Countdown to Coachella!


Weekend one of Coachella is only 86 days away so we've decided to highlight artists you may or may not know of until then! Where else will you be able to see Outkast, Nas, Kid Cudi, Pharrell, Lana Del Rey, and many more amazing artists all in one weekend?! Coachella is always making the impossible happen and we cannot wait to experience it. Last year Snoop was able to perform with a Tupac hologram and this year we're getting a much needed Outkast reunion. It just keeps getting better and better.

In light of this, we wanted to promote one of our favorite "Coachella Collabs" from Big Boi and Swedish Trip Hop band, Little Dragon. 


Big Boi and Little Dragon

Their collaboration took place in 2012 on Big Boi's solo album 'Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors'. With this latest album we were extremely happy to find Little Dragon featured on not just one, but 3 melodic tracks:

'Thom Petite' a bass heavy joint christened by lead singer, Yukimi's unique voice, exemplifies why Little Dragon continues to be a favorite band to collaborate with. 


'High Res' is a poppy, melodic tune that has enough boom to complement the versatile flow of Big Boi.


'Descending' is more of a airy, soft and heartfelt track that nicely blends guitar melodies and bass creating the perfect canvas for soulful verses from Big Boi and Yukimi. 





The dreamy band would have racked up 4 tracks on the album but 'Mama Told Me' which features Kelly Rowland couldn't be finalized for business reasons that remain unknown. However, it was nothing personal so we can look forward to seeing future collaborations. Who knows we may even see an Oukast and Little Dragon collaboration in the near future, fingers crossed! 

Big Boi and Yukimi 

Either way we can not wait to see both AMAZING groups and many more Artists, bring down the house at Cochella 2014! 

See Little Dragon and Big Boi perform 'Mama Told Me' for Fader Magazine in Austin,Texas.
