Have you ever met anyone who didn’t love Len’s “Steal My Sunshine,” as a guilty pleasure or otherwise? Me neither. It’s a universally accepted truth that the 90’s pop ditty is the musical equivalent of a warm, sunny, beer-soaked Californian day. Brooklyn-based bubblegrunge quartet Charly Bliss covered the tune for The AV Club’s AV Undercover,…
Prophets of Rage, the new supergroup featuring members of Rage Against the Machine/Audioslave, Public Enemy and Cypress Hill, have released another song ahead of their upcoming Sept. 15 eponymous debut album.

When I first saw Sofi Tukker—a New York City-based duo whose dance music and live performance feel tribal, with nods toward Brazilian instruments, poets and Portuguese—it was one of the weirdest sets I’d seen of late. It was the kind of show that you watched with your mouth slightly open, one that made you tilt…
