Wendel Patrick is making a name for himself as a producer, fusing different elements of jazz, electronica and Hip Hop to create lush musical collages. In this video, he reworks DJ Premiere’s instrumental track from Nas’ classic Illmatic in his studio without the use of samples. Most brilliant.

This is a great music video where the magic comes from the fact they did it for real, when it could so easily have been made in CG. Lightboxes bearing beautiful typography light up in time and sequence to the lyrics of the song. It’s a lovely, simple idea, executed to perfection. A pleasure to [...]

After what has been reported in European media as the darkest winter for the past seventy years, I feel like every fiber of my body is craving light and warmth. The perfect remedy: the new album from Los Angeles buzz band, West Indian Girl. Shangri La is an ecclectic mix of musical influences, perfectly capturing [...]

The Seattle mystery group is composed of various established artists from the Northwest shrouded behind shamanic garb. Pulling the listener [...]

Normally, this festival hosts baby shows, dog jumps, and cross cut saw contests, but this year is different. The festival runs May 17-19, and the album will be released on the evening [...]

Mark this, then bookmark this: You Are Listening To Los Angeles combines live LAPD police radio with ambient music. It all started when Eric Eberhardt saw some tweets about a live police scanner webcast from soma.fm and gave it a listen: ‘Interesting stuff to be sure, but I got bored listening to just the voices [...]

This (rather NSFW) video by Biting Elbows is a brilliantly kinetic showcase of painful stunts and ballsy acrobatics. It is a follow up to The Stampede. I shudder to think what these guys might come up wth given an actual budget. Verité is apparently alive and well and living in Moscow.

Joyland’s track Whitebait is pretty sweet. Haunting, hypnotic and atmospheric, with a vocal reminiscent of Frank Black. There’s a nice video to go along with it, too, directed by Tom Skipp.

Haha, this is hilarious. LA-based music composer Andy Rrehfeldt arranged, played and recorded a breezy, significantly less angry version of Rage Against the Machine’s angry anthem Killing In The Name. As one YouTube user put it, the band should be fittingly renamed as Slightly Upset With The Machine.

Have you ever seen that trick where somebody flips an alligator upside down and it puts the alligator into a completely blank-eyed frozen state? That’s exactly what happens to our brains every time we hear Prefuse 73′s song Choking You from the album One Word Extinguisher. The ability of that entire album to convey deep [...]

This is a retro homemade sound. If you’re suffering from an overdose of X-Factor radio, I advise two helpings of Sea Pinks to relieve symptoms of cover songs and auto-tune. These two tracks, Japanese Knotweed (above) and Fountain Tessarae (below), got me into Sea Pinks, but the man behind the magic, Neil Brogan, is a [...]

One of the things on my bucket list was to see a gig at Brooklyn’s Music Hall of Williamsburg. Earlier this month I was able to tick this off my list with the help of Scottish indie rock quartet Django Django. It’s only fitting as their album was one of my favourite albums of 2012. [...]
