METZ, Atlas Vending
METZ are a Canadian band known for rock music that's born on beer-sticky basement floors and strong enough to punch through them. Atlas Vending is a welcome (and perhaps even needed) double-barrelled blast of post-punky noise.

Machinedrum, A View Of U
The ninth solo album from electronic production Machinedrum pushes a progressive vision of club music. Blending dubstep, garage, both boom-bap and lo-fi rap, and more, A View Of U rests comfortably next to projects by artists like Flume and Mura Masa.
