I finally sat down and listened to Geographer...well worth my time. You probably know them for their song Kites. So much more to these guys! They've got a good upbeat but mellow oxymoronic sound. I'm waiting patiently for some good remixes. **Bonus side note -- the above video was actually filmed in outer space!!**
Another banger from skrillly. I also like some dark shit, so when devil comes out, I get excited. So have fun with this track and listen to it for a lil bit till it drops.
I dont know much about this red cafe guy. But he opens this track up and kills it. A lot of other big guys in this track also having great parts. Its got a nice touch of a notorious big beat in the middle when diddy come in. Great song real addicting to listen to.

DDDamn, that's good! Skrillex came up with a straight up banger. This track is exactly what I've been needing. I have been in a real mellow mood lately and have been looking for a track with some energy. Skrillex the 23 year old LA native was been on point throughout 2011 and it looks like he is coming strong in 2012 too. Also, gotta give some props to Zedd for kicking this track into high gear. I am looking forward to bumping this track in my headphones as I cruise around the city this week. Enjoy!
As I have said before and will say again. I am a huge fan of EtMusiquePourTous, especially their Le Miel du Mois. This months mix-tape is well fitted to my mood as of late. I have been winding down to the end of my MBA. A year and a half process that has finally reached its longevity. Today I just finished the last class of my MBA. I am a free man now. A great feeling for sure, but I am not sure what to do with my free weekends......maybe party? Well if that's the case, imma need to find some more fresh music to share and rock out to. But in the meantime I plan to pop some svetle pivo and jam out to EMPT's sweet new mix-tape.
Legendary Swedish indie electro group Miike Snow has been doin' work lately. The trio consists of front man Andrew Wyatt and the production talent of Christian Karlsson, Pontus Winnberg. This song and Devils Work are the first releases off of Miike Snow's new album. Some people are disappointed with the lack of epicness on this track compared to Devils Work. However, I think that this track has more mass appeal due to its infectious dance beat. The group decided to release this track on their Soundcloud account yesterday during the internet black-out to protest SOPA. The retarded legislation that could shut down this music blog and most others. But until that happens, let's just keep enjoying the free music!

The Rapture always puts out great tracks with no exception here with sail away. Here are three sick remixes. Aeroplane gets all over it. The Rapture - Sail Away - Remixes
Die Antwoord is a pretty wild group hailing from South Africa. The group consists of Ninja, who is looks like something out of the movie Gummo and Yo-Landie Vi$$er who brings the darker side of sex appeal to the group. The groups sound is a crazy mix of 90s style rave music with a gritty South African flow.The group has been getting a lot of notoriety lately from the global blog community and have been blowing up the rap-rave scene. The group clearly has a sense of humor wrapped under their harden exterior as you can tell from the video above and their video Enter the Ninja. Also, in an article they recently did with Spin Magazine, the group said that they really wanted to work with Celine Dion. In a quote from the article Yo-Landie states "Think Twice is Ninja's favorite song". However, don't be fooled. These guys are pretty intense and videos like Fok Julle Naaiers make sure you don't forget. Now here is Die Antwoord's latest track, I Fink U Freeky. This track is off their new album Ten$ion set to come out in Feb, 2012. It's definitely something i'm looking forward too.
Bay Area legend Gift of Gab (or the other half of Blackalicious) released the single Protocol this week of his upcoming album The Next Logical Progression that's due in late March via Quantum Projects. Definitely something use over here at the IBF will be looking forward too.
This is the kind of beat that just makes me feel good. It has that old do wop beat and a real simple flow that reminds me of a warm summer's day. GOB brings his typical on point flow to this track while Sam Kravits brings a classic soul feel to the track. This track is a refreshing divergence from the hip-hop that has been coming my way these days. Sometimes simpler is better and GOB proves it. Gift of Gab – Protocol ft. Samantha Kravitz
