Freddie Gibbs’ sober-minded rap doesn’t allow that much creative wiggle room, but he manages to stay grounded on this left-field remix from LA electronic group Pollyn. You don’t have to worry about any emo Cudi rap from Gangsta Gibbs.

Gaslamp Killer is another one of those LA producers who I should have been checking for a year and a half ago, but instead I’m going to peep his new EP Death Gate and then stumble through his discog ass backwards. “When I’m In Awe” sounds like something the Swamp Thing plays when he’s having sex. Gonjasufi’s debut album A Sufi and a Killer is just as trippy as everyone says it is.

Underground lyrical slayers Sene, Co$$, and Homeboy Sandman trade their craziest Bible-themed rhymes on this transcontinental apocalyptic posse cut off producer J57’s new electronic album Digital Society, which is out now.
I love how Daedelus’ creepy vocals make me feel like my house is haunted. This track comes from Proximal Records first compilation Proximity One: Narrative of a City. His remix of Baths’ “?” has a similar effect.

Like his Order of the Golden Dawn EP, Daedelus’ remix of Baths typographically frustrating “?” has an ethereal, contemplative beat made unsettling by an unintelligible chorus from a distant booming voice. Man, LA’s got beats like the Gulf has oil. It seems like every month there’s a new electronic producer from LA with soul-piercing beats. Baths’ Cerulean drops June 22 and is way up on my must-peep list.

If you dig Flying Lotus and Free the Robots, Alex B is all you. The Colorado producer is the latest in a new class of beat-heads radiating from LA who make-spaced out dubstep beats. The song comes from his newly released album Moments. Now to find a copy.

This is FlyLo at his most extravagant. The quiet little electro ditties from 1983 and Los Angeles are gone. “Do The Astral Plane” is the soundtrack to an epic alien space battle, but instead of fighting, all the aliens are getting their groove on because the music is so nuts. Cosmogramma drops May 3rd/4th.
