One of the most important figures working in music today is a man named Zane Lowe. The award-winning journalist and DJ is originally from New Zealand, but made his name working at MTV and BBC Radio 1 until he joined Apple last year to help launch Apple Music's Beats 1. Noisey met Zane in Los Angeles where he told us his story and what it’s like to continually be recognized as “the old guy who interviewed Kanye.”

Little Dragon | Paris
In a little over a month, Little Dragon will be putting out Nabuma Rubberband, their first album in three years.
The follow-up to 2011′s nearly perfect Ritual Union is shaping up to be quite a release, as heard by lead single “Klapp Klapp” and now “Paris.”
BBC Radio 1 DJ Zane Lowe put up a radio play of the song for fans to stream, and it gives us a peek at the groovy, electro-soul “Paris.” Frontwoman Yukimi Nagano will no doubt rock the song live with some great moves that it inevitably inspires.
We’ll have to wait until May 13 though for Nabuma Rubberband to be released via Loma Vista.
Pre-order the album on Itunes now and receive "Paris" and "Klapp Klapp" instantly
