  Ryan Hemsworth Blends R. Kelly, Backstreet Boys, Danny Brown on Summer-Ready Mix

  May 8, 2013 – Ryan Hemsworth has returned with another beastly banger of a mix. Composed in honor of New York City's Downtown Music Festival, taking place May 10 and 11 at various Lower East Side venues, the 40-minute set is as musically diverse, relentlessly heavy and atmospherically gooped as any of the Canadian producer's other equally essential entries into the art of DJing. …

  Ryan Hemsworth and KeyBoardKid206 Share Cloud-Rap Video-Game Tributes

  March 28, 2013 – Hip-hop and the video-game scores of Yasunori Mitsuda are on a collision course lately. Earlier this month, producer 2 Mello shared Chrono Jigga, which put Jay-Z's verses over Mitsuda's music for the influential game Chrono Trigger. A couple of years ago, when Danny Brown got "higher than a pelican in heaven" on Main Attrakionz' "Cloud Skatin'," composer/producer Julian Wass (also of L.A. …

  Ryan Hemsworth Takes Lana Del Rey's 'Summertime Sadness' to the Trap

  March 7, 2013 – Sure, Lana Del Rey has split tracks with Harlem rappers and kicked it with Parisian DJs, but the woman born Lizzy Grant mostly dwells in a distorted vision of early '60s America. To be sure, the hood very much existed back then, but LDR's mythologized vision comprises WASP-y Hamptons glamor with occasional forays into the desert on the back of a Hells Angel hog. …

  Ryan Hemsworth Remixes Mikky Ekko's 'Pull Me Down' Into a Sizzurp-Spiked Shake

  November 27, 2012 – Rising Nashville concern Mikky Ekko operates in two worlds. His clean-throated R&B makes him a shoo-in for major pop collaborations (see his Rihanna duet "Stay" on her new Unapologetic album), but his loyalty to goopy post-dubstep electronica means that this RCA-signed artist is still whispered about in the underground. …

  Sole and Ryan Hemsworth Dis White Dudes, HoloPac on 'Letter to a Young Rapper'

  October 22, 2012 – "Not from the old school or from the new," begins Sole on the Ryan Hemsworth-produced "Letter to a Young Rapper." The cult indie-rap icon has a new full-length coming out November 13 — the Kickstarter-funded A Ruthless Criticism of Everything Existing — and, sure, it'd be easy to assume the former Anticon chief is a man out of time, but that's not the case.This new single finds Sole slowing his verbal roll to blast one quotable after an …

  First Spin: Ryan Hemsworth's 'Last Words' EP

  August 17, 2012 – Back In March, producer Ryan Hemsworth's mix for the website Live For the Funk singlehandedly made the beyond played-out mash-up vital again. That hour-and-then-some, kitchen-sink piling-on of music from anywhere and everywhere even took the time to sonically connects all its dots (Grimes slamming into Mariah!), featured an inspired mash-up of Three Six Mafia's "Late Nite Tip," and the Microphones' "Instrumental" off The Glow Pt. 2. …
