RITUAL

I first heard about Iman Jordan back when he was releasing mixtapes on myspace, going by the stage name Mateo, and signed to Alicia Keys' production team, Krucial Noise, a label imprint on Interscope. His tone was immediately striking, and I can almost remember the first time I happened upon his mixtape cover of In Your Eyes by Peter Gabriel, (one of my personal favorite songs).

After years of anticipation, his debut album WITH NO DUE RESPECT is due to drop tonight (2/27/26) at midnight.

Live music logistics during the pandemic were nearly impossible, but Radiohead's Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood alongside drummer Tom Skinner found a way to creatively debut their surprise first live performance at the Glastonbury Festival's 2021 livestream. The Smile brought a parachute, neon lights and some gear in to the woods, and in our humble opinion, performed one of the coolest livestreams we've ever seen. Drum-and-bass heavy hypnotic track The Smoke has been in ro
