First off, congrats to one of the best labels at remaining true to a vision that does not follow the beaten path, regardless of what the current trend might be. It has most notably been known for the releases of French super-duo Justice, but has also been home to the releases of Breakbot, DJ Mehdi, its owner Busy P and others. The label has always brought something different to the table and this show exemplified that.

After seeing this particular tweet earlier this week, it’s safe to say I am one confused kitten…
The ???? is out of the bag! Trippy turtle is @CASHMERECAT
— BenZel (@OfficialBenzel) October 8, 2013
It didn’t take much time to come to terms with the fact that Cashmere Cat’s sound is so distinct that there was no way he couldn’t be the man behind Trippy Turtle. Which then lead me to question the true identity of the similar sounding producers Booty Beaver and D-D-DJ Yolo Bear, as well. The signature mattress squeaks and tambourines, the Drake references and remixes, the alliterated names, the “FoFo FaDis” for crying out loud. It suddenly all made sense…
And you know, while I’m still not entirely sure BenZel’s revealing tweet has been verified, nor this theory of my own, I’m not too worried about it anymore anyways because the Norwegian producer, Magnus August Høiberg (under whichever alias he prefers) (or whoever any of these musically-inclined critters actually are) has dropped some faaaantastic tracks this week. And that’s what we’re all here for anyways, right? I’ve bundled them all up for you here below in alphabetical order for your listening pleasure. And in the mean time, I’ll be brainstorming the perfectly catchy anthropomorphic nickname for my alter-egos. Hit me up if you come up with any good ones, your submissions are much appreciated.

Chill, Electronic | Alina Baraz – Paradise (Prod. by ESTA.)
Posted by Nick on October 4, 2013
Looking for some early morning/late evening vibes? Try the homie ESTA.’s remix of breakout artist Alina Baraz’s track “Paradise.” The San Diego native took the Cashmere Cat-esque feel of the original track (which can be found HERE) and put his own, new wave spin on it. Definitely worth a listen – really a fan of the production quality on this piece.
Hip-Hop, RnB | SevnthWonder – Blame Sevnth
Posted by Mach on July 14, 2013
For those that don’t know, there is a huge movement taking place in the underground Hip-Hop world. A blend of Hip-Hop, Trap, R&B, and even a touch of Dubstep, the result has been artists such as Cashmere Cat, KR$CHN, Stwo, and many others. This is real instrumental magic, you don’t twerk to this or shake your tail feathers, do people still do that? Anyways, SeventhWonder is one of the top members in this movement in my opinion, and he has continually shown how strong he is in his productions. Bassey Trap, feel good vibes, and make her feel good vibes, this track has it all minus the bedsheets.

Electro, Trap | Wave Racer FBi Minimix
Posted by mimada on July 11, 2013
Where do I even start with this mix… like hold the phone, WOAH. Ima take a quick second to explain to you what happened the first time I heard about this Australian DJ. See that picture above? That was it. The moment the sound waves in “Rock U Tonite” hit me, I was transported into distant land of dolphins, topless Jeeps, girls in 80’s vintage swimsuits and rainbows. Lots of rainbows. It’s possible I even shed a tear. That picture above isn’t some artist’s rendition of my experience, but rather Wave Racer’s Soundcloud user photo. He took me there. And it was awesome.
Anyways, Wave Racer crafted this mix for the Sydney-based radio station FBi 94.5, who described it as…
… [A] melodic treacle drizzling over sweet vocoder that melts like honeycomb in the mouth. All resting on a bed of dense synthcake and thick yet brittle percussion. It’s music too delectable to refuse.

I know that’s a lot to handle (who knows what those upside down Aussies are on these days) so lemme break it down for you. You’ll happen to notice the tracklist doesn’t include any of Wave Racer’s own songs. This mix, rather, is more of a compilation of some of his biggest inspirations (see: Cashmere Cat and Rustie) as well as artists with a similar style who are, essentially, artists you should get to know.
Overall, this mix, and all the artists featured on it, rock. It’s vivacious, it’s psychedelic, it’s carefree, and even at times, it gets a little sensual. Just another example of the thunder DJs are packing down under. Take note.
