Hailing from NYC, rapper SHIRT is now relocated to Europe but his debut LP “PURE BEAUTY” will be released on Nashville’s Jack White-owned label Third Man Records. It will actually be the first hip-hop album on this independent label. The album is set to be inspired by the profound artwork of conceptual artist John Baldessari.

On the video of San Holo-produced single “Flight Home”, which was directed by SHIRT and Dave Svedosh, the rapper is taking us on the ride through Manhattan, Broadway, and the Lower East Side. From the top of a truck, he also honors the streetware brands Nike and Adidas by exposing some graffiti artwork. As SHIRT detailed:

[su_quote]This was done without Nike or Adidas permission or consent but with the utmost respect. This is about culture and love, and being able to take flights home.[/su_quote]

SHIRT‘s debut album “PURE BEAUTY” is due out on February 9 via THIRD MAN RECORDS

It’s awesome to see big time artists branching out to new styles without using them as a point of departure. “I Still See Your Face” includes everything we know and love about San Holo and more – chirpy leads, jubilant melodies, roaring low end and everything in between; he even introduced his own vocals for the first time. About the track, the artist stated:

[su_quote]Last year, I wrote this song on one of the many hotel beds I sleep in on tour,” he writes in an emailed statement. “I recorded some demo vocals on my noisy Macbook microphone, thinking I would find a good vocalist later in the process to finish the song with. Yet for some reason these first crappy recordings sounded so right on this song, I decided to keep my own vocals on it this time.[/su_quote]

Kick back with San Holo‘s newest single, and don’t forget to keep up with him on SoundCloud, Facebook, and Twitter and listen to the audio below.

In it, DROELOE‘s stylistic use of rolling pads permeate with San Holo‘s chirping synth-work while CUT_‘s vocals toil throughout. CUT_‘s graceful verses and haunting melodies push the song across the line, encouraging multiple plays for full satisfaction.

DROELOE have proven to be one of the most creative and experimental of all the artists on the bitbird roster and in the vast world of dance music in general. Given all the shortcuts in the new age of music production, it is easy for artists to blend in with the lot; however DROELOE seem to always be ten steps ahead of the rest.

In recent years, DROELOE have become a staple in the forthcoming wave of dance producers by providing a slew of outstanding singles, as well as remixes for the likes of San Holo, WRLD, FATHERDUDE and more.
