Hip-Hop, Indie, Videos | Times New Roman – Diamonds (Official Music Video)
Posted by yabishcic on February 5, 2014
Some of you might remember Times New Roman from my interview with him a couple months prior to this post, and he’s back with some visuals for his banger. “Diamonds” off his “Demo” tape has caught attention from multiple blogs and it’s well deserved. With a little soul there, and a little hip hop here, and some dashes of indie and mo-town all in one, there’s no way TNR won’t strike your ear the right way. Help the one and only Mr. Bolton celebrate his first visual premiere by watching “Diamonds” and get your groove on to some good ass tunes.
Chill | Lucia – Days (Paul Gilmore Remix)
Posted by VMan on February 5, 2014
UK producer Paul Gilmore hits us with an indie deep house remix of 19 year old singer Lucia’s “Days” that will get you in the vibe in no time. The remix makes the original production more lively, and seductive, who’s playfulness could work for the dance floor. If you’re looking to get lost in a colorful melancholic moment for a few minutes, add this one to your chill/ambient playlist. I also suggest you check out more of Paul Gilmore’s music on his SoundCloud, and get that free download! This is a must listen and a must download!

Ambient, Electro | Barcelona – Background (MSG Remix)
Posted by admin on February 2, 2014
Despite their million+ fans, I was previously unaware of Barcelona. The group has chocked their SoundCloud full of remixes, and one in particular that really made a lasting impression was MSG’s “Background” reworking. The song takes ambient elements from Barcelona’s catchy vocals and mixes them with the deep house sounds that are making their rounds across the music world. The result is pure bliss for an entire four minutes and thirty eight seconds.
Both MSG and Barcelona hail from the Northwest state of Washington, a hub for all things culture and music. The local influences allowed for this track to click on multiple levels, making it enjoyable for indie and electronic fans alike.
I encourage you all to dive in to this song and stay up to date with future releases via Barcelona’s SoundCloud page.
Chill, Indie | Prelow – For The Team
Posted by admin on January 22, 2014
After a semi-intelligent child turned me on to their music a few weeks back, I have been absolutely hooked on Prelow. The mysterious band has only one public track on their SoundCloud, but the heavily-produced indie tune “For The Team” has me begging to hear more.
Lead vocalist, Jesse Aicher, whispers sweet nothings in to your ear as the song progresses. His soft, melodic voice complementing the hazy electronic instrumental to make a sound unlike much of what I have heard coming out of the indie genre.
The duo, although seemingly new to the scene, clearly has a natural cohesion, and a knack for making intriguing music. I encourage you all to check out Prelow’s “For The Team” and stay tuned for more from the NYC-based group.
Progressive House | MS MR – Ash Tree Lane (Live City Remix)
Posted by Middy on January 8, 2014
Generally, Live City bring the heat with relentless aggressive electro stompers that attempt to blow you out of your chair, but it always nice for artists and fans to get a change of pace in a producer’s discography. Like their recent remix for London Grammar “Strong“, Live City add an easy going progressive melody that carries through the indie original. MS MR have not been over remixed, so this will be a breath of fresh air in your playlists and best of all it is FREE.

The Ivy League graduate Elephante released his latest remix of “My Friends” by The Soundmen, and he continues to demonstrate why you should all be keeping an eye on the young producer. “My Friends” is a surf friendly indie-pop record that one might compare to Passion Pit, and Elephante adds a hint of Anthem House to make this track available to the DJs and EDM lovers. Give it a listen! Oh and if you want to catch the man live in the mix, you have no plans yet for New Year’s, and live in New York City, check him out at The DL bringing in the new year’s! This is a must download!

Electronic, Indie | Boombox – Waiting Around
Posted by yabishcic on December 16, 2013
‘Waiting Around’ is a funky, electronic indie song from the live band / DJ hybrid duo Boombox. It is the first single off their upcoming album Filling In The Color, set to come out January 14th. This song incorporates a large amount of live band elements from guitar solos to horns leaving us with a jam inspired twist reminding me of The Grateful Dead, which isn’t surprising with Guitar / Lead Vocalist Zion of Boombox being the son of two members from the group (Keith and Donna Jean Godchauxt).
