Chill, Trap | MY†H – Summerboys
Posted by BP on July 18, 2013
This incredibly chill track by MY†H was a pleasure to stumble upon this evening. The dreamy beats take your mind on a journey. It’s a perfect Thursday night chill out song. Trap like this could become incredibly boring if not produced well, but MY†H put out a really refined piece here. This track is unfortunately just a preview, but be sure to pick up their EP, Summerboys93 when it drops on July 29th to Trapdoor Records!
Hip-Hop, RnB | J.Faraday – Push Me (SevnthWonder’s 808 Remix)
Posted by Mach on July 18, 2013
SevnthWonder is pumped up after all the great feedback he got on his last upload. It puts a smile on my face to see how appreciative artists are of support. Today I bring you another incredible freebie from the up and coming producer. Reming J. Faraday’s “Push Me”, SevnthWonder gives the female vocalist a little bit of an 808 kick. The second this track started playing I swear to you that the Sun broke through the clouds where I live, this chill track just radiates beauty.
Hip-Hop, RnB | Alicia Keys – Unthinkable (Fwdslxsh Remix)
Posted by Mach on July 16, 2013
Fwdslxsh releases a more chill tune for our Summer listenings today. Remixing an Alicia Keys classic, Fwdslxsh contributes a wonderful melody to the singers beautiful voice. The track is one build-up, climaxing half way through and then mellowing out again. Where I live it is a terrible looking day outside, this remix turned out to be a perfect fit to put a smile on my face. The track is part of a 26 track compilation from Pragmatic Theory Records called “Elevated Patterns”.

Chill, Compilation, Indie | Teen Daze – Lost Songs (30 track compilation)
Posted by Mel on June 30, 2013
I am well aware that progressive house has become generic, overplayed, mainstream, and incredibly formulaic (also stupid and fat), but I still love it. With that said, I also really enjoy slower, chill sounds. Songs that you can play while knitting a sweater for your grandmother or even just while you stand at the stove stirring that damn macaroni and cheese for 8 minutes. Songs like these are very different from house. They also aren’t as mass produced and oversaturated as house is. It is for these reasons that I was very pleased to find Fraser Valley native, Teen Daze giving away 30 of his unfinished, or “lost” songs for free. I have listened to all 30 and, for the most part, they’re all great. I will say though, I’d go with “Lost Songs 3” as my favorite compilation. The download links to the three compilations are below as well as arguably the top songs from each respective pack on Soundcloud, just to give you a taste. If the redundancy of whatever your preferred genre provides has got you looking for a breath of fresh air then this is it.

House | Bon Iver – Babys (Urban Contact’s Summer Soul Remix)
Posted by Mach on June 24, 2013
This is a great track for a relaxing Summer day. Urban Contact did a wonderful job on this remix. The vocals are smooth and beautiful, and the beat is chill enough to keep your drink cool. A must add for your Summer playlist.
Indie | Bend – Short Crush
Posted by mimada on May 12, 2013
It’s Sunday. You’re either exhausted from studying from finals or maybe you got a little too turnt up last night, so getting out of bed right now is taking every last bit of effort you have left. I get it. Now unless you’re one of those hyper motivated freaks who’s already made your protein shake, gone on a 5-mile run and is finishing up assignments for next week, you’re going to need something to get your blood flowing. I got just the thing and it’s BEND’s latest release, Short Crush. So here’s what you’re gonna do: download this song, crank it up bit by bit and watch as you gradually float out from under the covers and conquer the day (well, whatever’s left of it anyways).
Ah, the power of music.
