Dazed Out



That summer daze is coming on strong. The weeks are starting to fly by and the weekends are melting into one happy mess of a time. With the right mix of glo-fi/dreamwave deliciousness, hip hop hotness and untzy radness, you are sure to start to understand where I'm going with this...

Teen Daze is quite the little mystery. I have read that they are from Vancouver and that's about all is really out there about them. They produce some very heady dreamwave beats that will melt you. They are coming out with an album pretty soon, but until then, check out these two jams.


Video:



Along those same lines is this awesome track from Untz favorite, Washed Out. It features Caroline Polachek from Chairlift in the second half of the song, where she comes in with an incredibly sexy spoken word/rap verse that works perfectly in this wonderful track.


This song samples the phenomenal "Dance Yrslf Clean" from LCD Soundsystem's new album. The track is given a twist as Kid Cudi, Chip Tha Ripper and Christian Bale (albeit unintentionally) all lend a hand in making this song one of the potential anthems of the summer.


You want to hate Hoodie Allen, the U-Penn, whiteboy, hip-hop duo, but they are legit. This song samples Marina & the Diamonds and the flow has the cadence of a mix between Chiddy Bang and a little bit of Project Pat (one of my favorite all time rappers). Check it out, you'll probably dig it, too.


Shabazz Palaces is run by a guy named Palaceers Lazaro, but has several other members. Lazaro, however, is not letting anybody know who those people are. Not even a picture of the group is out there, and thus the mystery behind this Seattle-based avant-rap group makes them even more intriguing. I hope you enjoy this amazingly long-named track of theirs.


I have posted HEALTH and I have posted Javelin, but together? I thought such a glorious day would never come, but indeed it has! This song is so, so dope and makes for a great summer dance track.


P.S. Hold on to your hats suckas, the Untzological Society is making big moves that will be sure to blow your minds!
