The album also includes a stealthy production credit for Marshmello. The masked hitmaker has kept his foot on the gas after the release of his recent album Shockwave, lending his smooth production stylings to 24kGoldn’s “Control The World” featuring Lil Wayne. Mello keeps it clean with a punchy hip-hop production that keeps melody to a minimum. Backed by the simple strum of an acoustic guitar, the track positions the quick-witted verses of ...

Space Jam: A New Legacy Introduces the Goon Squad Team in New Trailer: Watch
Space Jam: A New Legacy just got a new trailer and it’s pitting the legendary Tune Squad against the villainous Goon Squad for the highly anticipated sequel. This time around, we get a closer look at LeBron James as a cartoon character, the all-star cast of Warner Bros. characters crossing into this universe, and the plot that’s previously been obscured. Watch the trailer below. The sequel to the 1996 smash hit centers around James’ relationship with his son Dom and his struggle to understand why he prefers creating games to playing games. When his son is pulled into a virtual server controlled by an A.I. villain named Al-G Rhythm (Don Cheadle), James links up with the Toon Squad — Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Roadrunner, and the rest of the Looney Tunes gang — to defeat the Cheadle-...
Technotronic’s Iconic “Pump Up The Jam” Gets Official 2021 Remix From Hugo Cantarra
There’s nothing like a little bit of house music to chase away the Monday blues, and French producer Hugo Cantarra has got you covered with his newly minted remix of Technotronic’s “Pump Up The Jam.” Released May 21st via Universal Music Belgium, Cantarra’s deep house rework of the 1989 hip-house hit comes in both edited and extended cuts. With its instantly recognizable beat motifs and iconic lyrics, “Pump Up The Jam” is a tricky challenge when it comes to reshaping its stems into something new. For Cantarra, this meant producing a thick layer of bass along with chugging synths. This combination builds intensity into the remix’s compelling house drop, arranged around the original track’s topline and classic percussion rhythm...

LeBron James and Bugs Bunny Team Up in First Trailer for Space Jam: A New Legacy: Watch
After a whole lot of teasing and an even longer wait time, Space Jam: A New Legacy finally has a trailer. LeBron James, Bugs Bunny, and the Looney Tunes crew show off their basketball skills in the clip and set the bar high for the anticipated sequel in the process. Watch it below. James will follow in the footsteps of Michael Jordan once again, and this time it’s not just because of his basketball accolades. James is a genuinely good actor — as proven in Trainwreck, his debut role in a movie — and should nail his role playing himself in the sequel to the 1996 smash hit alongside a fictional family: a younger son named Dom (Cedric Joe), an older son named Darius (Ceyair Wright), his daughter Xosha (Harper Leigh Alexander), and his wife Kamiyah (Sonequa Martin-Green). The sequel’s plot revo...

What’s Coming to Amazon Prime Video in June 2020
Amazon Prime Video can get confusing. Like its global namesake, the streaming service is a digital jungle of titles. That’s why each month Consequence of Sound puts together a full list of new TV and film titles being dropped into the thick of it. June 2020 is kind of meh. There aren’t many new titles, per se, though there are a number of sleazy and sticky popcorn classics. You know, like Hard Rain, or Double Jeopardy, or 2 Days in the Valley. All great trash to consume. What’s more, those who miss Jordan following The Last Dance can check out Space Jam. Saturday Night Fever is worth a boogie. And there’s also not one, not two, but seven goddamn Leprechaun movies to binge. Check out the entire list below and start stocking up on some snacks. To help round out your streaming sessions, be su...

It’s been over 20 years since Michael Jordan won his final championship. A Basketball Hall-of-Famer, six-time MVP, and the leader of two three-peats, Jordan remains a larger than life figure from the way he soared to his superstar status. To imagine a world in which the icon never existed is to wonder what would have happened if Bugs Bunny finally did take that left to Albuquerque. With the airing of ESPN’s 10-part docuseries The Last Dance—which recounts the Chicago Bulls’ final title run with MJ—fans have been reminded of the basketball-great’s importance and brilliance on the court. However, another enthralling component to the weekly event is his Airness’ significance as a global icon off-the-court Need proof? Log onto Twitter while The Last Dance is airing. The only trending topics on...
