“1 on 1” has a major bounce to it that proves yet again BLAISE is up next. He may only have a couple public releases under his belt but this single is out of this world: from a production, lyrical, and melody point. It’s the perfect combination of chill, hype, and catchy. This one seriously has the formula to take off, so don’t be surprised if you hear this one on the radio sometime this summer. BLAISE’s affiliation with current EDM superstar Whethan also may help his rise to the top more likely!
Electronic, Mainstream Remix | CHIMES Releases High Power New Single “Trust” via Bonfire Records
Posted by VMan on April 23, 2018
Madeon and Martin Garrix are two of my favorite EDM producers, hands down. So when “Trust” by CHIMES came on shuffle earlier today I was pleasantly surprised with how similar the production style sounded and was pretty blown away I had never heard of this group before. Finding new talent is one of my favorite hobbies, and one of the main reason I blog. Listen to “Trust” by CHIMES above now. Keep an eye on CHIMES this year.
Bass, Trance | SHMUCK THE LOYAL Gets Interesting On “Not Alone”
Posted by VMan on April 20, 2018
SHMUCK THE LOYAL is an attention grabbing name in itself, so I was intially drawn in by just that but when clicked play on the new single “Not Alone” I was stoked on finding a new gem. Honestly, the whole song is fire, but one of my favorite parts is the outro. It has a very different vibe than the rest of the song, a lot more chilled and calm, and I want to hear that created into it’s own song tbh. That said “Not Alone” has an old school upbeat energy that will make your weekend right! Stream “Not Alone” above now by SHMUCK THE LOYAL.

Well this is straight up magical! Felmax is a producer and DJ on the rise, but this one may take him to the top. Not only is this remix absolutely epic, it’s a flip of Lana Del Rey’s hit “Summertime Sadness” so if it is not taken down and heard by the right folks (mainly DJ’s headed into festival season) this one will get plenty of eyes and ears on it. Can’t get enough of this one, it may only be Springtime but this one makes me feel like I am at a music festival during the Summer. Check out Felmax’s new remix of Lana Del Ray above now!

Chill, Hip-Hop, Pop, Trap | Almost Owen Returns With Powerful New Single
Posted by VMan on February 7, 2018
Isaac Haselkorn, stage name Almost Owen, dropped a big new tune last week just in time for Cupid’s holiday Valentine’s Day. “If It Were Me” is a cool combination of hip-hop, pop, and EDM, all layered with the Boston native’s own unique twist. On my first listening through it was a little too poppy for my liking until I noticed the rap version that comes in the second half of the track and really helps take the song to the next level. Almost Owen’s debut project is coming out soon, in the meantime check out his latest release “If It Were Me.”
