Mixtape: Knxwledge - Touching Bass (Noisey Series)

The newest installment in Noisey's Touching Bass mixtape series comes from LA producer Knxwledge, who packs the near 40-minute smash with low-hung rap hits, warped with mind-melting production. The whole effort is available for stream/download below, and comes with a special interview with the 25-year-old. In it, he talks about his love for jerked chicken, his sneaker collection, and the Jersey-centric samples he taps into on the mix (including a lot from Hype Williams 1998 film Belly, starring Nas and DMX).

Tomorrow, PhilaMOCA; Parquet Courts

Saturday, May 4: Brooklyn-via-Texas upstart punks Parquet Courts will be joined by Scott & Charlene's Wedding, Amanda X, and Household for a special $10-only all-ages show at the PhilaMOCA.

It's a return performance for the band, which has been on the road since October after earning some love for the Light Up Gold LP, after performing at Kung Fu Necktie in mid-January. Noisey recently followed the band on the tour, filming stops at Monterrey's Festival Nrmal and SXSW. Check out the footage below to get a little insight on the band's live performances and grab Light Up Gold today on Dull Tools.
