Events, Review | Ed Banger Celebrates 10 Years In Style At Hammerstein Ballroom
Posted by Middy on November 13, 2013
First off, congrats to one of the best labels at remaining true to a vision that does not follow the beaten path, regardless of what the current trend might be. It has most notably been known for the releases of French super-duo Justice, but has also been home to the releases of Breakbot, DJ Mehdi, its owner Busy P and others. The label has always brought something different to the table and this show exemplified that.
Trap | Naughty Boy – Think About It (feat. Wiz Khalifa & Ella Eyre) [TWRK Remix]

Not too lyric heavy and just the right about of catchy trap beats to fill the void, this remix by NYC producer TWRK is pretty noteworthy to say the least. Great for DJ sets and underground parties.
Bass | DJ Prime – Big Room Bass (Original Mix)

DJ Prime aka Prime releases “Big Room Bass”, a hart hitting electro-house record that’s sure to get everyone going once the beat drops at the tag line “give me the fucking bass!” I last featured Prime with his debut single “So Fly” featuring vocals from Oh Snap, and this is a different direction more fit for the clubs, but can bump just as hard in your headphones. To celebrate this release Prime is giving out Big Room Bass t-shirts to all of you who purchase the record, all you have to do is send a screenshot to [email protected] with your name, address, and shirt size, and the man will hook it up! Support, and expect more music from the radio DJ soon!

Ever since this Montreal based producer has hit his groove, everyone has wanted a slice of Kaytranada, preforming in venues and killing it. Here’s a dope DJ set that he recently did in NYC.
Electro-House | Lars Allertz – Make You Mine
Posted by mimada on November 5, 2013
Presenting you another guest post from our Swedish sweetheart, Rebecca!
”Everyone can do what I do,” said Avicii in an interview with the Swedish men’s magainze Café, which the publication happened to showcase on the cover of last month’s issue. The outspoken young man has had a lot to say about the industry lately; of course everyone else apart from the artistic genius himself are in the business only for making money. Touring Vegas, having an abnormal obsession with including Ralph Lauren in all aspects of your career, and attacking the States with an album of American country sounds is all about being freely creative, right? But for once, this Avicii quote actually makes sense.
Like some ”guru of EDM,” Avicii has doomed the future of EDM (perhaps because he realized what his own front page quote really means…) and especially progressive and electro house. I am just waiting for Avicii to go full folklore. There must be money to make from the Amish music scene!
His prophecy may come to light but not before a certain newcomer’s career fully blossoms. Introducing someone else who does it, and does it more than well: Lars Allertz. The upcoming, new Avicii-before-he-became-whatever-he-is-now, is making his way through the DJ-booths in Sweden and London. The Stockholm-based 21-year-old just released the song that has every quality to be his big breakthrough. Already last year he was recognized for his early works by DJs such as Tiesto, but has yet to reach the audience. ”Make you mine” has it. Pay attention to the finely-tuned vocals and the Latino strings that put Allertz’s own mark to the, according to a specific DJ’s general opinions (no names mentioned…), “soulless electro house beat” (that means to general ears: a well-created melody with a powerful drop). Left your own territory because you’re frightened of the competition, Tim?
As in typical Swedish fashion, the full version of “Make You Mine” is available on Spotify but check out the preview below and purchase the track via iTunes if it makes you feel that type of way.

Trap | Elos – Auto (Djemba Djemba & King Henry Remix)
Posted by Nick on November 2, 2013
For those of you who have been a little out of the loop, half of Penthouse Penthouse got arrested for trying to get his DJ equipment out of a warehouse that was being raided by police. The bad news: his bail is crazy high (around $20,000). The good news, however (if you could call it that), is a lot of artists have been putting out new music in an effort to raise money to help the homie out. So, Penthouse’s label Team Supreme just released a mixtape (which can be found on Bandcamp HERE) with a bunch of donated tracks from tons of talented, supportive artists. Put your part in, and make sure to cop a download of this remix of Elos’ track “Auto” by Djemba Djemba and King Henry. It has a bassline you won’t forget – definitely a Saturday-night-slap. #FREEPENTHOUSE.

Cover, Hip-Hop, Rap | Kid Slim & K.Weezy – Tour Van Jams
Posted by J_Salzer on November 2, 2013
A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to see Kid Slim open up for Fresh New Tracks legend, SoMo. To put my experience lightly, it was cathartic. Kid Slim was an artist who I had contact with early in his career when his music was not blog-ready. To see his progression is one of the most fabulous things I’ve experienced. After I told him his music was not good enough to be on our site, I now tell you all that his music is quite good enough to be on this site. His latest mixtape, Freshman 15, was phenomenal, and his stage presence in undeniable.
One of my favorite segments from the show was when he and his DJ/producer K.Weezy, switched it up a little and hit the fans with a cover of “Best I Ever Had.” The girls, and myself, went crazy. K. Weezy did a phenomenal job on the strings and Kid Slim surprised everyone with a voice I would never have expected from the 6 foot 8 man. We have been blessed with a full version of their impromptu jam on last weeks edition of “Tour Van Jams,” which can be found above. If you’re in the mood for a couple of laughs, check out the cover of “I Like Big Butts” below. Kid Sim has come a long way, and he’s going to go a lot farther, so hop on while you can!
