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.

Exclusive, Mix | Fresh New Tracks Exclusive Mix: Gutter Brothers @ Blasted
Posted by Nick on October 8, 2013
Breakout artist Gutter Brothers were kind enough to let us in on their exclusive live mix from Dim Mak Studios during their set at Blasted. For those of you who haven’t heard of them, the LA-based duo has been banging out top-of-the-line bass music since October of last year, gaining support from big-name artists like Borgore, ETC!ETC!, Kennedy Jones, and more. Despite being on the scene for such a short period of time, these boys have already thrown down releases on Ultra, High Intensity, Clubtapes, and other labels, even going on to win Insomniac’s Discovery Project, becoming a featured artist at Beyond Wonderland. Expect big things from these guys in the future, check out their new EP “Dat Ass” (which was #3 on the Beatport Hip-Hop chart), grab a free download of this mix, and then bump it aloud as you can; it absolutely hits (including the unreleased “Steve Twerkle”).
Trap | Play-N-Skillz – MCHG (Remixes)
Posted by BIGLIFE on October 2, 2013
Play-N-Skillz have been quiet as of late, but that doesn’t mean they haven’t been working hard. Coming off the success of their “Tom Ford” remix that saw spins on national radio, they release their anticipated “Magna Carta Holy Grail” remixes to the blogosphere. Look for a big single featuring Red Foo, Krazie Bone, and Lil Jon in the near future from the Grammy boys. Keep an eye out, they’re on the rise.
Electro-House | TheFatRat – Dancing Naked
Posted by Middy on September 20, 2013
TheFatRat returns with a wild new single that blends funky disco and gritty electro into one seamless track. The video adds a very interesting element to the whole track, taking TheFatRat into various elements of pop culture from the “Levels” video, to “Thriller”, to Lion King, to Minecraft, Super Mario and many more. The video shows the talents of the German producer in not only music, but also in video production and editing. He has always been known for being original, and both the production and video reinforce that trend. We look forward to more TheFatRat produced videos in the future.
House | AlunaGeorge – You Know You Like It (Tchami Remix)
Posted by VMan on September 20, 2013
French producer from Paris, Tchami remixes AlunaGeorge’s “You Know You Like It” and does the track immense justice. Tchami calls his genre future house, and incorporates a lot of elements from Hip-Hop, Trap, and that UK Garage Sound. Not going to lie I’ve had AlunaGeorge’s album in the CD player ever since I saw them live at the Bowery in NYC, and I’m glad talented producers are giving them the proper treatment! This is a must listen and a must download!

House, Techno | BLAZ – Idiot // A-Spec
Posted by Spice on September 12, 2013
Some techy madness for those of you like to go van deeper. Blaz is a producer out of Austin (#ATX baby) who likes to keep it dark, minimal, and borderline analog. “Idiot” is robotic future music of the highest order and “A-Spec” is the kind of track that, if played loudly and on repeat in the dark, will quickly cause you to lose much of your ability to keep track of time. Check them out below — free DLs; get weird on this rainy Thursday.
