Detroit techno icon Eddie Fowlkes and renowned producer Loco Dice have joined forces for their forthcoming collaborative EP 'D-Town Playaz', landing August 7th on En Couleur. One of the songs taken from the new record is the cut 'Boogie Mandroid'. A dance-powered etching of techno, the throbbing 4x4 drums are paired with husky synth bass tones as added percussion fill the space between the two.
Danny Brown joins forces with Run The Jewels for the song and video '3 Tearz'. Directed by Colin Read and filmed in a warehouse in Brooklyn, the visuals feature the three emcees taking back on some raw Hip-Hop vibe, simply spraying bars on a mic in a circle of people who are holding up video cameras and smoking weed!
Coming out of Detroit is the band Shadow Show, who have been releasing a number of incredible garage rock and psychedelic tracks over the past year and a half. With their debut album 'Silhouettes' out February 14th via Burger Records / Stolen Body Records, the trio have shared their latest single entitled 'Charades.
The Raconteurs give us that unadulterated sound of Detroit rock & roll with their new single 'Bored and Razed'. The song is taken from their upcoming LP 'HELP US STRANGER', which is out June 21st via Third Man Records. Exploding with monster guitar riffs, thundering drums and a big, stadium chorus, the boys channel classic hard rock influences with subtle elements of prog and psychedelic, resulting in one powerhouse of a single. The Raconteurs are definitely back in full swing.
With their new album 'HELP US STRANGER' out June 21st on Third Man Records, The Raconteurs have shared their new single 'Hey Gyp (Dig The Slowness)'. The track follows the band's previously released cut 'Now That You're Gone'. Beginning with a running drum pattern, the track glides into a raw and unorthodox garage rock lane with slices of Dixie sprinkled in the mix.
Detroit rockers The Raconteurs has not released an album since 2008. Whilst Jack White has of course released solo LPs within that time frame, the band have finally announced news regarding their new album 'HELP US STRANGER'.
Detroit band ADULT. have released their new album 'THIS BEHAVIOR' via Dais Records. The pair have also shared the latest video to their third single 'Silent Exchange'. Directed by the group themselves, the visuals were shot in an icy forest and features singer Nicola Kuperus stylishly dressed whilst crawling in the snow.
Detroit-born, Vancouver-based singer and musician Khari Wendell McClelland delivers a piece of history with his forthcoming album 'Freedom Singer', out April 27th. Delving into the journey of his great-great-great grandmother Kizzy who made the trek from the United States to Canada in the 1800s, the LP is a collection of songs that represent that time period and the possible accompaniment throughout her travel. Co-produced with John Raham, Khari Wendell McClelland blends various musical styles to create one powerful and masterful record.
Jack White is back with the release of his incredible new album 'BOARDING HOUSE REACH' out on his Third Man Records imprint. Here is the video for his blazing single 'Over and Over and Over'. A whirlwind of room changing scenes of a home which feature marching in military fatigue, people working out and more with White jamming on his guitar. Now mind you, the camera pans extremely quick as the clips transition. For those who are prone to dizziness fairly quickly, we are going to forewarn you - it's rapid. Other than that, this is a great song and killer video to accompany it. Have a look.
Having released their blazing EP 'The Romance' about four months back, Detroit/Berlin pair Shaun J. Wright and Alinka fire-off with their latest release 'Walk Into The Unknown'. Driving down the lane of acid house and venturing into the tech side of things, the record, whilst darker in sound than their previous release, still contains that sultry and nocturnal styling of 4x4 that originally captured us initially. Definitely a soundtrack to the night, you can stream the EP down below.
