“XOTGUN”, pronounced shotgun, is a dreamy synth-driven wake-up call to civil unrest. It’s spelling is derived from the Nahuatl pronunciation of the letter ‘x’, and indigenous language native to the region of Mexico.

It’s always a treat to get new Lady Midnight, making us at Go Radio especially proud to present the world’s first look at her new collaboration with Ziyad Habib – “ION!”
Directed by Teddy Grimes, the video finds Lady Midnight’s emotive lyrics and visceral harmonies ignited by Ziyad’s disruptive chamber of melodic strings and digital crunch as the sped-up life cycle of organic matter gives contrast to the immortality of art a midst the mortal coils it stems from.
“ION” will be found on Lady Midnight’s forthcoming debut album Death Before Mourning, due out this spring on Sound Vérité Records.
Astralblak– “Jerkin’”
You might know Nazeem & Spencer Joles as local hip-hop stars, but the rapper/producer duo have even more to offer Twin Cities music fans than their own musical endeavors. The pair directed the new visual for Astralblak’s song “Jerkin’,” adding their own style and humor to the local soul group’s kicked-back club song. In the video, Nazeem & Joles throw a party at Modist Brewing, allowing Astralblak to party down while they try out the fresh single from 2018’s Seeds on a crowd of roller skaters grooving through the fog.
