals, including “Hurricane“, set for release this Monday. The Dirty Dutch leader has been quieter on the release front except for a collab out of left field with Slash. This collaboration with Canadian duo Dzeko & Torres, brings both of their sounds into the 2013 summer festival season starting with a big room build and a powerful minimal onslaught that will make this popular in many DJ sets.
Hip-Hop | Joey Bada$$ – Day In The Life (Prod. Harry Fraud)
Posted by Mach on April 4, 2013
This was a long overdue collaboration between mic killer Joey Bada$$ and the incredible, Harry Fraud. Joey Bada$$ will be featured in XXL Magazine’s 2013 Freshman Class, along side of Schoolboy Q, Trinidad Jame$, Ab-Soul, Logic, Action Bronson, Kirko Bangz, Travi$ Scott, Dizzy Wright, Angel Haze, and lastly Chief Keef, the “11th Freshman”. I think he is more than deserving of making the list. Just the other day someone I introduced his music to told me his rap style reminded her of MF DOOM. Remembering how right she was, I listened closely to this track and I swear I can hear a bit of MF DOOM in Joey Bada$$. “Day In The Life” is a great track, a collaboration that should happen more often.
Bass, RnB, Trap | Shlohmo ft. Jeremih – Bo Peep (Do U Right)
Posted by W8 on March 20, 2013
This dark melancholy of love is Shlohmo and Jeremih’s first official collaboration. Both lead, and or rather invented a new sub-genre that can only be described as a lo-fi branch of Rnb. The mergence of the two talents combining forces certainly marks some next level sh#t. A video after the jump sheds light on their new collaborative vision together.
