| Tuxedo (Mayer Hawthorne + Jake One) Puts Their Back Into It: “Do It” | November 24, 2014 |
Chris Daly created “Green Eyed Soul” with producer Erick Sermon Doctor Deen already hipped you cats to the melodious, R&B/pop goodness that is Tuxedo. To briefly recap, it’s the alleged side project of Mayer Hawthorne and Jake One, it’s blue eyed soul mixed with some funky goodness, and if nothing else, their music is bound […]
| Bad News From a Pretty Mouth: Yaarrohs “Flesh & Blood” EP | November 19, 2014 |
Chris Daly From Sia to BANKS to FKA Twigs, there’s been a growing pool of talent in 2014, whether your tastes run more towards the pop territory staked out by the former Zero 7 front woman or the Bjork-like oddity of the artist currently known as “Formerly Known As,” it’s time to add another name […]
| I See Colors: Mo Kolours “You (Wailer)” | November 12, 2014 |
Chris Daly lives, dies, and repeats If you’re a broke ass cat who is into the indie beat scene, there are far worse times to be alive than right now. In an effort to break through the clutter in an otherwise overcrowded musical landscape, seems like every producer/DJ and their mother are dropping free joints […]
| Simians Don’t Sleep: Bonobo’s New Mix & EPs | November 6, 2014 |
Chris Daly fucks, then he sleeps. Say whatever else you might be so inclined to about Bonobo, but you certainly can’t say he’s been traveling at less than the speed of sound these days. Fresh off his 18 month, international “North Borders” tour, he dropped the appropriately named The North Borders Tour – Live, a CD/DVD […]
| The Year of the Eagle: OME’s “Dark Comedy Late Show” | November 4, 2014 |
Chris Daly consults tea leaves before smoking trees. Seriously, somebody needs to tell Open Mike Eagle to take a breather. Depending on which tea leaves you happen to consult, four out of five leading psychics agree that 2014 will go down in history as HIS year. With only an album or two even jockeying for position, […]
| Spooky, eh, Kids? Passion of the Weiss Halloween Mixtape | October 30, 2014 |
Chris Daly has the illest costumes OK, admittedly, this may not be the first Halloween mix you hear this year. Hell, it might not even be the first one you cop from Passion of the Weiss (props to Evan). Let’s not kid ourselves, though, one can never have enough musical accompaniment for a night filled […]
| The Shady Trail of Repeated Measures | October 22, 2014 |
Chris Daly will never correct the problem. It hasn’t been an easy year for Christopher Norwood aka Repeated Measures. While working on his latest opus, the aptly named Collapse, Norwood was repeatedly hospitalized for a medical condition that caused, you guessed it, his lungs to collapse. After a number of surgeries to correct the problem, he […]
| Shaker Notes and Strange Dreams: An Interview With Paul White | October 21, 2014 |
A deeper look into one of the most creative producers of the last half-decade.
| The Dandelion Seeds of Kratos Himself | October 13, 2014 |
Chris Daly doesn’t smoke stems, seeds, or sticks. “Sonically adventurous soundscapes” has become a descriptor of beat music that says nothing and something. However, I’m hard pressed to think of a better way to describe the latest from Kratos Himself, the somehow aptly titled “Dandelion Seeds.” The Dutch producer, who shares a name with one […]
Chris Daly eats peanut butter every day on the daily Let’s be honest with ourselves: one can never have too much jazz or hip-hop in one’s life. If you’re anything like me, you’re obviously attractive and well loved by everyone, but you also prefer your musical forays to go the backpack route. When you get […]
