Hip-Hop, Rap | Cooper Davis – Good Morning
Posted by yabishcic on March 7, 2014
Being a writer for a music blog as well as an aspiring worker in the music industry, sometimes its hard to ever focus on your own work while still trying to immerse yourself in everybody else’s styles and projects because staying up to date with the industry is almost a necesity. So, today I thought I’d share a project of my own that’s been slowly developing over the past seven months as I lived in Milwaukee, WI. What is in Milwaukee you ask? Well, Cooper Davis. It’s still kind of hazy how Cooper and I became connected from opposite ends of the country, but somehow it happened, and I found myself traveling all the way from the sunny sides of California to snow-covered-cars-every-morning Wisconsin. The time spent there though through all the snow storms and ice-skidding stops was well worth the wait. ‘Destiny N Dynasty’s’ Cooper Davis is definitely a rapper that should be on your radar, with his charismatic smile and low-key personality, and an extreme aware of consciousness that would surprise anyone from face-value. Even though there’s more to come, Cooper Davis presents you with “Good Morning”, the first of more to come.
Electronic | Madeon – Cut The Kid
Posted by Mel on February 25, 2014
Everybody is aware of Madeon and his wonderful abilities as a producer. He doesn’t release tracks often but when he does they are always outstanding. In an effort to tide his fans over, he is releasing a song he made a few years ago for free. “Cut The Kid” upholds the high quality that we are use to seeing from the young Frenchman and has the same unique sound his productions always do.

Electro-House | SBTRKT – Pharaohs (What So Not’s ‘Club ReRub’)
Posted by yabishcic on February 10, 2014
So we’re all aware of how hard What So Not has been killing it as of lately but this remix of SBTRKT’s “Pharaohs” is simply genius. Taking the already amazing song and turning it on it’s electro side is more than enough to take a liking to this beat… Just perfect.
Hip-Hop, Videos | Terence Ryan — Whiskey Citizen [Music Video]

It’s been almost two years since I first heard “Alan’s Right”, and was instantly made aware of the tremendous talent this man possesses. Sure, it’s extremely rare to find an artist (especially at his age) who has learned to expertly produce, mix, rap, sing, and write—but more so, it’s the fact that he has also managed to create a completely distinctive and unrepeatable sound. A sound that certainly was influenced by everything from indie singer-songwriters to underground hip-hop, yet it mimics nothing. With every new release I’m able to see the progress in his production, writing, and his ear—with each release more melodic, more honest, and deeper than the last. He’s been extremely hard at work this year creating what will be “The Revival” album, and today we receive the first release. It’s catchy, yet it resonates, and bares an amount of heart and maturity that we rarely see today. To classify him into any genre would be doing him a disservice, so just check out the song, and appreciate it for the engrossing music that it is.
Progressive House | Moiez feat. Anoop Desai – City On A Hill
Posted by Mel on November 11, 2013
There are not many progressive house tracks that come out these days that are good enough to get me to move from where ever I am, usually your mother’s house, into my bed (where I write all my posts) to write a post about it. This track however is. Moiez has been a regular here for a while now so I’m sure most of you are aware of the type of stuff we are used to hearing from him. When I first heard “City On A Hill” I was blown away at how good it is. Everything from the vocals to the slow key play to the atmospheric drop is great. This is without a doubt Moiez’s best work and I hope he can manage to hold the quality of his future releases to the same level.

RnB | Sean Kongery – Aware (ft. Elias)
Posted by admin on November 6, 2013
The beatsmith formally known as Sean Kongery is back. This time, the LA up and comer teams up with fellow Cali-vocalist Elias to create a smooth, soothing -I have just coined the word smoothing as an adjective for this song- ballad. In-house video team, Lake Effect Films, has yet again out done himself and absolutely blows me away with the story he managed to create behind the song.
Sean is soon to be at the key player in pop production, so it’ll be exciting to see the future singles as well as placements he’ll be getting these next couple months. For the time being, enjoy the song and video!
Also, the sampling of “Mr. Sandman” in the first few seconds of the visual is a fantastic touch.
