Friday Fresh 10a – Nerstylist – Grey Areas 2 (PLSTK Mix Series 005) (Video & MP3)

We’ve had our hands on this mix for quite a bit now and are glad that our good friends at PLSTK were behind the scenes on helping to commission one of our favorite DJ’s Justin Ner aka Nerstylist to put this bad boy together.  When you have one very reputable source of cool hunting creatives touch base with a DJ with a big set of musically curative cajones, only good things can happen.

Grey Areas 2 is a sequel to an aforementioned mix series that Nerstylist began a short while ago in what was the forerunner of our current Friday Fresh column.   While continuing down the path of exploring the world of ‘post-music’ where genre’s have co-mingled and become an ever evolving grey area of sounds, moods, and musical cross-pollinations, Grey Areas’ is both …

Jarell Perry Releases ‘Aviation High’ (Semi Precious Weapons Cover) & Announces Album Release (MP3)

 

URB Favorite (& NEXT contender) and MTV Buzzworthy artist, Jarell Perry, has managed to succeed where so many artists have tried and failed — produce a cover that is just as good as the original.  Inspired by indie-electronica wunderkin, Semi Precious Weapons, Perry’s cover of Aviation High takes the track to new heights (no pun intended).  

While maintaining the original’s idea and intent, Hassan’s deft production refinement of the track’s ‘Big Room’ sound is pushed ever further by Jarell’s signature soulful modulations.  It is just the right ‘twist’ provided by the duo that from what we at URB hear, got the folks behind Semi Precious Weapons to call the track ‘gorgeous.’

Released as a precursor to his debut full-length, Simple Things, on March 18, Aviation High …

SXSW Watch – Sarah Jaffe (Update 2) (Download) (Video & MP3)


With SXSW in full swing, we thought it would be a good idea to shed light on another act that should be on your radar — Sarah Jaffe.
Her forthcoming album, The Body Wins, drops on April 24.  Our early thoughts on the album see it as a creatively textured amalgamation of sounds and musical influences.  With different acoustic and electronic influences, the haunting, and yet danceable melodies that are presented should be heard (and in this case seen) to be believed).
Catch Sarah TONIGHT during SXSW at…
