Trap | Harrison Blakoldman – Nocturn
Posted by BP on December 5, 2013
Wow, isn’t this album art awesome? Anyway, “Nocturn” by Harrison Blakoldman out on Cosmonostro is a trapped out beauty. “Nocturn” stands out from a lot of the trap coming out right now. The sounds of a xylophone ring over low bassy beats. Its a lullaby with a modern twist. My favorite part is after a minute in when the sound is fuller, but it’s all really unique and interesting to listen to. Grab it for free!
Hip-Hop, Preview, Videos | A$AP Mob Ft. Method Man & A$AP Nast – Trillmatic
Posted by Mach on December 4, 2013
Just a few months ago the public caught a little snippet of this Hip-Hop gem and today we get our first class glimpse of what to expect from the upcoming A$AP Mob album. A$AP Nast teams up with Wu-Tang legend Method Man on this 90s vibed, soon to be Hip-Hop classic. I have my fingers crossed that this song is a great reflection of the new album. A$AP Mob’s album drops March 4th, 2014.
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.

Chill, Electronic | Esta – Moet (Ft. JBird)
Posted by BP on November 30, 2013
This chill track called “Moet” (ft. JBird) is 1 out of 13 tracks on Esta’s new album “Paradise”. The album was released on Thanksgiving, and it really blew me away. There’s not a single track on it that I would skip. The style is generally mellow and haunting trap/electronic although some songs lean to a more ambient/garage style. Give the full album a listen for yourself on Bandcamp via the link below, and download it for free!

Hip-Hop | Childish Gambino – Telegraph Ave + Ta-Ku Remix
Posted by dshaq on November 28, 2013
The buzz around Childish Gambino’s forthcoming album is definitely becoming more and more noticeable with each new release we are blessed with. This is the fourth release off the album and I think there is great improvement from Gambino as an artist from Camp to “Because of the Internet”. I’m going to hold off on any pre-album connotations until I hear the full album, but I would expect nothing less of great from Donald and his team. Also make sure to peep the Ta-Ku remix to his brand new song as well. Australian producers are finally getting a lot of press with Flume breaking into the scene with his epic “You & Me” remix. Happy Turkey day to all and a safe Black Friday as well.
