Chill, Drum & Bass, Dubstep | Fractal – Spection EP

Posted by on January 20, 2014

Fractal’s new two track EP called “Spection” is pretty impressive. He shows skill in two different genres, first drumstep in “Spection” and then chill/ambient in “Mountain Hunter”. Both tracks are excellent. “Spection” is fast, fun and full of growls. Definitely a head bobber. “Mountain Hunter” is mellow, eerie, and even though chill isn’t a genre that Fractal frequents, it was a pleasant surprise to see it done so well. This EP is worth checking out for sure.

Beatport: Fractal – Spection EP

Electronic | Mr. Carmack – sunday into monday funk

Posted by on January 20, 2014

It’s mid-morning already over here in snowy Sweden and I have not been able to bring myself to even think of stepping foot outside by bed until catching not one but TWO Carmack releases on his Soundcloud. The first, “sunday into monday funk” has proved to be my saving grace in dispelling any case of the Mondaze I might have encountered (with a little help from Earth, Wind & Fire), while the second, “by kaytra and me,” provides all the vibes you’d expect to hear in a collaboration between these two extraordinary producers.

Better indulge in these quick considering how quickly Carmack has been switching out the tracks on his Soundcloud as these are not to be missed.

Chill, Trap | Elaksi – Near Me

Elaski Near Me

SoundCloud

“Near Me” by Elaksi was introduced to me by a friend, and I love these chill trap records that have been coming out lately, and this one in particularly resonates with me. Elaksi is a 19 year old producer from Finland that has done unofficial remixes for Kanye West, Rustie, and Stwo among others, which I strongly suggest you venture through his SoundCloud. His usage of the smooth vocal sample, along with hard hitting 808 kicks and furiously fast hi-hats makes for an epic track! I look forward to hearing more from this young producer. This is a must listen!

Hip-Hop | MIKOS DA GAWD – Shaku [INSTRUMENTAL]

MIKOS DA GAWD

I hadn’t heard of this gentleman until hearing this song, but his name makes him sound like a stand-up guy – not one of those egoist producers. I listened to a bunch of the other tunes on his Soundcloud profile and they’re legit. Check the wicked beat on this chill piece. I love when he rolls it. The vocals are a prime fit. It’s a slow tune with a fast kick and it goes down smooth.

Hip-Hop | Bijan – Dream Team (feat. Lorde, Ipaneema) (Prod. Monaco)

To be entirely honest, I’ve been pretty disappointed with some of the new-age, more fratty rap that’s been coming out recently; but when Bijan hit me up with this track the other day, I couldn’t help but be pleasantly surprised. Featuring the hook from Lorde’s “Team,” the Bay Area native throws down a series of outrageously chill verses on an original beat by  Monaco, taking his game to the next level. If you’re looking for a new song to cruise and relax to, don’t miss out on the free download – big ups on this one.
