Mr. Robot| JUNGLE.’s Masterful Groove | February 20, 2014 |
Brad Beatson has his own line of shoes and you didn’t even know it. Little has changed with Jungle since we named their EP, The Heat, #40 on our best albums of 2013 list. They’ve continued to stay out of the spotlight, changed the lettering of their name to “JUNGLE.” and have released yet another undeniable […]
| Sunday Morning Comic: Lookin’ Like a Fool | February 17, 2014 |
Brad Beatson knows it’s Monday. Sometimes, when I meet a woman who seems interested, I spout fiction as fact. I want to project where I think I’ll be rather than own up to where I’m at. I don’t think they want to hear about the drudgery of freelance work or the financial benefits of the dollar […]
| SBTRKT’s Standard Deviation | February 10, 2014 |
Brad Beatson isn’t feeling these snow storms. Yesterday, Mary Anne Hobbs of the BBC 6 Music Show played a new, world exclusive, instrumental from the prolific masked man. “Hold the Line”‘s rooted in steady bass but features frenetic overlay instrumentation that tricks the mind into preparing for a DJ Rashad-like set. SBTRKT’s mastery of […]

Brad Beatson is from where the Buffalo roam. Future has a new track:
| Sunday Morning Comic: Thinkpiece Journalist Essentials | February 2, 2014 |
| Sunday Morning Comic: Trent Reznor’s Plea | January 26, 2014 |
This past week, I tried out Beats Music’s streaming platform because it’s a free trial and available and I enjoy both music and things that are free and available. At the end of the trial, I decided it wasn’t for me because I’d rather pick the music myself and arrange it rather than worry […]
| Question in the Form of An Answer: An Interview with Jessy Lanza | January 23, 2014 |
It’s easy to assume that Jessy Lanza is just the angelic voice, but she’s first and foremost a producer. The Ontario native has a degree in Jazz, and was studying for a Master’s in Musicology until she dropped out to focus on making music. Both her late-father and mother were musicians, and her production partner, Jeremy […]

| Passion of the Weiss Winter Mix Series #1: Brad Beatson | January 17, 2014 |
Brad Beatson on the beat. I dream a lot in the winter. When I’m confined to my apartment thanks to wind chill, the dreams tend to amplify. And so they anchor this mix, along with lines that make me reminisce, allow me to recover, or inspire me to plot my next move. These songs show […]
| The Cool Kids are Back with the Future | January 14, 2014 |
Brad Beatson owns 88 Starter Jackets. Yesterday, Chuck Inglish tweeted a link to a brand new Cool Kids song. A short while later, Sir Michael Rocks dropped another. The raps take you back. There is referential flexing over their signature sound, with more cowbell. Fear not, they don’t wreak of nostalgia. Chuck has done a […]
