    Rapsmith Milo drops his first track from his forthcoming project, Cavalcade, which will be coming out on July 9th. While it’s not one of the dude’s strongest hooks, I think the growing intensity of the instrumental and Milo’s verses is actually pretty great! Catch a review for

    When I first ran into the music of Blondes last year through their self-titled release on RVNG Intl., I thought the house duo had plenty of grooves. However, things fell a little flat when it came to interesting sounds. The duo seems to be making more of an effort to

  • Diarrhea Planet release their second single off of I’m Rich Beyond Your Wildest Dreams on Infinity Cat. For most of the duration of the song, the focus is on the vocals, with an arpeggiated guitar providing a bed for them. At 2:48, the song turns into a guitar-jam,

  • Action Bronson and Harry Fraud release another song together after dropping the Saab Stories EP.
