  • Dec 11 200 press

    James Blake - 200 Press

    The Needle Drop

    Fans of the London-based producer will have new material to tide them over until the rumored release of his next full-length, expected to drop sometime in 2015. The 200 Press EP consists of four tracks that might seem strange on their own, but come across as united in their oddity.

    Lotic - "From the Front" (ft. Dr. Luke, Rabit, Sugur Shane, DJ Karfox, Big Hud, Fat Pimp)

    The Needle Drop

    https://soundcloud.com/lotic/front Lotic’s self-released mini-album Damsel In Distress was named one of the best of 2014 by FACT Magazine, referring to it as a mixtape of “gothic club nightmares”. Quite a description of the Berlin, Germany DJ/Producers’ brand of dark yet satisfying, enrapturing club music.

    Krill - "Torturer"

    The Needle Drop

    https://soundcloud.com/krillband/torturer/ Melding elements of punk rock, loads of both metal and garage rock influences and a dash of poppy, melodic lyrics and undertones, Krill’s “Torturer” from the forthcoming album A Distant Fist Unclenching is rousing and bludgeoning, yet focused in its wild need to be

    OG Maco - OG Maco EP

    The Needle Drop

    With some pretty creative production backing him, Atlanta rapper OG Maco’s exuberance and extreme delivery distract from his need for better lyrics much of the time, but not all the time.

    Myrkur - "Skaði (Demo)"

    The Needle Drop

    Normally, I wouldn’t make such a big deal over a demo, but this new track from the one-woman black metal project known as “Myrkur” comes with a pretty interesting announcement: Not only is the cut embedded above going to be featured on the forthcoming Myrkur LP on Relapse Records

    Various Artists - "Detroit vs. Everybody (Official Remix)"

    The Needle Drop

    I recently reviewed the new Shady XV compilation with Mr. Steven Francis, and I remember commenting on how much of a letdown the “Detroit vs. Everybody” cut was. While there were come decent verses on the track, the list of featured MCs seemed kind of limited. However, this new official

    Death Grips drops a video single for the first track to be released from their forthcoming album, Jenny Death, which is also the second half of their yet-to-be-completed double album titled The Powers That B. I reviewed the first installment earlier this year. While it is my job to keep

    Shlohmo - "Emerge from Smoke"

    The Needle Drop

    Only a Shlohmo track can give you the sense of being stuck at the bottom of a deep well and then turn that well into a place of almost womb-like serenity. The L.A. producer just premiered a single to be released March 17 via a collaboration between True Panther
