AUDIO BUZZ: kanye west feat sia and vic mensa - wolves

kanye west feat sia and vic mensa - wolves
as much as i'm not a fan of kanye, you gotta give it up to the man that he comes up with interesting music that is both experimental and aural friendly at the same time. this hypnotic piece is made all the more interesting with sia as the centerpiece of this interesting solemn exercise.

VIDEO PREMIERE!: neneh cherry feat robyn - out of the black

neneh cherry feat robyn - out of the black
as much as i LOVE both these women, i have to say that their collaboration kind of leaves me lukewarm. i understand that her experimental new album 'blank project' is looking to deconstruct the formats of dance and pop, but in the case of this song, all i hear is dissonance and post dance free style. maybe it's just too ahead of it's time for my ears... still love these two women though!

INDIE DANCE MIX: zhala & robyn - prophet (live @ swedish grammis) / efter livet

calling her music a religious rave, zhala is a swedish musical genius/weirdo (depending on your tastes) that recently signed onto robyn's konichiwa records. the songs are interesting to say the least and i'm kind of still not quite sure if i like her or not. but it's worth a listen. check out zhala's two current compositions to the masses. one, which made it's world premiere on the swedish grammis (featuring label boss robyn), the other a track from her new EP. all wackadoo, all something you need to experience!

WONGIE VIDEO OF THE WEEK: bjork - mutual core

bjork - mutual core
yeah... bjork has left the concept of song structure out the window for a few years now. what she does continue to do brilliantly is the marriage of technology and imagery into an artform; making her more of an artist than singer these days. i couldn't take my eyes off this andrew thomas huang piece commissioned by the LA museum of contemporary art (mixing puppetry and digital effects is SO cool yo!). genius or whacked out, whatever it is, you can't take your eyes off it!
take a look at the making of this incredible video
