Progressive House | Rudimental ft. Emeli Sandé – Free (Matt Nash Remix)
Posted by Middy on February 23, 2014
Matt Nash has been a very busy producer, working for himself and others, helping to create “Starlight (Could You Be Mine)” with Don Diablo over the summer in addition to some great remixes, and working with frequent collaborator, Dave Silcox, to produce Tiësto’s upcoming album. Rudimental’s “Free” featuring Emeli Sandé is one of the more soulful cuts from the album, with some moving vocals from Ms. Sandé, making this a very remixable tune. Matt Nash takes full advantage of the vocals, while adding his own distorted electro that does not overpower, but gives the song a whole new feel. Best of all, the remix is free so get it below.

Albums, Electronic | The Glitch Mob – Love Death Immortality (Album Review)
Posted by Middy on February 21, 2014
Innovative electronic duo, The Glitch Mob have released their sophomore artist album “Love Death Immortality”. Following up their 2010 effort, “Drink The Sea”, Ed Ma “edIT”, Joshua Mayer “Ooah” and Justin Boreta “Boreta”, reinforce their standing within their own unique, niche electronic space that they have helped carve and have steadily grown with each passing release and show. The album shot all the way up to number two on the iTunes overall album charts, showing not only the dedication of their incredibly passionate fan base, but also the mass appeal that their sound has garnered despite it not being mainstream or commercial in anyway.
Events | Above & Beyond Bring Group Therapy To Atlantic City
Posted by Middy on February 7, 2014
Still riding high from incredibly successful release of their stunning acoustic album, Above & Beyond came to the Tri-State area during Super Bowl weekend for a dose of Group Therapy at HQ Nightclub in Atlantic City. They have very few upcoming shows on the docket for this spring, so I knew that this one was a must attend, notably just after the acoustic album. I saw them in DC the weekend after they released Group Therapy, so this is becoming a tradition of mine to see them live after they release an album. I see no reason to stop. Stream the album below and read on for the rest of the review.
Albums | Above & Beyond Tugs At The Heartstrings With Acoustic Album
Posted by Middy on February 5, 2014
Above & Beyond first made the acoustic dream a reality back in June with 4 sold-out shows at London’s Porchester Hall and then again with two sold-out shows at the Los Angeles Greek Theater, where a Sonny Moore decided to sit in on bass for a tune. The trio described the impetus for creating the album “The acoustic project is a reconnection with the musicians that we were before we met”. As they have said, Above & Beyond are musicians who craft their electronic tracks using instruments and then create the parts from their instrumentation. Knowing that, such an endeavor not only seems possible, it seems likely that Tony, Paavo and Jono would come together to create this stunning piece of work. Watch / listen to the live performance at Porchester Hall and read on for the rest of the review.

In 2013 West-coast hip hop label, Dirty Science gained instant notoriety as one of the the genres premier labels when they birthed Denmark Vessey & Scud One’s album Cult Classic. Now in 2014 Dirty Science continues this habit of dropping dope full lengths by blessing us with the album E&J, by rapper Johaz and hyper-prolific producer Exile, who together form the group Dag Savage. For those that are familiar with Exile’s prowess on the MPC, you already know to expect, soul-laden, head-nodding beats that will leave you feeling like Sunday morning. For those that are just getting up on this music then Blu, Fashawn and Aloe Blacc will help serve you up a great introduction.
Abstract Hip-Hop | Vulkan The Krusader – Echo Chamber (Prod. by Yakamoto Kotzuga)

NYC via FLA emcee Vulkan The Krusader has been locked away in his studio hard at work for the past year. The spoils are set to drop on Feb 14th, Valentines day in the form of VX13, featuring a 13 original joints that range from future boom bap to dream-wave chill, with collabs from Sean Price, Kyle Rapps and Spaceman and more.
Vulkan tells me that “Echo Chamber” was written from the perspective of a love struck homicidal maniac whom he read about in a newspaper article. Ranging from purposefully slightly off key vocals to his on-point, punchy delivery, this track serves as nice cross-section of his talents, but there is so much more, stay tuned.
