Veni Vedi Vici is probably on my top ten list of songs, let alone, one of my favorite Black Lips songs. There’s an attitude in it that I love, something about it rings true to a certain New York City attitude. And the mere fact that the words are, I came, I saw, and I conquered, feel all [...]
Fresh to death is the only way I can describe this new MIA mix. Diplo and world influences all over the place, extremely raw, aggressive, edgy, full of energy and genre defying. Not since Kala have we heard such #spaceagerebel banger music, this mix is everything I could ask for right now. Make sure to listen for [...]
So I’ll put my faith in something unknown I’m living on such sweet nothing But I’m tired of hope with nothing to hold I’m living on such sweet nothing.” Sometimes a musical pairing comes along that makes you go, “what?” When I first heard the rumor that Florence Welch was teaming up with Calvin Harris [...]
Good vibes. Good life. Good morning. The first 10 seconds of this track and on will have you feeling elated all day long. This is Diplo’s first single from his to-be-titled late 2012/early 2013 release (it’s his first full length LP in eight years…). Given that little fact, I am more than okay with the [...]
Okay. I want y’all to prepare yourselves for this video. Put on the nicest pair of headphones you have, turn on full screen mode, adjust the quality to the highest you can go and hold tight. I want you to experience this. This video is straight fire! But would you expect anything less from Diplo? [...]
OBSESSED! This is almost all I want to say but that would be a big no no, but that word pretty much sums up this track for me. I know I have been holding out on this one all weekend, but I really wanted to give you something that will make you feel so F*&cking [...]
Look at these pros. Look at these clothes. Look at this dough. Look at this gold, looking evil. Look at me then look at these hoes. These bitches ain’t fucking with me. Killa! Killa! Killa, killa! Killa! Killa, killa! My money on it we now gon’ knock on it to set it low. Bar don’t [...]
While many have come to know Labor Day weekend as a last hurrah for the summer, New Yorkers have come to know it as the weekend where electronic music takes hold of Randall’s Island for not two, but three whole days. I had the pleasure of attending Zoo on Sunday, after deciding that there was [...]
Every day we come across well-intended artists that make an attempt at ameliorating an already epic song by remixing it in their own style. I don’t know about you, but looking for a good remix of a classic tune is like looking for your contact lens in the middle of a crowded dance floor. A [...]
How important is a producer to an artist? Well, the Michael Jackson sound we all love wouldn’t really exist without Quincy Jones. The psychedelic pop genius of Oracle Spectacular wouldn’t be nearly as adventurous without the vision and direction of producer Dave Fridmann. Would there even be Snoop Dogg without Dr. Dre? M.I.A. without Diplo? I [...]
