Third Culture just dropped the kind of track that makes genre purists clutch their pearls – and that’s exactly the point. “She’s Evil,” their new collaboration with Chicago techno maverick Hiroko Yamamura, isn’t here to play nice with your expectations. The duo – Sian and Sacha Robotti – have crafted something deliciously twisted: a bass-heavy fever dream that’s equal parts playful funk and dark room delirium. But wait – they’ve also enlisted Detroit royalty DJ Minx for remix duties. Fresh off c

Here come Raffie and Madeline, two incredibly skilled singers and songwriters. The two wrote the song’s original uplifting vocal hook and

Intrigued, I read through it. tl;dr a boyfriend has had a love making playlist with his girlfriend for 2 years to help with his “natural rhythm” and she just let him know that she hates one of the songs. Now, I don’t know where this guy found this music or what rhythm he’s going for, but the song in question is “Cbat” by Hudson Mohawke, which came out in 2011. Listen below. As you might imagine, the
