    Joy O(rbison)- "Sicko Cell"

    The Needle Drop

    A track from Joy Orbison’s latest single, “Sicko Cell.” Slowly, but surely, I’m getting into dubstep’s and future garage’s many flavors. Out via Swamp81, “Sicko Cell” stars off slow, but hit’s a nice bass grove with some tight and light percussion backing things up. I’

    Washed Out- Within and Without

    The Needle Drop

    The Needle Drop

    If you watch my reviews on the reg, you know how I feel about Cults. So, imagine my hesitation when I saw that my new favorite beatmeister remixed one of their songs. Well, truth be told, 1-Minute Miracles performed like a plastic surgeon of the sonic persuasion on this one,

    Kendrick Lamar- Section.80

    The Needle Drop

    Compton rapper Kendrick Lamar doesn’t follow the usual tough and hardened stereotypes that come with repping the California city. The guy isn’t a wimp, but he’s more interested in saying something thought-provoking than violent. Backed by some fantastic beats, that’s what every track on this new
