Vince Staples Is Quietly Releasing The Hottest Bangers of 2017

In the lead-up to the June 23rd release of his sophomore album Big Fish Theory, Vince Staples has put out two of the hottest tracks I’ve heard so far this year. February’s “BagBak” is a right tune, but “Big Fish”, his latest single, is INSANE. As in, “I’ve listened to this 14 times today” insane. The slinky, West [continued]

Johnny Jewel has been making waves in the world of film scoring for several years now.

Album Review: 9 – Cashmere Cat

I must start by saying I am a longtime fan of Cashmere Cat. I’ve been obsessed since the release of his premiere EP Mirror Maru and his earlier remixes. I admired his fully realized and unique sound, as well as a talent for genre-bending and creating compelling organized chaos.
