Diplo Disses Coachella


Diplo and his #1 homie Tiësto backstage at Coachella.



We’ve lost track of how many times Diplo has appeared on the Coachella stage over the year, first as tour DJ for M.I.A. in 2006, and at least once with his own act, Major Lazer. Throw in at least one solo DJ set in 2008, and you’d think he’d be a pretty big fan of the annual festival. Apparently he’s a bigger fan of talking trash on Twitter, like he did yesterday when he tweeted: “

“Maybe I’m just throwing shade but ‘Coachsmella’ looks pretty lame this year. You used to be a place to check out new bands/music.

“Besides Snoop and Dre that’s boss shit right there. Its like bootleg Ultra with a few bands that are safe.”

The tweet has been deleted, but what do you think? Is “Coachsmella” not cool anymore because Diplo said so? …MORE

Astronautalis – Contrails (feat. Tegan Quin of Tegan & Sara) @astronautalis @BrokenSLC (Video)

From the URB Tweet Feed:

Here is a dude you should watch! I produced the beat for him! Nap times over!

-Christopher Greene (@BrokenSLC)

I told you once and I will tell you again. Don’t interrupt my nap time (or as I like to call it “hangover recover hours”). I’ll accept it this one time because this song is wicked. I mean, it’s Next 100 good. It’s printable good once URB finally releases our special edition print issue (coming soon – I hope).  So good that if Tegan & Sara play take the stage at Coachella, I better see Astronautalis on stage with them for this one song.

Koncept “Feel So Good” and the Real Girl @koncept_ (Video & MP3)

From the @URBmag tweet feed,

Twitter, a place for music. No wait, that was that other networking site. A lot of artists tweet us their music so from now on, every now and then, I’ll retweet and blog the good and probably do the same for the bad (with insulting remarks). Let’s start with the good, a Fat Beats (NY) alumni named Koncept who made this sick song called “Feel So Good.” This song has a addictive kick beat and fun lyrics which should not be surprising if you know any of the Fat Beats crew (I miss that place). Check out the song and video above and look out for the “real girl.”

Wolf & Club ‘Science & Sorcery’ (Review)

Wolf & Club

Science And Sorcery

Released by Last Gang Records


The four-piece Australian outfit Wolf & Club perfect a  newfangeled brand of psychadelic rock on their latest release 'Sciene And Sorcery'. Their hearty sound( made by possible by their utilization of two drummers) can be heard best on the thumping album opener "Seven Sevens" where lead vocalist Joel Byrne delivers seemingly cryptic lyrics in a funky Prince-like falsetto. Also noteworthy is the heavily rock influenced "What Are They Running From"--an up-tempo track with a most savory bass-line and lengthy percussive breakdown. Other standout tracks include "Master"--a post-punk influenced piece, as ...
