Chill, Electronic | Kamandi & Polo – AASB EP
Posted by BP on April 12, 2014
This EP is just too cool to pass up. Kamandi and Polo have created a seven day gradual release program for the “AASB” EP. Followers get one track (on Bandcamp) and the corresponding video (on Youtube) released per day until it’s all out for sale! We are on day six now, but I couldn’t wait until day seven to post this because it caught my attention so quickly. Each track, named by a different symbol, has a unique atmosphere to it. The bass in these tracks is mind-blowing if you’ve got the right system. All the tracks are smooth, ambient, and mysterious. The vibes in this EP are hard to describe, but may be somewhere along the lines of dark, emotional, and chill. I’ve attached two tracks from Soundcloud. Click on the Bandcamp link to hear the rest and purchase the whole EP!

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.

Trap | Johnny Rain – III (OZZIE & Hucci Remix)
Posted by BP on January 28, 2014
It’s always a treat to hear Ozzie and Hucci come together on a track. Trap veterans Ozzie and Hucci create a dark, mesmerizing atmosphere in their remix of Johnny Rain’s “III”. Low synths and trapped out beats guide the vocals to a place of mystery and melancholy. Sophisticated, yet simple, the bass lines are to die for. Lucky for us, this remix is free to download!

Ambient, Chill | ORCA – My Zenith
Posted by BP on January 28, 2014
Cream Collective has been killin’ it lately. Orca is the newest addition to the Cream Collective, hailing from Brighton, Britain. “My Zenith” is chill, relaxing and tranquil, without being boring. Birds chirp along with occasional subtle vocal sampling over an ethereal atmosphere in this mellow masterpiece. Look out for his upcoming collaboration with SYZ in February on Cream Collective, and grab this one for free straight from Soundcloud!
Chill, Trap | Cleindl – Girl
Posted by BP on January 27, 2014
I’ve been listening to this track non-stop in my car and finally that decided it needs to be posted. “Girl” by Japanese producer Cleindl is relaxing, eerie, and fresh. Every layer in this track sounds crisp and clean. Vocal chopping and sampling laid over trap beats lays the base for this unique original song. If you’re digging the stylish atmosphere brought forth by Cleindl you can download it for free via Facebook.

Ambient, Chill | Atu – Doubts
Posted by BP on January 2, 2014
Here’s another lovely track to kick off January right. Atu’s original track “Doubts” has a superb atmosphere and some really smooth piano in it. Ambient and classy, I have no doubt (haha get it) that this track is excellent. If we had a tab for “baby making music” I would definitely pop this track in there. The little extra section at the end is especially pretty. Big ups to Atu for this one!

Hip-Hop, Rap | Atmosphere – Color In The Snow (feat. DeM AtlaS, Joe Horton & Toki Wright)
Posted by yabishcic on December 19, 2013
Beginning February 12, Rhymesayers and Atmosphere bring you the Fourth Annual “Welcome To Minnesota Tour,” with performances from: Atmosphere, Toki Wright X Big Cats, No Bird Sing, deM atlaS and Jimmy2times. With the typical, all-to-good-but-simple Atmosphere beat, he really delivers with this new single. Can’t really say he’s ever done a song wrong, but this one is especially good.
