Hip-Hop, Videos | Terence Ryan — Whiskey Citizen [Music Video]
Posted by jeffwbaird on November 19, 2013
It’s been almost two years since I first heard “Alan’s Right”, and was instantly made aware of the tremendous talent this man possesses. Sure, it’s extremely rare to find an artist (especially at his age) who has learned to expertly produce, mix, rap, sing, and write—but more so, it’s the fact that he has also managed to create a completely distinctive and unrepeatable sound. A sound that certainly was influenced by everything from indie singer-songwriters to underground hip-hop, yet it mimics nothing. With every new release I’m able to see the progress in his production, writing, and his ear—with each release more melodic, more honest, and deeper than the last. He’s been extremely hard at work this year creating what will be “The Revival” album, and today we receive the first release. It’s catchy, yet it resonates, and bares an amount of heart and maturity that we rarely see today. To classify him into any genre would be doing him a disservice, so just check out the song, and appreciate it for the engrossing music that it is.
Electro-House | Strange Talk – Climbing Walls (Live City Remix)
Posted by Middy on November 6, 2013
Live City are back with another splendid free remix. The duo deliver once again with this remix of cheery synths, indie elements of the original and a grinding, jarring drop to provide the thumping Live City sound. Many indie bands have benefited from dance music remixes that bring their name to a whole new swath of potential fans on a global scale. With a remix competition running for “Climbing Walls” currently running, expect this start happening right now. Live City have an EP coming up next month on The Disco Fries label “Liftoff Recordings”, so be on the lookout for that.

Progressive House | Magnus & Timon feat. MAGE – By Myself
Posted by Mel on October 23, 2013
After a 10 month hiatus, Magnus & Timon returned a few weeks ago with a free track entitled “Svart” and they have just released another one. Like “Svart”, “By Myself” lends itself more to live events with the clubbier drop, but because of the superb vocals of MAGE and the indie popish break, it also makes for good listening in any situation. This is their first track that is not free so if you are a fan think about maybe supporting them.

Chill, Mix | Easy Like Sunday Morning
Posted by mimada on October 13, 2013
Happy Sunday Funday, y’all. I’ve been increasingly overwhelmed lately with the amount of good music accumulating out there in the universe so I’ve found bundling them up in little care packages to be the best solution to curing all the quiet moments in your day to day routine. Today’s playlist is a low-key musical journey to keep you feeling light and carefree throughout the entirety of your day.
A little indie, a little house, some trill-electro hip-hop reworks and one Drake and one Mr. Carmack track, because what would a playlist be these days without that.
So open up your windows and let the fresh air and sun shine on in. Make yourself a hearty breakfast, stay in bed, read an old book, take a walk, say something nice to the people you care about, turn on some football, spend an extra 15 minutes playing with your dog, or don’t do anything at all. Except play this mix, on repeat.
I wanna be high, so high, I wanna be free to know
The things I do are right
I wanna be free
Just me, babe!
That’s why I’m easy
I’m easy like sunday morning…
House, Indie | Gentlemen Hall – Sail Into The Sun (Lenno Remix)
Posted by Middy on October 9, 2013
Sleek, summer and soothing. These three words can sum up the indie-dance remix that Lenno just put on Gentleman Hall’s single “Sail Into The Sun. It has all of Lenno’s funky, disco stylistic abilities, with the indie sound of the original, that makes not only this a great remix, but the pairing of Lenno’s sound with indie rock perfect. This is a no-strings attached download, so you have no excuse not to get it.
