Yellow Son - 'Black Cloud'
This punchy, colorful electropop tune is the only thing Yellow Son has up on his Bandcamp page right now, but it's fun enough to warrant a watch on this guy.

Every once in awhile I find myself reminiscing about an artist who once was something, and wonder whatever happened to them? People on this list include Lyfe Jennings, Scott Storch, Cherish, Ciara, Jojo and for a short time Kelly Clarkson. I usually search each person to find any updated news about them. Well it seems as though I hadn’t searched Scott Storch’s name in years. I was shocked to find out that the reason Storch hadn’t made a decent hit was because of his expensive drug problem. Cocaine, more specifically, is what caused him to blow through much of his fortune. I just always wonder how some artists can squander so much money, then I remember its just another case of too much money to spend.

JBIII has drawn from many a city to create his signature soulful groove. Making stops in Chicago, New York, and Miami on a lifelong journey around the planet, Jesse has cultivated his experiences into an instantly addictive sound.
This ten-song mini-album, written and recorded by Miami's Stephan Ilnyckyj aka Smile, is a nice little experiment in short-form lo-fi instrumentals. It's a bit overly staccato in its song flow but it does feature some great warm synth textures. Stream below or download the whole thing for free.
The latest from Miami's Subjex, Echo System, will drop on Schematic this Tuesday. You can stream the whole LP in all its steamy, glitchy IDM glory below, or hop on over to Bandcamp to buy it for $6.
Miami beat-wielder Jonathon Abramson publishes his dreamy creations under the moniker Between You And Me. He's recently thrown up a bunch of new demos on Soundcloud. They're strange, subtle little pockets of haze, ambient mysteries that invite a sleepy wonderment. Check out the rippled and lovely "Can I Come In?" below.
Can I Come In? (Demo Version) by Between You And Me
Read more about Between You And Me - 'Can I Come In?'Young Circles know how to build a groove. They stack electronic swirls, orchestral tapestries and thin, sour vocals atop spacious percussion to create a kind of psychedelic, dance-rooted post-punk. Stream the entirety of their brand new record, Jungle Habits, below. Read more about Young Circles - Jungle Habits
Miami sludge metal band Torche released their latest LP Meanderthal in 2008 to impressive critical success. It topped Decibel Magazine's list of 2008's best extreme albums and even scored a high ranking from Pitchfork (upon which I'm sure the band smirked and/or shrugged in amusement). The video for the album's single "Across the Shields" is a little like Spike Jonze's Where the Wild Things Are on a few more drugs. But really, who doesn't want to dress up in creepy monster costumes and prance around the woods?

s much as I loved Credence Clearwater Revival as kid, I never thought I’d be able to hear them perform as an adult. I named my first dog after one of their songs, I danced to their songs at every family gathering we had, and I listened to them during nearly every car ride with my mother, who was a huge fan. I thought they were ancient, though (after all, my mom loved them!), and never thought they’d be playing while I was in my late 20’s.
(Okay, to be perfectly honest, it isn’t the original CCR; it’s Credence Clearwater Revisited, a band formed by a couple of the original members back in the ‘90s. But it’s just as worth seeing! It’s not like it’s a tribute band or anything; you’ve got real original members in there.) Read more about CCR in Miami This Week
