If any of you are old enough to remember Labyrinth, or are just movie buffs, then this all makes sense. For the uninitiated, Raised Byy Wolves flip David Bowie’s “Within You,” a track from the film’s soundtrack, for Nacho Picasso to wax some dark poetics over. Stream it below.

Nacho Picasso and Avatar Darko finally deliver their anticipated collaborative project, Vampsterdam. The very dark EP features production from AraabMuzik, Raised Byy Wolves, Blue Sky Black Death, Clams Casino and plenty more. Stream below or download here and peep the press release below.

Coming of age on the streets of Seattle, Nacho Picasso and Russian-American Avatar Darko have only become brothers of scum in the last couple years after meeting at SXSW. Nacho’s twisted, syrupy slow raps and Avatar’s flippant attitude toward everything except his Russian heritage are all a given. The two degenerates also bring out the best – or worst – of each other, depending upon how its looked at, both in content and style. Vampsterdam is the result of many drug-fueled, early-morning recording sessions in Seattle and Los Angeles.
