Posted by VMan on May 15, 2021
San Francisco based rising rapper Toast comes on the scene confidently with his empowered attitude, bold lyricism, and immaculately bright, catchy style on his latest album drop, ‘Toast TV’. Toast is a 21-year-old rapper who grew up in Northern Virginia and is part of a music collective, Double Dollars (aka $$). His unique choice of beats and flows is what sets him apart from many other emcee’s of today, drawing heavy inspiration from the likes of MF Doom, Earl Sweatshirt, Mac Miller, Felly and others. If you’re on the look out for a new artist on the rise, look no further, Toast is your guy. Check out a quote from him below on the influences of the project and stream his new LP ‘Toast TV’ above now!
“This album is about the role of TV and how it has influenced our youth, society, and world as a whole. The purpose of this project is to provoke the listener into realizing how important life is and what their place in this world is. I’ve been working since August 2020 and it only has one feature by the artist KIL.” – Toast
Chill, House | Truth x Lies Forms Heart-Warming Remix Of “My Hands” by AYER
Posted by VMan on November 6, 2016
From the vocals, to the deep house drop, to all the special effects that seemingly hit at just the right time: Truth x Lies have a ton right with this remix. From the first few seconds, a moment that includes a smooth fade and chimes rolling, “My Hands (Truth x Lies Remix)” takes off to be a tune you’ll quickly click “like” on.
Truth x Lies have around 5K followers on SoundCloud, they certainly made the right move when it came to the label they released “My Hands (Truth x Lies Remix)” on. Into The Wild Records boast 100K plays on nearly every release they have done, a feat that’s harder to achieve as SoundCloud makes the repost/exposure feature receive less and less reach. Into The Wild and Truth x Lies were a matach made in heaven here.

While there’s no denying that the main reason most, if not all, of us go to music festivals for is the music. However, there’s definitely something refreshing about attending a festival that not only delivers on all counts musically, but also has a well-curated slate of ancillary activities to explore and try. Coming into its third year, Mysteryland USA has done just that, delivering a stellar lineup featuring Bassnectar, Skrillex, ODESZA, and more, alongside an impressive slate of art and cultural offerings. This year, Mysteryland USA will feature a Healing Garden for yoga, meditation, and more, a 50′ Incendia Fire Dome, a late night comedy tent, post-festival movies, and a strong food lineup of New York’s finest, amongst others, to make sure festival-goers are constantly engaged in trying something new and doing something fun. In addition to the arts & culture lineup, Mysteryland USA is partnering with Splice for one lucky producer to open up the Boat Stage on Saturday by entering in their Gramatik “Anima Mundi” remix competition. You can find more information on the competition here.

House | Justin Jay Rocks Out With His Friends on “What Do You Want”
Posted by Tay on April 12, 2016
Woah. Now this isn’t something that I expected from Justin Jay, even though he promised us his debut Fantastic Voyage album was going to feature all sorts of genres across the spectrum when he officially announced the release, but there’s no doubt that I’m a huge fan. “What Do You Want” is the least dance-y record that Mr. Jay has put out, and by dance-y, we’re talking about the underground genres that Justin has dominated for so long. “What Do You Want” showcases a traditional indie rock backbone with Josh Taylor’s gravely vocals perfectly balanced by a smooth melody. Take a peep at it above.
Events | Don’t Miss A Night At Paradise Garage – A Celebration of the Early Days of House/Disco On 12/19
Posted by Juicebox on December 8, 2015
Paradise Garage served as a beacon of the underground house music scene during the 70’s and 80’s. The doors to the iconic nightclub officially closed in 1987, almost 30 years ago, but its legacy lives on and remains relevant, even to this day. On December 19, Los Angeles will get a taste of the legendary club at their revival event, A Night At The Paradise Garage. The party will feature headlining sets from two of Paradise Garage’s finest, Joey Llanos and David DePino, who will be spinning an array of classic house and disco jams, while Kenny Summit and special guests will be on support duty to round it out. In addition to bringing the legendary energy of the club to a new city, the event also serves as a fundraiser for GMHC, an organization which fights the AIDS epidemic and uplift the lives of those affected. All of this combined leads up to Paradise Garage: Inspirations, a double vinyl release from Good For You Records featuring tracks some of the most legendary house/disco producers like Frankie Knuckles and more.
If you’re a house and/or disco fan, this event is simply a must. Buy tickets to A Night At Paradise Garage HERE. If you need further convincing, enjoy the mix and video below!
