The Chuckness

So yeah, this happened yesterday. On Monday 28th November Nokia Lumia 800 with Windows phonehttp://nokia.ly/uBVXxw brought deadmau5 and the world’s most advanced 4D technology together and created an amazing free light show at Millbank Tower, London. Millbank was plunged into darkness with the iconic tower acting as the canvas for a never-before-seen spectacular. Each of the 120 metre high building’s 800 windows were covered with vinyl as 16 powerful projectors, stationed 300 metres away on the other side of the river, beamed 3D images onto the structure. Huge butterflies flew across the London skyline and the tower was twisted, pulsated and … Continue reading →

NPR gets everything! Growing up, I always thought that the station was meant strictly for senile, boring, cardboard-esque old men. Nowadays they’re premiering exclusive album streams of heavily hyped projects (a la Childish Gambino’s Camp). I dig the new branding effort. Anyways, hit The Roots’ new album undun in it’s entirety via this link, and let me know how it is. NPR for the win. Tweet

Love me some behind the scenes footage. If it’s not already sold out in your city, you’re gonna want to jump on tickets as they wrap up their US tour. Tweet

A huge, huge congratulations to the crew over at All Things Go for the announcement of ATG Records today. They’ve been a primo place to go for music of all genres for a bit now, and it’s always refreshing to see fellow music bloggers expanding and moving on to bigger and better things. Their inaugural release comes in the form of Nicky Blitz’s “Alive”, and it’d be tough to pick a better track to open with. The production and vocals (all handled by Mr. Blitz) bring back childhood memories of Saturday soccer and dominating orange slices at halftime. I don’t … Continue reading →

I gotta take a seat for this one. Bon Iver’s music itself sends you to another world, but the addition of trippy visuals makes this an out of body experience. It’s like a visualizer that’s perfectly crafted to fit his music. Just hit the “next track” icon in the menu bar of the YouTube video above to cycle through the songs/videos. Stoners everywhere rejoice. Tweet

I’m pretty over B.o.B. as a rapper. Not because he “sold out” — he deserves all of his success. I’m just a little sick of hearing his voice all over the place. He’s a ridiculously talented artist, that’s no question. Regardless of how I feel about him, I still think this project is worth checking out. The features are out of control with the likes of Eminem, Mos Def, T.I., Big K.R.I.T. and Bun B. I’m gonna give it a chance tonight, we’ll see what happens. Stream/download the mixtape below and let me know what you think. Am I being … Continue reading →

Before you all flip out and tell me that this track was released back in June, take a breather. Breakbot came onto my scene when Mr. Francois, a previous writer of ours, did a little post on what the French DJ brings to the scene. Pretty much instantaneously, I was hooked on “Baby I’m Yours”, and we went from there. Anyways, over the summer he released a mini EP devoted to this track “Fantasy” — included with three souped-up remixes. It’s got a roller-disco/1970′s feel to it that quickly takes over the soul.

iSH is an up and coming recording artist hailing from Drake’s land of Toronto, and he’s been in touch for a bit now regarding his new material. Today we got our hands on his most recent track, which is the first listen we’ve had from his mixtape “Long Days, Short Nights”. He goes in on the Xaphoon Jones remix of Savoir Adore’s “Dreamers”, and the result is glorious. Check it out below. [Audio clip: view full post to listen] Download: iSH – Dreamers Tweet

The visuals for Bon Iver’s “Holocene” are more or less impossible to beat. Straight Icelandic beauty all over the place. This one’s not nearly as cool — but sunsets still work in my book. [via TIME] Tweet
