The collaborative effort sees London producer Épais and Florida rapper Rezza joining forces for a banger. ‘Fire’ is an aptly titled record that opens with smooth bars from Rezza and a bouncy westcoast feel. As his verse concludes, the track…

OWSLA producer Yogi is back with a fresh sound. Well known for his gritty and hard-hitting tendencies (‘Burial,’ ‘Siri,’) Yogi takes a different approach on ‘Blow You Up.’ With assistance from AlunaGeorge and newcomers Less Is Moore, they craft an infectious warm weather anthem.

Crenshaw is a new project from house & techno legend and DIRTYBIRD co-founder Claude Von Stroke (it’s also his real name). The direction of the project is something between instrumental hip-hop and futuristic electronic…
