This is good. Super good. In fact, it's so good that I'm going to make it today's Song of the Day.
POWERS have had us won over since way back in December of 2013. There's something about their brand of upbeat electro-pop that is cool as fuck, and th...

I knew this was going to be good as soon as I hit play, and I sure as heck wasn't disappointed.
LA-based Lostboycrow has a number of tracks under his belt, each with a good deal of success. Most of them are way more poppy than this, though.

Still, I dig this song enough to share it with y'all, and I hope you'll dig it too.
No surpri...

Following up his first two singles "Kobe" and "Girl," Yeo has now released "Secret Powers," proving once again that there's something utterly unique about the talented Melbourne producer.

In case you missed it, Transgressive Records are currently in full swing releasing a bunch of rare singles from their roster. Yesterday we covered Flume's "Possum," and today I figured -- given it's "flashback Friday" -- we'd hit up this cover by The...
