Meet: DIIV (Coachella 2013 Artist)

DIIV (formerly known as Dive) feel like a throwback to the indie scene of the 90's and it is even somewhat reminiscent of The Cure at times. They have one album out, Oshin which you can listen to in its entirety below.

I've compiled some of their videos and songs for you to get to know them better. 

DIIV play Coachella on Sunday April 14 & 21

Frikstailers bio from the ZZK website:

Essentially, the music of the Frikstailers is all energy. 220 volts of pure dance energy. Both smart and shockingly fun, it is a project manned by the multi-rhythmic and sampling madmen Rafa Caivano (aka Ralf aka DJ Rafa Caivano) and Lisandro Sona (aka Sandro Lee, aka DJ Sandro de America).

This duo strives to make music without geographic or genre limitations. In their multilayered compositions they blend elements and icons from the collective pop unconsciousness, who are then dismembered into mutant sounds, which all morph into something totally different and new.All this mutating and splicing achieve a whole other aesthetic that is completely different than the original track.

The finished product is multifaceted and can change at the drop of a hat, combining dancehall, hip hop, baile funk, cumbia, dub, house, kuduro, electro and techno. Sometimes it is crazy and bizarre, borderline schizophrenic, yet they still retain the intelligence and craft of a beautifully produced electronic song.

New Music: El Guincho streams new material

It has been over 2 years since El Guincho released "Pop Negro" an album that garnered him worldwide & critical recognition. Today El Guincho is streaming new music on his website. 

It is a 25 minute mix called Trances that is a collection of what he's been working on since then. 

It sounds very promising.  I look forward to hearing the new material as a whole album.

Enjoy it here:
