A fine collaboration between ZHU and Goldlink. The two mystery men unite on this beautifully swanky sequel to ZHU‘s Paradise Awaits. On Part 2 Goldlink‘s immaculate flow is topped off by ZHU‘s mesmerizing falsetto. And there’s homage rendered to Sisqo’s Thong Song (which arguably is one of the greatest songs of all time).
Diplo welcomes indie luminaries Ed Droste (Grizzly Bear) and Rostam Batmanglij (Vampire Weekend) on this smooth joint called Long Way Home. It’s the perfect tune to leisurely float into the weekend.
These Canadians surely know how to import the spaciest sounds straight from the future and let them clash with good old down-to-earth bass. Check out this new beast by Fool’s Gold’s High Klassified: Biesta. This thing wobbles so goddamn hard, it almost swept us off our feet.
Listen to how easily Trippy Turtle takes the rigor out of O.T. Genasis‘ Coco or the corniness out of Drake‘s Hold On Were Going Home on his brand new joint, Fo Fo.
Kaytranada boasted quite an affluent output this year. In fact, the only way to not have heard of the Montreal based producer in 2014 was, if you were floating around space, where the vacuum would have prevented sound waves from traveling. Check out this mellow remix of T.I.‘s and Young Thug‘s About Da $.
Wanna go brainless and not feel bad about it? Here’s your anthem for the week: Donkong‘s Jawz with hilarious but somewhat unsettling visuals by German director Mike Linde.
There is a certain kind of tunes that will inevitably make you shake one or several body parts. You’ll sit in front of you desk unsuspectingly and suddenly realize that you’re tapping your feet and making a happy face. Madeon‘s You’re On feat. Kyan belongs into this category.
Good day to our treasured Crispy Crust fellowship. It’s time for presents and we ain’t talking Santa Clause. ESKEI83 has compiled his five favorite free downloads for your sexy asses. So sit back and enjoy the start of the week with a couple of Crispy Crust approved delicacies.
Crispy Crust‘s own Drunken Masters and ESKEI83 went on tour with legendary A-Trak for a couple of gigs in Germany. For all you poor souls who couldn’t be there, cheer up. Here’s some video footage of their show at Showboxx Dresden on November 21st, where they were joined by DJane Yo-C. Watch out, all you young boys out there, you might learn a thing or two. For example how to immaculately shave it.
So streaming is the future? Yes, it is. It just isn’t for the average artist. We’re talking about the talented artists out there that have an actual fan base. The ones who have created a demand for their music that needs to be satisfied. It is those artists, who won’t be able to survive solely off streaming. It just won’t happen. It could, but it depends on so many factors coming into play, you might as well wait for a major label exec to just give you a share of his income to compensate you for the shitty deals that have been negotiated on behalf of artists and songwriters in the digital age.
