So, we heard this amazing track from a group named Kyodai… Beyond hearing the song play, we could find absolutely nothing to say about them… Resident Advisor says Kyodai are from the USA, and links to a Soundcloud page that...
I learned a valuable lesson about judging a book by it’s porno-esque name when I first saw the name Angel Haze. Angel Haze is an incredible, substantive, exciting hip hop from New York City; a 21 year old with amazing...
This week, we feature LA’s Dillon Francis – who has been the biggest name in the burgeoning Moombahton scene for a while now. This one is actually a remix of his track Masta Blasta released almost exactly a year ago....
SERIOUSLY looking forward to seeing Diplo tomorrow afternoon in the hot sun at RBC Ottawa Bluesfest. Here’s a new one from the Philly producer, and it’s pure New Orleans Bounce. Started in New Orleans (durr…) ‘Bounce’ features lots of call-and-response,...
Something pretty cool landed in the inboxes of PeteHatesMusic this week from the offices of Mr. Toddla T – DJ, Producer, and purveyor of all things bass-heavy. Part of a remix/shoe-selling project called #ORIGINALSREMIXED; this is Toddla T’s re-work of Trojan...
Yes – their name does sound a bit like a tattoo parlour. And YES, this IS quite good! Infinity Ink are a collective of 2 dudes from London – Ali Love and Luca C. They have been releasing music as...
We stumbled across this a few weeks ago, and have been waiting for a non-radio-rip version to appear somewhere (anywhere!) ever since… …but screw it! This is way to good to not share for you (hopefully) sunny summer weekend. Meet...
Not the first time Boy 8 Bit has been featured on Weekend Music – and for good reason. He released this new track last Friday – which features the trademark Boy 8-bit shuffle, and a fat-as-hell bassline. Awesome! Crank this...
The Reflex is a production outfit from London that is so good, it’s not fair. It has taken the “remix” to the next level – remixing bona fide classics using only sounds from the studio recording tapes. They’ve done stuff...
Weekend music from Oxford’s T-E-E-D. Although T-E-E-D has been releasing music for a few years now – this one is from an upcoming full-length album (!) that is to be released in a few weeks. As is always the case...
Mensah represents all that is good and pure about Weekend Music. Here’s why: 1. It’s new. I couldn’t find it online beyond this YouTube-d radio rip, and there is very little info about it’s creator, Mensah (his name is Mensah...
Ladies and gentlemen – meet Moombah. The quick backstory: This is an entirely new (and entirely exciting) subgenre of dance music. Basically, a DJ in Washington DC (where a bunch of other zany subgenres of music originated) started slowing down...
Quakers are a 35-person hip hop collective – spearheaded by Portishead’s Geoff Barrow (under the name Fuzzface), 7-Stu-7 (ever seen Exit Through the Gift Shop?) and Katalyst. Beyond these 3 talents laying down the beats, the group features an impressive...
The passing of The Beastie Boys’ MCA means many things to many people. The Beastie Boys are a deep group: a punk band that helped break hip hop; a party band that fought for freedom in Tibet; a soulful group...
San Francisco’s Justin Martin straddles a few genres of dance music with this track – and that’s exactly why it’s awesome. Soft, dreamy synths, big club build-ups, and a giant fat wobble bassline. It’s got everything! This one must be...
