First up with have the Brooklyn OG known as AZ coming through with his visuals for “Feel My Pain” which finds the man sitting back and spitting that cold flow that could cool off a hot head during the dog days of summer. From the East to the West, MC Eiht also keeps his G’d up Cali style crackin’ in 2020 and in his clip to “Bang On Em” shows off some low riders that may or may not be the last thing his ops see.

Whethan On New Album: “It’s Getting In a Spaceship and Leaving Earth Off This Electronic Rainbow” [Interview]
Today’s wave of young musicians is arguably more creative and incisive than ever. EDM has seen a long string of prodigal, pioneering producers, which includes the 24-year-old Martin Garrix and the duo Louis The Child, among many others. The latest in this cohort’s legacy is Ethan Snoreck, a Chicago suburb-born artist who produces under the moniker Whethan. Since cannonballing into the scene with 2016’s “Savage” featuring Flux Pavilion and MAX—which still stands as his most played song on Spotify—Snoreck has exploded in popularity, dominating listeners in and around his age group with infectiously happy, future bass-inspired originals. Standouts include “Every Step That I Take” with Portugal. The Man and “High” with Dua Lipa, which was featured on the soundtrack for cult film Fifty Sha...
Watch Thijs of Noisia Spin a Ferocious DnB Set for “Beatport ReConnect: Drum & Bass”
Earlier this month, Thijs de Vlieger of fabled Dutch electronic outfit Noisia appeared on Beatport‘s ReConnect: Drum & Bass livestream to rip a classic Noisia DJ set. Today, he took to Twitter to share the exciting news that the high-quality set has been uploaded in full. The famed Noisia trio sadly split up towards the end of 2019 and had a farewell tour planned, but it was shelved due to the impact of COVID-19. While new Noisia has been rare, fans can find solace in this hourlong set, which de Vlieger explicitly labeled as a “Noisia DJ set.” It features a slew of Noisia originals as well as many from that of their heavy-hitting drum & bass counterparts, like Alix Perez, Mefjus, and Phace, among many others. You can watch the performance in fu...

Best Coast’s Bethany Cosentino on Recording the Scoob! Theme: ‘It Was Really Surreal’
In the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, movie theaters have taken a huge but obvious hit. People can’t go to theaters (for now) and thus, have resorted to watching old movies…at least in most cases. On May 15, Scoob!, the latest live-action adaptation of the Scooby-Doo franchise landed on streamers and VOD (video-on-demand) services. The soundtrack is full of surprises as well, with contributions from country star Thomas Rhett and in-demand mixtape annihilator Rico Nasty. And one of the more fun aspects of a fun movie is that Best Coast performed a new version of the cartoon’s iconic theme song. But considering their retro-pop bona fides, it actually makes a lot of sense. We caught up with Best Coast singer-songwriter Bethany Cosentino, who explained how it all came togethe...
Design Firm Aims to Create Spacey Protective Suit for Concerts
With the concert industry months into an almost complete standstill, people are trying to figure out ways to bring people to live events again. From drive-in gigs to the infamous “social distant” Travis McCready show in Arkansas, live music organizers are rallying to figure out how to put on a safe event. And now, Production Club, a design firm in Los Angeles, is throwing its hat in the ring with a new protective suit that includes an N95 filtration system and snap-in canisters for drinking, vaping and can even charge your phone. “Micrashell is a solution for bringing people together safety,” Miguel Risueno, head of inventions for Production Club told NBC Los Angeles. “It’s a half suit that kind of takes your safety and your security in terms of being close to airborne particles or viruses...
Taylor Swift and Jack Antonoff Share Cryptic “Look What You Made Me Do” Cover for Killing Eve: Stream
The latest episode of Killing Eve contained a cryptic cover of Taylor Swift’s “Look What You Made Me Do” by previously unknown band Jack Leopards and the Dolphin Club. Via Pitchfork, a trail of clues suggest that the song actually comes from Swift and Jack Antonoff, while Swift’s brother Austin may be the vocalist. T-Swift left the first breadcrumb herself, when she tweeted about being “VERY STOKED” for the cover by Jack Leopards and the Dolphin Club. Jack Antonoff, a co-writer of the original version of “Look What You Made Me Do”, is listed in the credits as a producer, along with a certain Nils Sjöberg. Swifties will recall Sjöberg as the pseudonym Taylor used for her co-writing role on Calvin Harris and Rihanna’s “This Is What You Came For.” But what about Austin? There are tw...
A Perfect Circle’s Mer de Noms Escaped Tool’s Shadow 20 Years Ago
Outside of a few major examples — such as Dashboard Confessional, Audioslave, CSNY, Foo Fighters, Gorillaz, The Mars Volta, Cream, and Led Zeppelin — side projects, supergroups, and spin-offs are rarely as triumphant as the bands from which they originate. Of course, Californian troupe A Perfect Circle — founded by Tool vocalist Maynard James Keenan and former Tool guitar tech Billy Howerdel — must be added to that list. Over the past 20 years, and through four studio albums and numerous major tours, they’ve amassed a following that rivals those of any of the members’ outside endeavors. (Some fans even prefer APC to Tool, and for understandable reasons.) True, their subsequent records offer stronger hooks, more decorative instrumentation, and a greater emphasis on overtly political and/or ...
Whitney Team with Waxahatchee to Cover John Denver’s “Take Me Home, Country Roads”: Stream
Chicago band Whitney has released a new cover of John Denver’s “Take Me Home, Country Roads” featuring the searing guest vocals of Waxahatchee. As if that weren’t enough, Whitney has also served up a version of the R&B classic “Rain” by SWV. While these two covers come from very different sonic backgrounds, together they help demonstrate the range of Whitney’s rock and country-soul sound. Drummer/vocalist Julien Ehrlich brings “Take Me Home, Country Roads” up an octave, allowing his relaxed tenor to float above those iconic southern riffs. For Waxahatchee, aka Katie Crutchfield, this kind of melody is her bread and butter. Her voice obliterates his when they join together for the chorus. But this happens when one half of the duet has a bigger natural instrument than the other, and the ...
