Data Howler – Estate/Black Swans Single

I have to say Data Howler’s drastic change in artistic direction is not so much unexpected, but certainly surprising. According to Objektiv One Data Howler, the identity shift for both music and graphic design projects comes after a revelation six months ago and basic boredom with the genre he was slowly becoming popular in. Either way, the two new tracks from the newly dubbed Data Howler give listeners a quick glimpse into what the artist is now about. I personally hope he does not completely abandon hip-hop, but go explore a bit and come back and switch it up for everyone. Either way, check out his new tracks as Data Howler.

Objektiv One – Neon Trash EP

Man, this mofo Objektiv One drops some serious mash ups. This round brings us some Empire of the Sun, Ke$ha, Ratatat, and Drake. Download them over at Potholes in my Blog.

Gotta give it up to Dallas based producer/graphic artist Objektiv One for staying busy and staying hungry. This time around he teams up with Jabee for a set of love lost inspired tracks.

From Objektiv One and Jabee

The Valentine’s Day EP: The Remixes was conceived by Objektiv One and Jabee as a way to vent over lost loves on Valentine’s Day. Somewhat tongue in cheek, but in many ways true to heart and honest.

I missed this earlier this week, shame on me. A very dope, dusty, spacey, sometimes8-bit (but not too chip tuney) EP from Dallas’s Juno Complex. If I had to call it something, it would be an “8-bit-The Avalanche’s-Since-I-Left-You.” Not to hype it too much though, it’s only 7 tracks and doesn’t have the awesome sequencing that Since I Left You had, but than again, what does? Some people might be tired of the chip tunes, but this never veers into full Miyamoto-mode and it’s more than worth checking out. Download it now.

Dallas’s funked out supergroup is back with more of their own brand of genre mixing hip-hop/pop/funk/soul. PPT seems to be one of the most consistent and hardest working groups in music, with a sound that can only come from these three people. Personally, I don’t think people have figured out what to make of the group just yet. By not being able to place the group into one genre, I’m sure some music fans might blow it off as too this, or too that, which is a shame. But trust me, a group of self proclaimed weirdos from Dallas with yellow submarine inspired cover art, dropping Mr. Bean references and dressing in plaid suits really is not as weird as it initially sounds…or maybe it is and that’s why the group is so damn good.

Their new album Denglish is available now on Idol Records. You can get it on iTunes or through the Idol Records store.
