Nitepunk Makes His HARD Recs Debut With Breakbeat Beast, “Flow”
Nitepunk can celebrate another major move in his career now that he has made his HARD Recs label debut with his new single “Flow.” The track is an absolute barrage of breaks and bass that will make you want to host a solo underground dance party in your living room.

Christian Serratos Portraying Selena Is ‘A Way To Thank Her’
By Kim Hoyos For actress Christian Serratos, playing the titular role in Netflix’s Selena: The Series isn’t just another milestone in her already impressive career. After holding down three seasons as the popular girl Suzie Crabgrass in the Nickelodeon sitcom Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide, she played the hot-headed survivalist Rosita Espinosa in AMC’s The Walking Dead, as well as the shy, kind-hearted Angela Weber throughout the Twilight films; but her latest part is her most personal yet. In her eyes, it’s an opportunity to pay tribute to the late Mexican-American Tejano pop icon Selena Quintanilla, in the only way she knows how: by channeling the skills she’s honed into a deeply layered and intimate look at a singer whose musical breakthroughs and untimely death immortalized h...
24kGoldn’s Call of Duty
“Yeah, that’s my real name,” Golden Von Jones, better known as rapper 24kGoldn, tells SPIN over the phone from L.A., where it’s 10:30 am and he just woke up. “Being born in 2000, in the Chinese Zodiac, it’s also the Year of the Golden Dragon.” The idea came from his father, who was having second thoughts about the name until fate intervened with a 1978 classic by Frankie Beverly & Maze. “On his way home from work, he looked out over the sunset, and it was the most beautiful golden sunset he’d ever seen. And he goes and he turns on the radio, and the song ‘Golden Time of Day’ comes on. And he goes, ‘Oh, fuck, it’s a sign.’” CREDIT: Ricardo Gomes “Mood,” 24kGoldn’s collaboration with Texan rapper Iann Dior, has been No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for four non-consecutive weeks since Octo...
AC/DC’s ANGUS YOUNG: ‘It Was MALCOLM’s Direction We Followed All The Way Through Our Career’
In a new interview with BBC Radio 2‘s “The Rock Show With Johnnie Walker”, AC/DC guitarist Angus Young spoke about what it was like being in the recording studio without his brother, founding AC/DC rhythm guitarist Malcolm Young. Malcolm, who died in 2017 from effects of dementia at age 64, is credited as a writer on all 12 tracks on AC/DC‘s latest album, “Power Up”. Asked if it was “strange” not having his brother my his side, Angus said: “Yes, probably for my own feeling. Because even when we were very young as teenagers, my older brother used to take us into the studio to show us how everything worked in the recording studio. And he also used us — when he felt we were competent enough on our instruments, like the guitars — he would s...

SoCal artists (HED) P.E. have released a brand new video for “Overdue”. The song appears on (HED) P.E.‘s twelfth studio album, “Class Of 2020”, which was released in August via Suburban Noize Records. The date also marked the 20th anniversary of the group’s breakthrough album “Broke”. “I wrote this track for a local film company here in Boise, Idaho; for the closing credits.

The song and video are about insecurity and depression.” On &#...
SOILWORK Releases Music Video For ‘A Whisp Of The Atlantic’ Title Track
Swedish metallers SOILWORK have released the official music video for “A Whisp Of The Atlantic”, the title track of their new EP, which comes out today (Friday, December 4) via Nuclear Blast.

Starting with “Feverish” and ending with “A Whisp Of The Atlantic”, the whole EP is a journey from the rage of individuals to the search for something that replaces religion. Guitarist David Andersson explains: “From the desire of ‘Feverish’, the urge of ‘Desperado’, the determinism of ‘Death Diviner’, t...

How ‘Promising Young Woman’ Delivers on the Promise of an All-Female Soundtrack
By August 2019, Jacobs was sending screeners to major labels; two months later, Capitol Records signed on to distribute the soundtrack, thanks to her longstanding relationship with Capitol Music Group’s evp of soundtracks and A&R, Anton Monsted. The film also resonated with Capitol’s vp of creative sync licensing, Jenny Swaitowy, who says she appreciated Fennell’s take on female revenge in the #MeToo era (the film chronicles a woman, played by Carey Mulligan, who tricks men into taking her home from bars and clubs only to teach them a lesson). With Capitol onboard, Swiatowy set up screenings for about 20 of the label’s artists, from newcomers to arena acts, all of whom were women. Working under a three-month deadline, about half the usual time, Swaitowy secured a lineup of rising Capit...
