StéLouse - Joyride

Facebook | SoundCloud | Twitter

Here’s a melodic trap banger for ya’ll, that’s just as G as it’s title, “Joyride” by StéLouse. Serving as the first single off his EP “The City” released via Australian label Die High Records, you know you’re in for a ride. The melody on this tune is just too smooth, accompanied with exotic vibes, and an overall West Coast flow, I’ve had this tune on repeat for the past 20 minutes, and it sounds so clear, you’re going to feel this one. This is def a must listen and a must download!

Electronic, Trap | Ostra – Won’t Do // Zu-Zumba

Posted by on May 14, 2014

Over here at FNT we’re die hard DIEHIGH fans so it came as no surprise that I was instantly hooked by one of their latest releases showcasing LA-based newcomer Ostra. This EP is pretty interesting considering the two very different approaches taken with each track. The first, “Won’t Do” will cater perfectly for those Wave Racer fans out there meanwhile the second is a fascinating collage of latin guitar, Mr.Carmack-esque trap, and crowds chanting. Diggin’ the originality. Cop this EP and keep an eye out for future releases from this newbie.

Electronic | Akouo – Last Time

Posted by on January 21, 2014

I originally fell in love with Tasmanian producer Akouo because of his remixes, which are often derived from a variety of genres and artists and evolve into fantastic original works on their own. Today Akouo (via Die High Records) brings us a taste of his own homemade production – and vocals! “Last Time,” the first single off his upcoming EP, Mesa, is everything and more I’d expect from the artist: a combination of that trending ADM sound that us everywhere else in the world can’t get enough of, and that special Akouo flavor.

“The track is basically about people who spend too much time trying to please the ones in their work environment and no time pleasing the ones they love. It also serves as a reminder or warning to my future self, to always put family first,” explains Akouo in a recent interview with Kick Kick Snare. Oh, what a lovely reminder to listen to, over and over again.

Chill, Electronic | Just A Gent – Dusty

Posted by on November 3, 2013

This was a very hard to categorize track, but none the less very cool. “Dusty” by Just A Gent is out on Die High Records, which is quickly becoming one of my favorite labels. It’s got a unique ambient background with some crazy beats. Overall this is very chill song, a diamond in the rough. Just A Gent is sixteen year old named Jacob Grant from Newcastle, Australia. I was honestly shocked to see his age, because this track is so classy. He’s grabbed my attention for sure. Download this track for free on Bandcamp!

Chill, Electronic | Chu. – Sunday Morning

Posted by on October 4, 2013

Chu is an upcoming artist from Australia, and definitely a name to look out for. He was one of the remixers on Slumberjack’s “Crave the Rain + Remixes” EP that came out a few days ago. This track would suit listeners who like more of an ambient electronic sound, not so much a party sound. I could see this light and airy track being something to listen to while studying, driving, or just hanging out. This track is released under Die High Records and is free on Bandcamp!
