Chiddy Bang - Peanut Butter and Swelly Mixtape →
Philadelphia’s Chiddy Bang have come back with another bumping mixtape for everyone out there. The mixtape is certainly another step forward for this great duo, with verry tight sampling, and obviously great raps. It’s obvious that this duo is going places withing the industry. Not only can they sample very well, but they apply recent samples, like Matt and Kims “Cameras”...

Toronto’s The Weeknd has been turning a lot of heads this year with his amazing free mixtape “House of Balloons”.

I won’t go into the track too much, but I will say that it’s just what you’d want and expect from this amazing group, and especially the leadman, Justin...
Newvillager - Lighthouse (Narcisse & Nat Evans... →
One of the beat farm’s favourite tracks of the springtime has to be Newvillager’s “Lighthouse”. Aside from having one of the catchiest intrumental melodies, the vocals carry the song to a whole new level. The band recently signed to IAMSOUND and will be releasing some kind of full-length in the near future.
Since the single “Lighthouse” was that good,...
WatchAlexander Ebert released his solo album a few months back, and it was not in the least a dissapointment. Check out the new video for the single “Million Years” which is interesting to say the least. But what can you expect from one of the most eccentric singers today?
In case you missed it, download the mp3 for the track below

Teams - Passion Fruit Heart →
Teams released a split earlier this year with the UK’s amazing Star Slinger. Since the release of “Teams vs. Star Slinger”, I have hopped on the Teams bandwagon as well. There isn’t much I can say about them other than it’s some awesome stuff. Check out the new track “Passion Fruit Heart” below.

City and Colour - Northern Wind, Fragile Bird →
I must say, it’s been quite a while since we’ve heard anything new from Alexisonfire’s Dallas Green. He has recently released two tracks on his website from his upcoming effort “Little Hell” which is going to be available on June 7th via Vagrant.
The first of the two tracks “Northern Wind” has the same easy going City and Colour feel that you’re...
Blackbird Blackbird - Euphoria →
Blackbird Blackbird has released another great track for us today. It’s another groovy and happy tune for the spring weather. I won’t go too much into the track, since the song speaks for itself. Give it a listen and download below.

Preview Avi Buffalo's New Material →
Avi Buffalo’s leadman Zahner Isenberg has recently recorded a few videos of new material which is interesting to say the least. All of the music is pretty beautiful, other than a few missed notes but the group hasn’t released any news about a new album. I must say, the facepaint and masks are an odd touch, but if its what causes this creativity in the songs, I can dig it. Check them...

Following the same great groove that Fucked Up is so good at defining and delivering.

NEWS: Big Boi to Produce new Modest Mouse Album →
News has just leaked of a new partnership between Big Boi and the members of Modest Mouse. Big Boi has signed on to produce the groups album with them, and had this to say about it:
“I’ve been a fan of the band for a minute. … We’re all musicians and producers and artists, and it’s just like a big-ass brainstorm, a brain-stormin’, tsunami, typhoon, tectonic-plates-movin’ kind of thing. We do...
Washed Out - Eyes Be Closed →
Ernest Greene, a.k.a Washed Out has to be one of my favourite producers at the moment. Being credited as one of the starters of Chillwave, he is certainly turning heads around the world with his amazing use of simplicity to still create intriquite sounds.
He has just released this brand new Mp3, which is going to be the album opener for “Within and Without”, which is coming out July...
Tyler, The Creator - Tron Cat →
Another fresh track from OFWGKTA’s leader, Tyler, The Creator. This one is titled “Tron Cat”, and is absolutely filled with those fun-loving lyrics as always. Goblin is set to hit shelves on May 10th via XL Recordings

Curl Up - Good Looks →
I can’t say that I know a whole lot about New York’s Curl Up, but he released one hell of a track a few days back titled “Good Looks”. It’s a tune filled with pumping bass, great sampling and a bashing beat. I have a feeling we’ll be hearing more from this great producer really soon. For now, just give this song a listen and download.

Giraffage - A Bird in Hand →
San Francisco’s Charlie Yin has been creating great electronic tunes under the Robot Science moniker for about 3 years now, and has recently started up a side project titled Giraffage. What separates the two sounds are Yin’s use of sampling and heavier mastering. Since I has been interested in Robot Science for a couple years now, Giraffage was a no-brainer
The single, “A Bird...
