Electro | Tune In Crew – Don’t Go Go

Tune In Crew is back with one whirlwind of a track, an original single titled “Don’t Go Go.” While we normally see a mixture of electronic and Caribbean vibes from this French production duo, this time they seem to be tapping into some of the magic thunder from down under that we just can’t get enough of as of late. And lucky for them – it works! Just after one listen I anticipate this being one of those songs you can’t put on without at least one other person in the room asking for the name. Check it out and see what I mean.

If you couldn’t tell by my lack of posts in general and my passive-aggressive remarks when I do, I have been slowly driven away from the arms of my once infatuated lover that is progressive house. I am not going to go into why this has happened as you can probably figure out the reasons if you have been listening to the genre for any significant amount of time. In any case, this post isn’t about me or the direction of my once favorite genre, it is about a producer that is actually fairly unique. One that doesn’t just stick to a single formula and has a multitude of styles. This producer is Kings & Others, a 22 year old from the Caribbean.

 

Having been producing for six years, his releases are fairly frequent and well done. They range from funky, disco inspired tracks to upbeat, summery tracks. You can never guess which style he will go to next but you can be sure it won’t be generic. Even with over 25 tracks, he has only accumulated 200 followers on Soundcloud and has received practically no support, with the one exception being from Monsieur Adi. I figure it’s time artists like him start getting rewarded instead of the ones taking the easy route of making forgettable big room and progressive house tracks. I am fully aware that many of you still very much enjoy the pop music that is passing as progressive house these days and that’s cool, I do too. Within a few weeks I’ll probably be loving the new Avicii album and whatever generic stuff I come across on Soundcloud but for now I’m not. If anyone else is currently feeling the way I do then I hope Kings & Others can provide you with a little bit of a fresh air in this crowded house scene. My two favorites are below as well as more of his best work after the break. Oh yeah, I almost forgot to mention this but all of his tracks are free.

Parker Ighile - So Beautiful (Pleather Remix)This remix makes me feel like I am partying in the Caribbean on spring break in the 80s. The synth progression is incredible, I really love the work Pleather did with this remix. The vocals are edited nicely, giving them that soothing House feel. Kick back and enjoy.

Hip-Hop | Skizzy Mars – Shangri-La

Posted by on December 13, 2011

The wait for Skizzy Mars’s new mixtape, Phases, is killing me. This kid is making me become a bigger fan with every single release he gives us. Here we have a light, Caribbean sounding beat and some great word play. Scoop this track and set your calendars for Phases, cause it’s gonna be big. Hit up the man on Facebook and Twitter.

Here’s what Skiz had to say about the song.

Wagwan Binnie Clad. These jams come straight from Kingston, Jamaica and even though I might not understand every word (or hardly any in some cases) it really doesn’t matter, the Caribbean vibe will immediately take over your eardrums like it did mine. I’m absolutely loving the auto-tuned tracks… (dont hate)
