    Thundercat- "For Love I Come (Lapalux Flip)"

    The Needle Drop

    Brainfeeder artist Lapalux remixes fellow Brainfeeder artist Thundercat on the track “For Love I Come,” which was originally written by George Duke. Yeah, a lotta conversions going on here. The ‘Cat version was already pretty spacey and open, but this remix brings it to an extreme that’s pretty refreshing.

    The Needle Drop

    MP3 A new track from Big K.R.I.T., featuring 2Chainz, 8Ball, and MJG. It’s titled “Money On the Floor,” and has a fat, Southern beat. The pitch-shifted vocals over the hook are another nice tough as well. Basically, this track has everything I dug so much about

    The Needle Drop

    MP3 Some thick guitars and catchy group vocals coming through on this new Diarrhea Planet track, “Warm Ridin’.” The band has a new LP out via Infinity Cat titled Loose Jewels. Is it just me, or is it nearly impossible not to relate anything having to do with this band–

    The Needle Drop

    Overdrive Sunrise by Dusk Warrior Are you the kind of crate-digging soundmonger who considers 70’s b-movie soundtracks ear candy? If so, give Dusk Warrior’s latest, Overdrive Sunrise, a listen. These guys–Nicholas Shapiro and Michael Osso–have created an album of instrumental snippets that could be described as

    Pink Magick by GIRAFFES? GIRAFFES! An intense show of instrumental power on the new GIRAFFES? GIRAFFES! album, Pink Magick. From what I understand, it’s the Northampton band’s third full-length album. If you’re into intricate drums with driving beats and colorful layers of math rock guitar leads, then

    Andrew Jackson Jihad- Knife Man

    The Needle Drop

    With an almost unmeasurable poetic bitterness, Andrew Jackson Jihad are as sharp as ever on their new album, Knife Man. As usual, the music here is about the lyrics. The chord progressions are familiar copies of folk songs and punk tunes. Hell, some of the songs even sound similar to
