Reggae, Trap | Lorde – Royals (Reef’d Remix)
Posted by Mach on October 25, 2013
The Reggae/Rock group, Reef’d, have put themselves in a new light with this beautiful cover of Lorde’s “Royals”. Blending in a little bit of Trap and Soul to the mix, the group showed myself at least that they are prepared for a whole new level Reggae that anyone can soak their ears into. This cover can bring a smile to your face even on the worst of days, I would know, it’s helped me feel good as well. Keep an eye out for great tracks from Reef’d in the future, seems everyone is working on good new beginnings.
Progressive House | EDX – Hyped
Posted by Middy on October 24, 2013
EDX is known for his silky smooth progressive tracks. With “Hyped” he continues that trend of lush pads and evocative plucks, but adds a subtle break of a deep low end, to contrast the synth work throughout. Grab the latest from Swiss machine EDX and be ready be ready for more from him in the near future.

Electronic | Oliver – Mechanical Remixes
Posted by mimada on October 24, 2013
Okay so I’ve been a bit all over the place the past week so this post may be a tad over due but bear with me – it’s incredibly vital to your well being and the entirety of your weekend. The charismatic DJ duo Oliver released their Mechanical EP through Fool’s Gold earlier this year and were showered in success. Like, if you didn’t hear “MYB” at a music festival at least 5 times this summer then you son were at all the wrong music festivals. Anyways, last week they debuted their Mechanical remixes and literally each track is a hands-down 10. The first remix is brought to us by the one and only Dillon Francis who shot “Night Is On My Mind” with a full injection of bonafied Dillon, with that one and only moombatastic, speaker-shattering sound you can trust. The second remix from Nom De Strip was an unexpected favorite, a big room rework of “Control” that is undoubtedly, well, out of control. Next up, a freaky deep remix of “MYB” from FNT favorite Tchami, which adds a nice new perspective to the original. The EP finishes off strong courtesy of upcoming producer Values, who takes us on a heavenly, melodic journey throughout the remix of title-track “Mechanical.” If Values wasn’t on your radar before, I think this track will guarantee he ends up dead center in the near future. And you know, I want to say the last one will end being the one you play on repeat, but the truth is the whole compilation works so well together you probably won’t be able to settle on just one track. Unfortunately it’s not available for free download but grow a pair a drop the few bucks necessary so these DJs can bring home the bacon at the end of the day. Plus then you can have these remixes readily available because you never know when you might need them this weekend… OoOoOoOoOh!
Hip-Hop | Lucki Eck$ – Want More (Prod. Plu2o Nash)
Posted by dshaq on October 23, 2013
It’s been a little bit since we’ve heard from Chicago up and comer Lucki Eck$. His newest offering brings back the sound we heard him craft so well on his Alternative Trap mixtape. The laid back beat with the distortions really sets the mood and his verses have an eerie sound to them that I love. Very interested to see what’s in store for Lucki in the near future.
Hip-Hop, Mixtapes, Rap | Young California: League of Starz – Function Music (LOS.FM)
Posted by yabishcic on October 16, 2013
I wasn’t born into the Bay Life, nor did I even know about it until living in San Francisco for some time. But being a music fanatic has really turned me onto the hyphy music that the Bay Area has to offer. Most people are completely oblivious to the deep-based, heavy hi-hatted beats that most rappers in California love on the low. If you’re a fan of Bay music, well then here’s a mixtape to function to. Including a mix of BIG headliners, League of Starz comes with nothing but bangers with all your favorite artists from Young California. If you are not familiar yet the League, it’s a family of Southern California producers responsible for a lot of your favorite party hits in the last couple of years. The project features 2 Chainz, Tyga, IAMSU, Problem, Clyde Carson, and has co-signs from Snoop Dogg, E-40, and a DJ Amen. Californian’s will know exactly what I’m talking about – for everyone else, take notes. This is the future of party music.
Luckily, this project is FREE FREE FREE. Go to the download here.
