rusko // kapow ep

dubstep/bass/glitch artist extraordinaire rusko (christopher mercer) has a thing for turning out bangin’ music. you know, the kind of music that’ll make your trunk rattle off the hinges. with his latest release the ‘kapow ep’ rusko is creating a veritable feeding frenzy by giving it away as a free download. and although this is only a four-track release each song sounds much bigger and badder than the sum of their individual parts. (1. yeah 2. booyakasha 3. bring it back 4. like this) each one is a certified keeper. crank ’em loud and enjoy. peace. Continue reading “rusko // kapow ep”

Recently the good folks of Sirius XM‘s Alt Nation have put Safe and Soundinto regular rotation and of course the fans want to keep it there. So, here’s the deal: Continue reading “capitol cities // safe and sound gets sirius!”

capital cities // nothing compares 2 u

Capital Cities (Ryan Merchant and Sebu Simonian) first caught my attention when the duo got their hands on Pink Floyd’s song Breathe and creatively (albeit funkily) infused Tupac Shakur into the track. It was nothing short of pure genius. Now, the party boys from The City of Angels have quickened my pulse again with another incredible cover, their better-than-Sinead-O’Connor‘s interpretation of “Nothing Compares 2 U.” And if there was any lingering doubt after their self-titled 2011 Capital Cities EP, this track solidifies Capital Cities as anything but a novel act, these guys are legit.
