Hip-Hop, Rap, Videos | Sam Lachow – King Lear
Posted by admin on June 10, 2013
Sam Lachow has been on my radar for quite some time now. The young man has proved himself time and time again with his soulful sound and self-aware rapping. However, “King Lear” is different. Sam goes a few steps deeper with his introspection and really digs in to his life and career as a rapper thus far. Perhaps it was the self-produced instrumental, or the self-directed and edited video? Either way, this song is more personal than much of Sam’s music, a trait that I endlessly respect and enjoy.
Take a gander at “King Lear” above, and be sure to tweet out #kinglear for a chance to win some cool prizes from the young Seattle emcee.
Videos | Watch Porter Robinson’s Language Tour Mini-Documentary
Posted by Middy on June 5, 2013
Last year, following the release of our number one track of 2012, and his career breaking song, “Language”, Porter Robinson went on a 30 date bus tour across North America with Mat Zo and The M Machine. The 23 minute mini-doc shows how everything came together on the tour, from the artists, to the light guy, to the tour manager and the merch guy. We also see the beginnings of “Easy”, Mat Zo & Porter Robinson’s late-2012 smash single. It is worth watching all the way through and lets you get to know Porter better as a person, showing his story from a family side and managerial side or things, while also getting to know Mat Zo & The M Machine as well, who are prominently featured in this mini-doc.
Progressive House | Matthew Koma – One Night (Vicetone Remix)
Posted by Middy on May 21, 2013
It has been a crazy year for Vicetone. Ever since exploding onto the scene last July, they have wowed fans, artists and industry insiders alike with their uncannily crisp productions, big time melodies and prolific remix rate that does not sacrifice for quality. One such customer is Nicky Romero who has signed them to his label, Protocol Recordings, and by the looks of it (rather blurry, what are you taking pictures with a flip phone?) may be working on a track with them.
Matthew Koma has become one of the hottest vocalists in dance music, and from that he has launched his own solo career with his “Parachute EP” successfully released last year and an album forthcoming later in the year. Vicetone have continued their dominance into the 2013, though their prolific release rate has slowed up as we have seen more official releases from the Dutch duo like “Heartbeat” with Collin Mcloughlin and “Stars” with Jonny Rose. Building around Matthew Koma’s seemingly perfectly built for edm vocals, Vicetone add their own big room touch with a crisp, rock influenced synth melody that pierces through your speakers and fills the space around you. Look for more remixes and originals from Vicetone coming up, including a remix of Nervo‘s “Hold On“.

Fresh off his spring tour, Kap Slap has just made everyones summer with the announcement of a new bimonthly hour mix series entitled the “Slapcast.” Since Kap Slap started a new page in his career transitioning to original material, many of us were left concerned we’d never see his unsurpassed signature style bootlegs again. Luckily, Kap Slap has answered our prayers and released his latest mix, which features those bootlegs we love oh so much.

Chill, House | Fergie – Glamorous (Jonas LR Broke Ass Bootleg)
Posted by Mach on April 30, 2013
Fergie had a short lived solo career, good, but I have to say this remix was a pleasant surprise. Technically this Garage/House, but I categorized it the best I could. This not only makes Fergie bearable, but I could listen to this everyday and not get sick of it. Listening to it makes you feel good, even if you aren’t living the life. It’s fun to imagine though.

Another week, another new track from the hardest working rapper in the game. Jetpack Jones releases yet another free track for his fans enjoyment. Jetpack has been a roll lately, releasing the best music of his career. I’ve seen an incredible amount of progression in the California rapper’s skills in the past two years, and his best is yet to come. The time has come for people to stop sleeping on Jetpack and wake up to the Jetpack movement. His latest song is a great introduction to his music if you haven’t heard it before.
