Friday Download: Khary Durgans

Providence MC Khary Durgans has been making the rounds of 2015’s artists-to-watch-lists. Rightfully so. The Swim Team EP, Durgans’ second release of 2014, is smart, weird, and endlessly repeat-able. Listen to the man: “whenever someone undermines your worth just tell em, BITCH IM THE CAPTAIN OF THE SWIM TEAM.”

Staff Picks: Fait Accompli

Australia’s Fait Accompli’s falls somewhere between QOTSA’s psychedelic fuzzed out desert rock and The Faint’s distorted punk dance anthems. As brash as they are melodic, it’s no surprise the band has shared the stage with a range of influential DIY artists from veterans The Dead Kennedys to wordsmith Sage Francis. Their latest single “False Flags” is a fierce, politically-charged hardcore punk call-to-action that’s available now via BitTorrent Bundle.

Friday Download: The Fucked Up Beat

In this edition of Friday Download: New York producer Eddie Palmer and west coast “schizo” beatmaker Brett Zehner find the rhythm of our everyday interactions as The Fucked Up Beat. The experimental duo’s beatmaking process consists of parsing through field recordings of daily interactions, then weaving them with dusty jazz samples and trancing drums to assemble cinematic hip hop soundscapes. Their albumEuropa, an eleven-track collection of hip hop noir is available now via BitTorrent Bundle.
