Hip-Hop, Rap, Trap | Kanye West – Flashing Lights (TWRK Remix)

Posted by on November 27, 2013

At the beginning this song makes out to be just another twerk remix with claps on claps on claps… but once the synths kick in, this remix goes from twerking to trapping. Such a good collaboration of the two genres and use of the sample. Don’t get me wrong – I have a strong love for the original, but the way that TWRK has redone the edit, completely new way of listening to the song without getting bored!

Everyone knows that the amount of plain black or white v-necks an artist owns is a direct correlation to their production prowess, which is why it makes perfect sense that Marcus Santoro practically lives in v-necks. He has somehow managed to hold himself back from taking pictures of his dog and laptop screen long enough to release a couple of tracks for free. The first one being his remix of Strange Talk’s “Picking Up All The Pieces” that he completed some time ago but because of complications with labels and, of course, Avicii, it is just now seeing the light of day as a free download. The second is a new original done in collaboration with fellow Australian producer Djuro.

Dubstep | Blink-182 – Adam’s Song (PRFFTT & Svyable Remix)

Blink-182 - Adam's Song (PRFFTT & Svyable Remix)What?!?! Damn, I remember when I heard first heard each of these guys, the first collaboration they released together, and now I will never forget one of the sweetest Blink-182 remixes I have ever set my ears upon by none other than PRFFTT & Svyable. It only took the intro of this song for me to know that this was going to make my week, and the next weeks to come. You have to listen to this.

DO SOMETHING

The DMV is next up. We’ve seen cities emerge this past year and show off their stars, but really and truly, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia is blossoming with so much talent that it is becoming impossible to ignore. At the forefront of the movement is the Hostile Youth clan.

Today I bring to you an offering from two of the Hostile Youth members, Ace Cosgrove and Uno Hype. The duo delivers a eerie track with a hint of jazz, perfect for your post-halloween festivities. The song clocks in at only 2 minutes, meaning there will hopefully be plenty more collaboration in the near future.

Chill, Electronic | Mr Fijiwiji – Friends EP

Posted by on October 16, 2013

Whenever Mr FijiWiji puts out something new, it’s killer. This album includes collaboration tracks with other artists, presumably why the EP is titled, “Friends”. Each track is very emotional and you can hear Mr Fijiwiji’s chill influence in every one. I can’t pick a favorite from this album because really all three tracks are fantastic. This chill EP is out on Monstercat Records so be sure to pick a copy and support!

Electronic | FLXXDS- Two Coins (City & Colour Cover)

Posted by on September 24, 2013

FLXXDS is a three part project made up of Gazzo, Crywolf, and half of PRFFTT & Svyable. Their cover of “Two Coins” gives the beautiful original track by City and Colour a new electronic twist. It’s fresh and clean while the melancholy vibe of the original track is still kept in tact. I’m excited to hear more from this new group! This one’s free so check it out!

Teqq and Alive&Kicking are both producers who I don’t know much about. Teqq is from Germany and Alive&Kicking is American as far as I can tell. That’s really all I know. W8, back in the day when he was into this genre first shared Teqq with me and I have been keeping an eye on him since. “Mistake”, his latest release is in collaboration with the aforementioned Alive&Kicking and I think his best work yet.
