Progressive House | Chris Reece – Complicated
Posted by Mel on July 1, 2013
Living in the Texas of Canada, I naturally have a tendency to enjoy country music. I’m not really sure if country is big in texas but with all the cowboy hats and horses there I have to assume it is. You may also notice horses and a gentleman with a cowboy hat in the song art above so you should probably know what I’m alluding to. Part of the Helvetic Nerds, Chris Reece is a long established producer. It’s sort of his thing to fuse different genres, such as jazz and rock into the standard progressive house formula. In “Complicated”, his latest release, the style he has chosen to infuse is country. This song is likely not for everybody, especially if you hate cute little puppies and freedom, but this was the first song I have bought in a long time (though on a pre-paid visa my aunt got me for christmas, no way I’m using my own money) so I thought I should share. If you give it a try you might like it. If not, well then I only have one thing to say. If you think it’s a good idea for the storyline to involve a lengthy massage, it’s not.

Dubstep | SizzleBird – One Love
Posted by Mach on June 12, 2013
SizzleBird hit 8000 followers on Soundcloud, so in celebration we get one of the most beautiful melodic Dubstep tracks you will listen to all week. The song progresses deep into your soul, SizzleBird knew how to send music straight through you with this one. This is so incredible that I can’t even articulate the words to describe how this can make you feel. It is truly a work of art.

Electro-House | Night Crime & Fyor – Rage
Posted by Mach on April 30, 2013
About time someone just flat out said” Let’s F***ing Rage”, how is that not a reoccurring sample in music? Night Crimes and Fyor clearly understand the art of raging. This bumping original sets the mood just right for a night out with no worries but remembering to wear comfortable shoes. Hit play and tear down the house to this bad boy.

Progressive House | Quintino & Alvaro – World In Our Hands (The Two Friends Remix)
Posted by Mel on April 29, 2013
When they’re not busy using absurdly low resolution cover art, The Two Friends shoot for the stars in all aspects of life. Their hopes and dreams include singing the national anthem at their local schools football game, finally pulling the trigger and subscribing to Maxim, and to open up and successfully run a fish taco truck in Stratford Ontario, JB’s hometown in an attempt to get him to visit and do stuff with them. Once the ice is broken and he hugs them, at the same time (3 person hug), they will spend the rest of the day staring at each others hair because JB is just such a good looking dude and then all three of them spend the night together in the fish taco truck cuddling and using JB’s made-for-women Chanel jacket for warmth.
Anyway, they just released their remix to Quintino & Alvaro’s “World In Our Hands” for free download and it is definitely worth checking out.

Trap | M!NT & Samples – Collider
Posted by Mach on April 15, 2013
808 Trap for the win from M!NT and Ben Samples. This is what most Trap should sound like. I can’t stand listening to a song full of bleeps, bloops, and blips with the artist calling that Trap. If that is actually Trap then my phone is just as good of a producer as the rest when I get texts. This original is piece of art, massive props to Samples and M!NT.
Mix | DJ Trademark – Over The Top Mix
Posted by Juicebox on March 12, 2013
DJ Trademark follows up his New Years Eve Mix with his latest hour long mix of electro bangers entitled, “Over The Top Mix.” It really is an art when someone can take 20+ songs ranging all across the board and turn it into a seamlessly blended hour long piece of work. Trademark absolutely crushes this mix, so whether you’re going to the gym or need a party playlist, I highly recommend downloading this guy. Tracklist after the jump.
Indie, Pop | Jon Bellion – Dead Man Walking

If you’re looking for originality, look no further than Jon Bellion. Following up his previous releases of “Paper Planes” and “LIFE“, the Long Island native has some fun with his newest release, reciting a plot similar to an episode of “My Sisters Hot Friend”. Jon’s organic style is what really stuck out to me in this indie-acoustic jam, written, produced, and performed entirely by Jon himself. Although varying from his two previous releases, Jon once again has shown that necessary x-factor in each video thus far, creating a piece of art like nothing we’re accustomed to seeing. The upcoming project Translations Through Speakers is still slated for a release later this winter.
