Mild High Club’s name is a play on words akin to a joke, but make no mistake, their music is far from a joke. Mild High Club is the product of Chicago native Alexander Brettin. A student of jazz music during his time college, Alex music successfully conveys the sound of his studies with Mild […]
Kali Uchis, born Karly Loaiza, is not what you would think she is. If they were to create a hispanic Barbie with alien and retro vibes dripping in candy land colors, that would begin to encompass the persona that Kali Uchis has created. Today, she is still quite a mystery but one thing is clear: […]
“There once was a shepherd boy who was bored as he sat on the hillside watching the village sheep. To amuse himself he took a great breath and sang out, “Wolf! Wolf! The Wolf is chasing the sheep!” – The Boy Who Cried Wolf “Then the wolf showed his teeth and said, ‘Then I’ll huff […]
To keep it simple, Jon Bap’s “Yesterday’s Homily” is a modern jazz fantasia. With avant garde qualities in which the voice and instrumentation work together beautifully, the album presents itself to be something of a breath of fresh air in a territory most artists wouldn’t take the risk of treading. The artist, Jon Bap, […]
The Canadian jazz outfit BADBADNOTGOOD compromises of four college graduates who bonded over hip-hop and rap while studying and performing in the jazz program at Humber College. They released music in 2011 through Bandcamp with covers to their favorite hip-hop tracks, but it was their work on Youtube with Tyler, the Creator that put the spotlight […]
The last two years has certainly been a journey for Anderson .Paak. From being an opener for Watsky’s All You Can Do Tour, releasing his first debut studio album “Venice,” to being a key feature on Dr. Dre’s “Compton,” it’s no surprise to see .Paak has outdone himself once again on his newly released project, “Malibu.”
The Internet is back. Days before dropping their sophomore album, “Ego Death,” they have given fans of their atmospheric sound a treat: an out-of-this-world video for the song “Girl” (ft. Kaytranada), which will be featured on their upcoming album. From the looks of this video, it seems as if The Internet is not straying far […]
Expanding the way musicians interact with their fans, Donnie Trumpet & The Social Experiment have produced something that is absolutely magical and absolutely FREE (because that’s the one thing that catches ANY college student’s attention, am I right?).
IT’S HERE! “Cherry Bomb,” with a total of 13 songs, was released late Sunday night, or early Monday morning for us in Texas, and boy is it different from Tyler’s previous albums. For those of you have not heard the album, direct your ears to the Spotify playlist below as you flow through the sonically […]
If you’ve been on Twitter lately, you’ve probably seen the humorous tweets featuring Chance The Rapper such as: Have you seen the actual video from which that clip is from though? It’s featured in Action Bronson’s music video “Baby Blue,” a song from his newly released album, “Mr. Wonderful.” In the video Bronson and Chance […]
I saw The Internet, Thundercat, Cashmere Cat and Neutral Milk Hotel on day three of FFFFest. The Internet performed very early in the day. They were given a short set- just 40 minutes long- but they made the most of it. Syd the Kyd got every person standing within 30 feet of the stage to […]
Steven Bruner, an electric bassist known as Thundercat, will be performing at Fun Fun Fun Fest this year. Thundercat began to play bass professionally at a young age.

Flying Lotus has produced yet another critical and sure-to-be-popular hit with his newest album, You’re Dead! The album begins by showcasing collaborating bassist Thundercat’s skills in the first five tracks, up to “Never Catch Me” feat. Kendrick Lamar. Those tracks help establish the musical tone of the album: fusion jazz first, and dreamy hip-hop second. […]
Squarepusher, the stage name of electronic music composer Tom Jenkinson, made an awesome album in 1998 called Music is Rotted One Note. The album’s songs, both technically complex and experimental (a hallmark of Squarepusher’s signature sound), are all composed by Tom Jenkinson. Jenkinson really is a one-man show on his recordings as he also plays all the […]
https://soundcloud.com/iamjaylotus/jaylotus-the-love-movement Jay Lotus is self described as a “saxophonist turned producer,” and it definitely shows. His albums, all instrumental, expertly wrap hip-hop beats over a groove-laden core. Other tracks capture the improvisational nature of jazz while mixing the skilled hands of a producer at a drum machine. If you’re looking for the perfect study music, […]
