All in music
Pusha T slams down an epic beef track, tipping his hat to Biggie and starting up some ruckus with Drake and Lil' Wayne. The Dream signs off on the hook. Some great lines here: "We the ones the judges are juggling their gavels on". The sarcastic cackle sample is Uncle Ricky a.k.a. Slick Rick The Ruler. Crumbs.
A week ago, as I arrived in an empty office and put on my headphones, three swallows dipped past my window. They weren't the first I had seen this year, but as the room was empty and the music on my headphones seemed to fit their flight, I imagined they were there for me. They were carrying a message. A change in the air. I sat still for a moment and watched them.
Shot with all-time KNOTORYUS hero Nicolas Karakatsanis. And yes, it is weird. And amazing. And Belgian supermodel tunrned DJ/Stylist Kim Peers is in it, puking and kicking ass.
Clams Casino is probably on of the hottest producer of the moment, launching A$SAP ROCKY into the hip hop stratosphere and saving Lana Del Rey from the brink of hipster oblivion in less than a year. His instrumental mixtapes are still essential downloads (stream his mastered tape after the jump), and now there's a smooth 25-minute mix of his own classics and some unreleased gems to add to the legacy. Originally delivered to the doorstep of Benj B's BBC 1 radio show, now ready for your ripping pleasure.
Major Lazer dropped the new track 'Get Free' for uhm... free, including a B-side remix.
Sébastien Tellier is taking his spiritual sexy crazy commune vibe to the next level with the new video for 'Cochon Ville' (roughly translated: Pig City). Apparently, YouTube banned it after less than 100 plays. And here's why.
OFF! doesn't do three minutes. But somehow, director Richard Kern is able to take the one minute and fourteen seconds of angry awesomeness (including *gasp* guitar solo) that is 'Wiped Out' and cram it full of moshpits, heavily breathing hipster girls, skate FAILs, surf FAILs, chubby kids french kissing and good ol' punk rock shouting.
I have spent my morning listening to the entire new Chromatics double album Kill For Love and it is not really improving my mental health.
It's that pretty motherfucker with that psychic Canadian phenomenon Nardwuar, having a chin wag about hanging out in Harlem, A$AP samples and a certain czechoslovakian muze.
Grimes is fast becoming 'an obsession I feel comfortable with'. Really, if you only watch one video this week (or month), let this be it.
Justice made a rifftastic mini-mix for BBC's Annie Mac: a five minute name-that-tune geekfest, no doubt inspired by uncle David & uncle Stephen from Soulwax.
Oh slap!It's the Oddfuture Hody, Domo Genesis and Tyler, the Creator video for 'Rella'.
"Hey man." "Hey Michael, wassup?"
"Not much. Chilling with my loafers in the snow, you know?"
Talk Hard sent me this seamless blend of Kavinsky and B.I.G. called 'Nightcalling Big Poppa' at the exact moment when I pressed play for the Diplo Mad Decent Transformers in the Hood Mixtape. And here you were, thinking the universe was nothing but random events and chaos.
Imagine Vangelis, Enigma, and Ed Banger tag-teaming to produce a prophet for the end-times, dressed in blue cookies, commanding cosmic laser transport.
Evil Twin is the master. Evil Twin is the bass.
Everybody has one.
Let.
Them.
Out.
