Posted by JT on September 18, 2015

Coming off the hype from ‘The Condo’, Harm Franklin releases another tune that’s getting me excited for his in-the-works mixtape ‘The Learning Curve 3.’ He’s also blessed our ears, recently working off a track with Atlanta’s hottest up-and-comer OG Maco on collaboration titled “25-8.” If you need any more proof you’re hearing a future Godfather of this generation of hip-hop artists, press play.

Posted by Juicebox on September 16, 2015
It’s not often that two of dance music’s biggest and best artists come together for a song, but when they do, it is sure to be massive. While a collaboration between Hardwell and Armin Van Buuren might have broken the Internet last year, the two dance music titans have finally put their heads together to deliver their latest main stage monster, “Off The Hook.” First played by Hardwell at Ultra Music Festival, “Off The Hook” combines the best of both producers, as the Revealed Recordings boss lays down a gritty, electro bass line, while Armin infuses the track with his trademark, up-tempo trance. You can get “Off The Hook” on Beatport here.
Hip-Hop | iLoveMakonnen and Sonny Digital team up on “Leave It There”
Posted by dshaq on July 28, 2015
Makonnen intrigues me very much due to his unique sound and lack of rapping. His voice is so different but all of his beats compliment his sound very well and keep me coming back for more. This time we have an excellent collaboration with Sonny Digital, who also produced I Don’t Sell Molly No More, and Makonnen. Straight up, Makonnen makes hits and this one is no different. Expect to be hearing this one around.

FYI | Uncovering Spinnin’s “You Know” ID
Posted by BIGLIFE on January 1, 2015
“You Know” has been floating around the web for quite some time. It was first announced as a collaboration between Oliver Heldens and Mike Mago, and teased in various mixes and “Heldeep Radio” episodes. It even had album art floating around. Names were thrown out (mostly by fans) and “Feelings” seemed to stick for a while, especially on 1001Tracklists.com. Last weekend, we attended Lights All Night in Dallas and had the opportunity to catch a Zed’s Dead set, which was impressively varied.
While watching the set, Zeds Dead played “You Know” an announced that “this was their new sh*t with Oliver Heldens” which we live-tweeted. It caught us completely off guard, but were excited to get that confirmation. Whether it’s a Oliver Heldens, Mike Mago, and Zeds Dead collaboration remains to be seen. Spinnin’ is understandably tight-lipped about the record. What we do know is that it’s a big record and we can’t wait for more information to become available. Keep your eye on this space.
“You Know” is available on February 2nd.
