Bass, Trap | Showtek – FTS (SAY MY NAME VIP Remix)
Posted by Nick on January 29, 2014
It’s not everyday that you encounter an artist who in his bio classifies his own music as “one big wet fart,” and then delivers tracks that are up to the caliber (if not above the caliber) of some of the biggest names out there today; so, if you haven’t already heard of SAY MY NAME, now is probably a pretty good time to check him out.
Aside from being able to incorporate a sense of humor into his bass-filled tracks (see the Barney Theme remix [which actually isn’t bad, IMO]), this LA native also has the capacity to make everyone listening want to get on their feet and turn up like there’s no tomorrow. In his most recent track, a VIP of a previously released “FTS” remix, SAY MY NAME throws it up a level, infusing trap and hardstyle elements over three huge drops. Don’t miss the free download on this one, or I promise you’ll regret it.

Chill, Trap | Kasbo – The Wind-Up Bird
Posted by BP on January 28, 2014
Kasbo is calling this genre “lovetrap” and I like that description of the track. “The Wind-Up Bird” is an original track by Kasbo, filled with bass and an upbeat drop drizzled in trap beats and sound effects. Yearning vocals are spliced in throughout the track and contrast surprisingly nicely with the upbeat piano and drops. Grab this one for free on Facebook, and look out for more from Kasbo!

Trap | Johnny Rain – III (OZZIE & Hucci Remix)
Posted by BP on January 28, 2014
It’s always a treat to hear Ozzie and Hucci come together on a track. Trap veterans Ozzie and Hucci create a dark, mesmerizing atmosphere in their remix of Johnny Rain’s “III”. Low synths and trapped out beats guide the vocals to a place of mystery and melancholy. Sophisticated, yet simple, the bass lines are to die for. Lucky for us, this remix is free to download!

Electronic, Trap | The Chain Gang of 1974 – Sleepwalking (Goon Bags Remix)
Posted by BP on January 28, 2014
Goon Bags is a new artist on my Ipod, and a fantastic new addition. If you recognize this song from somewhere familiar, it’s because “Sleepwalking” by The Chain Gang of 1974 is the official trailer song of Grand Theft Auto 5 and can also be heard on the radio during the game. Goon Bags’ remix adds more of a trap aspect to the song that isn’t in the original. The remixed version features new drum work, bass lines, and some new synths to give it more bounce and a different energy. Overall, this track is worth a listen, and while you’re at it check out some of Goon Bags’ other tracks because they’ve got some real bangers out!

Chill, Trap | Cleindl – Girl
Posted by BP on January 27, 2014
I’ve been listening to this track non-stop in my car and finally that decided it needs to be posted. “Girl” by Japanese producer Cleindl is relaxing, eerie, and fresh. Every layer in this track sounds crisp and clean. Vocal chopping and sampling laid over trap beats lays the base for this unique original song. If you’re digging the stylish atmosphere brought forth by Cleindl you can download it for free via Facebook.

Trap | Elaksi – Near Me
Posted by BP on January 27, 2014
Elaksi, a 19 year old producer from Helsinki, Finland, put out an awesome track on Eighth Supply as part of their Free Single Series. “Near Me” is a chill trap track with eerie vocal sampling and building synths. This track is best listened to on some big speakers if you’re a bass lover, since the bass is to die for. In the words of Eighth Supply, “Elaksi has definitely come into his own and showcases it on this banger!”. You can grab this track for free on Bandcamp.
