You Would Too If You Had Robot Ears
How do you find will smith in the snow?
Just look out for the fresh prints!
Now seriously, Barletta's floor filling "Drop Out" is recipe for a high proof liquor fueled boombox party just in time for March Madness.

Similarly, the G6 revolution is drenching dance floors everywhere like the side of a beer bottle on a hot summer day. Potentially Electro's next potty mouth princess,The Far East Movement will have panties dropping faster than the Fresh Prince ever imagined.

Sonic Forest
Growing up in one of New Jersey's most storied ghettos, seeing corner boys pick up those tiny pink plastic baggies that rocks are sold in is routine. Without passing judgment or making any grand statements, addicts also produce really good music...music so good that even your Dad listens to it. JJ, Sweeden's latest musical obscurity, goes a couple of pills further with their single "Ecstasy" - a syrupy Lil' Wayne sample.
Special thanks to Major Blazer's Teflon Sofa for the rest of the package.

Plastic Bleach
Gorrilaz have a habit about making music that slowly creeps into your mind. Their much anticipated album "Plastic Bleach" is due to drop on March 8th, until then they'll keep teasing us with bits of songs and video trailers. I can't wait to hear how the likes of Snoop Dogg, Gruff Rhys, Lou Reed, and the Hypnotic Brass Ensemble fit into all this, but already it sounds stranger and more challenging than previous Gorillaz records. Their first single "Sylo" didn't initially blow me away but Alex Metric's edit created quite a stir. In-fact, it's time to stop reading and just lean back and enjoy.

A Beginners Guide To Hardball
Hit the ground because truth bullets are about to be shot...
The road to bringing back hip-hop is long and treacherous but these guys are riding shotgun. Always thinking outside the box, these cats are pushing the boundaries of the genre further and further with every mixtape, rhyme, and baby they conceive. The sublime beauty of this stunning little package cloaks these multi-dimensional villains and the loathsome evil of their brilliant street certified tracks.

If there's one name that has the world of alternative music frozen in slack-jawed awe right now it's surely Snow and the gang. They keep the funk at a long low boil in this title track for 'pas de personne'.
Miike Snow - Song For No One
Explore the Space
"Laugh and the world laughs with you; weep and you weep alone"
Maybe something you'd play at 10 a.m when you're exhausted on her couch sparking a cone trying to justify staying up and 'partying' just that little bit longer. Or maybe it's more fun than that, I don't know. But it's intoxicating how alive this music is.

Too fast for the ear to follow, too original for the mind to anticipate, too intricate for the memory to remember.
