9.28 – That New New



EDIT: I wrote a long, kinda bummer version of this post which reads like an excerpt from The Adderall Diaries. But then I realized that besides being kinda weird and sad, it didn’t fit the format of TNN, so here’s the decaf version, with the longer version after the jump.

New Disclosure! Besides “Nocturnal,” other highlights from the album are “Good Intentions” feat. Miguel, “Willing and Able” feat. Kwabs, and “Holding On” feat. Gregory Porter.

If Fetty Wap’s album had come out in June it would have easily been our pick for album of the summer. Even without the great singles (“Trap Queen,” “679,” “My Way”), the whole record is a solidly enjoyable listen.

You know that thing where you friend sends you her music and you don’t want to listen because you’re afraid you aren’t going to like it (because you don’t like anything) and then you would feel awkward but then you do listen to it a month later and it’s really good, and then you feel stupid for overthinking it? Or is that just me?

TL;DR including unsolicited thoughts on TheWeeknd record below.

TBT: DJ Eleven Heavy Warmup



Heavy Warmup by Djeleven on Mixcloud

DJ Eleven’s installment for the Heavy Warmup series really captures that 11 PM – 12 PM in the club feeling, from just-walked-in-the-club to two-drinks-in-and-hitting-the-dancefloor. Also perfect for pre-gaming, or just vibing out solo to a great hour of hip-hop and R&B.

9.21 – That New New



More wonderful new music for you…

For more of this vibe, also check out Caladhort (Warlord Edit), which is a little more PC Music tacky but also way more hype.

“Discipline” also has excellent remixes from Ryan Hemsworth and Panteros666.

EDIT: Epic Records is pulling down #WATTBA streaming tracks as fast as they’re uploaded, so here’s the album on iTunes instead.

And last night the Drake & Future What A Time To Be Alive mixtape dropped and as expected the internet basically broke. The release is fairly short in length but consistently strong, most likely because Metro Boomin executive produced the project.
