The scary this is, Miguel looks good with his shirt off too.

“Wus Good / Curious” is so densely layered that it constantly keeps you coming back for more. It starts off like any good make-out session, slow and sweet, and quickly turns into something unexpected, yet completely warranted by the end.

Party Omo remains relatively anonymous on the interweb, but there is a cryptic Pinterest account as well as Twitter handle with over 3,000 followers and only four tweets. Now that’s swag.

There’s rtumours that Party Omo is fucking with the OVO gang, which seems like a pretty good fit if you consider his/her sound, marketing tactics, and anonymous persona, (ie. the Weeknd circa 2010). Keep your eyes out for more information, as we’re expecting big things from Party Omo in the coming months.

s/o @breaghbrown for the hook up.

Välkommen! Planning on spending the night with these kittens? If you don’t know, the Shout Out Louds are an indie pop band from Stockholm, Sweden with their new release, “Optica“, on Merge Records; it certainly deserves Winnie’s attention. Get at them on Monday, and take their single “Illusions” for free below.

Illusions – Shout Out Louds

Cashmere Cat is, to me (and guys like RAC), one of the most exciting and unique musical acts to break through in a minute. The Norwegian’s Mirror Maru EP on Pelican Fly and Ed Banger has been championed by the likes of Diplo and Annie Mac and so I did this litle edit for dj sets in the klerb.

Robin Daily is a Vancouver native but took Music Business & Production Emphasis in Nashville, Ten A Key. He made it quite clear with his first project that his sound was experimental and darker than the rest of the “Trap” that has been coming out in the past year. I personally wouldn’t completely call him “Trap” but a experimental darker southern style of it. Four months ago he released his first project “optx” which had 2 great original pieces and 3 remixes including a very interesting take on Led Zeppelin’s “No Quarter” & TI & Bun B’s “Front Back“. Today we got his next project titled “Baalaclava”, it features Lil Boosie, Missy Elliot, Plies, Young Buck & 50 Cent. The thing about this EP is all the original work with still keeping that dark & eery original touch that he’s known for. Peep the new project below and make sure to hit his Facebook up.

I really dig this remix by Wax Nostalgic.
Another solid production from Toronto’s WN, he  really brings a relaxed  summertime vibe with some extra syrup on them bongos to this mix.  I’m always happy when I play this in a set.
enjoy the sun.

Silver Wilkinson, the seventh album from multi-instrumentalist Bibio is here. The Brit has long been something of a producer’s unicorn, prolific yet mysterious and inscrutable. Put this record on, make some sangria and ham/tomato sandwiches and go have a picnic at Prospect Point.

First post merits a favorite artist, ye? Ye.

Rancho Cucamonga’s Brian Folk has quickly instilled a firm footing in my earballs. The overall swooniness of his catalog, full of remixes not too unlike this Grimes Bootleg dun did it. Hope yous guys enjoy.

Kurt Rockmore, who goes by KURT professionally, is an example of an artist I’d love to hang-out with. He recently emailed Winnie Cooper with “Humble Approach” as the subject line, even though he’s opened for such acts as J.Cole, Ryan Leslie, Yo Gotti, Iggy Azeala, Joey Badass, and Action Bronson.

His latest project – entitled Red Carpet Ignorance - was written entirely by KURT and features Bun B on the track Don’t Need ‘Em. He fuses hip-hop with R/B to create something that is lyrically honest but still worthy of mainstream attention. KURT is not only a talented artist, but from what I can tell via URL, he’s a pretty stand-up dude too. For more information on KURT, check out his website for Red Carpet Ignorance.

May Long Weekend is fast approaching us, and what better way to spend your guilt-free Sunday night than at Fortune Sound Club with two rising musical stars.

After a mesmerizing show at Fortune Sound Club last January, electronic-artist Kastle will be returning to Vancouver with Montreal-based sensation Kaytranada on May 19. Kastle’s forward-thinking music results from his long-time love of hip-hop and R&B, fused with the magnetizing effect that garage, house, dubstep and bass-heavy music has had on him. Kastle’s unique fusions will fit nicely with Kaytranada’s modern take on the luscious sounds of 90′s r/b.

This night will also feature performances by local acts 8PRN and Blue Version. While early bird tickets are sold-out, advanced tickets can still be purchased online or in-person at  Zulu, Red Cat, Highlife, and Beatstreet recrods.

For a chance to win a pair of tickets, email winnieguestlist(@)gmail.com with your name by Friday, May 17th at 5:00pm. You must be attending the Facebook event page and ‘like‘ Winnie Cooper on Facebook to qualify. 19+ only. Please Use “Long Weekend Contest” as the subject line.
