The title is truth in advertising: Camo UFOs are so kool, they’re definitely killing it…

Chung steps aside to allow a variety of today’s most innovative sonic technicians deconstruct his masterful grooves; unlike many remix projects, however, the revisions on Drift Remixes both keep enough of the originals to keep the connection organic while at the same time taking them to unexpected, uncanny realms.

This tiny bit of memery is a fine place to jump into Shatner’s record Has Been from 2004, a supremely overlooked piece of culturo-pop.

EMI recently reissued a series of John Lennon albums and re-shuffled them into compilations to commemorate what would have been Lennon’s 70th birthday on October 9th. Checking out Lennon’s work in context makes the greatness of each individual album less important—it’s the overall simulacrum of the work taken together that feels most important, and proves Lennon to be one of rock’s fascinating, active personalities.

Marc Bolan, T. Rex’s main man tragically died in 1977, but not before he was established as a style/rock icon on the level of David Bowie—and The Slider helped establish that reputation.

Despite his famous friends or hype or whatever, the man otherwise known as Wesley Pentz remains a DJ’s DJ. His latest mix, Diplo Presents Dubstep: Blow Your Head, could serve as a primer in the genre – but what it really does it provide a glimpse into what Diplo appreciates in the sound, where he connects with it. He’s not a purist dubstep DJ, but a dancefloor diplomat, reshaping the funk in his own image.

Yes, it’s another game changer, from the very man who on some level invented this game.

Tune in, turn on, and chill out—ambient’s not going anywhere, so you might as well just sit back, relax, and enjoy the very slow ride…

Warpaint just released their debut album, THE FOOL, and well, it may be the vaguest music ever. And yes, I mean that as a compliment—like, a huge one. All buzz bands should be this vague…

With a non-stop barrage of blunted breaks, the Killer just got iller.

From Burial to its founder Kode9, the Hyperdub label has been famed largely as the one-stop shop for all that’s adventurous and forward in dubstep and related bass-driven dancefloor subgenres. That’s why the beloved imprint’s latest release, North, the debut album by the band Darkstar, proves initially so startling.

Despite having already released the most ambitious album this year, FlyLo dazzled heads yet again by recently dropping a new seven song e.p., Pattern+Grid World. The only grid boxing him in is the span of his seemingly infinite talent, which, as is obvious, ain’t no box at all.

Stateside heads are missing out on Roots Manuva – not just one of the great lyrical stylists of our era, but one of the great b-boy eccentrics, with cred to burn regardless if he’s from across the pond. His latest album, Roots Manuva Meets WrongTom: Duppy Writer, draws tracks from all of his albums. It’s a career retrospective, yet radically deconstructed with Carribean dub science.

The Glitch Mob’s innovative head-nod side has come back with a vengeance in their new mixtape, a genius companion piece that redefines Drink The Sea’s moodscapes brilliantly. It does so by pairing the album’s instrumentals and beats with a cappella vocals and grooves from the likes of Lil Wayne, M.I.A., Nas, Jay-Z, Daft Punk, Dr. Dre, Mobb Deep, Freddie Gibbs, Young Jeezy, Busta Rhymes and more.

It’s clear Big Boi is getting hip-hop back on the good foot with his next-level summer jams.

“The Best of Times” is a surprising, fantastic song, both a high water mark for both hip-hop and for Sage Francis as an artist.

In between the lull of winter and the full-bore of summer, some music to help you decombobulate.

Murs has been the face of West Coast independent hip-hop since he released his first single back in 1993. On April 3rd, he hosts the fifth edition of Paid Dues, the acclaimed one-day festival he founded to celebrate the best of independent rap past and present.

“Supergroup”: that bitter taste in your mouth right now is a conditioned response to all those forced collaborations that consistently came up short (The Super, Super, Blues Band wasn’t all that super, Farm Aid). Gayngs is that, and exactly not that. Long song label to the stars Jagjaguwar instantly snatched them up, betting that the [...]

“Somebody say party here!” A vocal sample commanding as such was the first thing the crowd heard last night as Groove Armada took to the stage at Hollywood’s Henry Fonda Music Box Theater, and they didn’t need much encouragement in this area.
