Damu has only been putting out his crystalline dance music for a year-and-a-half, but Sam Schorb's glistening take on UKG, electro, and house has already been touted by Mike Skinner as the future of UK bass. His summer single "Ridin'" took liberal arpeggios, laser bleeps, and r&b vocals and

In the world of music, the word “cover” invokes thoughts of bad singing and a fuzzy webcam. Yuna, a folk popper from Malaysia, changed our minds with her smooth, haunting cover of Nirvana’s “Come As You Are.” P.S. – see if you can spot Pharell!...

Kyoto might not be known for its ghettos and public housing, but the tattooed, bandana-donning MC Anarchy is a product of a lesser known Japanese subculture. Growing up amidst poverty, abandonment by his mother, and alcoholism in his community, Anarchy uses his lyrics as therapy. Through three

Oddly enough, there's very little dub in dubstep. Jamaican roots, dub, and dancehall have been decidedly absent from the electronic genre from South London. Until now! On April 5, Elephant Man is dropping a dark and dirty album that mixes all that stuff together. It's called Vampires &

For the last decade, veterans like Machel Montano, Bunji Garlin, Shurwyane Winchester and Iwer George have dominated the Soca Monarch and Road March titles in Trinidad and Labor Day. However rising star Blaxx (government name Dexter Stewart), who placed in the top four at the 2011 Soca Monarch

The Super Junior members transform brilliantly into vampires for the commercial and fangirls literally combust at the combination of Twilight and their idols.

Imagine being in a band and seeing your own songs on the karaoke machine! For British duo Blood Red Shoes, it's just another day in a life full of crazy, mind-bending situations. We took a walk down the Lower East Side of Manhattan with Steven Ansell and Laura-Mary Carter as they told us about...

The New York City electronic producer and DJ, Drop The Lime, aka Luca Venezia, has released his hit single “Sex Sax” through his own Trouble & Bass label. This club banger is going to have you up and onto the dance floor in no time. In this video, Dirty South Joe is playing...

You also sing â a buck come from Guyana to try and lick me down.â Can you explain that line? Well they say in Guyana there is a race of shorter, mystical people in the forest. They are said to have special powers. So if someone in Trinidad gets rich, another might say â oh gorsh, the...

Cumbia? Check. Indie rock en Español? Check. Colombian hip hop? Check! The 12th annual Latin Alternative Music Conference invaded New York City last week, armed with the best Latin musicians from every country and every genre. From new emerging electronic artists like Que Bajo?!, to the recent

Cumbia? Check. Indie rock en Español? Check. Colombian hip hop? Check! The 12th annual Latin Alternative Music Conference recently invaded New York City's Roosevelt Hotel, armed with the best Latin musicians from every country, and every genre. From new emerging electronic artists like Que Bajo?!,

Indie rockers Surfer Blood sure love to reference fun-in-the-sun themes...for a bunch of non-surfers from West Palm Beach, Florida! The quintet released their first album Astro Coast and has quickly earned popular acclaim around the globe. Their sound has been compared to Weezer, Pavement and Built

Miike Snow, the Swedish fellows behind "Animal," "Burial," and my favorite Amadou and Miriam remix just finished recording their sophomore album (still untitled). It's been two years since the trio's self-titled, Animal Collective-hearkening debut earned them ubiquitous cred, and collaborations

With a name like Fother Muckers you might expect a grungey garage rock band. You would expect something aggressive, confrontational. You would expect something other than the totally sublime, jangley indie rock these Chilean's play. Clear bright guitar tones ring out and seem to burst like soap

Let's cut to the heart of Karina Buhr: she's Patti Smith with kohl eyeliner and a hell of a lot of Brazilian culture at her disposal. In the video for "Carapalavra," off her second album, she dons a hijab in the streets of and glares at the camera, like the concrete poet that she is....

Who knew...vampires and US rock band Metric seem to go hand-in-hand. Metric's tune "Eclipse (All Yours)" is the first track on The Twilight Saga: Eclipse Soundtrack, and their new video plops the band duo Emily Haines and Josh Windstead into the vampire underworld, with flashes of Kristen Stewart,

In the wake of a lawsuit over their album cover Contra, the legendary New York indie-rockers Vampire Weekend are putting it behind them for their US tour. The quartet stopped at Austin City Limits Music Festival, where we nabbed photos of them. Check out the Ivy League dudes playing Afro-pop rock

We’ve seen Australian The Temper Trap live before, and we never get tired of Indonesian frontman Dougy Mandagi’s beautiful voice. Though, we probably could have done without his diva behavior at Austin City Limits Music Festival this year. (Oh, we reviewed the show thoroughly, don’t worry!) The

I should start by saying what's so blisteringly obvious. It's tough being Iranian in America. And it's tough being a homosexual rocker. But Vampire Weekend's Rostam Batmanglij is both. And the Columbia-educated guitarist, composer, and producer is fast becoming something of a role model since he

Face it, USA, you didn’t make the amazing, artsy vampire flick Let the Right One In. Sweden did. It was a gorgeous tour-de-force and a huge success both commercially and critically, and there’s nothing you can do about it.

The wait is almost over! In little more than a week, "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1" will be yours to own on Blu-ray and DVD, meaning you can hit repeat on all those awkward wedding toasts over and over again. (Or, y'know, one of the steamy sex scenes. If that's your thing.
