Three Men And A Banger :: ‘LIMITLESS’ Unleashed

A year in the making.. the brainchild of producers Mnolo and Anecha (their third collaboration) and Chief and TheDoomsdayDevice.  Rock solid.  Listen to it, download it, share it, love it, cherish it, and know that you will not be restrained.

Just Like We Used To Dream :: Orthy Drops ‘E.M.I.L.Y. EP’

When we were just kids growing up, skating and riding our bikes in those Austin streets of the 80s and 90s, Orthy and I used to talk about what it would be like when we were both older, dropping albums, playing shows, and living our dreams.  It’s good to know that both of us shared that future vision, and that both of us continue to grow in our respective crafts.  Support a longtime friend of mine, and enjoy yourself to some beautifully haunting electronic pop music.

The Ballad Of Yung Taco Bell :: Click-Clack Drops ‘Housework II’

It’s a banger.  It’s written and produced by one man.  And it’s free.  What’s not to like about the fact that Click-Clack is blessing us with a follow-up to his classic debut in the form of part deux?  Don’t front… cop this, share this, and blast this LOUD on your radio machines.
