Lotus premieres its new video for "Blacklight Sunflare" from their recently released self-titled album. It takes you through the strains and realities of a relationship set to the track, which Drum Magazine describes as "a hoedown between Crystal Method and Dick Dale." Catch Lotus as they continue their fall headline tour in October with openers Keys N Krates on most dates.

In anticipation for the launch of our new monthly party, Redirekt with resident DJ Vikter Duplaix, last week we shared a super fresh free podcast that many of us have been enjoying. The time is nearing rapidly.

You've been practicing your dance moves in your living room like the disciplined partier you are, right? We have and already bumped over a few office chairs in the process - but, hey. Bask in that unrestrained anticipatory joy just a bit longer because tomorrow is the night and the level is only going up! We absolutely cannot wait.

Earlier this month we shared the video for When Saints Go Machine's "Parix," and today we have a pretty freaking amazing live performance of the same track. Not only is the video gorgeous, the mood is heightened with the echoey acoustics, the intricacies of the piercing production, and the haunting sound of the leading vocalist's quivering song.

Brooklyn's own, The Stuyvesants, are back with their second album! Called The Finer Things, the album consists of parts one and two, each with twenty tracks to groove to - the homies are on fire!

The mood is often cinematic and like its predecessor, Brooklyn's Finest, it makes for perfect background music to pretty much any occasion. Us? We're picturing ourselves inside a vintage romance film on an epic car ride at dusk.

As always, the project is for the people and for free! Stream and download below - find the Volume 2 stream after the jump.

And for those of you that fancy The Stuyvesants' apparel designs like we do, they have their OG designs along with a couple new ones available at their shop, including sweatshirts for the fall!
