The Weeknd drops his final and much-anticipated third free mixtape album of the year, “Echoes Of Silence”..

For the past few months, it seems like Drake has been the most hated man in hip-hop. Endless blogs have attacked him and his self-developed cult of personality, calling him out for being “soft” in all-caps rants or decrying his lack of being able to “say anything new”. Does he deserve all the hate? Well, [...]

Watch the new video for The Weeknd’s song “The Knowing”, taken from the album “House Of Balloons”.

Listen to Drake‘s song “The Ride” featuring The Weeknd, below. When Drake‘s album “Take Care” leaked a few days ago there was a track that had been left off of the final version, the closing track called “The Ride” that features vocals from The Weeknd again and is also another of the songs ont he [...]

I’ve been itching for more from Bad Passion since we first featured them back in July. That feature was on the basis of just one track, “Rockin’ Your Beats”, but their new EP “Doin’ It Slow” confirms for any doubters that Alt and Lesley have something quite special going on here. It follows very much in [...]

Listen to Drake‘s new song “Take Care” below, produced by Jamie xx and featuring Rihanna. Tonight we were given not one, not two, not three, but two new songs by Drake, both featuring artists I enjoy a whole lot more than I enjoy Drake.

Búfalo is a Brazilian duet formed by Felipe Mattos and Renan Pamplona. The members, who live in Santa Catarina (a beautiful southern state), found each other online. Felipe was looking for people on MySpace because he wanted to form a band. Well, so did Renan. But that wasn’t the only coincidence: they found out that [...]

Listen to and download the MP3 of The Weeknd‘s new song “Initiation” below. It’s only been less than 2 months since The Weeknd dropped “Thursday”, his second mixtape of the year after the wildly successful “House Of Balloons” back in March. He’d already promised us 3 mixtapes this year and on October 24th he’ll release [...]

This post is a “QuickPick”.   QuickPicks are my attempt at getting all of the music that’s sent to me that I like (or just music I like but have no words for because it’s so awesome!), out into the dubya dots, picked quickly. Less for you to read, more for you to hear. Artist: Jesse [...]

It  hasn’t even been out for a week yet but already the remixes, mashups, and reworks of “Thursday” tracks are filling the interwebs. This one by Sango might just stand out from the others though with it’s thumpingly slow rework of The Weeknd‘s “Gone”, making it all but unrecognisable save for the chopped up vocals, and [...]

The Weeknd, otherwise known as Abel Tesfaye, promised us two more mixtapes this year after his debut mixtape album “House Of Balloons” went bat-shit insane across the internet back in March with its blend of soulful Lo-Fi R&B and scratchy electronic compositions. Although it blew up it was a bit of a polariser, receiving criticism [...]
