A very talented artist from New Zealand. I met Beach Boy back in 2013 and since then it has been amazing to watch him grow. He’s still super low key but his product is getting better and better with age and I feel any day now someone that is in some sort of position to elevate his talent more is about to come. But in the meantime I love it that he’s underground, he’s doing his thing! It’s hard to find original good content with fuck all views these days haha here is one of his new videos below and I believe that his new album will be out mid July which I can’t wait for. BEACH BOY!!! Turn that shit up and share it with ya neighbors. Oh yeah he also produces, masters and edits all his work. Unreal!

Been enjoying this guy's music a lot recently. His song Seasons recently blew up on TikTok and kinda gave him his big break. I had the honor of meeting him when I helped my friends produce a show for him and got to photograph him at said show (see pic below). He walked in and was so sweet to everyone helping out. It was so refreshing seeing someone so authentic in the music scene, given that his opener was lowk a douchebag... that's a story for later. ANYWAYS really recommend listening to his songs if you're into Imogen Heap, Blood Orange, or kinda electronic sound. Some of my favs are Seasons, Pretend Friend, and Say what you mean.

I know all these other recs were calming and mindful, but I thought I would put this out there cause I’m crazy obsessed. I’ve been his BIGGEST fan for a couple of years now, and knowing there’s more music coming up is the light of my life. If you have a minute, go listen to his new song basic being basic. If you have more than just a minute I would recommend listening to his other albums twenty twenty, and decide. On a broader note, go find new music! A fresh playlist always cheers me up.

I think this guy may be my new favorite artist. Talented as hell. I appreciate when an artist is involved with every step of the music-making process, down to the visuals even. Produced, mixed, mastered and performed all by one person. Huge fan of his production and how it blends elements of WWE entrance theme style rock music, 80s hip hop, obscure samples from the internet, grimy ass drums, R&B, etc. The list goes on. Anytime a new song or album drops I can expect nothing but pure ear candy that scratches that hard to reach itch in my brain. The only other artist that really does that for me is Death Grips but they can be a bit overstimulating and hard to listen to at times I won’t lie. His merch goes hard and his website design is cool as hell too.
He dropped a “Valentine’s Day ‘25 Freestyle” that’s been in constant rotation for me, and I recently treated myself to the Director’s Cut Vinyl of his last release for my birthday. Good shit!

hahah fuck They are so nerdy, tech and futuristic I love it! It’s the best when the people riding them have the full protective body armor Batman looking kit on. If they have the flashing lights and the JBL booming is the icing on the cake. Would love to give one a go one day but that shit low key gets me nervous, the amount of potholes I come across on my bike a day I couldn’t imagine not swerving a pot hole on one of those things. RIP it would be! Oh and speaking of mobility on the streets, the dirt bike gangs are the noise of summer! Don’t really have much more to say about them but I love it when I hear them and then when they pop those wheelies chaaahoooo hahah

Good cuts, good quality, good shit all around really. This is a new brand that is made in the fashion district of NYC that is currently making amazing blank t-shirts. All made with organic cotton that is farmed in the USA. The current shape is a little short for me personally but I heard through the grapevine there is more of a classic fit coming out soon. It’s hard to do basic stuff well and FM669 is done extremely well. Pass on the good news to your mates :)

I don’t even wear jewelry but 27Mollys that is based in Melbourne, Australia is sick and makes me want to wear it. All pieces are hand made to order by founder Brent Paye who’s an absolute legend. The time and love put into each piece really stands out, and the aesthetic is spot on. Love this shit! Keep up the good work Brent :)
