[Watch] Action Bronson - "Steve Wynn" (Official Video)
"Steve Wynn," the latest single off of Action Bronson and Partie Supplies' collaborative mixtape Blue Chips (which was released last March), is getting the visual treatment, but not in the way you might have expected. With all the recent memes and news stories revolving around the use of bath salts and the resulting zombie-like results, Bronson and Party Supplies have decided to poke fun. Check out what happens when Action Bronson snorts bath salts in the player above. Rik Cordero directs.
[Listen] Hot Chip - "Don't Deny Your Heart"
With only a few days to go before they release their fifth LP In Our Heads, UK outfit Hot Chip are giving fans one more track to indulge in.

Give the song a listen below, and let us know what you think of the song as well as your anticipation for Hot Chip's forthcoming album.
In Our Heads is out on June 12th via Domino Records.

[News] Radiohead Hints at Jack White Collaboration
During their headling set at Bonnaroo last night, Radiohead hinted heavily at a possible collaboration with Jack White. Just before going into their track "Supercollider," Thom Yorke said, "This song is for Jack White. We saw him yesterday. A big thank-you to him, but we can't tell you why. You'll find out." Who knows what we can expect from a collaboration such as this, but let the speculation begin. As well, check out the band's entire Bonnaroo performance above.
[Listen] Breakbot feat. Irfane - "1 Out Of 2"
French producer and Ed Banger artist Breakbot is most known for his extensive number of remixes, but his latest single might not be what you expect. "1 Out Of 2" is an upbeat number featuring the vocals of his frequent collaborator Irfane. An airy guitar starts this cheesy pop-infused love song, with dreamy piano keys carrying along the whole thing before a guitar solo straight out of the '80s finishes it off. Check out the high quality radio rip below (via Stereogum).
The "1 Out Of 2" single is out on June 18th via Ed Banger Records.
