Albums | ill-Esha – Happiness Is Lonely
Posted by Nick on March 2, 2014
Without making too much of a political statement, I just think it’s worth taking note of female producers who can get their work recognized. Honestly, it’s quite a bit harder for women in this part of the music industry to get noticed, so when they do, it’s definitely in your best interest to check them out.
This time with a chilled-out, dubstep original, Denver native ill-Esha gives you something special to kick back to, bringing together deep bass and slow vibes in an incredible fashion. Luckily for you, the entire 11-track Open Heart Surgery album is up for “name your price” download on Bancamp, so make sure you grab yourself a copy.

Chill, Electronic, Trap | Amp Live – Closer to the Sun (Colorado Dreamin’)
Posted by Nick on March 2, 2014
Coming at you from the 5-1-0 (Oakland), star producer Amp Live, also 1/2 of the hit Bay Area rap group Zion I, has just released another track under his solo alias, bringing you probably some of the chillest vibes you’ll hear all day. Featuring smooth acoustic guitar, clean wobbles, and fresh vocals from The ReMINDers, Timeline, & Sloppy Joe, “Closer to the Sun” delivers a unique sound that showcases Amp‘s wealth of potential to grow outside of his involvement with Zion I and flourish as an individual. After you hit play, don’t forget to give him a like or a follow on one of his social media outlets – definitely worth it.

Chill, Electronic | The Weeknd – Wanderlust (Snakehips Remix)
Posted by Nick on March 1, 2014
I have literally been obsessed with this remix for the past 24 hours. Literally. And I don’t mean the figurative type of literal that sorority girls use (e.g. – “Oh my gosh, I am literally dying right now.”) – I mean that I have been bumping this track non-stop for the past day, praying it doesn’t get old too quickly.
Throwing down a funked-out version of The Weeknd’s “Wanderlust,” the UK-based homies Snakehips will have you on your feet as soon as the vocals fade in, making it a prime addition to your party playlist. By far my principle nominee for the track of the week, turn this one up loud. Literally.

Posted by Nick on February 27, 2014
It’s definitely been too long, but the Gutter Brothers are finally back with a new tune, following their Beatport chart topping EP “Dat Ass.” The original track features deep, twerk-worthy bass blended with precisely chopped M.I.A. samples, skillfully creating a sound you’ll want to party to all weekend. To add to it all, it even has early support from Notixx, KickRaux, and Brillz. Luckily for you, the record is up for free, so make sure you grab a copy – just try not to “WRCK.”

Bootleg, Chill | ASTR – Hold on We’re Going Home (Tim Gunter 808 Bootleg)
Posted by dshaq on February 19, 2014
Refreshing. And that’s not describing my Starbucks Coffee that I’m currently drinking. Tim Gunter’s new take on ASTR’s cover of “Hold on We’re Going Home” is refreshing, bone-chilling, and majestic. Slowing down the beat and allowing the beautiful vocals to really shine through shows Tim’s brilliance and it’s always great to hear a new take on a song we’ve heard so many times yet still love. Make sure to show Tim some love on his Facebook and Soundcloud below and also to peep the song too. Big things for this guy in the future, and with every new release he reaffirms my claim even more.
Bass, Trap | T-Pain & Yung Joc – Buy U a Drank (Andrew Luce Remix) [Free Download]
Posted by Nick on February 18, 2014
With yet another banger from his (now) biweekly installment “Humpday Heaters,” the wonder-boy Andrew Luce has done it again, this time with a remix of the 2007 classic “Buy U a Drank” by T-Pain. The tune features clean piano chords laced over deep, sensual bass, taking you back and forth between a mixture of baby-making and party vibes. I know it’s post-Valentine’s day at this point, but if you’re still looking to impress that special lady, it’s probably worth grabbing the free download on this one.

Chill, House | The Red Hot Chili Peppers – Scar Tissue (N’to Remix) [Free Download]
Posted by Nick on February 18, 2014
I’m not entirely sure how I missed this, but if you did too, I highly recommend you come check out this remix of The Red Hot Chili Peppers’ “Scar Tissue” – like right now. N’to, a producer from the depths of France, released this housed-up edit about a month ago, and it’s probably one of the coolest twists on a classic track that I’ve heard in a while. So – kick back, relax, and throw this one on repeat for a little while: I promise you won’t be disappointed.
