NY / Iceland duo Thugfucker joins forces with Berlin underground darling Nico Stojan to bring their wild party instigating stylings to the remix of Climbers' 'Tomorrow Never Comes' that takes the original on an 11 minute ride through a gradual steam rolling dance floor destroyer.

People  Under  the  Stairs  have  excused  themselves  from  modern  hip  hop.  “We  are  not  MC’s, Producers, or DJ’s” Double K explains, “we are B-boys, and we do all of that naturally”.  Together, both members dig for records, produce the beats, rap, scratch, engineer, design the artwork and construct the albums, and in doing so, present some of the most personal music available in hip hop.

Sky Float Sun - what does it mean? It explains what flying is like, the experience of floating on the air with just you and the clouds and the sun outside the airplane window. The album is a collection of songs we worked on in multiple studios in Portland, Oregon over a four-year period. Each song has a different vibe and this is a result of not working in just one studio. 
After visiting places like Mexico, Belgium, Germany, Turkey and Hawaii, the experiences we had in each place helped inspire what is on the album. The memories of each place are replaced with sounds that will help keep those moments forever! We had amazing times meeting new people, trying new foods and being exposed to art and history.
There are songs that also represent where we call home, Portland. We wanted to make music for our fans that showed a different side ourselves. We both did a lot of growing up in the time from the last album, and this is what makes up the new album. Changes in environment and surroundings always bring new music and sounds and this is something we always look forward to. 
Thank you for listening to our album, enjoy the sounds and close your eyes when you listen to it with headphones. We would greatly appreciate it, we want to you visualize our art and hear every sound.

Brooklyn quartet Body Language make a slinky brand of groovy, often moody dance pop with infectious rhythms. They’re set to drop their latest full-length effort, Mythos, later this fall. An early taste of the album comes in “Addicted.” The four-piece showcases their uncanny ability to dance you through deceptively piercing, emotional evocations. Bubbling synth layers, and subtle intricate percussion drive the track as gauzy, penetrating harmonies float above. The song is perfect for feel-good night where flirting can be difficult to discern as love or lust. Here’s what singer/producer Matthew Young had to say about the jam: “Sometimes the line between love and need is blurred by desire, ‘Addicted’ tries to embody that line.”

TWINKIDS’ debut EP “Boys Love” comes out August 18th, with the EP title paying homage to the gay romance manga genre of the same name. Drawing influence from 80’s J-pop and artists like Imogen Heap and Bonobo, the EP’s five songs tell coming-of-age stories about falling in love.

Lyrics:
maybe too dizzy to talk now
our quiet says it all too loud 
we’ve got a lot to say
together tethered to your tongue
measuring taste coming undone 
our summer melts away

can it be something simple
can we be careful, untold
to you i can succumb
shake me awake from your wonder 
i’ll never know ’til i’m under
to where we come undone

gentle dreaming
last night, between the sheets 
lights out, and outside
we hear the siren song 
smoke up, i feel good 
careful, speak slow
shotgun, tobacco
i feel you take control

maybe be dizzy to talk now 
waiting to say it all too loud
i’ll be the ghost of our high and 
tired of thoughts and the dying 
our summer melts away

when we touch, we 
mumble, stuttering 
subway, tremble 
whisper don’t go home 
dry mouth, silent
cash out, meet again 
simple affection
i feel you take control

Boys Love

TWINKIDS - Shotgun (Brothertiger Remix)

This song is about that person who’s deeply broken and desperate for love. The guy who’s manipulating someone to come be with him, but only when it’s most convenient. The words “Jigoku Tengoku” mean “hell or heaven” in Japanese. It’s a pretty lie he’s telling his lover, saying he’ll follow them to the depths of hell or heaven, that “this time’s different,” but those are just empty words.
 
We went through a lot of versions of this song, changing the tempo, should it be swung or un-swung, how should we ground the chords in the verses and what should that final synth sound like? We found solace after listening to artists like Leon Vynehall, Jamie xx, and Empress Of and thinking about how to use synths to support the groove rather than just reiterate the chord progression. We spent a long time on the synth that comes out at the end, automating the envelope and adjusting timing…for us, that had to be the biggest surprise the song had to offer.

Lyrics:

VERSE:
I’m not lying
when I told you we had something to give
This time’s different
I will  worship you like religion
This ain’t the coke talking
(or the) out of my mind ranting
This time
I won’t change my mind
oh oh no
I’ve left those thoughts behind 
oh oh no

VERSE 2:
Believe me
It’s not that I just want you in the night
Believe me
Coincidence is simple when you’re high
Jigoku Tengoku
Wherever I follow you
Babe your
Amethyst loving keep me warm
Sometimes I’m swallowing few white stones

VERSE 3:
2AM texting and I keep you waiting
I’m trying to test you to see you desperate
Jigoku Tengoku
Wherever I follow you
Babe your
Amethyst loving keep me warm
Sometimes I’m swallowing few white stones

VERSE 4: 
I’m not lying
I just need you temporarily
This time’s different
I know I’m ill don’t run away from me
lost in the deep end
I’m thinking bloodstone
your cold loving will
be keeping me warm

VERSE 5:
2AM texting and I keep you waiting
I’m trying to test you to see you desperate
Jigoku Tengoku
Wherever I follow you
Babe your
Amethyst loving keep me warm
Sometimes I’m swallowing few white stones

HOOK:
I keep making the same old mistake
