Diplo – As I Lay Dying

Thanks to Rolling Stone We get to hear a 10-year-old Diplo track that was cut from Florida, his critically acclaimed 2004 debut album. Halfway between Trap and RJD2, “As I Lay Dying” sounds both modern and old in ways only Diplo could pull off. On the 10-year-anniversary of Florida, the album will be re-released with more never-before-heard tracks from the studio session, including a remix version of “Into The Sun”, which you can also hear above.

Cold War Kids – Hot Coals


A girl I used to date was really into this band. So I got into this band. Most people I know seem to think of the Cold War Kids only as the people who made “Hang Me Out To Dry” or perhaps the modern version of label-sanctioned Indie/Punk. All of these thoughts are true but don’t account the band does have a talent for making driving, simply, catchy Rock tunes. “Hot Coals” is one of those. The album Hold My Home is set to be released October 21st. The band has released two other tracks in the past months, which will likely appear on the album. Check them out here.
