JOKER: GET DOWN, YALLLL

"whaddap purps"

If you dig hella heavy Friday night dance party sh*T, you in the right place.

Don't confuse Joker with the Batman villain of the same name. Although both wear copious amounts of purple, they have little else in common. One is a conniving prankster, & the other drops wonky, synth-laden, bass driven tracks that sonically assault yr earholes. THIS is the music that should be "up in da club", yo. It's not surprising Joker is tight w/ fellow dubstepper & rising star, Flying Lotus. Just saw him @ Coachella & he straight ripped it. Definitely gonna be a big year for both these mugs.

Scope these tracks & get yr grime on.

joker - "tron"
joker - "digidesign"
tc & joker - "it ain't got a name"

breakout: moss of aura

cover to the newest will smith movie, "i am nebula"

There is good music, great music, & then there is I-HAVE-TO-DOWNLOAD-YOU-IMMEDIATELY music. Moss of Aura absolutely qualifies in that coveted category. Hazed out electro jamz - similar to contemporaries Washed Out & Millionyoung - but heavier w/ bigger & badder beats. Which reminds me, Washed Out, Small Black & Pictureplane @ Rickshaw Stop March 28th. Gonna be the jumpoff, sen. Now quick, listen before it's too late.

moss of aura - swilling
moss of aura - thundra
moss of aura - team

the young sinclairs

The Young Sinclairs are a band from Virginia who sound straight outta 1960...like, seriously. They play summery psychedelic pop, & they play it very, very well.

Young Sinclairs - Tribe

Young Sinclairs - Darling

Young Sinclairs - Help You Decide
