DJ I.D.

In the world of nasty Bass Music, there's a sick new EP out by I.D. on Sub Slayers records.

The individual tracks (via soundcloud) ain't too bad, as evidenced by "Mustang" below:

Mustang VIP by I.D.
But the real highlight for me is the attached promo mix, a flurry of dancehall and dubstep featuring the likes of Dubbel Dutch and Jakes:

This is quite possibly the coolest concept for a music video that I've ever seen, set perfectly to the music. Aspiring video directors, take note of Saman Keshavarz's impeccable example:

Wild Nothing - Summer Holiday

It's been a long time since "indie" music has captivated me. Ever since I went down the dark rabbit hole that is electro house and dubstep, every song I hear has turned into me looking for the bass, critiquing the synth, and waiting interminably for the drop - but I miss feel good pop fare, the music that makes you sad and joyful and wistful all at once without you even knowing it.

Wild Nothing, it's good to be back:
