Freestyle, Hip-Hop, Rap | Vonny del Fresco – Studies
Posted by admin on February 19, 2014
Vonny del Fresco is fresh off the release of his After the Fall EP and decided to keep his fans on their toes with a short burst of music. “Studies” is a minute long freestyle/video that oozes energy and takes you on an robotic-sounding ride. The song was originally produced by Mr. Carmack, a name that is becoming increasingly popular in hip-hop production, and del Fresco decided to give the new-school production wave a spin with some sharp rhymes penetrating the already complex instrumental.

Posted by Middy on February 17, 2014
Amsterdam veteran duo, Mason are back with another 3-track EP (the third is some abstract refurb of the “Savantas”), and we are here to bring the exclusive download for the A-side “Savantas”. Minimal and tough, “Savantas” relies on a punchy kick and a brooding melody that makes this easy to slip into any techno-styled set. The EP has already seen some support from names like Brodinski, Digitalism, Groove Armada and more, so don’t miss out on the free download. Grab “Savantas” and “Herd On The Scene” on Beatport here or just grab the exclusive free download of “Savantas” below.

Albums, Electronic | Cashmere Cat – Wedding Bells EP & Video
Posted by mimada on February 13, 2014
Yes folks, this is the week we have all been waiting for. Just a few days ago, our favorite feline Cashmere Cat dropped his highly anticipated EP, appropriately titled Wedding Bells, and as a follow up, the music video counterpart for the title track.
As a whole, the EP is a musical journey with uplifting builds and cadences of flutes, piano chords, and dew drops that send you soaring like a leaf wistfully falling in the breeze. In accordance with the theme, each track plays out a motif that strikes a different chord of your heart strings, from the early stages of butterflies and passing notes to the all encompassing feeling of true, uninhibited love. *swoon*
And it seems Cashmere Cat has a complete grasp of his artistic vision in every possible sense, as the visual pairing for the leading single compliments the track in the most compassionate of ways.
Now, according to a Pitchfork review by Nate Patrin, the innovative and “fundamental” nature of the EP marks a turning point in the direction of electronic music, and even more importantly Cashmere’s skyrocketing career. But I beg to differ with Patrin’s claim that it is difficult to develop any sort of “emotional connection to the cuts” as instilling that type of emotion in his listeners seems to be at the top of his artistic agenda. While Patrin argues that these melodies create more “agitation than elation,” I think that’s what causes us to enjoy the EP more and more. There are those moments of slight unease that with a second listen, evolve into strong feelings of adoration, like taking yourself of your listening comfort zone and discovering a whole new appreciation for the sound.
If you haven’t already, you can purchase the Wedding Bells EP via iTunes, and consider saving some money on chocolate and roses tomorrow and burn a copy of it for your significant other as well. That’s when the real magic happens =^.^=

Chill, Electronic | LOFT – EP1
Posted by BP on February 13, 2014
“EP1” by Loft was one of those EP’s that actually grabbed my full attention away from what I was doing. Harrison Zafrin, of Bombs and Bottles, is releasing these tracks under the alias of Loft. The Bombs and Bottles sound can be heard in the tracks, but they’re also very different. These three tracks are mellow, emotional, and moving. The vocals are all beautiful, and the production is top notch. This EP gets a huge thumbs up from me, and if you’re feelin’ it all three of these tracks are free to download through Soundcloud.
Chill, Electronic | SYZ & ORCA – Outtaspace
Posted by BP on February 12, 2014
It’s just hit after hit from Cream Collective this week. SYZ and Orca came together on this track to create a deep ambient space with creative twists. “Outtaspace” is dreamy and mesmerizing. Vocal chops dance over pulsating synths in this chill masterpiece. I am impressed with the frequency and quality of work coming from both these artists. They are definitely names to watch out for. SYZ has an EP called “Roses” coming out on Cream Collective very soon – keep an eye out, and grab this track for free while you wait!
