Now Playing: M83 ft. HAIM – “Holes In The Sky”

4 Mar

Released earlier this week and to be featured as part of the Insurgent soundtrack comes a new one from M83 featuring HAIM. The sisters have been everywhere as of late and M83 returns after tracking “I Need You” on the Divergent soundtrack last year.

Now Playing: Diplo x DJ Snake x MØ – “Lean On”

3 Mar

Diplo has been on a tear lately – release after release. Since being released yesterday I have had this on repeat, mostly thanks to MØ. Frankly after hearing “”Don’t Wanna Dance” for the first time last year, I was hooked on and I believe she’s going to be a star. Featuring on a track with Diplo and DJ Snake doesn’t hurt too much either! If you haven’t yet listened, click play below.

Mumford & Sons – Gentlemen of the Road Stopover Returns

2 Mar

Fresh off the news that Mumford & Sons’ new album, Wilder Mind, is due out May 4, the fellas have even more exciting news to share!  One of my favorite “tours” in recent years has been Mumford & Sons’ Gentlemen of the Road Stopovers and it’s back! Not only is it back but just look at these lineups, stacked with a ridiculous amount of great artists. Plus stoked to see Blake Mills on here. He’s in the spotlight right now for producing the Alabama Shakes sophomore effort and has a storied music career already but give a listen to his solo stuff, I think you’ll dig it.
