Wednesday marked what would have been the b-day of the singular Biggie Smalls, aka Notorious B.I.G.. In honor of such, past collaborator and old friend Mister Cee showed an hour of love on HOT 97 FM, NYC’s goto hip-hop station.

To prep for his upcoming Sonar Festival gig, Flux Pavilion — known to his mum as Joshua Steele (or actually, Joshua Kierkegaard G. Steele) — has created this quick, half-hour mixtape. Filled with the sort of swelling, rap-laced dubstep the English producer and Circus Records co-founder is known for, the aptly named Sonar Mix 2014 just […]

A couple months ago we compiled the Lost In A Supermarket Present State Of Sound, vol 1.: Music Medley 2014 by our girl Hissa. Now she’s back with her second mixtape, compiled and masterfully explained below. To be honest, this fell in the couch crevice of the LIAS office, so it’s not as current as it was […]

Grammy-nominated and Parisienne-bred producer DJ Snake has been on a tear recently, breaking out in 2013 with “Bird Machine”, and this year with the proper massive “Turn Down For What” with Lil Jon.
