A high-energy, uptempo guitar-funk edit that'll have you jumping up and down when the horns hit. This comes from a busy Brazilian label.

This recent EP from Lapalux is a stunner, if you’re looking for something in the vein Aphex Twin circa Windowlicker. Glitchy yet beautiful.

I think I would have an easier time with the Avett Bros x Mike Patton album if it were definitely a joke. But it’s not, right?

Timeless banger
Buju Banton recorded this mighty tune in Oct '93 after his friend and fellow DJ Pan Head had been shot and killed in Spanish Town.

The bass heavy rhythm is by Mafia & Fluxy and is an update of Far East / Jah Shakey...

On the occasion of #SpotifyWrapped, we thought now would be a good time to share some cold, hard stats about how much money our band makes from streaming royalties.

I've always enjoyed this cover, which screams 1992.

Here’s a lovely, string-based drone/neo-classical minimalist piece by cellist Julia Kent, originally released in the spring of 2020.

It snowed twice in the last two weeks and I’m already dreaming of spring.

Sebastian Rojas' debut album combines dark new wave sensibilities with a flair for experimentation. Like Mexican Joy Division playing a reimagining of early TV on the Radio records. #newmusic #musicsky

Pulled this one out of the singles pile recently and gave it a spin. A cheeky tune at the geographic center of doowop, R&B and early soul.
