DOOM and Oh No working together on this new collaborative, 5-inch single from Oh No’s forthcoming Ohnomite album. /via/

A quirky piece of electronic dance music from UK producer Fantastic Mr Fox. While “Speak Nuh” has a nice “boom, boom” rhythm, there are plenty of clicks and “clacks” to add some high-end–and some personality. The building claps toward the end are pretty nice touch, and the moody synth

Accompanied by a weird video, “Sins” is a straightforward hip-hop song, based around a hook listing the seven deadly sins. The beat is the best part of this song, but none of the emcees step up to this track. This is a shame, cause I know that they are capable

From the forthcoming album Major, Fang Island just released the track “Asunder.” Its a cool song, sounding a bit like the Strokes, if Julian Casablancas was quite a bit happier. It’s a summery track, with solid riffs, catchy vocals, and a shiny-gloss production. Go ahead, turn this one up

California rapper Ab-Soul’s sophomore release is as varied as it is exciting. Strong flows, clever rhymes, and lots of personality.

“Double Take” is a dark, funky, and grimy track from UK electronic music producer Girl Unit. It comes from his latest EP Club Rez, which is the followup to 2010’s Wut. The track hits hard, and warrants some serious finger-snapping. Almost as much as that new TNGHT track, but

While I thought the textures and samples in his instrumentals were pretty, it was a bit in-one-ear-and-out-the-other for me, sadly. However, the four tracks on this

Though the excitement over tracks like “212” and “L8R,” I’ve remained pretty luke warm on rap senstation Azealia Banks. But the closer we come to the release of her new 1991 EP, the more I realize she’s got a great ear for beats. Early, early this year, she

It’s hard to imagine the American doom metal landscape without Saint Vitus. The band released their self-titled debut album way back in 1978 and went on to release a series of consistently great releases up until their eventual breakup in 1996. Now, fifteen years after the release of their

On veteran electronic music producer Squarepusher’s latest effort, there’s a big return to the more electronic side of the project’s artistry. However, it doesn’t feel as fresh as it used to–even with the newly incorporated elements of dubstep in some of these tracks. WATCH THE
