Everyone needs a little gangster rap in their life, and few do it better than Philadelphia’s Freeway.  Likewise, few rap producers are bringing better beats to the table than G-Unit producer Jake One.  Couple these points with the fact that Freeway has the best beard in rap music today (mine’s getting there), and you’ve got [...]

It’s been awhile since we had any new twelve inch tunes from Zomby, and it will be a while still, since this is just another remix. Just another remix is kind of selling it short though. It’s a remix of a Martyn tune, backed with another mix from one of my favorite producers of 2009 [...]

Well I probably would not have said anything about this, even though I am pretty excited for it. Sometimes we just like to keep all these great dubstep releases to ourselves. Yeah I know, we are selfish like that. However, a reader pointed out our glaring error, and now we are bound by honor to [...]

Kompakt returns with it’s long running and much beloved ambient series, offering a new slab of blissed out vinyl for the year 2010. There really could not be a more fitting title than Pop Ambient, this is what US Top 40 would sound like if the entire country were hooked up to a lithium drip. [...]

Prosthetic Records has reissued the out-of-print Worship the Witch EP from heavy-metal heroes Skeletonwitch. What’s more, they’ve reissued it on vinyl. Ten inches of vinyl, even. So next time you whip your ten-inch out for that Brooklyn hipster gal from Ohio that you’ve been courting, she can have her pick of yellow, blue or black [...]

I’ve pretty much been pacing the room like a maniac waiting for the vinyl release of Oh No’s “Dr No’s Ethiopium”, and it looks like I can finally relax.  Here’s the rundown:  Oh No (Madlib’s brother) made this record with help from Egon’s massive record collection.  It was “inspired-by and sampled-from rare 60′s and 70′s [...]

Sadly, Broken Bells went ultra-deluxe with the CD release of their new album, but left the vinyl version looking pretty standard.  That being said, this is still a great album, and one well worth owning on a high-quality piece of wax.  Broken Bells is James Mercer of the Shins and DJ Danger Mouse.  They make [...]

One of the only emo-ish bands (it’s arguable if they’re really even an emo band or not) we can stomach here at OMGVinyl has just reissued their two full-length albums on vinyl.  Circa Survive will win over even the hardest emo-haters with their catchy hooks, powerful guitars, and unique vocal style.  Their debut LP, “Juturna”, [...]

Thrill Jockey just dropped a bomb of new vinyl releases.  We stand by our statement that they are one of the best labels in the world, and you’re about to see why.  The first release is “Boca Negra”, the new LP from Chicago Underground Duo.  If you’re not familiar, the Chicago Underground family has been [...]

Sometimes we get so wrapped up in the latest ultra-limited drone and pscych releases that we forget people also like halfway-popular, halfway-listenable indie rock.  Austin’s Spoon are one of the best bands still playing rock and roll that you can share with your co-workers.  Their newest record, “Transference”, is among their best output ever.  It’s [...]
