Stream Diamond District’s ‘March On Washington Redux’ LP
Diamond District dropped the full stream of their March On Washington Redux LP today. The 13-track collection from Uptown XO, yU and Oddisee features a reworking of their album, March On Washington (released just a few months ago, and including some of their best marathon music) by such producers as Large Professor, Apollo Brown, and Nottz. The lyrics are kept in tact while tracks like “Working Weekends” (remixed by Large Pro) re-captures the mood of these times, and cuts like “Ain’t Over” smooth out the urgency of the original (this one done with a touch of Black Milk).
Mello Music Group has also made it available for purchase via iTunes (support that).—Sia Tiambi

Stream D’Angelo And The Vanguard’s ‘Black Messiah’ Album
The year 2000 feels like a lifetime ago. The world was much different from how it is today. There were no iPhones, no Twitter, no Facebook, and AIM was the way to communicate with your friends. The year 2000 was also the last time D’Angelo dropped an album. Until today. D’Angelo is back with his latest album, entitled Black Messiah. The album, which was first heard at an exclusive listening party in New York yesterday (Dec. 15), features heavy collaboration from fellow Soulquarians Q-Tip and ?uestlove.
The 12-track album features the neo-soul sound that so many artist strive for, but not many can replicate. D’Angelo is back. We predict a spike in the amount of babies born in September 2015. Check out the album stream below, and purchase the album on iTunes here.

Oyinda | Restless
New York based singer/songwriter/producer Oyinda made her official EP debut this week with the release of Before the Fall. “Each song explores the bittersweet aspects of experience. It marks the moment when I realized I had changed,” Oyinda told Billboard. Of the four tracks on the self-produced EP, “Restless” is the only one we hadn’t previously heard, and feels both timeless and vital as it vividly details feelings of anxiety and fear. Amidst rapid drums and thunderous guitars, the 22-year-old observes “Your mind is restless,/You’re feeling anxious,/You’re running rapid into the dark of your eyes.” With imagistic lines and a storm-like production of winding synths and echoes, “Restless” further proves Oyinda is a highly gifted lyricist with a great ear for palpable, darkly vibrant sounds. Listen to the song below, which premiered on Billboard. Before the Fall is available to purchase on iTunes and stream on Spotify now. Oyinda performs this Saturday, November 15th, at Baby’s All Right in Brooklyn. Follow Oyinda on facebook, twitter, and soundcloud.

12 MUSIC TECH STARTUPS TO KEEP ON YOUR RADAR
Digital music ventures are nothing new to the tech scene. Napster established the movement in the late ‘90s, Apple followed suit with iTunes, and nowadays, we’ve witnessed upstarters like Rap Genius and Spotify dominate the landscape, which in turn has sparked massive growth in music startups. More and more of them continue to emerge, each one boasting the confidence to revolutionize the way we create, listen to, and share our music with the world. Some are creating new opportunities for up-and-coming artists to gain notoriety, whereas others are streamlining the process of how we consume our musical tastings. From crowdsourcing platforms to music-streaming aggregators, these are the music tech startups to keep on your radar.
NAGUAL SOUNDS
Transforming your body into a musical instrument, Nagual Sounds tracks gestural movements on a 3D camera and coverts that data into music. And it’s all done in real time. It’s capable of generating harmonies, melodies, and rhythms by assigning sound elements to certain parts of the body. Word is the technology is also being pushed to encourage disabled users to create music as well.
SPLICE
Look at Splice as an on-demand music studio. The platform creates a directory on a user’s computer, and then automatically saves creations and dependent sample files in the cloud. This in turn allows musicians to edit their work whenever they want online. Collaborators can share work as well by inserting their email address into the project creator.
JUKELY
The social concert app groups friends together based on their musical tastes and recommends shows to check out in their area. It grabs all data from your music apps to create an algorithm that pairs you with other potential matches. From there, users can communicate and share their favorite acts, and even book concerts together directly from the app. Notifications are also present, recommending live music shows and suggesting other friends to attend with.
MOODSNAP
Take a look at the “world’s first” photo playlist app. Uniquely programmed, Moodsnap caters to a person’s musical preferences by devising music stations based on emotive photographs. Pull up a New Year’s photo and expect Top 40 radio, or scroll through your somber selfies and take in nothing but Sam Smith songs. Upon logging in through Spotify, you’ll be met with a series of photos from a stream that can be selected to pull up a music player with an aggregated playlist. Mood music!
INDILOOP
Ever hear a record and think to yourself, what if it was remixed with this specific beat, loop, or sample? Indiloop empowers users to play DJ by letting them create mash-ups of their favorite tracks. A time stretching algorithm is used to blend songs together and produce mixes, eliminating the need for ProTools and other digital audio workstations. Call it the Instagram of music programs.
TOMAHAWK
Switching between streaming services and transferring playlists isn’t cool. This open-source media player becomes your all-in-one music hub by integrating all tunes, online and offline, into one place. Pretty much everything on your computer as well as songs and playlists from other outlets like Rdio, Spotify, and YouTube are fair game. Sharing the same network with others will let you connect to their libraries. Users can embed the player into blogs or digital promos, too.
SOUNDKEEP
An open-source music community, Soundkeep gives users the opportunity to upload their own samples and stems for feedback purposes. That means having a track evaluated by several listeners before laying down any final details. In addition, you can download, share, and utilize other people’s samples for personal use. The program will backup and store each version of a track, allowing users to revert back to a previous version.
EARBITS
Different than your average Pandora or Spotify clone, this commercial free music streaming service focuses solely on promoting independent artists. Musicians are blessed with ad free space to promote a variety of services, including music, live show info, and merchandise. The service even features a currency system that rewards users with what it calls Groovies for supporting artists, which can be cashed in for prizes. Recently securing a new round of funding, the company is back up and running.
GIGIT
Indie bands looking to get some gigs under their belt have a platform to call their own. Gigit is a digital booking service that helps undiscovered talent earn their stage performing stripes. Artists can search for paid gigs from major festivals to office parties without the need of a manager. On the other side, event planners can hire popular local acts for upcoming parties.
BOP.FM
The music streaming aggregator serves as a remote control for your music apps by grabbing tunes from other popular sources like Beats, Rdio, Soundcloud, Spotify, and YouTube. It does so by automatically detecting what services are available, making songs accessible to a user no matter their location or subscription. You also have the option to import playlists and share them across Facebook, Twitter or other platforms. Additionally, Bop.fm offers curated playlists made by verified artists, providing insight on what Tiesto and other popular acts are bumping these days.
MUZOOKA
A cross-platform music discovery tool, Muzooka basically links independent artists with music producers through crowdsourcing. Musicians can upload and share their music library with listeners and industry execs, increasing their exposure. Standard users have access to create streaming playlists and share tracks on social media. Furthermore, aspiring bands can make money selling their music on the service.
SOFAR SOUNDS
This music discovery community invites performers to your living room for a more intimate listening experience. Sofar Sounds is a private gig service that curates live concerts in unique spaces. Big-name artists and emerging acts can list themselves for hire and work a small crowd for a substantial payday. Local bands are tearing it up on here at the moment, so sign up A.S.A.P

10 AMAZING MUSIC PRODUCTION APPS TO MAKE BEATS ON THE GO
WRITTEN BY: ALEX BRACETTI/GreenLabel
10 AMAZING MUSIC PRODUCTION APPS TO MAKE BEATS ON THE GO
While serving as our primary communication tool, smartphones have also allowed us to broaden our musical palettes through the use of iTunes and streaming services like Pandora and Spotify. Recognizing the raw power of these portable devices, people are now using them for more than just listening to music. They’re creating beats and dope ones at that. The App Store and Google Play are swamped with some insanely powerful music-making apps, placing a live recording studio at the fingertips of DJs and producers. Mixing tracks on a desktop or laptop with Serato is now a thing of the past. Get with the future, and check out these 10 music production apps to make beats on the go.
DJAY 2 FOR IOS - $2.00
Ditch the turntables for this virtual DJ interface, which boasts enough music-making features on its attractive, yet tiny system to make some serious noise. Djay 2 manages to do the simple things well, like map the grooves of a vinyl record and load it into the program with colored waveforms informing users where to start a transition. Its patented “Perfect Sync” technology automatically locks in beats to accommodate simpler mixing. A digital scratchboard mated with easy-to-use controls makes it a must for up-and-coming beat makers.
RD4-GROOVEBOX FOR IOS - FREE
Groovebox’s latest update welcomes virtual analog synthesizers and drum machines to your iPhone screen. Take advantage of several audio effects like two-effect chaining and X/Y fielding for each effect, all through multi-touch controls. In addition, program beats using 10 classic drum kits, including 808, 909 and CR-78, to deliver crazy snares and striking percussions. Worried about losing all your loops from the previous version? The app can also import the collection from RD3.
GARAGEBAND FOR IOS - FREE
Apple’s official recording studio comes in mobile form and carries over most of the same unique facets from its Mac counterpart. The freedom to loop any series of instruments on the iPhone’s touchscreen is at your disposal. There are also options to tweak the chords, temp, and time signatures for each original creation. Record up to eight tracks per song while testing audio effects and samples.
MUSYC FOR IOS - FREE
A sandbox music creator Musyc feels more like a video game, but bears the tools to produce some high quality sounds. Backed by an “ultra-realistic physical engine,” users can draw various shapes on the canvas to create different tones and add different effects into the mix, including delays, overdrives, and reverbs. You can record real-time audio and transfer over compressed files from DropBox, iTunes, SoundCloud, or email. It’s intuitive enough for any amateur or professional to easily pick up.
G-STOMPER BEAT STUDIO FOR ANDROID - $8.00
Looking to explore your inner Daft Punk? This portable beat-making program is optimized for electronic live performances, and comes equipped with an array of grid sequencers to produce hot melodies. Delve inside to discover over 24 drum patterns, an effect rack, and other cool audio effects. Create sounds on the move at faster rates than on a mobile synthesizer.
SUNVOX FOR IOS AND ANDROID - $6.00
This novice, retro-inspired sequencer app promotes a solid tool set to create synth-based music. SunVox supports a drag-and-drop interface that makes it insanely easy to shift and set sound effects, filters, and tones. Musicians have the luxury of linking modules together to create effects chains and tonal patterns. The ability to work with several sound generators and utilize a sampling option is available as well.
FIGURE FOR IOS - $1.00
The beauty behind Figure is it doesn’t require any music knowledge to use. You have the ability to create harmonies and melodies on the app’s three-grid interface, which displays options for bass, drums, and melody. From there, the software generates several resonances from bass lines to synth melodies. EDM traditionalists should feel in their comfort zone with this one.
POCKETBAND LITE FOR ANDROID - FREE
A cloud-based music tool with a focus on sharing is a pretty rad idea. Pocketband Lite keeps interaction simple by offering a tutorial to get more familiarized with the music creation process. The opportunity is there to mix other people’s original soundscapes with different instruments, remixing their jams for your personal pleasure. Users are free to export any creations from the community website and convert them into MP3 files. All audio rendering is done in the cloud, delivering uncompromised finished mixes.
NANOLOOP FOR IOS AND ANDROID - $4.00
A sampler, sequencer, and synthesizer packaged into one bundle, Nanoloop serves as an all-in-one music system for your smartphone. Work with six channels for each musical component, and experiment with up to eight patterns and two extra instrument channels. There are also options to load samples from an SD card and re-sample sounds. As a bonus, it comes pre-loaded with several projects to inspire your next major beat.
SPC - MUSIC DRUM PAD FOR ANDROID - $5.00
Revered as one of the top Android apps for beat programming and sampling, SPC can play loops and let people sequence them on its 16-pad multi-touch main screen.

While serving as our primary communication tool, smartphones have also allowed us to broaden our musical palettes through the use of iTunes and streaming services like Pandora and Spotify. Recognizing the raw power of these portable devices, people are now using them for more than just listening to music. They’re creating beats and dope ones at that. The App Store and Google Play are swamped with some insanely powerful music-making apps, placing a live recording studio at the fingertips of DJs and producers. Mixing tracks on a desktop or laptop with Serato is now a thing of the past. Get with the future, and check out these 10 music production apps to make beats on the go.
DJAY 2 FOR IOS - $2.00
Ditch the turntables for this virtual DJ interface, which boasts enough music-making features on its attractive, yet tiny system to make some serious noise. Djay 2 manages to do the simple things well, like map the grooves of a vinyl record and load it into the program with colored waveforms informing users where to start a transition. Its patented “Perfect Sync” technology automatically locks in beats to accommodate simpler mixing. A digital scratchboard mated with easy-to-use controls makes it a must for up-and-coming beat makers.
RD4-GROOVEBOX FOR IOS - FREE
Groovebox’s latest update welcomes virtual analog synthesizers and drum machines to your iPhone screen.

In addition, program beats using 10 classic drum kits, including 808, 909 and CR-78, to deliver crazy snares and striking percussions. Worried about losing all your loops from the previous version? The app can also import the collection from RD3.
GARAGEBAND FOR IOS - FREE
Apple’s official recording studio comes in mobile form and carries over most of the same unique facets from its Mac counterpart. The freedom to loop any series of instruments on the iPhone’s touchscreen is at your disposal. There are also options to tweak the chords, temp, and time signatures for each original creation. Record up to eight tracks per song while testing audio effects and samples.
MUSYC FOR IOS - FREE
A sandbox music creator Musyc feels more like a video game, but bears the tools to produce some high quality sounds. Backed by an “ultra-realistic physical engine,” users can draw various shapes on the canvas to create different tones and add different effects into the mix, including delays, overdrives, and reverbs. You can record real-time audio and transfer over compressed files from DropBox, iTunes, SoundCloud, or email. It’s intuitive enough for any amateur or professional to easily pick up.

This novice, retro-inspired sequencer app promotes a solid tool set to create synth-based music. SunVox supports a drag-and-drop interface that makes it insanely easy to shift and set sound effects, filters, and tones. Musicians have the luxury of linking modules together to create effects chains and tonal patterns. The ability to work with several sound generators and utilize a sampling option is available as well.
FIGURE FOR IOS - $1.00
The beauty behind Figure is it doesn’t require any music knowledge to use. You have the ability to create harmonies and melodies on the app’s three-grid interface, which displays options for bass, drums, and melody. From there, the software generates several resonances from bass lines to synth melodies. EDM traditionalists should feel in their comfort zone with this one.
POCKETBAND LITE FOR ANDROID - FREE
A cloud-based music tool with a focus on sharing is a pretty rad idea. Pocketband Lite keeps interaction simple by offering a tutorial to get more familiarized with the music creation process. The opportunity is there to mix other people’s original soundscapes with different instruments, remixing their jams for your personal pleasure. Users are free to export any creations from the community website and convert them into MP3 files. All audio rendering is done in the cloud, delivering uncompromised finished mixes.

Doja Cat | Purrr! | EP
Doja Cat Drops Her New EP Purrr!
Doja Cat first caught our ears with “So High,” an eastern-influenced ode to the drug called love. Today, the Los Angeles singer releases her debut EP Purrr!, featuring a new relaxed standout “Control,” a breezy seaside joyride built on slow builds and wavy echoes. The EP features production from MNDSGN, and other aspirational LA beat nerds we’re checking for. Fans of Kali Uchis will dig Doja’s spacey singing style, but its when she dips into straight-laced rap that her project gets particularly ambitious. Stream her new EP below or cop it on iTunes today.
