New York’s Cults have a deeply rooted love for pop’s older and more sentimental side. Considering how referential this music is, these two must be extremely well-verse when it comes to the Spectors, Wilsons, and Meeks of the world. I’m sure they’re even fans of artists
On SBTRKT’s self-titled debut, this London-based producer cooks up a solid set of dubstep songs; icing them with some pretty soulful vocals from Sampha. Plus, the clean and lean electronics bubbling under him are the perfect complement to the feelings he’s conveying. There are several different vocalists featured,
MP3 To celebrate hitting 500K Twitter followers, Mac Miller released this new track featuring Talib Kweli. I’m not in love with everything the dude does, but I really like this track. It’s got a chill beat produced by Like, and tells a story of the awkward growing phase
