BadBadNotGood: That Grey Area Between Tyler and Jazz Music

Odd Future fans would have heard of instrumental band BadBadNotGood before, and for a lot of listeners that’s probably the 1 degree of separation in which they were led to the band. Can’t fault them really, these guys have been covering those rap delinquents (mainly Tyler, the Creator) on videos for a while now — […]

Azealia Banks: F*cking Up our Fun with More Fun

Diplo (he’s worked with M.I.A) recently produced Azealia Bank’s (formerly known as Miss Bank$)  new track ‘F*ck Up The Fun’. Does this track have interesting lyrics like its one-of-a-kind title?

Even the video seems to have magic relaxing properties that make you want to lean back in your chair and imagine the warm breeze in your face. Great for lazy […]

Lana Del Rey: Manufactured Risque

America’s answer to the crushable indie songstress (move over Florence and Lykke Li) Lana Del Rey, has critics divided over the authenticity or ‘alternative cred’ of her debut; is it true that she has had lip injections? That she was formerly known as Lizzy Grant? That she has a rich daddy but decidedly set up […]

Oceans: Endless Waves

There must be something about the little island down south of our borders, they’re having an electronic renaissance as of late while we are still bro-ing off. JUICE first heard of Oceans when he dropped a beat prior to Samiyam’s set at Home Club, Singapore, as part of Syndicate SG’s Beat Invitational and immediately took […]
