Compilation | What’s In Dshaq’s Tape Deck vol. 3
Posted by dshaq on April 24, 2013
After a brief hiatus, I’m back and ready to give you some tunes guaranteed to make you feel giddy inside. Instead of my regular hip-hop posts, I’m broadening my horizons with this volume including some electronic artists and other various genres. Prepare yourselves.
1) Cherub
Luckily I was able to see Cherub last weekend and they blew me away. Their synthy pop sound gives off an state of ecstasy that is guaranteed to get you grooving and bopping your head. Cherub hails from Nashville and has actually been around for a little bit, but has failed to receive the praise they deserve. Their Doses and Mimosas video (which is my favorite track by them), has over 600,000 views on youtube and I definitely see them blowing up very soon. Check out the video below and check out their Facebook, Twitter, and Soundcloud pages below.

Hip-Hop, Pop | Bridge – Creature of Habit: Part 1 [Mixtape]
Posted by Grubeats on April 15, 2013
We introduced LA artist, and 1st Round Records signee, Bridge, a couple weeks back when he released his riveting video single, “Do Ya Right“. Last week the singer/songwriter/rapper released his debut mixtape, Creature of Habit: Part 1. Bridge’s style is definitely something for the tastemakers. From seductive vocals to hard bars, Bridge’s versatility between singing and rapping offers up a compelling balance for both the men and the ladies.

Dubstep | Reso – When It Drop
Posted by Sev on April 1, 2013
After we got this little preview last week, it turns out Reso wasn’t playing an April fools prank after all. Reso has been destroying the scene lately with some of the most creative pieces to release. This new emergence of Neuro-hop is very exciting because the genre has no bounds and Reso is definitely paving the way for people wanting to get involved. I would say without hesitation that he is the current king of Neuro-hop. His tracks always have the perfect blend of hip-hop and neuro/glitch that it’s hard not to listen to the tracks on repeat all day. So much inspiration and creativity is coming from this artist that I would recommend you all follow him and be on the lookout for his releases.

Chill, House | Fenech Soler – Maiyu (Lane 8 Remix)
Posted by Mach on March 26, 2013
Who doesn’t love Fenech-Soler, seriously. Every different vocal is an emotional classic. Lane 8 did a nice job on this remix, it greatly reflects the Fenech-Soler original with a very chill compliment in its progression. An all around beautiful remix and definitely a must download in my opinion.
Chill, Dubstep | CoMa – Wouldn’t It Be Good If It Was True (ENiGMA Dubz Mix)
Posted by Mach on March 14, 2013
Enigma does it again, but I don’t have to tell anyone else that. Days go by, and Enigma makes one release after another. This most recent freebie of his is one of the more beautiful tracks he has ever done. The original from CoMa was great, but Enigma had just forced it to evolve into something better. If you need a mid-week break, this remix will definitely help restore your life energy.
Progressive House | Little Daylight – Overdose (The Chainsmokers Remix)
Posted by Mel on March 13, 2013
Continuing their trend of remixing indie songs, quite possibly the greatest producing duo to ever exist besides Daft Punk and pretty much everyone else, The Chainsmokers have released another classic. For those who are unaware of who these two fine gentlemen are, i’ll briefly describe them. Have you ever thought about taking a bath and then realized what a ridiculous idea that is? Or how about when you’re home alone so you use the washroom with the door open but then your dog comes in and just stares at you. That’s what The Chainsmokers are. They’re the dog that watches you pee and the bath you don’t want to have. “Why is that?” you may ask. Well that’s because they think Leighton Meester is a 6.5 and Megan Fox is a 10.
But enough about their inaccurate scale of objectifying women, they just released a new song. They say it’s by far their favorite remix they’ve done and I can see why. I’m not sure if I like it better than their classic “Around Us” remix, but it’s definitely close. It’s in my top 200 for sure. The Chainsmokers have perfected the formula that they’ve used for their previous remixes. As well as having mastered such a rare thing these days, an intro that I actually enjoy listening to, they have a knack for injecting the energy of house music into songs while keeping much of the feel of the original intact. Sit back, click play, and ponder this wonderful piece of advice I was given by the guys themselves “if you’re anything as witty as you are online, you will likely get laid before you die… 😉

Hip-Hop, Videos | Kyle Lucas & Captain Midnite — I’m Only A Little Crazy, Baby (Haunting Me) [Music Video]
Posted by jeffwbaird on March 4, 2013
Here is the latest video from one of my favorite emcee/producer duos, Kyle Lucas and Captain Midnite. Just off the heels of the Seattle producer’s most recent EP, All This Will Fade, Midnite connects with the Marietta rapper over this fiery track, complete with some visuals that definitely live up to the track’s name (hint: there’s murder, straight jackets, and an insane asylum, among other things). Check the video out below, and if you haven’t gotten their most recent collaborations, you’re going to want to get on that now.
