I like everything about this song. I like the beat. I like the video. I like Danny Brown’s missing teeth. I like the chicks. I like the proliferation of n-bombs. I like it when he says “Shake that ass for a hipster nigga.” I like the pancakes. I like the unabashed, Nancy Reagan-spiting drug abuse. I like that Danny is finding ways to top XXX. I like the XXXI tease. And I like the chicks. Likely this year’s best song so far.

We had a chat at HQ and we decided there weren’t enough sex videos on ML. A quick search turned up this video for Slugabed’s new single off Time Team, out May 7. I haven’t watched it yet, but I’m assuming it’s steamy. For round two, listen to Daedelus’ remix.

New Brighton based artist Tourist, or more easily Google searched as William Phillips, is someone who I’ve been meaning to write about for months now. A friend sent me a link to Placid Acid back in January and I couldn’t get enough. I sought out everything else he had recorded to tide me over until he released his first EP which dropped just a few weeks ago (and is fantastic). Luckily, he also posts remixes under the name Little Loud that are just as great to listen to. Placid Acid feels like there should be lyrics to memorize even when none are present. It’s reminiscent of Jamie XX and Animal Collective without feeling like a knock-off which is refreshing in the middle of the EDM era we’re currently in. His sound is versatile; translating anywhere from easy-listening to dance floor.

Check out Placid Acid before he gets big, I promise you won’t regret it:

 

If I was a betting man, I’d say yes. They are probably waiting for State Farm (sponsor of the stream) to discount errr cut the check. If you look at the Schedule it says 10:35pm PT, and that is the only act that hits the stage at that time on Sunday. If you recall, something similar happened with Kanye’s mind melting perfomance at Coachella last year, which got added to the stream schedule mear hours before he hit the stage (it was TBA all weekend).  Warren G let the cat out of the bag that himself, Eminem, Daz, Kendrick Lamar, Wiz Khalifa are going to join the good doctor’s set. I expect even more guests, to be honest. I also expect the Radiohead stream to be added on Saturday. Keeping all of that in mind, one other scenario that can play out is they’ll show a part of the set as ACL’s stream did with Arcade Fire’s closing set last year.

The entire stream schedule can be seen on the Coachella youtube page, which starts streaming at 3:25 PM PT today.  Also, can we talk about A$AP Rocky headlining a tent after being on the scene for like a year? Impressive.

Edit 4/15: Confirmed Dr Dre & Snoop Dogg’s set will be streaming.

Mo Kolours presents further proof that beats are the universal language.

Yo! I have a flight to catch in about 4 hours, yours truly is going back to SXSW.  I’m currently shaking with anxiety, as there is so much to do so much to see, that I have oodles of content from last years SXSW that I never got to share with y’all (stay tuned I’ll probably crack open the vault real soon).

Last but not very least is the Fader Fort by Converse, which has gotten so big that’s a Festival within a Festival, so meta. ML will be there a lot. Bet on it.

You can see my sched.org schedule here. Which lists a majority of my picks in a nice, neat order. First timers tip: Sched.org app/schedule as well as the official SXSW app are must haves if you have a smartphone.

If you are going, one word of advice, don’t run around from show to show, remember to have fun. I know it can be hard to fight off that FOMO (fear of missing out during SXSW).

Be sure to follow on twitter: @Metallungies & on instagram: Dj01 for nonstop content overload through the week, I’ll try to post updates through the week here as well (crosses fingers for homeless wifi hotspot).

Like the bumping and grinding of celestial bodies.

Zomby’s 8-bit grooves are some of the few that I can get behind. The jumpy vocal samples on “Labyrinth” and the ominous, meandering “Trap Door” are high points. Also peep his awesome album Dedication from earlier this year.

Listen to Nothing here.

Teebs has a new batch of tunes on the way called Collections 01. Below you can find two shimmering beats for the soundtrack to your next grand adventure.
