I’m not familiar with Dan Matic, but dude hit me up on SoundCloud asking if I’d listen to his stuff. I went to go listen to an EP, titled “Ampex Frequency” (dropped September 10th), that he has with another beatmaker named BMOODY. Together they make up MOODYMATIC. The description says that they make “hot-heavy-future-classic-headnodic-space beats“, and I couldn’t agree more. Check/listen to the whole album below…

It’s a sad day in hip hop. Earlier today I went to go get groceries for the week and picked up “Zombieland” from FYE. Normal, chill Sunday. I got home, sat on the couch, and hit up Twitter on my phone. I began scrolling down my timeline only to see about 7 “RIP Eyedea” tweets. Whaaaaaaaaaat? No way. I was in disbelief at first because, well, it’s Twitter. Can’t believe that kinda shit on there right away. A little more time passed and I still kept seeing more of those tweets. And what hit the hammer on the nail was when I saw that Eyedea’s mom confirmed the tragic news.

Crystal Fighters formed after Laure came across a diary that was kept by her deceased grandfather in the Basque countryside. Inside the diary was an unfinished opera written in her his final months of insanity. Laure became captivated by the contents, so she formed a band to honor and expand on the crazy writings of her grandfather. She returned to London and recruited friends Gilbert, Sebastian, Graham, and Mimi.

They describe themselves as making “fast dance music with Basque instruments, synthesizers and our voices.” Crystal Fighters‘ first album dropped in September, and it’s called “Star of Love“.

After the jump, check out their new trippy video of “Swallow”. It was directed by Tobias Stretch, and it shows a woman who seems to be getting rid of life’s problems by drinking.
