So what do we have here? Just another mysterious/anonymous/spooky Soundcloud DJ? Well, not quite. Yes on the mysterious part but our man Unknown is actually quite good. So good that music website Pitchfork Media debuted his/her/its new Paris 3 A.M. as if it were underwater track “I Cry” today. You can give “I Cry” a spin below.

Georgia band Crass Mammoth preview “Dear Violet” from their forthcoming EP “Ef En Eu”. “Dear Violet” both melodically and instrumentally is very raw & immediate, visceral. Each strum, each tap of the fingerboard, each chord shape movement sucks straight to your inside. There’s an obvious bit of influence here in the tune especially of 90’s bands like Alice in Chains & Stone Temple Pilots; almost (and we mean this in a very complimentary way) to the extent that “Dear Violet” is a lost hit from the alt rock radio era. The “Ef En Eu” EP is out June 4th.

Funkmaster Flex lets loose another burner from French’s upcoming Excuse My French LP with “We Go Wherever We Want”. Not only does the track sample Wu-Tang’s classic ’95 track “Ice Cream”, FM gets some assistance from Wu Man Chef in the form of a fresh sixteen bars. French’s flow is the same here as it is on just about every track he’s on (not that we’re complaining necessarily); you could put these rhymes over “Pop That”, “Shot Caller”, “Freaks” w/e and probably have a cool “mash-up”. R&B’s most influential receding hairline Ne-Yo brings his usual high flying panache to the hook. Excuse My French is due May 21st

Scottish alt rockers Primal Scream recently dropped their tenth studio album More Light on their own label, First International. Their song “Invisible City” shows that the band has regained an energy that we’ve been missing from the band since 2006’s Riot City Blues. Primal Scream will perform a much anticipated set at this year’s Glastonbury festival. Don’t miss it. By Bruce Rave

Shawty is a dime plus 99. German producer IAMNOBODI’s soft subtle remix of Amel Larrieux is that R&B ish you’ve been waiting your whole life for. Say you will, girl, say you will.

“Feeling Bad”, from the London-based duo of Jimmy Casson & Alfie Smith, sounds like the best late night, dusty, star-light, tumbleweed-rolling-by, Vegas lights building their beam in the distance road trip you’ve ever been on; that or just a really good rock and roll tune. Get your tumbleweed game on below with Men’s Adventures.

The soulful half-time “Is This How You Feel?” by Aussie act The Preatures, has equal parts Uncle Bruce’s “I’m On Fire”, The xx, and early Pretenders among the components of its DNA. The Preatures are your new favorite band, we promise.

Mont Brown graces us with some new high quality stripper music, right in time for the summer. The bounce on these particular tracks is for dat ass and I like it that way. It’s always more fun to hear that the underdog is balling because it [Mont] represents the grind. Featured Al 1 Thing wins with the rapper/singer combination, even in these cliche times; his continually elevating bars showcase that he’s much more than just cute for girls. I also love that Pace-O Beats is a producer with quality songwriting ability, not the common beat-maker who wishes he was so. By Teddy Pendergrass
