Albums, Review, Trap | Brillz – Retwonked
Posted by J-Tiffy on December 17, 2013
Just a week ago, Brillz dropped a remix rendition of his Twonk LP. This release is suitably named Retwonked and is a song for song remix package (granted, there are two remixes of WTF on here), and it again takes trap style music and gives if a jet engine face wash.
Brillz is among the clan of artists that are responsible for keeping trap music – and other genres, in a less significant manner – interesting and moving forward. Mundane isn’t in this dude’s vocabulary. I love listening to Brillz mixes, and seeing him live because his music is a blast to party to. It’s trap music that’s hyped way up, and includes so many elements of different genres, that he can toss in just about anything that is high energy and it feels right at home. He brought on a bunch of remixes by his other fellow innovators for this package. The result that is unprecedented, and packed with upside-down A’s. I gave a few words about each track, as well as an EP teaser mix and a full length Brillz mix after the jump.

About 8 Months ago French producer Androma released his single “Gunjule,” a sexy rhythmic deep house record with soulful vocals and nothing but good vibes. This time around Androma enlisted the help of a few of his talented producer friends Freddy Verano, Buggin, EFIX & Flint, LCAW, Herr Vogel and Nicolas Haelg to release a remix EP to relaunch the single as a whole. I’m very proud to present this project to you all, as I believe these producers are the future. If you love saxophone lines, soulful vocals, and you’re feeling great on this beautiful Monday, complement the vibe with this colorful remix package. This is a must listen and a must download!

DOWNLOAD : Dr. Dre – Forgot About Dre (Jackson Breit Cover)
After a few weeks of silence, we finally get to hear some Jackson Breit. Although it’s not an original Jackson Breit, it for sure is a classic. Jackson covers Dre, and brings back some childhood memories with this classic.
We are expecting an Album in the next few months, so hopefully Jackson supplies us with a bunch of free music before hand!
Albums, Electronic, Techno | Alesia – Andrea EP
Posted by Spice on December 4, 2013
Our favorite genre-hating French duo dropped their debut EP yesterday via Skrillex’s OWSLA, and genres be damned, this is not one to miss. Chock full of chilling industrial vibes that don’t skimp on the punches or energy level, Andrea is a fast paced and relentless ride that may lead you wonder what, exactly, is going on in Alesia’s head. Some of the tracks will be familiar to those of you who have been following the duo/team OWSLA — the clanging, eerily-pitched “Otho” was released as a single earlier this year and the techy, titular “Andrea” has been making the live set rounds. The electro-tinged “Jezabel” is a dark, hard-hitting banger best suited for the kind of deranged dance floors typically found in basement clubs and warehouses, while “Industriae” slows it down, packing a wallop with some truly guttural, metallic synths that would make even Gesaffelstein salivate. Stream it below in full and head to Beatport for the download if you’re dark and twisty like we are.

Albums, House, Videos | Dance (RED) Album + Live Stream
Posted by Middy on December 1, 2013
Last year (RED) partnered with Tiësto and Stereosonic to bring an album filled with the best tracks of the year. This time around, the 24-track album features almost entirely new music for the measly price of $9.99 with some dance music’s best, and for a great cause. The album has new tracks from the likes of Dada Life, DallasK, Popeska, Pierce Fulton, Tommy Trash, Felix Cartal, Candyland and much more. My sleeper pick from the album is Eric Prydz’s edit of Deadmau5’s “The Veldt” that he made for his US last summer and some how managed to sneak onto the album with little, to no fanfare. Don’t pirate the album, ALL proceeds go to charity. It’s world AIDS day, consider it your contribution. Kind of late on the live stream, but at this very moment Above & Beyond are streaming their set, so tune in for that. The sets will replay, so you can watch that throughout the day.

Albums, Electronic, Trap | STYLSS – SUICIDE PACT: TEN
Posted by BP on November 14, 2013
STYLSS, which stands for “Stop Taking Your Life So Seriously”, from Portland, just put together this sweet collaboration album, the tenth one of its kind. A new “Suicide Pact” is released on the thirteenth of every month. This album features trap, chill, electronic, and rap music. Some of my favorites are “Caitlyn” by Tapes, which is some funky trap, and “On Tha Fence” by Eastghost and Kid Hnrk, which is trap with a more ambient feel to it. There are going to be 50 cassette tapes made of this album. That’s pretty unique in 2013, and they’re only going to be about $7. There are also only 1,000 free downloads of the album so you better jump on it!
