The Lowdown - This Week's XLR8R Top 10 with Actress, Sampha, Feadz, and More Posted: 24 Jan 2014 12:00 PM PST Throughout the week, a whole lot of material gets posted here on XLR8R. And while we know—and love—that some hardcore readers will eagerly pour over every single news story, interview, podcast, video, and MP3 download that appears on the site, we also realize that for most people, it's impossible to see everything, which means that some quality XLR8R content is likely to get missed in the hustle and bustle of everyone's daily lives.

Stream a New Track from Actress' 'Ghettoville' LP Posted: 22 Jan 2014 03:15 PM PST Though we here at XLR8R HQ were elated to have Werkdiscs label boss and resident Ninja Tune experimentalist Actress helm this week's exclusive podcast, the mix was noticeably devoid of the DJ/producer born Darren Cunningham's own productions. The London artist didn't tease a single clip from his upcoming Ghettoville album throughout the tracklist, but he's since made up for that lack of new material, allowing one of the record's dense and mesmerizing cuts to be streamed in full. read more
