Luca Venezia’s other identity, Curses, allows him to take a storied turn from the rock & roll inspired breakbeat that he has become known for with Drop the Lime. He dropped off the map circa 2009 and has since been shrouded in mystery; until just recently. He maintains his choppy bass style but puts down the rockabilly guitar for “New Gotham House” synths. With his revival of Curses, Luca continues to flirt with the dark and mysterious side of the underground as is evident in the mix below. Marble Music just released his newest 2-side EP, So Good.

You’d think with an amazing album just released and a performance at Coachella under the belt, the Neighbourhood would take a rest. Instead, Jesse and his hoodlums are at it again releasing new tracks that are pure lyrical gold. Sometimes, there is just no stopping the flow of art. To solidify the fact that they are devoted to their cause, the Neighbourhood are releasing songs as additions to shows of “The Love Collection” national tour with Lovelife, The 1975, FourNames, and JMSN.

We touched base with Anna Müller and Paul Wallner of HVOB (Her Voice Over Boys) to express our gratitude for their amazing album, and they gifted us with an exclusive mix that we’re delighted to share with you. It’s 63 minutes of house that seamlessly blends the songs on their debut album, along with other rhythmic inspirations and remixes available on their EPs. It showcases the duo’s tremendous talent at mixing and sheds a whole new light on the sound we fell in love with. It’s safe to say that we’re waiting with bated breath to see them in a live setting. Enjoy!
The quack is back. We’ve been needing a jiving summer haircut with some funky, tried-and-true style. A-Trak and Armand van Helden have provided us with a mighty fine one at that. Buy it here!

Good music coming out of Australia is becoming a way of life nowadays. Case in point: Jagwar Ma. Jagwar Ma (Jono Ma & Gabriel Winterfield) take on a huge role in this ‘revival’ scene that the music world is experiencing right now. Their debut Howlin’ is a veritable psychedelia experience. What makes them unique is their flawless combination of genres from the 60’s through the 90’s – sometimes even in the same song (‘Exercise’). You’ll catch hints of The Chemical Brothers, John Lennon, Primal Scream and The Beach Boys just to name drop a few.
Now we know those are names you don’t ever see next to each other when considering musical style, but bear with us. If you were alive or have musical influences from these periods then you’ll get what we mean when you start listening. Keep your eyes and ears on this duo; they’re destined for greatness. Buy their debut using the link above!
