Chill, Dance | INDICA Prepares to Release His New EP ‘RETROMODERN’

Posted by on February 22, 2019

Hailing from Los Angeles, recording/visual artist INDICA has set the wheels in motion leading up to the release of his new EP, “RETROMODERN‘, on March 29th.  Having already released the lead single, “INTOXICATED“, last month, the swagged out Californian has just dropped his latest offering, “TIME MACHINE“.

While much of his material to date has been a bit more Hip Hop leaning, the new project, produced by Andrew Luce, brings a smooth Electronic vibe that looks to blur the lines between past textures and future flows.  On, “TIME MACHINE“, rich layers of synths, grooving basslines and steady drums keep the tune driving while INDICA sways on top with his ice cold auto-tune flow.

Having racked up millions of streams to date, there is no doubt that INDICA is on to something.  Beyond the music, INDICA is also well known for his stand out visuals and eye catching aesthetic.  An artist in the truest sense of the word, INDICA is making sure to leave his mark for a long time to come.

Videos | Kinetics & One Love — Time Machine (Feat. Neon Hitch) [Music Video]

Posted by on May 2, 2014

It’s been a year-and-a-half since we last heard from Kinetics & One Love, who have been steadily building a reputation as one of the most talented and promising duos in the genre on any scale. Always conceptual in their artistry, 2012’s terrific album You Are Not Alone solidified elements of their philosophical identity and developed an iconic sense of self, one that many artists are unable to conjure throughout the span of a career. Now, after a brief hiatus writing and producing for other artists (Neon Hitch, Melanie Martinez), they’ve returned with an even deeper and more fully-developed vision and aesthetic, continuing their streak of new music releases where a sense of progression is invoked. It’s expected at this point, and in a genre where progression isn’t commonplace and often first albums are a rapper’s most heralded, it bears a lot of weight that this group simply can’t make new music without “development” being a part of the dialogue.

“Time Machine” features the powerful vocals of Neon Hitch, and ups-the-ante for up-and-comers with its video by Hourglass Films, setting the bar for depth and quality at a level that may have never been surpassed before by independent artists. The track features Kinetics as innovative and visionary as he’s ever been on the mic, invoking the sentiments of Nikola Tesla, using the second verse to detail elements of his poignant death, from the hotel room to the “do not disturb” sign on the door that he left prior to his passing. One Love, too, shows his maturity as a producer here, not just inviting the listener to enter this world, but keeping them there. While his production here isn’t as much in the forefront as it has been on songs like “Vecina Del Mar” and “You Could Save Us All”, he’s become so adept at using the intricacies of his production to complement his vocalists, and its often the subtleties of his work that are the most resonant.

Hip-Hop | Travis Barker (ft. Snoop, Luda, E-40, & Dev) – Knockin | Hip-Hop

Apparently when Lil Wayne claimed he was going to take on this new rock/rap sub-genre because he already mastered his original style, he inspired a number of other rappers to follow in suit. I’m not too crazy about this style and hope the big dogs don’t continue to stray too far from their comfort zones. What do you all think are we digging this sound?
