Wasn't sure if I was going to do one of these this year, but had enough people request it to convince me :) I'll post this with the tracklist over on GvsB in the next day or so, but I thought I'd post it up a little early here for yall. Dark summer vibes for 2020. Hope everyone is doing okay, thanks for your continued support, it means the world...

If you're checking the blog these days, then you already know one of the few things we're genuinely psyched about in summer 2020 is the amazing new Jessy Lanza album All The Time, 2020-07-23 13:17:22 +0000 UTC View Post
The absurdly prolific Nico Jaar has been on a tear this year, most recently dropping his 3rd full-length of 2020, Telas, just this past week. His catalog can feel impenetrable to the uninitiated -- the new record, while very sick, is probably ...

Today's mix is an intro to one of my favorite artists in the history of the blog: Noah Lennox of Animal Collective, aka Panda Bear. I feel like outside of Person Pitch -- which is widely considered a masterpiece -- Panda Bear's solo material is weirdly underrated for some reason, ...

With the release of his remix for The Weeknd overnight, today seems like a good day to celebrate the genius of prolific producer/composer Daniel Lopatin. Best known for his work as Oneohtrix Point...

To get yall psyched for their new album I Feel Alive, dropping 2 weeks from today, today's mini-mix features some of the best jams from one of my favorite bands in the world, Montreal's TOPS. Taken a listen below, and if you're considering picking up their new album on vinyl, 2020-03-20 17:47:31 +0000 UTC View Post
Today's mini-mix is a selection of essentials from enigmatic South London producer Burial. I tried not to lean too heavily on his recent Tunes 2011-2019 release (all of which is incredible and highly recommended), so as to offer a broader look at how he's evolved since his self-titled 2006 debut.
Here's today's second mini-mix, from legendary Detroit producer J Dilla. Again, it's probably futile to attempt to sum up his contribution to music in a single 50 minute mix, but with some choice Donuts highlights, one from his group Slum Village, his legendary productions for Erykah...

I've got two new mini-mixes for yall today, and while I definitely won't be able to keep up the 2x a day pace, these next two artists have meant everything to me at various points of my life, and I've been listening to them a lot these days while hunkering down at home. It's impossible to provide a definitive and concise introduction to th...

Presenting an exclusive new mix series for Patreon! In the coming weeks/months, I'll be posting these little mini-mixes featuring highlights from my favorite artists' discographies. Not exactly a "best of" in the traditional sense, but if you're unfamiliar with (or could never really get into) an artist, consider these playlists a good introduct...

Here’s a massive rap playlist featuring some of my all-time favorites, inspired by this twitter thread over the weekend that prompted a bunch of people to list their top 10 rap albums. Our list got some solid feedback, most it positive, some of...

I refrain from doing a "most anticipated albums" post at the beginning of each year, mainly because the albums I generally end up being most psyched about are the ones we don't even know about yet. But, there are a ton of newer artists I can't wait to hear new material from in 2020; I'll keep a running playlist (exclusively for yall, of...

Are we tired of lists yet? As this decade comes to a close, everyone (including us) is posting up their favorite albums of the 2010s, but we thought it would be fun to see where those albums ranked in context with our favorites f...

Hey everyone! Just in case you missed it, I posted up my 50 favorite albums of 2019 over on the blog this week here. The most common question every year around list time is “what about _____?”, and I actually thought about going 100 deep thi...
