Albums, Hip-Hop, RnB | The Weeknd – Initiation, Drake Pushes Back “Take Care”

Posted by on October 8, 2011

 

If there’s one thing we know about The Weeknd, its to savor a track when he puts one out because singles from him come few and far in between. Since his last project, Thursday, we haven’t heard much from the mysterious RnB singer. Not to put Abel Tesfaye in a box but this track is something a little different than what we’re used to hearing from the Toronto native, being that he tones down the singing a bit and spits a few rhymes. Speaking of Toronto, Weeknd supporter, Drake, just stated via his OVO blog that he will be pushing the release date of Take Care to November 15th due to some setbacks with getting samples cleared for the album.

Posted by on October 8, 2011

With Skrillex’s mysterious new album being held over our heads currently, I felt it was only right to post up his newest tour video. I also identified all the tracks in the video, and I provided downloads for the tracks below. Skrillex is seriously living the life right now. He can do what ever he wants, and his fans love him even more for it. No word yet on the drop date for his new album, but no doubt until it drops I will check everyday.

TRACK 1: Madeon – Pop Culture (Mashup)

TRACK 2: Skrillex – Ruffneck (Kaba Re-Rub)

TRACK 3: Skrillex – Scary Monsters And Nice Sprites (Redial’s Blastoise Edit)

House, Preview | Avicii & Nicky Romero Live Preview, Dimitri Vangelis & Wyman, Hard Rock Sofa

Posted by on October 7, 2011

I know I posted this before, but it got lost in the server switch. This collaboration between Avicii and Nicky Romero that was hinted at on twitter recently has recently surfaced at Nocturnal Wonderland and it is going to be huge. No word on release date yet. These Dimitri Vangelis & Wyman remixes are some quality progressive house songs. The first is an absolute bomb and I have had it on repeat ever since I got it. The second remix is another bomb with some female vocals and uplifting synths.

This Hard Rock Sofa is slightly older and I apologize. It has everything you are looking for in a progressive house and has been getting support from the top DJs around the world.

Dubstep | Skrillex’s Upcoming Album

Posted by on October 6, 2011

For those of you that tuned into BBC Radio 1 with MistaJam on Sept. 27th, you heard Skrillex himself announce that he is in fact dropping a new album. When he was asked by MistaJam about the possibility of a new album, Skrillex flat out stated that he hopes to drop his new album early October! If not by then, he jokingly said he would drop it for free…hint maybe? There is no official date set for the new albums release, nor is there a track list or an album name released. Talk about short notice, but either way, it could only be day(s) until the Prince of Dubstep has graced us with another epic release.

BONUS DUBSTEP

New Release from Megaclown, glad to see he stuck with his dubstep roots on this one.

Drivepilot is one of my favorite ‘filthy’ producers. After I included one of his epic remixes on the Dubstep Essentials, I realized it has been quite some time since a new one. Loving the drop on this.

House, Preview | Tim Mason

Posted by on October 6, 2011

This Tim Mason song is going to be massive. No word on release date, but the production is unbelievable. Tim Mason the Manchester native signed to Size Records, delivers us a model of how to make a progressive house remix of an indie song with his rendering of PNAU’s “Solid Ground”. The vocals are perfectly integrated within a melodic build that comes together in a synth and bass driven drop. Get this on Beatport HERE.

Hip-Hop | Mac Miller-On Some Real Shit Pt. 2

Posted by on October 4, 2011

Slowing it down to spit “some real shit.” November 8th still going to be the date that Blue Slide Park comes out? I highly doubt that, go pre-order your copy on iTunes so he will release it earlier! If not, listen to Mac “come into the booth and just speak.” It’s necessary to just slow down and think, something that you forget about doing when you’re caught up with all the modern day stimulations.
