The Underachievers

So a while back we dropped Gold Soul Theory and after one play you could tell these guys were going to get big.  More recently, the Underachievers have teamed up with Brainfeeder to produce Indigoism.  Check out what Brainfeeder had to say about it: 

"‘Indigoism’ marks the first Brainfeeder/Underachievers collaboration. Dropping February 1st, the 17-track mixtape features the duo’s underground hits (including ‘Gold Soul Theory,’ ‘Herb Shuttles’ and ‘Leopard Shepherd’), in addition to brand new tracks produced by the likes of Mr Bristol, Rich Flyer, The Entreproducers, Bruce Lee Kixxs, Juice and Lou Chapo from Tribe Gang, and Dreamrite. Listening to their sage lyrics, it’s hard to believe they’re only 21 (Ak) and 22 (Issa Dash) years old. And on the strength of ‘Indigoism,’ it’s near impossible to believe that up until 9 months ago, Ak and Dash had no set intention to be in the rap game at all. As they say themselves: “Indigos on the rise.”"

The Mahdi is one of my personal favorites and we've got the video ready to go after the jump.  Also! be sure to grab your free copy of Indigoism (link below the video).

Cy Dune

I decided that I've been listening to a little too much ethereal, clouds-are-my-inspiration sounding songs so fuck it.  Let's go XXXL today burn this bitch down.  **note this track sounds like shit unless you put it at 480p

Where The Wild Things

Ahhh well that was nice.

The Radio Dept.

Heaven's on Fire (acoustic)

When you listen to this version of the song it hits you at a more personal level. Both the original and acoustic versions are extraordinary but for now I'll let you listen to the acoustics. A talented band sharing their musical insight to the world.

Poolside

Ladies and gentlemen! I present to you, Poolside. Yes, you heard right, Poolside! Who are they you say? That is for me to know and you to find out, but believe me when I say that this bands debut album Pacific Standard Time is one that you will not want to miss out on. This band will be playing at UC Santa Barbara's The Hub this Thursday night and it will definitely be one for the record books as this electric-duo drop synthesized funk that will have the whole venue dancing. Believe me when I say, I am incredibly stoked for this band.They are making a lot of noise, to the point where Los Angeles Times wrote “the best song anyone played was a Neil Young cover” (by Poolside) at this past summer's HARD event in Chinatown. Even someone as big as LCD Soundsystem gave an approval of the band as "James Murphy, the LCD Soundsystem frontman and an inspired crate-digger of rare disco cuts, was a few tunes into his late-night DJ set when he quietly slipped in an edit of the folk rocker's 'Harvest Moon'"

You will listen to this album, and enjoy every song on it. When you do, you will realize that it will be a treasure for the future and one that you are going to want to hold in your hands for years to come.
With that said, enjoy Poolside.
