  • Skrillex & Bonnaroo Share Superjam Documentary Teaser Featuring The Doors, The Grateful Dead, Zedd & More [WATCH]

    Skrillex likes to do things differently. Whether it is building crazy spaceships, creating new sounds that everyone will copy or playing superjams at Bonnaroo with a ridiculous array of guests, the "Dirty Vibe" producer is always looking forward. This past summer, in 2014, he hosted one of the infamous "Superjams" at Bonnaroo where he brought out a myriad of guests ranging from artists in hip hop, rock and soul for one of the most varied and eclectic jams the festival had seen in quite a while. Skrillex even stepped out from behind the DJ booth to pick up his guitar and play some notes, as he has been known to do at other performances and as a part of his former band, From First To Last. Bonnaroo and AT&T have teamed up to put together a new documentary about the superjam and they have just released the trailer for it.

  • Action Bronson Shares 'Actin Crazy,' Details 'Mr. Wonderful' [LISTEN]

    Queens rapper Action Bronson has shared a new track titled "Actin Crazy" from his upcoming album "Mr. Wonderful," which you can check out below — you can check out the insane yet incredible cover art above. The track, produced by 40 and Omen, is a refreshing change of pace from the typical trap beats you hear in modern hip-hop, with a woozy, constantly swelling sound reminiscent of something that MF Doom or Madlib would have done on "Madvillainy" — in simpler terms, it is great. Though Bronson shared the tracklist for "Mr. Wonderful" late last month, "Pitchfork" reports that he has revealed the featured artists on the album, which include Chance the Rapper, Meyhem Lauren, Big Body Bes, Party Supplies and Chauncey Sherod. In addition, Mark Ronson, The Alchemist and Noah "40" Shebib are among those contributing production. You can check out Action Bronson's "Actin Crazy" here:
