Video: Lapalux - "Without You (ft. Kerry Leatham)" + FACT Mix

Brainfeeder’s Lapalux just released the Without You EP, which centers on the title track that will also appear on the U.K. recording artist’s forthcoming Nostalchic LP. The tune features guest vocals from frequent collaborator Kerry Leatham and it sets the tone somewhat perfectly for the accompanying visuals that feature an S&M suit-wearing character who runs into some trouble.

Listen: Danny Brown: "#HottestMC"

Danny Brown has recorded a new one-off track in response to the much talked about MTV's annual "Hottest MC" countdown. Of course anyone who takes a list of hottest mc’s (what does that even mean?) compiled by MTV too seriously should probably not even be on this site as it pretty much means fuck all but hey that doesn't mean some of the MC’s listed aren't talented.  "Fuck a top 10 list ... nigga im the Greatest Rapper Ever," Danny wrote on Twitter.

MTV reveals its top 5 tomorrow, will Danny make the cut?  Listen to the Harry Fraud-produced song which sees the rapper doing his thing in a slightly more laid back, or perhaps less animated, manner then we are used to hearing from him but as always with much humor.

14 Powell Peralta Ripper Parodies

Is there any graphic that is more iconic in skateboarding then Vernon Courtland Johnson’s(VCJ) Ripper? Combining the incredible line quality of M.C. Escher with his own uniquely-warped sensibilities the man is not only responsible for the time tested classic imagery that helped launch Powell Peralta and its skaters to become house hold names in the late 80’s but still holds influence with artists making waves in today’s scene. The Ripper has been the focus of many parodies, some by Powell themselves, others by rival skate brands like Blind during the heated and well documented battle for supremacy during the mid-90’s, some just offer tribute while others go for laughs, check out some favorites below…

VCJ at Powell Sharing some graphics with the team.

Video: Midnight Juggernauts – “Баллада Военной Машины Кли“

Australia’s Midnight Juggernauts recently posted some new material via a very clever and creative video on Youtube. The band leaked different versions over the last couple of weeks, but the videos were untitled with no association to the band, apparently the title translates to “Ballad Of The war Car Clip” or "The Ballad of the Military Machine Clip" according to a Russian co-worker of mine.

The guys released this statement on the whole affair…

“For some reason we liked the idea of being an anonymous soviet art-pop band from decades ago, so we shot a video with this premise on the streets of Russia. then we made it look like the clip was presented within an old Russian music program from 30 years ago.”

Listen: M.I.A. - "Matangi Mix"

Over the weekend M.I.A. shared a short “mix” she produced for the Kenzo fashion show in Paris featuring some new original music by the Sri Lankin.  It's called the MATANGI mix which of course is the also the name of her forthcoming LP that is scheduled to drop April 15^th but has already been delayed several times. This is everything good about M.IA., hard percussion, international flavor and more, fingers crossed that the mix is representative of the LP.
