CELLUS HAMILTON RELEASES “MY DRUNK CONFESSION” FREESTYLE VIDEO
Cellus Hamilton refuses to hold his tongue in his latest freestyle “#MyDrunkConfession”. Boasting production from Neal Howard (Atlanta) & Rozart (Chicago), Cellus Hamilton explodes on the heels of 2015 with this linguistic exercise. The pop-infused production from Neal Howard is intertwined perfectly with Rozart’s contrasting trap palette. The video – directed by Blakkhouse Films – is a visual manifestation of hip-hop & divine intoxication.
LAWRENCE ROTHMAN NEW VIDEO
Lawrence Rothman dropped this today and it’s gorgeous and strange. Angel Olsen is featured on the track.
“W2L”
England native TroyBoi and Stooki Sound capture the London cityscape with “W2L” (Welcome 2 London). Seemingly cacophonous samples peppered throughout come together to create a deep addictive sound. Stooki Sound is a London based duo who have made their career on pushing boundaries within the bass music scene by staying true to their love of UK Grime. Both TroyBoi and Stooki Sound’s trap nods complement each other so well that it’s a treat they have teamed up for this syrupy ode to the city.

CORRECTIONS HOUSE NEW SINGLE
From their deviant and soon-to-be-released second LP, Know How To Carry A Whip, today the miscreants in CORRECTIONS HOUSE reveal second track, “Superglued Tooth” via an exclusive North American premiere with MXDWN.com. Combining oppressive vocal bile with sadist electronics, the track smudges emergency measures of dystopian melody across distinctly punchy machinedrums in a manner that verges on deranged, bristling with kinetic energy and harking to the most outrageous aspects of the members’ collective discography.

JOEL HOEKSTRA’S 13 PREMIERES 5th SINGLE “SAY GOODBYE TO THE SUN”
“Say Goodbye to the Sun” represents the heavier side of DYING TO LIVE,” explains Hoekstra. “It’s the monstrous voice inside us all that tells us to abandon hope. Vinny Appice (drums) and Tony Franklin (bass) provide thunderous support to the guitar riffs while Derek Sherinian (keys) adds tasteful playing throughout. Russell Allen (lead vocals) just flat out rips this one to shreds, while Jeff Scott Soto adds the killer backing vocals. I’m honored to have these guys bring this song to life for me. I hope you dig it!”

I’m excited for everyone to the rest of my new EP. It will be out before 2015 is over.” – STWO
