NAYTRONIX ALBUM STREAM
Naytronix’s latest musical offering sees him turning from the disjointedly funky party dance anthems of his debut Dirty Glow (2012, Plug Research) to a surrealist stream of consciousness poignancy. While his music keeps its characteristic reflection of ’70s Onyeabor and Bootsy Collins, there is a new facet of the sincerity and vulnerability of Arthur Russell amidst the psychedelia, as if wishing to land the Naytronix Mothership down to stay with us for a bit.

SCREAMING AT DEMONS “ROCKSTAR”
For the first time in history, a groundbreaking homeless project and a powerful rock band have teamed up to change lives around the world.
Homeless Rock Stars is the brainchild of international rock photographer Nigel Skeet. After 25 successful years of being a photographer in Los Angeles, Nigel moved to Redding, California to raise his young twin daughters. When he opened his photography studio in downtown Redding, he was warned of the “homeless problem” in the area. This statement struck him as “bullying the underdog” and he decided to do something about it. Over the course of three days, Nigel Skeet photographed and interviewed 50 homeless people in his studio, just like he would a rock star.

Despite hailing from Pittsburgh, the Taylor Gang rapper decided to name his track after a NY sports hero, although we can definitely see why. As said by HotNewHipHop, “Jeter is actually a pretty good analog to the rap dream — franchise player, making a ton of money, sleeping with models, making hits.” The Bobby Johnson-produced track hits hard immediately, with rattling drums and ominous, arpeggiated synths followed by Wood’s powerful delivery.
