Some atmospheric and spacious acid house coming through on this new Recondite track, “Tie In.” It’s a song from the German producer’s latest album, On Acid, which takes a somewhat fresh and subversive approach to producing acid house. While “Tie In” does contain the genre’s trademarks–repetitive
A video from the increasingly popular parody rapper Krispy Kreme. Yeah, there’s been a lotta joke rap in the past, but what makes Krispy Kreme so interesting is that he blurs the lines between making legitimate modern hip hop and and a straight up joke. I’m not sure
On his first major label effort, Big K.R.I.T. tricks out his trademark Southern hip hop sound with an abundance of horns, strings, piano, and guest singers. WATCH THE REVIEW

Matthew Dear pulls together yet another moody dance tune with the first single to drop from his forthcoming album, Beams. “Her Fantasy” brings a sweet beat, bubbling arpeggios, and Matthew’s unsettling dead pan vocal. Look for this new album on August 27th via Ghostly International.

With some laid -ack drumming, airy synths, a Metronomy sample, and falsetto vocals, “The Gold is Mine” is begging to be your windows-down, summer rap jam. To me, Odisee walks a nice line here between having a message, and coming across preachy. The songs hook could be a little stronger,
It isn’t particularly easy to categorize the music of alt-J, a quartet that has origins in Leeds, England. I could apply a phrase like “indie rock,” but the band’s combination of folk-indebted guitar work, expansive instrumentation, and lead singer Joe Newman’s distinctive vocal delivery, makes such a
