URB’s Top 5 Must-See Acts for SXSW 2012 (Video)

Five Acts We Won't Be Missing 

The URB contingent has landed in Austin and while our list of acts to see and parties to visit this year is seemingly infinite, we put our heads together to decide on a list of 5 acts that we’re especially looking forward to catching.

TNGHT – It had to happen sometime; heavyweight badman and WARP impresario Hudson Mohawke is set to debut his collaboration with Lunice, one of Montreal’s most prolific producers. Playing later in the week, we at URB honestly don’t know how to handle the excitement; but we know it’ll involve some booming drops and unreleased dubs. In other words, it has to happen ASAP. — MS
TNGHT will premiere at Warp/Brainfeeder’s party on Saturday the 17th.

Part hip-hop, part electrofunk and part space-jazz, UK producer Paul White’s new record Rapping With Paul White, is a genre-bending mixture of geographically diverse sounds. Featuring Detroit’s heavy-hitter Guilty Simpson of Stones Throw and Random Axe fame on the single “Trust” as well as the Motor City rapper Danny Brown on “One of Life’s Pleasures”, Paul White cooks up some delectable selections for our audible consumption—from straightforward hip-hop bangers, to more methodical and introspective instrumental tracks.

Eskmo – Eskmo (Review)

Eskmo

Eskmo



San Francisco's Brendan Angelides has been recording under the name Eskmo for more than ten years, and after a couple of acclaimed singles for Warp and Planet Mu, he’s finally ready with a full album on Ninja Tune.
