Stream Beans Album, ‘End It All’ (MP3)

File under hip-hop we actually care about, pt 2 (still not talking about the Grammys edition). Our friends over at Self-Titled Mag scored themselves the exclusive stream of Anti-Pop verbal conflabulator Beans‘ new album, End It All. The record drops tomorrow on Anticon, and features production by Four Tet, Nobody, Bumps (of Tortoise), Tobacco, and more. We’ve already heard TV on the Radio‘s Tunde Adebimpe supplying vocals on first single, “Mellow You Out.”

@TheAlexChapman predicts 2011′s musical champions (Video & MP3)

 

This year has been quite a ride for music: Nicki Minaj mania upped wig sales everywhere, M.I.A.’s anti-Google crusade fell flat, and the annoyingly adorable 20-somethings of Glee took over America’s airwaves. Between all the accomplishments and pitfalls, an array of artists began to prove themselves as interesting and appealing digressions from the typical.

Released by !K7


German-born and Berlin resident Sascha Ring, also known by his more recognizable name, Apparat, has had one of the most consistent electronic artist careers to date.  With his knack for beautiful compositions and sonic artisanship, Apparat has developed a unique style of his own through a synesthetic blend of ambient, downtempo, techno, glitch and even trip-hop elements.

Mount Kimbie – Crooks & Lovers (Review)

Mount Kimbie

Crooks & Lovers

Released by Hotflush Recordings


London duo Mount Kimbie are ready with their debut album Crooks & Lovers after having released a couple of EPs on British dubstep label Hotflush. Dominic Maker and Kai Campos have also caused some stir with their excellent remixes, and they sound nothing like their peers. They have an indie approach to their electronic beats, and in a world of shifting sounds they’re already defining "post-dubstep". They have more in common with Dilla, Four Tet or Boards of Canada than the UK bass scene, but the fractured ...
