And a little taste of the new Betatraxx single, Drug Abuse, to hold you over
BetaTraxx - Drug Abuse (Preview) by BetaTraxx

When we laid ears on “Home” it sounded to us like the music of a very content, gratified soul. Well we probably would be too if we left behind the public transport misery of Ldn for Suwanee, Georgia AKA “The 10th Best Place To Live In America” as bestowed by Money Magazine. Diego Deleon steers his luminous melodies via the scenic route under the monicker Exact Index, patiently welcoming sunrise with the smoothest four minutes of rippling, blurred-Balearic beats.

Don’t think for a SECOND that Papa Smith didn’t have a hand in getting little 9 year old Willow a record deal. Ya, that was definitely happening. Like a long line before him (Chico DeBarge, I’m looking at you) Will Smith is simply halping to “carry on the family name” I’m sure, and let’s face it, it could have been worse, Jaden Smith (Willow’s brother) could have become the littlest pop star. Oh wait, that happened too.

But let’s get to Willow’s debut track “Whip My Hair”. Something tells me Momma Jada Pinkett would slap Willow for slipping into the street accent she throws on some her “hair” references here, but despite that, it’s actually a competent, if a surprisingly aggressive hip-hop track…for. a. nine. year. old. In olden days (the mid-90’s) a kid this young would have to release a cute, mid-tempo song about “having fun” or maybe sleepovers. But this is not then, and Willow (who I doubt had anything to do with actually creating this track despite showing up for recordings, which actually says more about her handlers than her own state of mind) has made a nasty, aggro-stripper (“I whip it real hard”) anthem for the fall. Sure beats that new Karate Kid movie.

I know you guys have all been waiting for this one. The Jamaican zombie killer personified by dance music giants Diplo & Switch will be zapping all y'all with some dancehall/electro lazerbeams this Friday at the Avalon in Hollywood, and I can safely say this will be even crazier than the Wolfgang Gartner night we had a couple weeks back. Supporting Major Lazer will be some of LA's finest including Peace Treaty, Them Jeans, Mr. White, and ///BONES.
