Nneka‘s “My Home” rides in on a classical piano intro taking turns at an unexpected reggae avenue to end at a fearless 60′s rendition of modern Motown rock. Enters the horns, and the sedated reggae beats again. The African folk-soul (...) Read More about Nneka: My Home (161 words)

Santa Monica based, Awolnation, is the solo project of Aaron Bruno. The concept behind his music not only comes out in the genre-mashing nature of his sound, a hi-fi pulse of electronic-rock/hip hop, but also encompasses his brand(of AWOL), which he explains as escaping “a situation you can’t handle.

Hudson Mohawke‘s “Thunder Bay” is a chop suey of tastey bits of bass, “ah”s and “oh”s made to scare off any epilectic. If I had to put money on it, I’d say Hudson has Sleigh Bells, Major Lazer, M.I.A., Girl Talk, and tUnE-yArDs on his everyday tracklist. Bets aside, there is no guessing or luck involved with knowing what strange, yet appealing mashed up arrangements he creates. (...)
