First Vape & EDM Partnership is here.

Posted on by

It seems that the e-cig industry has finally grown to such a distinguished size that it’s starting to knock on the door of EDM to sell intoxicants to the young. A series of DJs are being employed to get people hyped about an admittedly decent idea. A combination iphone case & vaporizer. Because that was a market gap you weren’t high enough to come up with. I’m not really going to comment on the video because the obvious misogyny & poor shot choices speak for themselves. However, the lineup for podcasts includes 12th Planet, BORGEOUS, Griz, Bixel Boys & Rif Raff. Enjoy the tunes, and if you buy one, DEFINITELY comment on whether it sucks or not. (via FreshNewTracks)

Breaking: Pussy Riot To Go Free!

Posted on by

The Guardian and many other news sources are reporting that under an amnesty agreement with the Kremlin, Pussy Riot is to be released. Sources close to the jailed punk stars have confirmed it, though I’ll bite my tongue until they’re free and home safe. #freepussyriot

New Daft Punk Music Video Gives All The Feels With Julian Casablancas Center Stage.

Posted on by

I don’t know who Julian Casablancas is & I don’t really register him as a separate artist when I listen to Random Access Memories. I’m going to stop doing that immediately. The music video for  Instant Crush was released today and the only time the helmets appear, they’re on a shelf. The focus on the singer, who is striking, talented, and what appears to be twelve years old, is an excellent choice. Daft Punk has done quite well playing second fiddle to their accompaniment as it were, and it works perfectly. The love story between two mannequins is painful & sweet at the same time, and in 5 minutes, tells a vastly superior story to the sum totality of Twilight. Put it into your face, then go hug someone.

RZA Pours One Out For Paul Walker. Respect.

RZA & the late Paul Walker were a bit closer than I’d previously assumed. With the untimely & tragic death of Paul Walker, RZA took some time out to pay tribute to a friend. A demo featuring Will Wells for a brief but fulfilling friendship. It must be weird to become famous, realize you’re surrounded by fake people, then connect with someone who is bewildered by the same things. Check it out, and don’t speak ill of the dead.

The Most Relaxing Song In the World (Apparently).

Posted on by

While I don’t put much stock in anything that the Daily Mail reports, the song is pretty damn chill. Long too. So, just in case you wanted to pass out at your desk on this Thursday morning, or if you need a track to soothe your frazzled nerves after your 3rd cup of coffee, we’ve got just was the doctor ordered. Kudos to the Marconi Union for this. Hit them up if you’re in Manchester and need to take the edge off a gabber show.

New Collaboration Between Volkswagen & Underworld is Awesomely Dangerous.

Posted on by

Volkswagen recently tapped old school stars of electronica Underworld to help them develop an an app that takes data from your VW systems on brakes, gas, steering and creates music with it. That’s right, you can generate Underworld-designed grooves by driving your car. Of course, the app both isn’t out yet, and also seems a terrible way to increase auto-accidents. As the beat gets harder as you get faster, this couldn’t possibly go without incident in the USA. Check out the full tech demo below, for 18min of synthy, electronic goodness & a VW driving around a test track.
