Cubez are fun, and their music is eclectic, intricately orchestrated and combined with an incredibly skilled live performance. They are a sampling and drum playing powerhouse. Showcasing Angelo Tursi’s mastery of tonal exploration and Eric White’s (aka lil Panda) 808 beat crafting skills, Cubez is hot on the scene with their debut EP Skams (released on SpinSpinNYC just a few days ago and receiving tons of love), featuring a dark, minimal remix by Philadelphia’s Starkey.

Hollyweerd alum, current member of Grammy nominated production crew The Flush, and one of #NewAtlanta’s torch bearers of the old school ATL infused/stream of consciousness rap/lo-fi/pop/indie rock sound, Go Dreamer has hipped us up on the first visual drop for his next mixtape release ‘Animals vs Machines 2 Side: (M)achines’. The first AvM made waves last year, and so far, from what we’ve experienced from this go around, one would expect the same.

The first episode in the series, entitled ‘Don’t Call It #Alt-R&B’, features interviews with Miguel, How To Dress Well (formerly one half of The Weeknd), Jeremy ‘Zodiac’ Rose, Rochelle Jordan, and BadBadNotGood.
