Remember the bass filled, heavily screwed head-thumping EP we previewed of TNGHT just a few weeks back? A week before the self-titled release, duo Hudson Mohawke and Lunice put together their Mission Statement Mix which aired on BBC, but now you can listen to it in its entirety, uncensored by the British man. “This mix […]

Time for the fourth edition of our Best Of 2011 retrospective series (after ART, BOOKS & STYLE), where we look back on the LIAS Year In Music. Frankly none of these lists are easy — we can trim each down to about 20 but then cutting them down to 10 means we gotta chop some […]

British artist Damien Hirst is known to stir controversy, ever since the days of slicing up cows and sticking them in formaldehyde.

And to prepare for the show, the Traverse City producers fitted up this Mother Always mixtape just to get y’all prepped. As is their spooky, droning, music-from-the-darkest-fogs sound, Salem take tracks by […]

Pulp frontman Jarvis Cocker jumps on Discodeine‘s lead single “Synchronize” from their self-titled debut full-length album (out February 14th on D-I-R-T-Y / Pschent). Comprised of Parisian producers Pentile and Pilooski — the latter who’s best known for his massive re-edits of tracks like Frankie Valli’s “Beggin’” — Discodeine convinced the Britpop legend Jarvis to go […]
