Frankmusik, one of the electronic music scenes very best artists, has been doing fewer remixes and more original songs of his own as of late. You could call it “pulling an Avicii,” but we do believe that Frankmusik started releasing songs of his own before Avicii, our point being that Frankmusik is an original and…

Dum Dum Girls’ first release, a cassette called Blissed Out, was as lo-fi as you can possibly get. Or pretty close to it. To my ears, it sounded less like lo-fi and more like shit. (It was a bedroom recording, in their defense.) But my opinion of the group has gotten progressively better with the…

This luscious ballad begins with Katy B singing softly over melancholic piano notes. “I still see your face like it was only yesterday,” she sings, her voice full of longing.

This make-over by The Hood Internet gives the song a delightful old school hip-hop vibe in terms of the warm, throbbing beats, meanwhile there’s a slight trap vibe to the…

It feels so surreal, listening to this newly unearthed collection of Johnny Cash songs recorded with legendary country producer Billy Sherrill in 1981 and 1984. Like most of his fans, by now I’d simply thought that everything he’d ever recorded that he would have wanted released was already released. And so it was a very…

A few remixes of HAIM’s wonderful tune that is “If I Could Change Your Mind” have surfaced recently and they’re all quite good. The Knocks remix is fantastic, for example. But it’s this MK remix that we keep going back to. It’s got a distinct ’90’s house vibe to it that makes the song sound…

If you listen to hard rock or metal in any of its various forms, chances are you’ve heard the fancy fretwork of guitarist Gus G. during recent years. He’s probably most known for his work with his own fantastic band Firewind, which I would probably categorize as power metal if I had to assign them…
