Besides working hard on his newly started Congaloid label, Italian born but London residing producer/dj Stefano Ritteri AKA Solo is busy putting together blissful remixes such as this one of forthcoming single “Unhappy Ending” from Canadian singstress Jenna Andrews.

It might be a slow burner but it’s an excellent slow burner with soulful vocals, a chugging bassline and church bells tolling in the background that has us grooving out here at Discobelle HQ.

Hey yo, i’ve been touring again, so i hope you can take this brilliant new Nicolas Jaar Essential mix as an excuse. Well, frankly speaking, i’ve just listened to 10 minutes of it, but i’m sure it’s brilliant anyway). And i promise to tour less and post more in summer!

В качестве извинений за отсутсвие постов в последние несколько дней хочу поделиться свеженьким двухчасовым essential миксом от Nicolas Jaar. Обещаю летом гастролировать очень мало и делать посты каждый день.

One of my current new favorites brandUn DeShay released a special edition of Your Favorite Mixtape 2 which can be downloaded right here. If you’ve yet to hear of the rising talent, I suggest investing some time in his recent project, you’ll definitely be hearing his name a lot in the future.

I think it’s crazy how talented Kendrick is. With just spitting a couple of verses under three minutes he manages to raise the bar higher and higher. Kendrick has teamed up with Ubisoft as the fourth member of team ghost which are four celebrity gamers helping to promote Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Future Soldier which drops tomorrow.

Here’s what the Compton MC had to say, “When I recorded ‘War Is My Love,’ I did my best to put myself in the shoes of the Ghosts from the video game and capture that feeling of being willing to wage war and do whatever it takes to claim victory” In my opinion he did a great job! Take a listen up top.

Link: http://www.rollingstone.com/music/blogs/thread-count/video-lana-del-reys-lost-keds-ad-20120521 Lana Del Rey apparently has a gimmick that ppl were trying to exploit for years. In 2009, she used her fake personality to star in some KEDS at, being all like "I love wearing KEDS at Coney Island." Props to KEDS for this MASSIVE score, now they have the rights to LDR's image, and they can get more buzz for their brand, trying to overtake Converse as the chill loafer tennis shoes vibe for chill shoe people.

In the video, Lana Del Rey does and says Lana Del Rey ass shit, being all like "I am inspired by vintage shit" and "I love beautiful things", basically beta testing her brand before it hit a timely niche and major label record labels were able to finally exploit her as a golden buzz cow. There are so many surgery rumors buzzing around abt her appearance, u have to assume that this might be the indie equivalent of footage of Michael Jackson when he was 'still black.'

Here she is stuffing cotton candy in her mouth bc it is vintage and nostalgic for an era where everything was beautiful and nothing hurt.

And as we learned this weekend, for Keds – the no-nonsense All-American sneaker brand you probably last wore as a kid. In 2009, the brand reinvented itself by inviting up-and-coming creative talents to design a shoe for them. Grant was one of the lucky ones, though we're just now getting to see footage from the partnership.

In the promo, Grant appears chipper, amiable, and unfettered by impending controversy. She is portrayed as a bottle blonde in the iconic Coney Island amusement park, a place she cites among her favorite people-watching places. "I write about what I know," she says, as she preens in a sundress, peachy Keds and heart-shaped sunglasses while one of her early, jazzier tracks plays in the background. She compares her writing methods to Francis Ford Coppola's, referencing his famous advice, "If you sit down to write at the same time every day, the muse always knows where you are." Though the ad is about indulging in summer kicks, it's also an accidental pop artifact. You can almost see the Del Rey persona forming in front of your eyes. "I just want to do something I can be the best at," she says candidly, while she grins and munches on cotton candy.

Do u wear KEDS? Are KEDS 'back'? Do the KEDS gimmick belong to Alexis Krauss?

R u gonna vibe on KEDS now? Should LDR 'sue the eff' out of KEDS? Does she look different? Is this pre-op LDR? Do u think the Converse team that has been trying so hard to break into the alt shoe segment is PISSED at this development bc they missed out on the buzz? Should we all just go pllllayyyy arrr veeehhdedeeooohhooyyooggghhaayymmmmesss?

I honestly felt like labeling this DJ Khaled and crew, there’s so many people featured on this track! Directed by Collin Tilley, this track can be found on Khaled’s upcoming Kiss The Ring.

Tab-One of Kooley High drops off a visual for his track Caught Up featuring DJ Gonzo which can be found on Sunshine J and Tab’s upcoming album, Madflowridiculous, slated for a May 29th release. I’ve been a fan of Tab’s for awhile now, definitely excited to see what this album has in store. Video directed by Barrett Phillips.

Alexis Krauss is one of the most desirable frontwomen in indie music, earning the nickname "Sexi Lexi" Krauss. It was only a matter of time before she went solo, experimenting with her own pure pop desires, instead of letting some other dude play weird, loud guitars and have her sing soothing vibes over them, then yell sometimes. Really confusing.

Alexis finally went solo and sang a hit new song at the Billboard Music Awards. She CRUSHED IT with her voice AND her stage presence. The crowd was truly WILDNOUT. It's only a matter of time before Lexi Krauss solo is one of hte biggest pop stars in the world.

Lexi looks good, bb!

She really looks good in her famous Krauss leggings

Do u <3 Alexis's new gig? Was it time 4 her to 'spread her wings'? Does this song sound more appealing to mass audiences than Sleigh Bells? Does her new band have 2 many 'other dudes', or are there so many 'other dudes' that u forgot abt them? Is Alexis Krauss the #1 indie diva of 2k12? Will Grimes evr reach Lexi Krauss / Alice Glass status?

PREVIOUSLY Alexis Krauss shows off her BANGIN BOD in GQ Magazine. She truly is 'Sexi Lexi.'

Beach House some how went from 'vastly underrated' to 'way overrated' in a few short album cycles. Don't get me wrong, I vibe to the Beach Haus, but it can be pretty boring, especially on TV when they are just standing there trying to be deep. While there's nothing wrong with vibing to VixxLeggies, I sorta wish they at least did something stupid that was 'trying too hard' on here so there would be something to write about. Instead, they just do the Beach House thing. Not really a good sell for one of their concerts, unless you are age 13-17 and want to pretend you have 'grown up feelings' thru 'deep' music.

Maybe Beach House has taken a step back since Teen Dream... Sorta wish they decided to sound more like Katy Perry's hit single "Teenage Dream"...

Do u think Davey Letterman vibes 2 Beach House while accruing speeding tickets?

Oh Vicki... Is Vicki LeGrand the 'sexi Cousin It' of indie? Does she have the best curls in indie? Do u <3 this album, or did they regress? Has Beach House 'lost the magic' because the magic has been the same for the past 3+ years [via the same amount of time it takes a relationship/marriage to fail]? R u still in2 or totes over Beach House?

There is an old saying, "You can pull a crusty out of a dumpster, but you can't take the crusty out of the crusty, even if she's jetsetting around the world and cashing in on a six figure record deal from one of the richest labels in the world." Anyways, Grimes used to be a crustie, floating down Mississippi rivers, and whatever else Tom Sawyer-wave people do who don't want to use the internet.

In this video, she goes 2 Amoeba Records, one of the 'last standing authentic record stores in the world', gets 'gifted' some swag, then brags abt her swag. In the industry, there are various 'gifting' sessions, which basically means companies think u r relevant, so they will give u free stuff because u will wear it on stage/in photo shoots. Grimes used this opportunity to 'represent' Canada and show off her Justin Bieber fetish, then a bunch of other weird stuff that no1 will listen 2. HOnestly only watched ~1 minute of this. Can record stores survive with the help of indie artists? Is Grimes 'hamming it up' for the camera? Is she 'mad interesting'? Can u take the crustie out of a crustie, even if u give them tons of buzz bucks and real money? Did she basically 'steal' all these? do u get the feeling that she will be forced to sell these to Blockbuster/Half Price Books if she falls upon unbuzzy times? Does Grimes look good, bb? Does this look like a VH1 segment from the late 1990s that dragged on too long?

Meeeow.. Nasir graces the cover of Complex for the June / July 2012 issue. He covers many (sensitive) topics, and speaks about his upcoming 10th studio album, Life is Good, dropping July 17. Below you can catch the video interview, and for more head over to Complex for the full read.

Probably my favorite performance of the evening, thought Breezy would take the crown but this time is Ursher. He performs the dance floor jingle from his forthcoming album, Looking For Myself, hitting shelves June 12.
