The Weeknd - Echoes of Silence Mixtape →
Toronto’s The Weeknd dropped his third and final mixtape of 2011 yesterday to complete what has been a pretty insane year for himself. This tape features the same stylish voice that entranced us on his first tape of the year, House of Balloons. One track off this mixtape, “Initiation” leaked earlier this year, which was an awesome and deep track. The rest of the mixtape is...
WatchFucked Up took a trip over to Le Poisson Rouge a little while back and gave one hell of a performance. They played the entirety of their new album David Comes to Life, with a definite highlight being their fully orchestrated introduction. Check it out.
WatchNomadic Firs are definitely shaping up to be one of the better pop acts of 2012. They just released this new video for the song “Vines”, which is the kind of song that makes you crave warm weather and swimming pools. Even though we can’t have that right now we can enjoy the heck out of this song for the time being.
Nomadic Firs have a self-titled LP on the way in 2012 from Crash...
WatchGames, better known as a side-project of the guys in Ford & Lopatin just released 2 new videos for the tracks “Shadows in Bloom” and “Strawberry Skies” off their 2011 EP “That We Can Play”, which you can pick up over at Hippos in Tanks. Both videos feature some pretty old footage, which goes perfectly with Games retro sound. Check em out.
WatchUnknown Mortal Orchestra quickly became one of the most anticipated groups of 2011 after their EP early in the year. Their self titled full length album that came out later in the year wasn’t a disappointment either. Very heavy reverbed guitars and intriquite melodies make for some pretty awesome indie rock tunes.
The group just released this new video for the song “Bicycle” off...
Miike Snow - Devil's Work →
It has been quite a while since the Swedish electro-pop released their amazing debut back in 2009, and finally some new sounds from the group have reached the internet. No official album has been announced yet, but this single “Devil’s Work” came out earlier today and is a great new jam from the trio. It starts as a gentle piano ballad, but quickly erupts into a powerful...
WatchDanny Brown has had a pretty busy year, as has UK Dub producer Joker. The two met up a little while back for the people at pitchfork, and Danny Brown threw this freestyle on one of Joker’s beats. He raps about all the stuff he loves, from bitches sucking dick to snorting coke but its still a pretty gritty freestyle. If you like this, head over to Pitchfork and watch the other parts
WatchDirty Beaches took a trip to Paris recently, and recorded this little jam for Pitchfork. It’s an untitled track of Alex clapping and crooning over a single saxophone, pretty awesome stuff. Check it out.

Lakutis - I'm In The Forest EP →
The newest free release from the people over at MishkaNYC is from hip-hop up and comer and friend of the boys in Das Racist, Lakutis. He’s got a pretty interesting angle on the game, and this 7-song EP is definately worth checking out. After all, its free! The title track even takes a sample from Prodigy’s “Firestarter”. Stream it below and head over to Mishka’s...
