Travis$ Scott is a 19-year-old Houston native, and a perfect hybrid of everything I like about hip hop and electronic music. I was just talking to a friend about how those two genres love to flirt with each other, and here “Lights (Love Sick)” illustrates that musical babies are indeed being made. So, yes — Travis$ Scott sounds a lil like Yeezy here, but not elsewhere . Elsewhere, his style is everywhere like a bona fide ...

If Teen Daze is Max Fischer, chillwave is his Rushmore. Unlike contemporaries such as Toro Y Moi and Washed Out—who graduated from the pseudo-genre's lackadaisical backbeats and murky synths on the strength of their pop chops—the nameless Canadian producer seems happy to wallow in the world of hazy electro soundscapes.

Put on your dancing shoes and put this track on rotate! The Young Midnight remix of Sleep Party People’s “Heavy Burden” is super charged and ready to roll. This particular remix is the work of Twin Shadow’s former bassist, Russ Manning (aka Young Midnight).

Koji, Kurt Travis, and Bearcat just recently finished up a full US tour with Never Shout Never. The tours over, but we’ve put all three artists together for a great new PropertyOfZack Playlist feature. Check out the Playlists and listen to the songs on Spotify while reading everyone’s thoughts! (Click on image to listen in Spotify) IT’S SPRING TIME. SOUTHERN MUSIC IS WHAT’S GOOD.

Not going to write up too many words about this one. It just felt kind of right for me. First of all - a little tribute to Adam Yauch - an idol during my teen years. This bad boy form Beastie Boys was nothing but a good man and visionary. Sadly he passed away and may he rest in peace. Death Grips are a band worth checkin' out. Very progressive hip-hop - something that the genre needs. Mamaleek are a LA band that kind of blows your mind - literally- and your ears too. Lightships, Capital Grey and Here We Go Magic are delivering ...

Craft Spells Gallery [EP] [Captured Tracks; 2012] by Jordan Redmond Rating: In Simon Reynolds’ book Retromania , the noted music critic discusses the dictates of tradition, especially in Asian cultures, of truly mastering a form before being able to elaborate on it and therefore building one’s distinctive creative voice. It’s difficult to say if Craft Spells, essentially the solo vehicle of fresh-faced Californian Justin Vallesteros, did the equivalent of making sushi rice for seven years, but the kid is certainly able to nail the winsome nature of eternal 80s touchstones. The heartbeat of his 2011 debut LP, Idle Labor ...
