Progressive House | Pierce Fulton – Kuaga / Noon Gun
Posted by Middy on September 3, 2014
Out now, Pierce Fulton has released two more originals for your auditory pleasure. “Kuaga” we already previewed for you guys with its chants similar to those in Above & Beyond’s “Prelude”. “Kuaga” could be a legitimate hit for Pierce as it is already getting support from some top level guys and being played at the end of summer festivals by names like Dada Life. “Noon Gun” is in the same mold of a tune like “Mr Mime” with its rolling bass line and quick synth work, so do not sleep on this one.

Abstract Hip-Hop | Flying Lotus – Never Catch Me (Feat. Kendrick Lamar)
Posted by dshaq on September 3, 2014
Woah. Not expecting that. It has been a minute since Kendrick has graced our ears with new music, and today’s release is something a little different. Having FlyLo on the production is something I find very fitting for the two, who both have unique sounds that clearly work pretty well together on this track. I believe there is a new album in the works and set to be coming out pretty soon. Look for that and more releases to come and enjoy the track below.
Electronic, Exclusive, Featured | Premiere: Lincoln Jesser – Untold
Posted by Middy on August 26, 2014
You may not be totally familiar with the name Lincoln Jesser, but that is probably going to change soon and his past work is a good indication of that. He previously toured the world as the guitarist of YUNA. Having split off to form his own project a year ago, Lincoln Jesser is finally ready to unveil his final, completed work to the world in the form of an artist album “Modern Color” on September 23rd.
As the singer, songwriter and producer on the album, Lincoln Jesser gives his work an authentic feel in a sound that is by default very manufactured. With its heavy emphasis on synths and mellow, even vocals, Lincoln Jesser has given us just the right teaser for what should be a cracker of an album.
If you pre-order the album, you will get an instant download of “Untold”, which you can only stream right here, right now. Also check him out at any of the dates below that is most convenient. Pre-order the album on iTunes now.

The legendary Netherlands trio, Kraak & Smaak, drop their first ever release on Spinnin’ Deep. The gritty baseline, accompanied by the male vocals, and quality synth make this track undeniable. You better work until it’s time to stop. Kraak & Smakk. Spinnin’ Deep. The quality tunes continue.
