Electronic, House, Techno | Spice’s Top 10 Tracks of 2013
Posted by Spice on December 22, 2013
2013 was a year of many momentous things. Including the insanely awesome above shot, which was taken by yours truly with a cracked iPhone (and it’s frankly still a mystery as to how I managed to pull it off. I mean, look at that thing. That thing is next level. Eat your heart out, Rukes). In keeping with all the seasonal nostalgia, here are my picks for the best tracks of the year.

Posted by Middy on December 20, 2013
It’s that time of the year, the deluge of top something lists are being forced down your throat, for better or for worse, and we are not going to miss out on the party. In addition, to more general top tracks, albums or the year type of things, some of us have chosen our favorites of the year. Start the countdown.
Trap | Ian Munro x Kyle Van Riper – Swing It
Posted by yabishcic on December 18, 2013
So I’m all for the classic jive, but this modern take on “Swing It” by Do Androids Dance is probably one of my new favorite trap tracks. It’s delightfully unexpected but by all means feel free to go off to this Ian Munro masterpiece. Trap’s not music? I beg to differ.
Exclusive, Hip-Hop, Videos | Dylan Owen — Ghosts Revisited [Music Video & Interview]
Posted by jeffwbaird on December 17, 2013
There are very few artists shy of national recognition who seem to have really found themselves as artists; those who have truly discovered their sound and taken advantage of how it connects and resonates with people. Dylan Owen most definitely has, and with each release his understanding of his sound—that carefully crafted blend of highly-skilled lyricism, indie song-craft, and honesty—becomes more illuminated. It’s no wonder that he’s gained such a tight-knit following as quickly as he has. He’s not afraid to wrestle with conflict or to embrace his vulnerability, and that’s where his talent as a songwriter and rapper pays off the most. Today, Dylan has let go of a new video for “Ghosts Revisited”, a song that originally appeared on his 2012 EP Keep Your Friends Close. The song has been revised and updated (and now features additional vocals by Kiah Victoria and Kaleigh Young), which is fitting, given the time since he wrote the original, and how the experiences depicted have shifted in his mind throughout time. To give you a better understanding of how this process began, what he envisioned for this version, and what we can expect to see next, I reached out to Dylan, and below you can see what he had to say.
Electro | Disclosure – Latch (Stwo & Phazz Edition)
Posted by yabishcic on December 16, 2013
Phazz has to be one of my favorite musical installations in the industry in the last couple of years and his remixes really do it for me. This isn’t only funky, but feel good as well and the original Disclosure song has a run for its money with this Stwo & Phazz edition; “Was the other night with my bro @stwosc on skype and we suddenly decided to do this edition of Disclosure … Hope y’all like it folks.” -Phazz
Electro, Trap | Flight Facilities – Stand Still feat. Micky Green (Wave Racer remix)
Posted by dshaq on December 9, 2013
Wave Racer has been one of my favorite new artists with his bouncy take on so many different songs. The Future Classic label is stacked and Australia is budding with emerging new producers and Wave Racer is at the forefront. The whistles mixed with the bouncy bass and catchy synths are magical. This one is going to be on repeat forever, and I’ve already been stuck on his Always Remix, which I will post below. Get in tune with Wave Racer and his social media outlets below and show some love!
