It’s been a minute since Santigold blessed her fanbase with some new music, so to keep her eager leagues sated she drops her new shoe — a collaboration with Vans. Based on the new Tosha Hi silhouette, Santi blends a clean black shoe with more than a little sparkle. The limited edition Vans x Santigold […]

The latest artist out of the Mad Decent roster, the 26-year old Mumdance (better known to his mum as Jack Adams), released his highly anticipated Mum Decent EP last week. The first single, “Don’t Forget Me Now”, sees LIAS favorite and past feature Esser on the vocals, with an appropriately clever and absurd video to […]

In a video straight up designed to melt the interwebs comes Duck Sauce’s “Barbra Streisand”. You knew when you first heard about Duck Sauce that the duo involved — namely A-Trak and Armand Van Helden — would come with some dancefloor heat, and this second single (out on A-Trak’s own Fool’s Gold label) doesn’t disappoint.

We’ve covered N.A.S.A. (North America South America) here many times in the past, partly because they’ve managed to corral an almost unholy stable of collaborators to work with (“People Tree” featuring David Byrne, Chali 2Na, Z-Trip and Gift of Gab, “Whachadoin?” with M.I.A., Santogold and Spank Rock, “Spacious Thoughts” with Tom Waits and Kool Keith, […]

This time it’s a vid for “Strange Enough”, […]

I’ll admit; her taste in music has raised the occasional eyebrow on my forehead. Don’t get me wrong, the world is […]

Like we said, Major Lazer has been on a tear lately — hanging with Angelina and Jack, and posting naked pics of Rihanna (kind of a dick move, btw, Lazer). Well I guess he’s finally getting to work battling all those zombies and vampires he claims to hate. Someone videotaped his exploits and put them […]

I’ve already noted I’m pretty excited about this project, and Major Lazer’s first leak, “Hold the Line”, shows the hype may be substantiated. Santigold and Lexx lay the vocals, Diplo & Switch (and Dick Dale, of course) provide the surf guitar beats: If you got the hankering, go to their site to download instrumental and […]
