Pop | Timeflies take it all the way pop with their newest release “Worse Things Than Love”
Posted by admin on June 25, 2015
Timeflies has always towed the line of pop and rap carefully. Much of their early following can be attributed to rap renditions of famous pop songs in their “Timeflies Tuesday” series. However, with “Worse Things Than Love” they go all the way pop and don’t look back.
“Worse Things Than Love” comes right as the summer begins to heat up, and the hook is so catchy you’ll likely have it in your head until the summer cools down. To top it all off Natalie La Rose lays down a bridge that gives the song enough flare to really put it over the top.
While there may be a few begrudging fans out there, Timeflies took a step in the right direction with this one and because of that will hopefully get many more ears and eyes on them in the coming months.

House | Oliver Heldens – Koala (Michael Calfan Remix)
Posted by BIGLIFE on December 6, 2014
I never post previews. It’s almost pointless. When I do, you know it’s something serious. I heard Michael Calfan’s “Koala” remix today and I lost it. Of course, it’s no where to be found on Soundcloud so we’ll be waiting until an official version releases. In the mean time, this will have to suffice. Michael Calfan has been extremely hot as of late with the release of his massive “Prelude” single on Spinnin’ Records. Earlier today he announced his December gigs, which will take him to Italy, Scotland, and South Africa. It’s good to be Michael Calfan right now. Turn this “Koala” remix all the way up. It’s something else.

Chill, Trap | KRAMPF & AKEDA – EMBRASSE MOI (FT PENDENTIF)
Posted by BP on April 29, 2014
If you’re looking for something a little different to start off the week, check out this track by Krampf and Akeda, both from Paris. Although the track is in French, and I’m aware many of our readers are English speakers, the beat speaks for itself. Chill and trapped out, “Embrasse Moi (ft. Pendentif)” bounces along through a mixed series of drum variations that keep it interesting. The warped vocals give it an eerie background. If you’ve got the right speakers, this track has some deep bass all the way through. Grab it for free!
