Trap | $aturn – Cross Roads ft. Skrux
Posted by BP on February 21, 2014
The combination of $aturn and Skrux caught my attention immediately, and I knew this would be a good track. $aturn has been putting out a good bunch of “lovetrap” style songs recently, and getting Skrux involved could only make them better. In this track called “Cross Roads ft. Skrux” each drop is different and exciting. While remaining melodic, this original trap song takes many twists and turns. Personally, my favorite drop is around 2:30. Scoop this one up for free on Facebook!

Progressive House | Vlad Lucan – Let The Good Times Roll
Posted by Middy on February 18, 2014
Vlad Lucan who got his start producing hip hop and pop hits in Romania, recently turned his production talents to dance music. His remix last summer of YesYou ft. Marcus Azon “Frivolous Life” became a fast favorite of mine, and he brings a similar sound to this original. It may be still winter and there’s 3 feet of snow in my front yard, but that does not mean we can’t gear up for warmer temperatures with summery tunes like this one. The classic sample from Earl King gives the tune a feel good vibe accompanied by Vlad’s cheery, melodic, synth chords. It’s yours for free, so get it now.

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 =^.^=

I have said it before and I will say it again Maino is one of my favorite rap artists. Earlier today the Brooklyn native released his newest EP entitled “K.O.B” which is short for “King of Brooklyn” . One of my favorite tracks is “Great” ft. 911 Kev which is produced by the homie Myles William and Reefa for ATM. The song provides a hard New York beat, some smooth background vocals that warm the track up for a dope delivery from Maino. Check out this track below and download his free EP. This is a must listen and a must download!
