The Rover (dir. by David Michôd)

Last night I saw "The Rover" at Laemmle's Music Hall in Beverly Hills.  It was flameski.  Being a terrific fan of David Michôd's "Animal Kingdom", I was eager to see literally anything he might put out.  Guy Pearce is a legend... lets not fart about it, but my favorite film sees him in a 19th century placed, Australian, Noir, 'western' entitled "The Proposition".  There are immediate similarities one might draw between these films with him as leading man:  Criminal fraternity existentially endangered at gun point... men with nothing to lose... the hot dusty outback as a backdrop... and yet, Michôd's "Rover" takes place in the future.  A world (almost) laughingly washed in nihilistic absurdity until (for a few) the film's final scene.  The Mad Max apocalypse thing has been done.  And while on paper this may be diced as a narrative about revenge... it is a character driven relationship piece that finds its own way.  "The Rover" is a career redefining film for "Twilight" mega hunk, Robert Pattinson.  Half witted, bloody, and profoundly innocent he is the film's beating heart among a cast of characters so cold, desperate and noir it makes you cringe.  Scoot McNairy plays a moving performance as Pattinson's brother.  The sound design/score in the film is incredible too.  The score for the film was composed by Antony Partos and performed by sound designer Sam Petty. (They both also masterminded the sounds for Michôd's "Animal Kingdom.")  I've got the score for stream below...

geoff tallman - Night Of The Sentinels II

This is the dopest track I heard last week. It had me in a new spot. So Geoff Tallman is with Fauve Collective... a collective of artists (mostly producers).  I know... I wanted to hear more too:

Oh and there IS a Night Of The Sentinels 1:

That's a nas sample on there... the track is Purple. And dope art for all of these tracks... fuck.

MARZxLEON - L O N E R

Damn so I reposted this upon hearing it a few days ago and now it has like 30,000 plays. Not especially a plug... but a banger. enjoy. MARZ LÉON appears to be a ridiculously attractive American lady.  I followed her on insta.

L W N M W H R (lawnmowher) - stale box pizza

Always pleased to hear from the god L W N M W H R.  His shit always feels like a wild rainforest garden decorated with wind-chimes by eskimo nymphs in bikinis crying tears of milkshake.

He also just dropped this ice cold blood bath of a banger:

Yea... dude's a problem.

x‿x - pray 4 me lately

For you grimey little demons:

LA Producer.  If you wana speak it outloud he goes by "babydeth". He was fuckin wit me before I was fuckin wit him I guess.  Clean.  He need to not make boring basic dark trap tho. You can do it a lil. but do more... plz.

Anjelihs - Youniverse

Anjelihs is a clean R&B kind of foo on his miguel, weeknd sound.  He produces for hisself.  All three of his tracks on soundcloud are clean tho. His first track beneath the grapevine has 40,000+ listens... so I am boggled that today this track has been out for four days and doesnt have 1500.  My fav by him is also slept on:

Chet Faker - 1998 (NTEIBINT Remix)

This lil disco rmx. That low synth clean tho. NTEIBINT AKA George Bakalakos is from Athens, Greece... On Eskimo Recordings.  This is his most recent disco banger:

Ludacris - Party Girls (Nanpa NOIR Remix) w/ KR$CHN & BeatsByCMyles

Coo lil remix of this Jeremih, Ludacris joint. Been a big fan of Chicago resident, KR$CHN since his Blue States - Your Girl Remix.  This new one stays on it's pop shit... but a huge upgrade from the original. I'm relatively unimpressed by the other tracks by Nanpa Noir... and while his soundcloud insists that we "PLAYITLOUDER"... I'm not sure that keeps his shit from being basic.  I dont even talk shit. What am i doing... but yea. BeatsByCMyles is also coming v basic. Damn, I'm a hater. Should I delete this post?

Bastien₲ѺѦ₮ x Salon & Cough - 5dolla

This is off a RARE NNUDES compilation. Peep it HERE.

Lapalux - STNR

Always the loosest. Lapalux is one my fav artists.

black thread - like shining blood

This track isn't on the SF producer's soundcloud for some reason, but it's fantastic. Loops. Here's summore:

_______V - ASHANTI EDIT (CLIP)

I got bangers. Homie has the weirdest instagram. This dropped 2 days ago and is on some trip:

this one too:

SELA. - t ~614 (mix)

Lots of footwork goin on here.  But definitely the same repetitive, meditative SELA.

spooky black x bobby raps - alone

produced by bobby raps

Kynes - Deadbeat Tape

Some more heat from RARE NNUDES label.

Orrin Campbell and UV boi فوق بنفسجي - Lovemebaby ☹

Alak - I Pop Love

Saint Jaboi - LA KEEP A YOUNGIN DEPRESSED

TCF - 486669f0e9b8990384108f3d54c6a8f036adeb8bc7108f3d54c6a8f036adeb

Iman Omari - HotBoys[Flip]

Despite being a fantastic DJ, producer, singer and songwriter, Iman Omari's flips may be his strongest forte.

DROPXLIFE - AEXTHR

DROPXLIFE... XO affiliate outta Toronto who masterminded The Weeknd's - Initiation... continues to drop quality produced gems.  In the vein of his friend Illangelo (also a producer for the weeknd) and fellow Canadian producer Black Atlass, DROP's beats hit hard but with a clipping crunch that pleasantly stings the ear when the volume is cranked.  DROP first grabbed our attention with a track called rollxplae in 2011, when the Weeknd's buzz was biggest and any known affiliate was meat to sink our curious teeth into.  Drop also has one of the best twitter accounts... unlike the XO figurehead.

Mack Shine & J. Byrd The Low Life - Get A Fix

Seattle veteran Mack Shine sent this my way recently and it's more strong from him, but I am most interested in his track-mate J. Byrd. Shine tells me he is Seattle Rap God Nacho Picasso's cousin and the tonal similarity is uncanny.  Produced by Kase Close.  Eager to hear if the two rappers can come like this consistently. This rap game is dying.
