Trap | Flosstradamus – Rollup (Baauer Remix)
Posted by Sev on July 25, 2012
The hype that has been building around this up coming Trap-style artist lately, Baauer, is crazy. Every single one of his releases are being played out by all the big EDM artist, which says something in itself. Just 6 months ago nobody knew who he was or what he was doing and now people are going crazy over his sensational Trapt out tracks. The Trap movement hasnt completely won me over yet, but I will give it some more time. In the mean time this remix of Flosstradamus’s Rollup is a pretty sick remix by him. It is definitely on some next level hip-hop stuff.
Drum & Bass, Dubstep, Electronic, Trap | Birdy Nam Nam – Jaded Future EP
Posted by Sev on July 17, 2012
The highly anticipated Birdy Nam Nam EP “Jaded Future” has finally been released on OWSLA. Containing remixes from big names such as Skrillex, Foreign Beggars, Culprate, and more; this EP surely has something for everyone to listen to. What surprised me was how many trap-style remixes this EP contained. Birdy Nam Nam have been around for quite sometime, probably most well known for their outstanding live performances, which you can watch HERE.
As far as this well rounded EP goes, it is another must have for me. All the tracks and remixes sound completely different to one another with the perfect flow from track to track. If you played the Culprate remix and compared it to the original mix of Cadillac Dreams the only thing that would indicate they are the same track is the vocals, but other than that the two tracks have no similar indications. Of course everyone was waiting for the two remixes from Skrillex, which turned out to be better than expected in my opinion. The DnB remix was top quality, as expected from Skrillex, and the trap remix also was a very interesting take on the track. I have to say though although Skrillex and Culprate’s remixes were both exhilarating, Foreign Beggars remix was my favorite easily. Their hard hitting vocals mixed with the trap style instrumental came out to be perfection, but that is just my opinion. Grab the EP on Beatport HERE.
Trap | Dillon Francis – Masta Blasta (THE REBIRTH)
Posted by Sev on July 11, 2012
Looks like the Trap wave has officially settled in with most artists. Skrillex is on this list with a trapt-out remix to Birdy Nam Nam’s Goin’ In, now we have Dillon Francis revamping one of his biggest Moombah tunes off of his hit EP “Westside”. I’m not complaining at all because all these trap remixes are opening doors once again to new styles and new fusions of genres just like Moombah did when it first emerged.
Dubstep, Trap | Minnesota – Hold Up (Minnesota VIP)
Posted by Mach on July 3, 2012
Minnesota has made some of my favorite remixes. This newest work from him is a VIP remix/mashup. Mashing together Dr. Dre’s “The Next Episode” and Minnesota’s “Hold Up.” This VIP is awesome. Minnesota has been playing at a lot of his live shows and the feed back on it has been nothing short of incredible.
Minnesota has also stated that once he reaches 20k likes on Facebook he will release the VIP of his remix of Ellie Goulding’s “Starry Eyed,” which the original remix is provided below.
Trap | Ellie Goulding – Starry Eyed (Joker Remix)
Posted by Mach on June 17, 2012
Trap seems to be the upcoming genre, even though it has been around longer than Dubstep…oh well. Anyways, Trap is hard for me to get into due to how simple it tends to sound, never really grabbing my attention. I honestly love this Trap remix done by Joker. The effects he uses are cool, and the overall composure of the track is sweet. Worth having in my opinion.
Trap | Flosstradamus – Lana’s Theme
Posted by Sev on June 4, 2012
I had to choose between seeing Flosstradamus and Flux Pavilion this Friday in Austin, and although Flux’s show was amazing, I wish I could travel back to see these guys tear the stage up. Hearing good things about their live shows and the energy these guys bring, made me frustrated I had to miss them. Releasing their highly anticipated interpretation of Lana Del Rey’s “Video Gamez”; these guys absolutely smashed it. I have never wanted to bob my head to a song so much before this track came around. It is tough to not enjoy their music when they are bringing together a fusion of electronic and a hint of hip-hop.
