House | James Egbert – Back To New (3LAU REMIX)

Posted by on March 5, 2012


As you guys know, we’ve been backing this kid since Kap Slap first introduced us to him. 3LAU has had a ridiculous rise to fame in the past couple of months and is absolutely killing it in the college/edm scene. With his ever Beatport release coming out mid April (a remix of James Egbert’s “Back To New”) we only felt it appropriate to post the preview. There’s no doubt about it…3LAU is on his way. Also, make sure you take a second to check out his live set at Congress Theater here, trust us. What do you guys think…is 3LAU the next big thing?

Hip-Hop | Ryan Hemsworth – Faith In Something (Ft. Deniro Farrar & Shady Blaze)

Posted by on January 28, 2012

Canadian hip-hop producer Ryan Hemsworth, just had this new track of his featured on Spin Magazine. It has been described as an angsty feeling track, but think the vibe of the track is sick. Ryan uses samples of Rick Ross to create a cool hook over the epic beat. Deniro Farrar starts off the track sounding a bit like Tyler, The Creator, then Shady Blaze finishes off the track picking up the pace. Not your usual college hip-hop, but Ryan is definitely making a name for himself as a producer in the genre.

Albums | Dshaq’s Top 10 of 2011

Posted by on January 11, 2012

2011 was a big year. I started blogging, I got accepted into college, all that good stuff. It was pretty tough going through the iTunes library and narrowing down the choices to just these 10 but I’m pretty happy with it and hopefully it’s a crowd pleaser. Without further ado here is my top 10 of 2011.

10. Lets just say had this song not come out I probably would not like Skizzy Mars as much as I do. This was the first song I heard by Skizzy and his wordplay and unique sound got me hooked.
Skizzy Mars – Douchebag

9.Out of Mac’s 2 mixtapes, album, and EP he released this year, I’m going away from those and with the under the radar track that he did with DJ Premier. This beat alone probably could’ve made the list but Mac spits some quality bars over it.
Mac Miller – Face The Facts

8. This song was literally on repeat all summer…and still is today.
Aer – Feel I Bring

7. I had no idea that my favorite character on Community was able to spit fire like this. I mean the beat is insane but his wordplay is even crazier. Excited to see more from Mr. Glover in 2012
Childish Gambino – Freaks and Geeks

6. This song is pure happiness. I don’t know how else to explain it except that this beat is mesmerizing.
Neon Indian – Polish Girl

5. I don’t know what I enjoy more in this song either the beat or his voice. It’s such a powerful and dark song.
The Weeknd – Wicked Games

4. Macklemore’s ability to tell a story through his lyrics is mind-boggling good. The emotion in this song pours out line by line.
Macklemore – Wings

3. This song alone made me really appreciate Frank Ocean as an artist and also dabble into his other music, which thank god i did.
Frank Ocean – Novacane

2. Ever since A$AP released that mixtape, I honestly can’t go a day without listening to it. This song in particularly, especially with his flow and lyrics in it.
A$AP Rocky – Peso (Prod. By ASAP Ty Beats)

1. Well where do I begin on this one. 2011 was a big year for Tyler and the GOLF WANG. He supplied us with hands down the best Nardwuar Interview, a phenomenal album and countless other funny outbursts that kept us entertained. Although I love this beat and Tyler’s lyrics, I think the video might be even better and it definitely helped create the buzz that really got them on the main stage. I’m really excited to see what’s in store from the Golf Wang hooligans in 2012, especially if Earl comes back.
Tyler, The Creator – Yonkers

Electro-House | Coyote Kisses

Posted by on December 8, 2011

I would like to introduce to you guys Coyote Kisses. They are two college kids Joe and Bryce from Lakeland, Florida and go to school in Florida and Virginia. Bryce is classically trained in piano and Joe plays guitar and bass, and this comes out in their work with the production skill and creativity that is brought to each song as it is not just another copycat electro-house or dubstep song. They decided to make EDM only very recently and have not looked back. They are coming out with an EP at some point in the future and will be releasing a few songs within the next few weeks. Here are a few of their songs below and make sure to give them love on Facebook and check out their other stuff on Soundcloud.
Updated with two more songs.

Hip-Hop, RnB | Mike Posner ft. Bun B-Rocket Man

Posted by on November 15, 2011

Since enrolling at said college, I have become an insomniac thus the reason I always post chill melodic tunes. Mike Posner hits us with just that, super chill and super flowing. Bun B slaps it with his verse as he finishes out the song. Sorry I’m not sorry for a certain genre of music always being posted, but you gotta do what you gotta do. Insomniacs will appreciate this and maybe hit it up with some visualizer? Simple pleasures.

In order to prep everyone for their EP, which drops sometime in early 2012, New Linen is giving us a sneak peak at what’s to come. Making the Most is a clean acoustic/hip hop jam with a catchy chorus complimented by smooth verses. If this is a preview of whats to come, I can’t wait to hear what else New Linen has in store for us in 2012.
