Cuey just released his second song of the week, Rich Kid. With the help of Brenton Devuall and CJ Luzi this track is hot. Here’s what Brenton had to say about the track:
“I sent this shit to OnCue about two months ago. When we were first working with it, it sounded super swaggy. Some Houston x Brooklyn shit. I don’t know what it was really, but I really fucked with the feel of the track. I was sampling this, to begin with. Anyway, what started out as a quick, fun track eventually evolved into something a whole lot better. Once CJ got his hands on the beat, it really got taken to the next level. This is definitely the best shit I’ve ever been a part of and is what I consider to be part of the beginning of a completely new path for OnCue. I 100% believe that he is going to do some really important things in music. Not rap music, but all music. He’s definitely one of the smartest and most creative rappers I’ve ever seen let alone met. I’ve been telling everyone not to sleep on him but I think I’m done doing that. At this point, if you aren’t giving Cue a listen, it’s only a problem for you. I don’t know how much good shit I can say about him, and at this point I’m rambling, so fuck it. Enjoy Rich Kid.”
Dubstep | M.I.A. – Bad Girls (StereoHeroes Remix)
Posted by Spice on February 15, 2012
Ever since I watched the video for M.I.A.’s “Bad Girls” last week I knew we’d be in for a slew of heavy remixes. What I didn’t realize is that one would come so quickly. StereoHereos brings the filth on this, adding a wicked beat and some grimy synthwork that complement the tone of the song perfectly. If you haven’t checked out the video yet you definitely should — if only because I really need someone to tell me where I can buy everything that M.I.A. is wearing and how I can get my car to do that.
Hip-Hop | Ess Vee – Get Right To It
Posted by BIGLIFE on February 5, 2012
Word to the wise, persistence pays off. If you’re hungry, you’ll eat. I’ve got to hand it to Ess Vee – his team stayed on my case about getting this dope track posted – he’s definitely armed with passion and hunger. I’m an FNT grandfather so I’m slow to post but when I do, pay attention. Ess Vee harnesses the power of music to reflect upon his life in an introspective fashion. His lyrics are fresh and pertinent to his life events and the social issues, which exist in our present culture.

Dubstep | Foxes – Youth (Adventure Club Remix)
Posted by Spice on February 1, 2012
Adventure Club brings their trademark wobbles to this moody, deceptively chilled out remix. Really feeling the almost hypnotic way they’ve chopped the vocals in counterpoint to the background synths towards the end of the track. I’ve been very impressed by everything Adventure Club has put out lately and definitely think we’ll be seeing a lot more of these guys in 2012….

Mashups | Super Mash Bros – Yo Dawg, I Heard You Like Music So I Put Songs In This Song So You Can Listen To Music While You Listen to Music – Xzibit
Posted by Juicebox on January 31, 2012
Super Mash Bros are back with quite the eclectic mashup. Featuring tracks from all genres with classics like, “Everybody Dance Now” to recent sensations such as, “Pumped Up Kicks,” Super Mash Bros delivers as usual. While the track is definitely worth a download, is it just me or does this Girl Talk/Super Mash Bro style of mashups seem so boring compared to the bangers 3LAU, Kap Slap, & DJ Trademark have been putting out?

Arty first premiered this ID above at Pier 94 a few weeks ago, and sounds extraordinary, a truly monumental record still waiting on a release date. So below, to start your weekend off right I scoured the net for the best and amounted to nothing less than a buffet of progressive gems. All of these heaters are placed in no particular order and each deserves adequate attention. I’m sure a few are destined for immediate download.
Names is an exciting record that builds into a lively drop, get it on iTunes.

Kawaii is an immersion of happiness waiting for you to press play, get it on Beatport.

Tobi D’Eramo sounds like he’s ramping up to become something special in EDM. I predict he’s on the verge of monstrous records in the near future, let this be a reminder of his talented ear and what’s next to come.

At first I considered this track a bit mild with a mediocre synth, and later felt the underlying piano gave it that extra dimension needed so, considered it worth my ears.

Alex Engström elaborates on the soulful side of progressive with his take on Revita, rarely do you get a chilling effect from progressive records. Alex Engström manages to capitalize on that, making it my favorite track of the bunch, get it!

Hip-Hop | Pretty Lights – We Must Go On
Posted by Mach on January 26, 2012
Didn’t think this was going to be the next single from Pretty Lights, but I wont complain. Pretty Lights has this track labeled as Hip-Hop Soul, and you can definitely feel that vibe. I can only imagine what some of you are going to say in the chatbox, “That’s not hip-hop,” but what you don’t realize is that hip-hop is not defined by having raps. Although, I would really like to see some rappers do covers of it. This track is just more proof of Pretty Lights’ musical genius. Kick back, light one up, and enjoy.
