G-Eazy New Video:

One of our favorite Loyno artists just released a retro video to accompany a catchy track from his Endless Summer Mixtape.

Check out the rest of the Endless Summer Mixtape on Eazy's Website. He sampled lots of doo-woop and 50's pop tunes, added some drums and polished it all off with his signature laid back delivery.

Keepin' it classy.

Big History: New Single

New Orleans 6 piece indie-electronica band Big History has been playing One Eyed Jack's and the Republic for a little bit now... and anyone who claims to be into the local music scene has seen these guys live a few times at least. But they just recently released their first major single "War Drum" that has the blogosphere buzzing with excitement.

"War Drum" is a pounding electronic journey through synths and violins with Meg Roussel's warm vocals leading the way. With some help from British electro-pop artist/producer Japayork, Big History's production really let the sparks fly on this track. They are moving further in the dance direction and we're loving it...

Also, for more info about the band and an exclusive interview check the local spotlight page over at Art Official then find em on Facebook

OH, and also you'll want to take a look at Voiceless Artists ...a spanking new management company that already houses some real talent in art and music and is sure to search out more.

RIYL  Beach House, Best Coast, The XX, Crystal Castles....that kinda thing, enjoy.

Christoph Andersson: New Album on the Way

New Orleans isn't the first place anyone thinks of when you mention electronic music. But Christoph Andersson's monthly Electronic TKVR parties that he hosts with other local acts Swiss Chriss and G-Eazy have grown to  500+ ragers in little over a year. He likes being the black sheep in NOLA where electronic is a less popular genre. He told Filter Magazine "Not being around other electronic musicians or a huge scene has benefitted me. I don't think I'd do very well in a place like New York or L.A.... I doubt I'm even cool enough."

Oh you're cool enough, mister. Andersson, despite being new to the scene, has already shared the stage with Hot Chip and Crookers at Voodoo Fest and started his own record label, Hurst Recordings (named after the Nola street where he grew up) and, over the past year,  released an EP and various catchy beat-driven pop tracks. His refreshing sound has caught the attention of other artists and bloggers with its bridge between airy pop and dance. He told LSU magazine that his main goal going into every track is to "blend really catchy pop music...with really contemporary electronic technique".

G-Eazy and Curren$y Ensemble

Our Loyola New Orleans homeboy G- Eazy is touring with Curren$y this coming week in the FLA. These are going to be great great shows.

Eazy just returned from a lil tour on the East Coast where he I'm sure he rocked much of the set with tracks from his newest product The Outsider. Chock full o rad tracks like Netflix and Kings. Like he says, this dude's "part Johnny Cash, part Lennon and Part Drake..."

Curren$y is busy promoting the new mixtape Weekend At Burnie's that'll drop on June 28th. Which made Complex's 20 Most Anticipated Album's of the Summer List.  He just released a new track called "I Dont Want A Man" but personally I prefer #JetsGo. Check it Out.

Jay Electronica Signs

Jay Electronica is a vagabond underground rapper originally from New Orleans who recently signed with Jay-Z's Roc Nation record label (which I suppose must mean he's come out from the underground).

He's been garnering all sorts of praise from Nas, Diddy, Jay Z and other greats for a long while... so perhaps now he'll be hitting it big. Let's hope the fame doesn't spoil him...HA!

At the signing party Jay Electro was quoted as saying "My goal is to reintroduce magic to hip-hop" Amen Sir!

First one's just a favorite of mine...second is a feel good anthem that's rare from rappers these days

The Snarkiest Sh*#t

Snarky Puppy is a band that claims Brooklyn as its hometown, but is comprised of sidemen from Snoop Dogg, Chaka Khan, Erykah Badu, Marcus Miller, etc. So you'd expect something funky. But it's more than that...

I caught Snarky Puppy at the Blue Nile on Frenchman St. a couple of weeks ago and was awash with amazement (Just like I expected to be). The 9 piece band was the tightest thing to hit the Blue Nile stage in a long while. Local drummer Jason Marsalis joined in on a few choice tunes and they also brought up Matt Perrine to work his Sousaphone Magic. They played songs mostly from their latest album Tell Your Friends, but also dropped some new joints and a few oldies.


They call it "Music for Your Brain and Booty" I like to call it Intelli-funk. Whatever you call it...hit play  and enjoy

Young Nola Rappers: E.C.M.E.

These guys just flew under my radar thanks to a tip-off from a fellow WTUL Dj and they've been on constant rotation since.

E.M.C.E  (Eclectic Collective of Microphone Executioners) hail from cities all over the U.S. and put out their own brand of hip-hop with sick flow layered over innovative beats. Rappers include Concept, theadamstewart, Tha Royal Bandit, Druzzi, and Conscience. They are gaining rapid exposure through live shows, online promotion and word o mouth.


Like their Facebook page and take a listen... these guys are headed straight to the top
