Roscoe Dash tries his hand at Lil’ Wayne’s joint. I’d imagine that he has a mixtape of some sort coming sometime this year.

The Toxic Avenger (@toxavanger) – Romance & Cigarettes
French DJ and producer Simon Delacroix, better known as The Toxic Avenger, produces music that speaks to the darkest depths of the imagination – fusing a chilling mix of pulsing electronic music and crime scene noir. Hot on the heels of his debut full-length album, ANGST, last year, The Toxic Avenger is back with a “vengeance”: today, the Parisian artiste announced his highly-anticipated new LP, Romance & Cigarettes, set for release on October 4th. Fans who have been eagerly awaiting new music will also be thrilled to hear that The Toxic Avenger will be releasing a single package of the same name on July 2nd. The Romance & Cigarettes single package contains the original mix alongside an extended LP version and a buzzy remix from acclaimed French producer DEMON.
“Romance & Cigarettes” is a deliciously dark electro collaboration with Anglo-French singer José Reis Fontao – perfect for kicking off long summer evenings. The cut carries all of the elements The Toxic Avenger has become renowned for: high-energy, pulsating beats amidst slick layers of shimmering synths & ever-so-slightly ghostly vocals. For a taste of the upcoming single package & LP, check out the “Romance & Cigarettes” MP3 where it premiered with VICE’s Noisey or HERE. We encourage you to post & share!
In addition to sharing stages with artists like Diplo, MSTRKRFT, Bloody Beetroots and Crystal Castles, The Toxic Avenger has made a name for himself remixing tracks by Ladytron, Benny Benasi, Chromeo and others. Stay tuned for more exciting news from The Toxic Avenger as he spreads his reign of terror across the US!

ALBUM STREAM: Daze (@Real_Daze) – S.O.L.A.R. (EP)
Daze, a guy straight from France, that produces Nu-Funk music with his vintage synths, vocoders and talkboxes.
When we was a kid, he has fallen in love with the funk teachers like Cameo, Zapp & Roger to D-Train, Skyy, Midnight Star, George Clinton and all the New-York’s Funk underground scene. Funk has always and will always take an important part in his heart & in his compositions.
His music is made without any sample, using only his vintage synthesizers like his “teachers” did years ago, so this is real stuff baby, not laptop music.
S.O.L.A.R (which means Sound Of Love Around Radios) is all about funk and emotions. Be ready to share this positive and energic music & spread the world!

Mariah Carey Feat. Miguel – #Hermosa (#Beautiful – Spanglish Version)

Iggy Azalea Feat. Wale – Work (Remix)
DC’s ambassador jumps of Aussie Iggy’s latest single. Definitely makes sense, given the song’s title.
Janelle Monáe – Dance Apocalyptic
Janelle Monáe’s music continues to sound futuristic and nostalgic at the same time….her next single (taken from The Electric Lady, which drops September 10th), seems to give a slight nod or sorts to Juicy J’s ‘Bandz’. You can also check out the teaser for the song’s upcoming visual here.
Aaron ‘Ab’ Abernathy Feat. Phonte – All This Love
Prologue Vol. II will be available for free download on July 11th.
Picking up where he left off, Ab’s first single from Prologue Vol. II is a take on DeBarge’s Eighties classic “All This Love.” Unlike the original, Ab’s transformation of this song speaks to his funk roots and takes his listeners on an emotional ride full of vulnerability.
On this record, Ab is assisted by Nat Turner band mate, Malik Hunter on bass, Black Milk on percussion, and Phonte lending his expertise on the subject at hand. With a stylistic lead and counter melodies reminiscent of the golden era, Ab helps us start the first week of summer on a high note (no pun intended).
