One of the things I believe they excel in is showcasing upcoming electronic and hip-hop talent. In many cases, the acts they feature tend to be just about ready to blow up and reach mass audiences. Proof: check out 2008’s featured artists and compare it to this year’s line up at SXSW.

They have put together a new magazine called vis-ed which is a mash up of everything from graffiti, photography, industrial and graphic design.

It’s quality, and completely FREE. Vol.1 here via Vis-ed.

Also worth mentioning is that this is Scion sponsored, which seems to be a company really getting its hands into music and the arts. Its a marketing/image thing, but I’m down for corporate sponsorship as long as it helps keep creative juices flowing (and free). If you’re ever in the Hollywood area, make sure to check out one of the notorious Scion house parties. We’re talking top DJs and 1000+ people going dance crazy on a Tuesday night. Epic.

Some of the tracks are from artists with albums that made the “best of 08″ lists of quiet a few music publications (M83, Hercules and the love affair, and The Kills). But the list also includes a fair amount of heavier, less mainstream tunes (some solid dubstep, electro, and remixes).

Special mention… Matty G – West Coast Rocks (The Glitch Mob Remix)
