Ambient, Chill, RnB | The GTW – Calling Cards
Posted by admin on July 16, 2014
Genres are dumb. Especially when it comes to a talent such as The GTW. Nigerian-born, and Chicago-bred, The GTW pulls influences from enumerable locations in to his music. A voice tender enough to put you to sleep, yet intriguing enough to keep you begging for, more fills the pockets of the contemporary production it’s put on top of.
The African-elements to the music are evident, each different addition to the soundscape warm and comforting. I could ramble endlessly trying to decipher what The GTW’s sound is exactly, but it’s probably best for you to take a look at the video above.

Ambient, Electro | Misterwives – Reflections (Gryffin Remix)
Posted by admin on April 27, 2014
This “Reflections” remix graced my inbox a few days back and after the first listen I knew it needed to be shared. However, as it usually does, life got ahead of me and my post slipped from one day to the next to the next. Then, tonight as I perused Hype Machine, staring me right in the face -as any not completed assignment does- was the Misterwive’s name along with the Gryffin remix.
The bouncy deep house sound that Gryffin implores has been a recent trend amongst producers, and combined with the Misterwives angelic vocals the song was a guaranteed success.
Enjoy, download for free, and help it keep ascending the HypeM charts!

20 year old Nico Schinco hit me up out of the blue yesterday and asked me to check out his latest track “Sura,” which is readily available on Beatport for purchase, and to which he will be giving away all the proceeds recouped to the World Wildlife Fund. I happily obliged to his request a day after, and man this tune has vibes and melody for days! Trancy, progressive, tribal, these are just a few words to describe this sound, but you really have to hear it for yourself to grasp the aura of “Sura.” This is a must listen and support by copping this track NOW!

Alternative, Ambient, Chill | Prelow – Simple Song
Posted by admin on March 15, 2014
A month or so ago, we premiered to you a soft-spoken indie group by the name of Prelow. The NYC-bred duo is back with their newest release entitled, “Simple Song”. Staying true to its name, “Simple Song” doesn’t employ dozens of layers of instruments or vocals, but rather strips it down the excess and provides a song beautiful for everything that it’s not.
Prelow is a promising new name in indie music not only for their vocal prowess, but the self-production that has captivated over 15,000 listeners over the past five days. Enjoy a free download and stream below.

Days like this where I love my blogger gig, meet UK producer “Boy In A Movie” and his latest release “Change You” which will be available on his upcoming EP “Feel” March 31st. This uplifting sunny instrumental layered with soulful r&b vocals echoing the words “cause no one’s going to change you” will have you meditating and feeling free like you’re gliding through the sky on a perfect day. I’m personally loving this vibe, and this record could not be anymore fitting with Spring approaching. This is a must listen!
