Chill, Electronic, Hip-Hop | Falcons Kicks Off Fluidity Mixtape Vol. 1
Posted by VMan on April 24, 2018
When working out mixtapes can be one of the most clutch things to have on hand, no questions asked. Mostly because you can just listen to it non stop and not have to stop your work out by finding the next best song to play or clicking on another artist, which is helpful in this day in age. Falcons kicked off 2018 by dropping a track with A-trak and Young Thug and now he returns with a short but sweet new mix to start off the new mixtape series, Fluidity. It features unreleased heat from a handful of acts, including himself, so tune in. Check out the full tracklist below and under that listen to Falcons new mix.
Chill, Future Funk | Kaptain Returns With New Single + EP Announcement
Posted by VMan on April 17, 2018
Around six months ago the funky beatsmith Kaptain dropped an official remix for a psychedelic rock band from Greece and since then he’s been quiet as far as releases go. Today that all changes with the unveiling of his original single “Your Every Move” that will be a part of his upcoming EP, The Practice of Letting Go. If the rest of the EP is anything like “Your Every Move” then look for Kaptain to make major waves like future funk/glitch kings GRiZ and Pretty Lights did back in the day with their hallmark projects. Kaptain is a true talent and “Your Every Move” shows that tenfold. Lastly, this one is a free download, so make sure to get it.

Posted by Juicebox on April 15, 2018
While not much is known about the mysterious alt project, Brynäs has been gaining some traction with their off-center, electronic-tinged alternative releases. First releasing “Trigger,” the astronaut-branded artist follows up with the second piece to their catalog with “Timmermansgatan.” Pulling together a fusion of eclectic elements, “Timmermansgatan” brings together influences from their contempories like alt-J, MGMT, Nick Murphy, and Cut Copy to create a euphoric experience. Keep your eyes peeled for what’s to come from Brynäs after hitting the mark with the last two releases.
Chill | Fazli Drops Official Music Video For New Single “Get Away”
Posted by VMan on April 10, 2018
Fazli is an Afghani born musician, who tells his story through his music. When he was growing up, he had to flee his home country because of the war, and he found himself in between Russia and Scandinavia. Fazli draws upon all of his experiences to feed into his music, and his single “Get Away” is proof of that. The title alone is a tribute to his past, and the overall uplifting vibe suggests hope and renewal for the future. Others seem to agree as the video already as 40K views. The way that Fazli sings so passionately alongside uplifting atmosphere is something that’s worth experiencing, putting anyone in a spring season mood. The video for “Get Away” speaks for itself and can be viewed in full above.
Chill | Jay Warren Drops Multi-Genre Dance Single “Amaze Me (feat. JTM)”
Posted by VMan on April 9, 2018
“Amaze Me’s” mixture of multiple easy-listening elements may be what is pushing Jay Warrens follower count up. The single features a blend of soulful vocals, pleasing hip-hop verses, and both house and trap-like percussion – depending on what part of the song you have fallen on.
The multi-personality angle built into the single track is what makes this one a keeper, various shades of emotion coming toward the ears, measure after measure, but not without strong arrangement present, an element that keeps the progression of the song natural feeling.
“Amaze Me” isn’t the first of Warren’s recognized work, him and Restless Modern previously teamed up on a 400K garnering remix while, on another release, Spotify official playlisting curators included his work in New Music Friday Deutschland, Switzerland, Italy, as well as Soul n the City and Sanfter Pop.
With a sound that sticks out and a track-record quickly building, it should be interesting to see how Warren leverages this new-found groundwork in 2018.
Chill | OTR Enlists Kai Straw For Magical “Close”
Posted by VMan on April 6, 2018
Kai Straw just released his album GUN in February, but now he’s back with a collaboration via the producer OTR. OTR is known for his chilled out R&B infused beats, which is no wonder why he enlisted Kai Straw to hop on a track. “Close” is a magical piece of music around love and the first moments that could potentially bring it about. It’s a deep, emotional track that also has some swing and dance-ability to it. This dynamic record has been on repeat for me and likely will be for you too over the weekend!
