Listen: HU₵₵I – “404 EP”

Hu₵₵i dropped a new EP titled 404 earlier in the week that I’ve been enjoying quite a bit on the ol’ headphones. Even though the Brighton producer calls the release an EP it is twenty-two tracks and over an hour long.  You can grab the whole thing right now for a name your own price exchange, but it be worth it even at retail price. Plenty of killer tracks, including some I’ve shared in the past. New early highlights for me include "Mula" and late album cuts “Thir$t” and “Moon.”  Give  it a spin below and pick the whole thing up HERE.

Listen: Boothroyd - "Idle Hours EP"

Tri Angle's latest signing Boothroyd is set to release his debut four-track EP for the influential label next week. Idle Hours is more quality music that lives in that space  in-between dreams and nightmares, cityscapes and rural areas, dark and lite, ambient and noisy. If your the kind of person who occupy's those same spaces then you should be all over this.

Listen/Download: Youthquaker – “BitTorrent Bundle EP”

Definitely some interesting  and experimental things going on with the production from Youthquaker on their new ep...

Youthquake was a term coined by Vogue’s Diana Vreeland; shorthand for the social disruption of the 60s. What started as a moment in time became a sprawling movement: a shared belief in self-expression.

Illangelo and Phlo Finister’s Youthquaker sets out to recapture this spirit. The project from the GRAMMY Award-winning producer (and The Weeknd collaborator) is cinematic, textured, and timeless: 90s trip hop + the sound of the 70s. Your first listen is here. Youthquaker is debuting three new tracks from their upcoming album, Projections, as a free BitTorrent Bundle. Download the Bundle, and unlock the movement: in song, video, and art.

Download/Listen: Girl Talk & Freeway - "Broken Ankles EP"

Video: Broods - "Bridges"

Two videos in one month from New Zealand electro-pop act Broods, this time it’s for their breakout single  “Bridges”. The video was shot in Copenhagen and directed by Jeppe Kolstrup and Aleksander Hørup.

Video: Broods - "Never Gonna Change"

New Zealand electro-pop act Broods have shared a video from their recently released EP for “Never Gonna Change.”  The glitchy tune, with its hazy lush vocals, finds the perfect visual match in a clip that sees a cursed man struggling for love.

Listen: Broods EP (Full Stream)

New Zealand’s pop duo BROODS  made their debut EP available to stream this morning. The six track effort features, among other songs, “Bridges,” which you might have heard on our latest playlist series from earlier in the month. The ep was produced and co-written by Joel Little (Lorde), and will be available to download on February 2. Take a listen beforehand below.

Video: Twigs: "Weak Spot" & "Breathe"

With no warning what so ever Twigs released a 4-track EP which features the previously heard "Ache" and "Hide" along two new tracks. The mysterious artist that shares a sound someplace in-between the bedroom R&B sounds of the Weeknd and electro pop pixie Grimes offers up “Weak Spot”, which is slightly different side of the artist but every bit as intriguing and “Breathe” which continues in the style we know from Ache. Check out the videos for the two new songs below, as well as a stream of her 4-track debut EP which is now available on a 12” via Boomkat.

Video: Azealia Banks – “Van Vogue”

AzealiaBanks has released the official visuals to her song ‘Van Vogue’ off of the 1991 EP. The video was directed by Rankin who was also responsible for the “Liquorice” clip.  The outcome is another dark and stylish video, showing the singer in various situations not unlike a fashion shoot.

Listen: M.I.A. ft. Missy Elliott & Rye Rye – “Bad Girls" (Switch Remix)

With “Bad Girls” we saw a return to form from M.I.A. and sticking with the winning formula of the past she has enlisted Switch (one half of Major Lazer) to provide a remix. With guest verses from Missy Elliott(welcome back) and young Baltimore upstart Rye Rye this one is a winner. An EP entitled Bad Girls – The Remixes, featuring appearances from Missy E, Rye Rye and Azealia Banks over reworks from Switch, Danja and Leo Justi will be released July 6th digitally, or if you’re feel like dropping a little coin you can pick up this exclusive USB key necklace.

Video: Azealia Banks - "Liquorice"

Azealia Banks has been very busy... Today the young emcee is back with a new video in the form of the Lone-produced "Liquorice" from her recently released 1991 EP.  Azelia was styled by Nicola Formichetti and the western themed clip was directed by Rankin.

Listen: Azealia Banks – “1991″

Harlem MC Azeilia Banks returns with “1991” the title track from her new ep produced by American electronic artist Machinedrum. This one isn’t as fun as the steel drums and circus vibe of “Jumanji” but the rapper spits her rhymes with equal furry over the the dub meets dancehall vibe. The 1991 EP is out today digitally and 6/12 physically via Interscope. It’s a package that also includes the previously released “212” and “Liquorice.” Her mixtape, Fantastic, is out July 4th, and apparently the aforementioned “Jumanji” will find a home there.

Video: Woodkid – “Run Boy Run”

We first shared some music and visuals from Yoann Lemoine’s Woodkid project a year ago in the form of the excellent “Iron”. In that year Lemoine‘s star has grown brighter with his Lana Del Rey video’s and remix’s and although Yoann was already known for his sleak music videos for the likes of  Katy Perry, and Moby he is poised to make Woodkid just as successful in it's own right. Check out the breathtaking video for new single "Run Boy Run" which Yoann of course directed himself, if you like what you hear head to iTunes to grab the Run Boy Run EP released today.

Listen: Cut Copy, Aeroplane, and Cosmic Kids Remix The Rapture – “Sail Away”

On January 17th The Rapture will be releasing a three-track remix EP for the single "Sail Away" from their latest LP In the Grace of Your Love. The remixes were done by Cut Copy, Aeroplane and Cosmic Kids, with the Cut Copy remix being the standout. You can stream all three remixes below.

The Rapture - Sail Away - Remixes by DFA Records

Listen: Strobo Trip - Flaming Lips 6 hour single

The Flaming Lips known for their trippy interactive stage shows now allow you to have one of your own in your own bedroom whilst zoning out to a 6 hour song entitled "I Found a Star on the Ground".   Released as a charity aid for the Central Oklahoma Humane Society and the Academy of Contemporary Music at the University of Central Oklahoma, Strobo Trip Light Phase Illusion Animation was released as a limited, collectors edition 3-song EP (collab with Sean Lennon) accompanied with a strobe light and multiple trippy discs.  The goal is to spin the discs and shine the strobe on them creating some looped animations you can stare at presumably and hopefully for a number of hours.

This interesting release comes in a line of new "object releases" Wayne Coyne and the Lips have been doing and have planned for the future. Others include glow-in-the-dark 12' vinyls and gummy skulls, frogs & fetuses.

"I Found a Star on the Ground" (6 hours, broken up into 3 parts)....

Part 1



Part 2


Part 3




To check out the other 2 tracks pick up the collectors edition of Strobe Trip for $45.  You'll be lucky to track one down but if you do wont be disappointed... and its for charity, ya ass.
