02.16.11MP3: Star Slinger – Casanova’s Jump OffAs we celebrate Dilla Month, I'd like to take a moment to post a new track from a producer that I feel is one of the best following in his footsteps. The influence just drips through on every track Star Slinger does. Now, that doesn't mean he's just biting a style and doesn't stand on his own. On the contrary, he's actually one of the freshest and most exciting beat-makers in the game right now. I drove down to Tucson to see this cat open for Baths a few weeks back, only to find out he canceled due to VISA ...

02.16.11MP3: Wavves – TV Luv SongAt this point everyone knows Wavves, and everyone has an opinion on them. Love them or hate them, you've at least gotta respect their tireless devotion to creating and releasing new music. Especially when the music is released for free via their Twitter. Also, when accompanied by some fantastic artwork like what's seen above. If you like this one, keep an eye out as they'll be releasing a few more free tracks this week. Hopefully they'll be back to Phoenix soon. MP3: Wavves - TV Luv Song

02.16.11UM Is Bringing SBTRKT To PhoenixI am leaving for Thailand for a month on March 17th to celebrate my 25th year on earth. I am a combination of nervous, excited, and just a bit bummed about missing a few amazing and groundbreaking shows happening in Phoenix while I'll be away. In particular there's one show on my actual birthday, March 20th, that should not be missed by a single soul in the city. London's hottest rising producer, SBTRKT, will be making an appearance on his way to Coachella. This masked producer has me more excited than any electronic music has since Burial first came out. I ...

02.15.11Tyler, The Creator Tears 2011 A New OneThe whole Odd Future crew is nicely set up to blow up big this year, with their spiritual leader Tyler, The Creator taking the lead. After two years of the collective dropping endless free albums and mixtapes on their Tumblr, the labels are finally starting to take notice of this group of sick-minded individuals. Tyler will be dropping his second album, "Goblin," on XL in April, and I don't think it would be possible for me to be any more excited about getting my hands on it. The video for the first single just got released and it's posted up ...

02.07.11Photos: Little Dragon And Billygoat At Rhythm RoomLittle Dragon and Billygoat at Rhythm Room was hands-down the best show of 2011 thus far. It's one of the best shows I've seen in years, to be more forthright. This was the most packed I've seen the venue in quite awhile, and the crowd was really into the performance all night. The show started off with the orchestral music and beautiful stop animation video of Portland's Billygoat and then swiftly moved to the main event. I don't think anyone could have possibly left this show without a smile on their face. Tyler Nevitt caught some photos from a very ...

02.07.11Photos: No Age At Trunk SpaceHere's another set of photos courtesy of Tyler Nevitt, which I've again managed to post late. One of these days I'll get this straight! These photos come from a very special set that No Age played at The Trunk Space. The band was scheduled to play on a stage outside, but rainy weather reared it's head and the band had to head inside. A bunch of kids crammed in the room to see a band that is more at home on the festival circuit these days. Of course, this also allowed Tyler to grab some pretty intimate photos from the ...

02.07.11Photos: Small Leaks Sink Ships EP Release ShowI want to start off with saying that Tyler Nevitt took these photos at the release show on JANUARY 27th! How bad has the slacking gotten around these parts? Sorry, Tyler and everyone else awaiting these photos. It's nice to go back to the photos a few weeks after the show though. It brought me back to that night and remembering how awesome it was. Small Leaks Sink Ships played two sets on that fine evening at Rhythm Room to celebrate the release of their new EP. It's called "Oak Street Basement" and you can get it on iTunes and ...
