Childish Gambino - Not Going Back Ft. Beldina Malaika

"Suck a dick, we the shit, Metamucil"


I love they way Donald Glover goes about his tunes, his rapping is intense and the backing tracks always go well with his flow, his words may come across a bit strong but you just have to take it and realise he is just taking the piss, which is why is probably appreciate his music so much.

Jimi Hendrix 12 string

Something different, doesn't really need much explaining. Hendrix jamming on a 12 string = porn.

Metronomy - She Wants


Metronomy are one those bands with such a specific sound everybody kinda likes them for being different, but they have some real talent. This track is very dark by their standards,  Gbenga Adelekan  makes this track his own as he plucks away a sweet bass line, very chill track.



Metronomy - She Wants:

Trea The Truth - I'm On ft. Lupe Fiasco, Big Boi, Wale, Wiz Khalifa & MDMA

This track can be summed up by awesome rapping and an awesome backing track, no bullshit, just some rapper and their backing track. All five of these guys have flow thats staggering and each give something different, listen to this shit and relax.

Radiohead - Optimistic (Live At The Basement)

I just cant get enough of Radiohead and if you watch this live performance and don't think they are amazing then I don't want to know you. There is something that these five blokes do together that just sends chills down my spine.

Gil Scott-Heron & Jamie XX - NY Is Killing Me

Jamie XX is out and about again, I have thrown some of his music at you earlier in one of my very first posts, with his remix of Adele with Childish Gambino. Here he has teamed up with  Gil Scott-Heron an American soul and Jazz Poet to make an whole album, so if you like the track hunt down the record, and if you can't tell by the name he is also the beat man for The XX which means I fucking love him.

The Naked And Famous - The Source

The Naked And Famous are a band with enormous potential. Hailing from New Zealand their album 'Passive Me Aggressive You' is an amazing record packed full of classic tracks. I hope these guys keep doing what they are doing because there isn't enough good music in this world.

Poolside - Harvest Moon (cover)

Poolside have come out with a Neil Young cover and I dare say it is quite cool, not my favourite Neil Young song but still turns out to be a great track. Have a listen.

Birdy - Shelter (Photek Remix)


Jasmine Van den Bogaerde, also known by her stage name Birdy, was born in 1996 which makes her feffing young for a chick witha voice like that. Well known for her cover of 'Skinnny Love' she has avoided writing her own music by doing a cover of 'The Xx' song 'Shelter' and then some wacky DJ went and remixed that. I know its all very confusing, just hit play and you will be ok.

James Vincent McMorrow - We Don't Eat (Adventure Club Dubstep)

Adventure Club are a Dubstep troop that are blazing around the Internet, they have heaps of stuff floating about.
Here is my latest discovery by this duo. Most Dubstep I find is way over done and too busy, this tune however is very chilled and works well with the original track.

The National - Exile Vilify

The National are a band I never really liked, they actually got on my nerves a lot, so it's a great feeling to hear a song that does the complete opposite. This track is smooth and hits all the right places, excuses if it's not very new I usually avoid these guys like a plague.

Pretty Lights vs Radiohead vs Nirvana vs NIN

I could swear I posted this two weeks ago but apparently not.
I also swear this is my last Pretty Lights mix for a week. However I couldn't think of a better DJ to mix these three bands together and it turns out to be bloody brilliant, I'l say it again I am all for mixing classic songs I know some people hate it but god dam how can you complain about this.

Pretty Lights - I Know The Truth (live)

So you all know how much i love Pretty Lights by now, suffice to say, that if they ever come to Melbourne I will be that chick in the video in a bikini, at the front of the mosh, with glow paint all over my body, Taking loosing my shit.
This track is a lot more DUBSTEP than most his other tracks and its live.
I really suggest you visit his site HERE And get a hold of all the free music he gives you.

Golden Oldie: Pixies - Hey

So I just bought the best of Pixies Vinyl and I am obsessed with basically every track. This is one of my favourite to smash out on full blast, remember this song was released in the same year I was born 1989, fucking crazy.

Pixies - Hey:

Alexisonfire (Dallad & Wade) - The Northern (Acoustic):

So if there are any Alexisonfire or City and colour fans around you should appreciate this track, Alexisonfire's fourth album was pretty terrible, however this acoustic version has at least saved one song from my totally hatred. Dallas and Wades voices blend perfectly from Sooth to Raspy.
If you want to skip the talking go straight to 0:55 mark, but they do talk about JJJ though.

Alexisonfire (Dallad & Wade) - The Northern (Acoustic):

Ian Brown - FEAR (High Rankin & Evolve or Die Remix)

So this is my girlfriends addition to this site, she has been bugging me about it and emailed me this non terrible song so I figured I would share it with you...
A little Dubstep on a Tuesday morning is the ONLY  a way to wake up.

Kreayshawn vs Flaux Pavilion (DOSVEC Mashup) “Gucci Cant Stop”

Flux Pavilion are dripping with steeze, so any mashup comprising this legend of a track has potential.
This was pulled together by DOSVEC and works outrageously well. 
Enjoy



Pretty Lights- Country Road

Prettys Lights is by far my favourite Internet DJ, he pumps out amazing mixes with his own unique sound, never overdoes a remix and my favourite thing about him is, he doesn't smash out, over the top Dubstep, its smooth and fits in with the song.
I have been tuning into his music for a year or two now and he is growing and just getting better and better, take the country song 'West Virginia by John Denver and carefully insert some dub and Country dubstep is born.

Macklemore And Ryan Lewis - Wings

I don't know if this is a massive product placement ploy by Nike or what's going on with this song, but I find it very intriguing.
