Listen: Watcha Clan
On the first listen of the remix for “Goumari”, from Watcha Clan‘s 2008′s Diaspora Hi-FI: A Mediterranean Caravan, the sample of Dawn Penn’s 1994 hit “You Don’t Love Me (No No No)” is so familiar that you wonder what exactly this French quartet is going to bring to the table.

Watch: Florence and The Machine – “Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up)”

Album Review: White – White
In ancient China, a complex color symbology dictated appropriate attire. Yellow, a color to ward off evil, was associated with the imperial class and its servants. Red, a color for good luck, was traditionally worn at weddings. A man in a green hat was said to have an unfaithful wife. And white, the symbol of both purity and [...]
