Saturday Night Hype Masters 3-22-2014 (Katy B)

'Sup, y'all? Been workin' a lot and so, I've just been feeling either chill or tired, most of these days now. Due to my tired mood this weekend, I'm gonna hit y'all with a slightly more chill 5 hit combo of the lovely vocals of Katy B. Homegirl sounds good in everything she's in, and wisely dabbles in various genres to ensure she's staying fresh and reaching a wide audience! Hope you enjoy this one...until next week, y'all.

Saturday Night Hype Masters 3-15-2014 (Danny Byrd)

OOOOH MAN! How're y'all doin' on this fine Saturday Night? I'm lackin' sleep, but I'm still in a good mood and that means I gotta drop some FUN music for y'all, up in here! Time to get right with one of my personal favorite producers, Danny Byrd, because his Drum & Bass stylings are just so damn fun to listen to, and in a genre with fans trying to be all hard and serious, it's nice to just have some "good times" tunes, y'know? Get hype, and I'll catch you all next week!

Saturday Night Hype Masters 3-8-2014 (DJ Hazard)

Whoadamn. Sorry this is a day late, y'all! I had a lot to do yesterday, so I ended up leaving long before I normally write this feature. Anyways, Last night ended up being hype as fuck, so I'm gonna drop a really hype as fuck Drum & Bass producer on y'all right now, in the form of DJ Hazard! Never mind that tomorrow is Monday, and never mind that today, we lost an hour of sleep (or in my case, an hour of partying in the city), use this to get yourself ready for the week ahead! until next time...

Why The Mars Volta Reuniting Is Good For Rock Music And Your Ears

While nothing is 100% confirmed reputable sources have stated that the two brainchilds behind the project have begun talking again and may play together in 2015.  It is a long way off and the possibility of variables to mess it all up are high.  Ideally though, we could expect a small tour with some festival shows layered on top around the summer/fall of 2015.  There is a group that are jumping up and down with anticipation and another group that are groaning in anticipation of more falsetto squealing "over-indulgent guitar wankery".  While no doubt both points are valid (one more so than the other) there is some value for everyone in the return of the formidable musical monster.

Saturday Night Hype Masters 3-1-2014 (Ajapai)

Hey, guys and ladies! This week, I've got a mad interesting five hit combo for y'all! Check out Ajapai, who has a very distinct heavyweight dubstep style, and a seemingly polar opposite funky house style. Dude definitely gets you movin' though. Like what you're hearin'? Check out his soundcloud for even more dope tracks! See you next week!
