Illum Sphere – Agent White

illum-sphere

awesome. “Agent White” is a new track from manchester dub producer Illum Sphere. this gem, initially to be released on Illum’s now delayed Long Live The Plan EP (expected Feb. 18) has been cleared by the artist as a free download. so download now, kids, cause apparently “Agent White” will no longer be heard on the EP, or any release for that matter. the track takes inspiration from his favorite Japanese animation film. dig it.

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club – Beat The Devil’s Tattoo

brmc

so basically, this is just about as good as we’d hoped it would be. “Beat The Devil’s Tattoo,” is the killer title track off the band’s 5th LP due out on march 8. this album is by far one of our most anticipated of the year, and we are straight stoked to get our hands on it. shouts to We All Want Someone To Shout For, for being all over this gem.
