“The whole thing that got me here was controversy,” admits Hopsin. In 2010, the Panorama City, California native’s back was against the wall. He was unhappily signed to Eazy-E’s former label with a debut ('Gazing at the Moonlight') failing to meet his artistic and commercial expectations after years of acting on a major network and a feature film. Hardly a “kiddie rapper,” the emcee took to the Internet and released, “Sag My Pants,” an instant rewind. “I lashed out against Ruthless Records. I knew that would have some shock value. But at the time, I had to do whatever I could do.” Hopsin’s survival mechanisms have guided him through life. As a youth placed in special education classes, Hop overcame the obstacles to become a video editor, music producer in addition to rapper. He is also co-founder of the low profile indie-powerhouse Funk Volume, currently with 600,000 Youtube subscribers and 1.2 Million Facebook Likes. This 2012 XXL Freshman is at the top of his class.
In the three years since 'Raw', Hopsin has steadily supplied his thousands of album-buying fans with free music, notably his “Ill Mind of Hopsin” series. The artist is still fearless in maintaining the spirit of lunchroom battles with SwizZz years ago; “I don’t care to burn a bridge if I didn’t want to cross it anyway.” In the meantime, he appeared on Tech N9ne’s video single “Am I a Psycho?” as well as a top 3 album by Insane Clown Posse, the Mighty Death Pop. “The key thing is I don’t hang around bullshit artists who convince me to make bullshit songs. I just hang in my basement with the same people I’ve always hanged with. I’m the same guy; I haven’t changed.”
With cover stories and a plethora of seven-figure Youtube content, the self-made talent is sticking to his formula on his third LP, Knock Madness. “It’s gonna be hard to top—I’m calling it right now,” he boasts, claiming it’s just “an enhancement” of his work. Moreover, he wants to punctuate his career. “this will probably be my last album for a long time.” elaborating, the recluse promises “the biggest tour I’ve ever done, and I’m leavin’ for a while” as devotes his attention to Funk Volume.
While controversy may have made Hopsin a star, skill and courage made him a fan favorite. Hopsin has the attitude and charisma that makes hip hop unpredictable again.

Bonfire Beach is thrilled to premiere "Dream In Shadows", the latest  track from the band's forthcoming LP, on Culture Collide this week. Click here to listen to the track and be sure to catch the band live on their remaining dates as they wrap up a successful Fall tour supporting The Dandy Warhols.  Bonfire Beach's Self-Titled LP is out October 14th on Cleopatra Records.

Dexy Valentine is the front women of Magic Wands & Bonfire Beach.
 Magic Wands have garnished great success in music licenses via Zynch, having songs featured on Victorias Secret, Vogue fashion Week, Gucci, Zara, T-mobile, Beauty & the Beast, Vampire Diaries & the Diablo Cody film "The Power of Few" with Christopher Walken & Christen Slater.  Magic Wands have toured & opened for  The Kills, The Horrors, The Jesus and Mary Chain, The Black Keys, The Raconteurs, The Breeders The Wombats and have made appearances at SXSW, Glastonbury & Lollapalooza. 
Presently Magic Wands are finishing up their second album tilted "Stranded on Earth" a anticipated follow up to their acclaimed debut album Aloha Moon that was released late 2012.

Presently Dexy Valentine has delved into a darker sound and embarked on a side project called "Bonfire Beach" where she waves her magic wand over the gritty golden lights of Hollywood's lost angels to the moonlit seances of the gypsy trodden beachcombers. 

Bonfire Beach's debut self tilted album is due out on Cleopatra Records & the band will be main support for "The Dandy Warhols"fall tour this Sept/Oct. LA Weekly has given praise to Bonfire Beach listing them in "LA's top ten bands to blow up in 2014" as well as listing Dexy Valentine at #2 in the top ten rising female fronted bands in 
Los Angeles. 

Bonfire Beach's debut single/video "Spit U Out"  The track has an edgy  punk sound and has been compared
to The Gun Club meets Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. 


Bonfire Beach - Spit U Out

"Housed in a remote Texan barn, Khruangbin seem to bury deep within themselves.  Sounding like little else around - a colourful fusion of groove-based crate-digging and blistering psych - the band fused their sound from lengthy, exhausting rehearsals.

Lauded by Bonobo, debut single 'A Calf Born In Winter' has become a cult favourite. Utilising the flexibility of jazz but with something almost approaching the directness of hip hop, the group's instrumental prowess is matched to an astute song writing ability. 

New EP 'The Infamous Bill' drops on October 6th via Late Night Tales side label Night Time Stories, a wide ranging exposition of this Texan trio. Recalling the easy-going funk of The Meters but with a very modern attitude, Clash is able to premiere the title cut and it's a winner."

Bonfire Beach -  Black Tinted Moonlight

From the album ‘Noctunes’ (2015) • Pay what you want http://tndr.lv/willisbeal

Principalities of man got you down in the mud
You’re a single grain of sand so you can’t stand out
Misery on every corner looking for handouts
You got peoples steady yelling you don’t know what about
Just turn your eyes to the sky and remove all doubt
If you wanna survive 
If you wanna survive
Cause they’ll eat you alive
They’ll eat you alive
In your heart you feel you’re right but they tell you you’re wrong
The melody you orchestrate don’t go with the song
You’re only waiting in vain don’t make a difference how long
They tell you get off the stage but you can’t hear the call
So stop beating your chest and acting like King Kong
If you wanna survive
If you wanna survive
Cause they’ll eat you alive
Cause they’ll eat you alive

If you want to survive
You got to let it go
If you want to survive
You got to let it go
If you want to survive
Let it go
If you wanna survive
If you want to survive


Willis Earl Beal has yet to be born. Critics and publicists defined him before he’d had a chance to define himself. Their expectations were inextricably linked with race and gender, two concepts Beal thoroughly rejects. Now, two extremely productive years removed from the spotlight, Beal doesn’t feel pressure to define himself against anything. His new music is shockingly original, utterly confident, and as ephemeral as Beal himself. He levitates above definition, concerned only with self-discovery and truth-seeking. “I know it sounds falsely altruistic,” he says. “But I think a simple voice like mine can serve as an example of some kind of freedom.”

Willis Earl Beal - Survive

From the album ‘Noctunes’ (2015) • Pay what you want http://tndr.lv/willisbeal

Look around in the dark hallways
And I’m flying so low
I look around in the dark hallways
And I know
I’m flying so low
I’m flying so low
I’m flying so low

Follow the earth men
They try and get in my door
I can see their faces
Holler out
Their teeth show
But I know I can’t stop it
And it’s all up for grabs

I’m flying so low
I’m flying so low
I’m flying so low
I’m flying so low

The mountains rise and I fall 
Into the ocean
The monsters know
That I don’t got my potion
I try to run but I know it’s almost time so
I fall and crumble
I don’t have no place to go
I’m flying so low
I just wanna come back now
I’m flying so low
Why don’t you let me come back now
I’m crying on the stage
Please don’t forget me

Seattle 3 piece, Posse follow up their 2014 album, Soft Opening with this limited edition 7” featuring jacket artwork by Sam Falls.  The two tracks on the Perfect H 7” are constructed with intricately layered guitars, propulsive drumming and Paul Wittmann-Todd and Sacha Maxim’s hushed vocals.  These two eerily beautiful dreamscapes are sure to demand repeated spins, and satiate the Posse fan looking for some new tracks from their favorite pacific northwestern minimalists.
Words from Posse - "You're on the phone: the person on the other end is talking. You hear a voice, you hear voices: from behind you, around you. Reminiscent of people, places, things, stuff you cared about, stuff you never gave a shit about. Listening now, barely audible over the noise coming through the receiver, you feel connections you can't quite articulate: the colors of time, gradients, cycles, trees, boundaries, nothingness.  What's that? Someone is trying to get your attention. On the receiver, the other end of the line: sounds like you? Maybe? They're trying to get you to stop talking. They're saying they hear voices. You want to hang up, but the phone is not a phone. The phone is a switch. You throw the switch, the lights go out, and you're left in the darkness, alone."

Edition of 300 records. Additional artists participating in this 7” series are Mick Barr and Carson Cox.
