Years & Years joins DJ/producer Regard for “Hallucination” – LISTEN NOW!

On the new single, Regard says: “I loved working with Years & Years on this new single. Olly’s voice brings the song to life and really captures the idea that the beauty of love is so similar to the fear of hallucinations”

RZA and DJ Scratch Release New Track and Video “Fate of the World”

The album, Saturday Afternoon Kung Fu Theater, is a love letter to the kung fu movies that aired each Saturday on local tv channels when there were only 5 channels to choose from. The films inspired fantasy and imagination for a legion of young people and showcased gloriously violent lessons of good vs. evil.

OUT TODAY: A Psychedelic Pastiche of Retro-Futurist Pop | Cosmic Crooner – “Reflexopolis”

The follow up to a string of successful singles, Cosmic Crooner continues his alluring thread with another lavished serenade. Leaning into the dogmatic quirks of 70s psychedelia and vintage decorum, Cosmic Crooner has noted that ‘Reflexopolis’ is his most reflective and cheerful piece to date.

Ravive Releases New Single “Cry About It”

“Cry About It” is unlike any other Ravive song so far, and I love that. It has this particularly gloomy energy, I got to be sinister. The other songs I’ve released so far have all been very moody, quite serious. This one is too, but it has a certain sense of unholiness that I felt was a cool fit for the next single. It can mold into anyone’s story.

SEB drops new single “f*** it, im the man”

LA-based artist SEB has just shared “fuck it, im the man” (via Mom+Pop), on which the nascent pop artist evokes a home-fi spin on the 80’s Quincy Jones sound. The song follows last year’s “god of the sunsets” single and the IT’S OKAY, WE’RE DREAMING EP, dual manifestations of his genre-eschewing sound that owes as much to Joni Mitchell as to Tyler the Creator (and the latter of which featured his breakthrough hit “seaside_demo”). His diverse influences serve as a reflection of his varied background, coming up in Chicago after hopping between New York, Haiti, Oklahoma, and Miami, before making the move to LA to focus on his music career.
