We haven’t covered Great Minded Brothers (aka GMB) here before, but if you’re a fan of something called “loud”, you might like this song and video. It appears they’re referencing smoking a controlled substance – which is something we don’t condone here at Earmilk. However, if you’re into sweeping trap synths and hard hitting 808′s, look [...]

It’s no secret that we’re fans of Adventure Club here at Earmilk. I mean, our own writer Leonard even crawled into bed with them and had a pillow talk interview – give or take. In the past year we’ve seen Adventure Club sweep over the web & blogsphere with a fever of dubstep remixes, often [...]

A few months ago, I interviewed Cris Cab. I know it’s hard to explain this via a blog, but when you talk to Cris Cab, you just get a sense of his dedication. It’s not the words he’s saying, it’s how he’s saying it. He’s a passionate young man, with musical talent and skill beyond [...]
I’m a grown ass man, so it’s not easy for me to admit I really liked the organic female singer-songwriter movement of the mid-to-late 90s. I really enjoyed Jewel, Sarah McLoughlin, Natalie Merchant, and the rest of the “Lilith” style music. So I suppose the question remains: what happened to that style of music? The [...]

The hits just keep coming out of Houston, Texas. I first discovered Travis Scott almost one year ago, and in that short time, he’s grown from an unpolished rapper and producer into a juggernaut of what I’m calling “glam rap”. After getting discovered here on Earmilk, Travis Scott was named the #1 most promising underground [...]

An interesting turn of events has landed me in Los Angeles, California. Since I’m here, I figured I might as well look into what’s new here, what artists are pushing new sounds, and where to find it. It just so happens I didn’t have to look far. The Melt is a Los Angeles based show, [...]

If you’ve been reading Earmilk for more than a few weeks, you probably already know we love G-Eazy. We always get great feedback from our readers when we post G-Eazy. So… I figured it would be a good idea to have Earmilk put on a show in New Orleans, and have G-Eazy perform there. This [...]

This morning I was going through Twitter and happened upon a tweet from Earmilk favorite ill.Gates. He was urging everyone to check out some new artist. I trust his opinion when it comes to music, so I clicked over to find the Soundcloud for Pair Of Arrows. It’s an “Xx-ish” sort of sound, but with more [...]

This month has been a busy one for Aural Sects, a record collective and collaborative project known for being at the forefront of witch house. Just days after a new release by DJ Deathray, a two track album surfaces from Tash Willmore. We In Love is a great representation of good witch house. The vocals [...]

Few things get me more excited than a track by Sleigh Bells. When Treats came out in 2010, I was blown away by the depth of sound I was experiencing. Sleigh Bells is for people that listen to Suicidal Tendencies, but also love the subtle qualities of Wilson Phillips. In fact, Sleigh Bells is more [...]

Over the past 30 days, I have hitchhiked over 4,000 miles, from Atlanta, to Memphis, to New Orleans, to Texas, to Phoenix, to Tahoe, to the Bay, and now down to Hollywood. For the next few days, I’ll be cutting film at Lion Heart Studios in Los Angeles, and then heading to the Sundance Film [...]

For the past 26 days, I have been on the road. I started in Atlanta with the goal of ending up in Tahoe for the SnowGlobe Festival. Sadly, the SnowGlobe Festival starts in less than 24 hours, and I’m in Phoenix, Arizona. I refuse to break my own rules and take a bus, plane or [...]

I need to be at the SnowGlobe Festival in six days. I know it doesn’t sound like a heavy burden, but it has actually become one. There’s a strange side to the “business world” of music – and I’m going to delve into it for a moment here. How many festivals happen across the globe [...]

I arrived in Houston shortly after 6PM on a Thursday. It was dark, and I was in the wrong part of the city. Thankfully, my friend Ivana came to the rescue. “Maybe I should have rolled up my windows and locked the doors?,” she smiled and said as I entered the car. “It would have [...]

A few days ago, this idea popped into my head: “I’m going to hitchhike all the way from Atlanta to Lake Tahoe.” Why? Because sometimes, I just have to break free and do something. The SnowGlobe Festival also starts in 15 days. Of course, this also entails me hitchhiking back. The core of what I’m doing [...]
This morning, ill.Gates called me up – and this dude sounded like someone just gave him the keys to the candy store. Have you ever talked to someone, and realized they were so excited, they might be in danger of urinating on themselves? That’s how excited ill.Gates was.

Today is a VERY special day on Earmilk. First off – it’s my BIRTHDAY! HOORAY! (I made it to 25. Sweet.) Secondly, it’s officially CYBER MONDAY here on Earmilk! Since it’s such a cool day, I planned up an awesome prize package for a lucky winner. So, don’t make plans New Year’s Eve. Are you [...]

If you’ve been reading Earmilk long enough, you know that we’ve taken a liking to one of the most underrated electronic music producers out there – ill.Gates. A little background, in case you don’t already know: ill.Gates is the production partner of Bassnectar. He’s from Toronto, Canada – and he’s an absolute beast. He sent [...]
