Revolution is Diplo's follow up to the meme-defining Express Yourself EP. Teaming up with an all new cast of friends including Mike Posner, RiFF RAFF, Travis Porter, Action Bronson and many more , Diplo has produced one of the most cutting edge dance EP's in recent memory. "Biggie Bounce" continues where "Express Yourself" left off, creating a new NOLA bounce anthem with Travis Porter, restating Diplo's claim to the king of twerk. Diplo aims for the clouds with "Revolution," allowing Kai's vocal delivery to soar above the stadium trap instrumental. "Crown" lets loose one of the hardest drops of Diplo's career only to have him pull it back in with Mike Posner's light hearted vocals. The EP is rounded out with "Rock Steady", an homage to old school hip hop featuring verses from Action Bronson, Mr MFN esquire and Mad Decent's own RiFF RAFF. Each track on the Revolution EP highlights a different aspect of Diplo's production style and displays why he's one of the most sought after producers in the world.

Voyager Found

We slide away;
an exercise in falling,
and a ticking clock is watching over.

What won't slide away
is the message that we're holding;
that we're looking out for one another.

In a world where musical genres have seemingly disappeared behind EDM’s obvious rise to prominence, we bring you the second installation of Yellow Claw’s Amsterdam Trap Music series. Amsterdam Trap Music Vol. 2, Yellow Claw’s new EP out on Mad Decent July 22nd, allows the Dutch trio to explore fresh audio terrain as they combine their monstrous trap bangers with influences from all around the music scene. From jammin’ with Jamaican reggae king Beenie Man in “Dancehall Solider,” to soothing our ear drums with sultry R&B/Soul singer Lil’ Eddie in “Never Dies”, to even turning up with the Brick Squad master himself Waka Flocka in “Techno,” Yellow Claw have managed to convert any non-believer into a certified trap lord.

1. Yellow Claw, Diplo & LNY TNZ - Techno (feat. Waka Flocka Flame)
2. Yellow Claw - Dancehall Soldier (feat. Beenie Man)
3. Yellow Claw - Kaolo Pt. 2

Zomboy - Nuclear (Album Version) [Thissongissick.com Exclusive Premiere]

When I was in Beijing last summer I dropped by the Microsoft research campus to talk with  Dr. Yu Zheng. He studies the air pollution in his city, and the noise pollution in mine. Using algorithms he is able to predict what kinds of noises New Yorkers are most likely to hear in their neighborhoods. His algorithms could one day help city planners curb air pollution and noise or as Christian Sandvig notes they could be used by the GPS apps on our mobile devices to keep us from walking through neighborhoods perceived to have loud people hanging around outside. 

Christian Sandvig studies algorithms which is hard to do, most companies like Facebook and Google don’t make their algorithms public. In a recent study he asked Facebook users to explain how they imagine the Edgerank algorithm works (this is the algorithm that powers Facebook’s news feed). Sandvig discovered that most of his subjects had no idea there even was an algorithm at work. When they learned the truth, it was like a moment out of the Matrix. But none of the participants remained angry for long. Six months later they mostly reported satisfaction with the algorithms that determine what the can and can’t see. Sandvig finds this problematic, because our needs and desires often don’t match with the needs and desires of the companies who build the algorithms. 

“Ada’s algorithm” is the title of James Essinger’s new book. It tells the remarkable story about Ada Lovelace the woman who wrote the first computer program (or as James puts it - Algorithm)  in 1843. He believes Ada’s insights came from her “poetical” scientific brain. Suw Charman-Anderson, the founder of Ada Lovelace day, tells us more about this remarkable woman who was known as the Enchantress of numbers.

Our series concludes with an attempt to examine the suburbanized commodified inner cityscape of New York. Author and activist Sarah Schulman tells us about the Gentrified Mind, plus we hear from one of the first Airbnbers of New York. PLUS  a sneak preview of a new rock musical everyone will soon be talking about.

Dam-Funk - We Continue

I presented two sets at the Shubbak Festival in London, this is the first of the two.

This set consists of original material for computer and oud, some never recorded or performed before, all 'performed' live. This recording is about 75% of the set – the first 10-15 minutes did not record unfortunately. The unrecorded segment consisted of a partially improvised sound piece "Sleep Commute/ The Long Journey Home of Ibn Battuta".

The tracklisting is as follows:
00:00 - Airflow/ Sketch for a Film
02:48 - Untitled (for Oud and Computer)
10:46 - Sprawl
20:03 - Untitled (Choubi)
27:40 - Circle in Maqam Rast
33:33 - Finally Awake

The set was accompanied by a video piece, "in transit selection 001_dubai/abu dhabi (for london)"

Meet Boyan, a 23-year-old producer from Sofia, who's been making quite some noise lately. The Bulgarian beatmaker grew up playing the piano and singing in a choir. In 2009 he went on to obtain a degree in sound engineering and composing music.

The idea for the track "Monday Morning" came up on a sunny Monday morning, so it seems fitting to release it on (you guessed it) a Monday Morning.
FYI this one is a follow up to Boyan's previously released "Sunday Evening", which was presented to you by our friends over at @Infinitblog. Don't hesitate to click the 'Buy' button and snatch up a free download!

01. Traveler

06. Walking Distance
07. Marie Elene

The Green Child is the long distance musical collaboration of Mikey Young and Raven Mahon, who met in 2013 when their bands, Total Control and Grass Widow played a show in Oakland, California. They started writing songs together in Australia in 2014 and the project has been on a slow burn since. Their self-titled debut album is the culmination of few years of putting ideas together internationally and periodically recording in Mikey's home studio. Some of the lyrical content and the band's name was inspired by Herbert Read's 1935 utopian, communist, sci-fi novel called The Green Child. 

With such a choice name, it’s no surprise that The Green Child draw their sound from an illusory past as much as they stalk into pastures new. Broadly retro-futuristic in scope, verdant acres of lushly evocative synthesizers and blippy drum machines underpin most of their upbeat yet decidedly uncanny songs. Raven’s calmly scenic and measured vocal flits like a will-o’-the-wisp throughout the tracks, proffering a guiding hand as she walks us through the often eerie, electronic concoctions. 

‘Traveler’ opens the album all redolent, beat-minded and labyrinthine. Twisting melody lines swirl and envelop like a sandstorm, whilst Raven coolly projects on a “solitary man” lost to “green oblivion”. Similarly, ‘Her Majesty II’ glistens with its playful yet plaintive vocal and iridescent arpeggios, whilst ‘Bertha’ slows things down with tumbling chimes and stately use of space.

The Green Child are adept at atmosphere, their songs are refined from gently unfolding ideas that never fail to realise and build to their potential. Tracks like ‘Walking Distance’ (featuring Al Montfort on saxophone) and ‘New Years Eve’ are exercises in evolved composition with ideas budding off and blossoming into truly resonant dimensions. The band’s cover of ‘Marie Elene’ (by Keith Pearson) and closing track ‘Destroyer’ are further crowning achievements, both pieces subtly handled with poise and ample melancholic grandeur. The Green Child fix their sights on the heights they want to reach within their songs and much like the project itself don’t want to rush to the finish line. When it becomes more about the unfurling journey, why not take the time to enjoy the trip and burn slower?

‘The Green Child’ is due for release on January 12th through Upset The Rhythm on 180g black vinyl, accompanied by some spirited sleeve design by James Vinciguerra.

"Express Yourself" is Diplo's first time out in the well established universe of New Orleans Bounce Music. This explosive collaboration with new generation Bounce rapper Nicky Da B, protege of Big Freedia and Katey Red, reaches across the gap between the Hip Hop origins of Bounce and the club hits he's consistently delivered in the past. Nicky Da B's musically percussive style, featuring lyricism reminiscent of the Caribbean origins of New Orleans music, finesses the beat, creating maddening textures that bring Diplo's production to a boil.  Express Yourself takes club music back below the waist, where it works best, and brings a bit of the Dirty Dirty to the polished world of electronic  dance music.
