The Anarchist Republic Of Bzzz - The Anarchi ..For guitar-heads, the very idea of Marc Ribot and Arto Lindsay collaborating on a record is enough to load up their diapers. That these two legends mix it up with a couple experimental rappers on a set of fifteen tracks (and their remixes) that lay waste to dub, free jazz, hip-hop and noise-and most other labels as well-is too good to be true. While the new self-titled release by The Anarchist Republic of Bzzz is not completely, instantly classic-(and really, what can be today, since only the shit truly reaches maximum exposure?) this is a snarky, smart display of ...Music Emissions23 January 2012

SxSw List AnnouncedSo normally I'm not in to posting music festival set lists (see the 0 that we've done before), but this year is different. I'll be venturing down to the music portion of South by South West in my former home of Austin, TX and might just get a press pass to cover the event for a much more popular blog than this one. Don't worry I'd still post obscure twit-pics and one-liners from @hypefloats. Anyoo the potential set-list of performers slated to show if they don't get to high on Hydrocodone and miss their ...hype floats18 January 2012

DJ Format Returns With New AlbumDJ Format is set to release his new album 'Statement Of Intent' through Project Blue Book on March 5th. DJ Format is straight from the old school. Inspired by the Golden Age of Hip Hop , the turntablist blends dextrous skills with an eclectic ear for samples. Returning with his new album, the south coast based artist has apparently found inspiration in heavy psych samples. Pounding drums litter DJ Format's new work, and this is perhaps unsurprising given Chicago's 'I'm A Man' remains a favourite with breakin' crews around the world. Project Blue Book are set to handle ...Clash Music18 January 2012

OCCUPY VIDEO TIME: Mr. Lif + Thievery Corpor ..I rarely hear Mr. Lif listed among the most, as they say, “political rappers.” He’s not mentioned alongside the more aggressive likes of Immortal Technique, nor is he someone who I picture kids who get their philosophy from Tumblr to understand.

Anomie Belle – The CrushClick image to download full album Sounds like: Zola Jesus, St Vincent, Baxter, Joanna Newsom "Anomie Belle - Machine" What's so good? Anomie Belle is a rare breed of artist that cracks into my cynicism. As indie music becomes a fragmented jigsaw of hi-fi and lo-fi, remixes and mashups, she releases The Crush with a full spectrum of whimsical electronic effects, strings, and grainy allegorical vocals. Far from recycled pop hooks, her music is ominous and theatrical, composed layer by layer, somewhat like Zola Jesus. The album opens on “Electric Lullaby,” loops of vocals, keys and drums ever so delicately ...indie shuffle30 November 2011

ANOMIE BELLE | Machine (f. Mr. Lif)Anomie Belle’s upcoming release, “Machine” EP, features a song of the same name, that is poignant and sexy as hell. It’s an eclectic, neo-soul, electronic snaking with imaginative bursts and sporadic rhythms. Think Janelle Monae, old Imani Coppola, or the female vocal-led tracks of Tricky. The most melodic lyric is both beautifully sung and meaningful. [...]Their Bated Breath24 November 2011
