Your favorite alternative/hip hop/reggae duo ACADEMY is back again, this time with a super fresh cover from the depths of the vault. This little ditty is a spin on the Temptations timeless song ‘My Girl‘ and is equally as addicting as their previous reggae cover of Biggie’s Juicy. My Girl, which was concocted by John That features good friend of ACADEMY and unknown to most, emcee Terrye who laid down some well written bars that fit the vibe of this song perfectly.

I would have posted this on Sunday when it was released but I was too busy playing this on repeat over and over again. While Jeremy Zucker is new to FNT Quinn XCII is no stranger. Quinn’s EP Change of Scenery has been a personal favorite and the way in which he blended pop, tropical house and hip hop together was absolutely perfect. In the latest offering from Zucker, he self produces and pens an extremely catchy tune that you’ll have on repeat for days to come.
Albums, Electronic, Future Trap, Hip-Hop, RnB | HiFadility Releases Full ‘The Queens’ EP
Posted by BIGLIFE on September 18, 2015
After giving us a couple of tracks over the summer, HiFadility continues to inspire with the release of “The Queens” EP in full. As usual, HiFadility absolutely crushes it with his unique sound, and this project is definitely worth the listen. HiFadility takes 10 tracks, and 1 bonus track “Love to The World”, to show us that we can connect to one another across generations, time, and experience. His dedication to the themes of universal love, peace, and prosperity are constantly present in his music and this awareness is a refreshing alternative while creating an authentic movement. Be sure to check him out on twitter, facebook, tumblr or instagram via @iamHiFadility.
“The 90’s, a time of racial conflict, economic turmoil, war, quite similar to what the Globe is experiencing today. Still some were able to express their voice no matter the circumstance, many times risking their own lives, doing all they could to express their belief that the world could be a beautiful existence for all. The voices of generations singing together, a song of freedom and liberty that is true and accessible to all.
So many examples, testimonies of those that transcended the obstacles laid before them and placed bridges there that others may also find their way. Many thanks to those who paved the way that others may walk it.
Peace.Love.Prosperity”

Bass, Chill, Dubstep | Big_Once Brings The Bass With “Buck Shots”

Tuesday is always a great day for new music and today is no exception. Big_Once who is slated to play this year’s Lollapalooza dropped a fire original in the middle of the night he calls “Buck Shots”. The track has a sound that’s hard to pigeon-hole into just one genre. 90’s hip hop lyrics and a groove that sounds like it would be at home at an old Pretty Lights show make this bass track something special. This guy is also a technical badass behind the decks. He judges many Red Bull Thre3style competitions and took home the U.S. Championship title for himself in 2011.

HiFadility dropped another exciting edit, an isolation of Lauryn Hill’s vocals from The Fugee’s “Ready or Not” track with a very luxurious hip-hop/world instrument electronic sound. What really makes this track worth supporting is the thoughtfulness involved in the arrangement of quality sounds, and the attention used in choosing the vocal arrangement. HiFadility is part of a movement that is bringing consciousness back into popular culture.
HiFadility, whose tagline is “peace, love and prosperity”, seems to ask for intention and awareness out of life that he also likes to deliver within his music, allowing him to create really intricate and interesting pieces. Before releasing this track, he asked himself the question of why he decides to make, release and engage in the music industry. He replied with the idea of: “What does make creating music worth the while is the mystery.” Later that night, at the release of the Lauryn Hill track, he simply posted an infinity sign, “?”, indicating the infinite nature of our being and sound, the thrilling mystery of music, and how it magically touches our soul.
The ability to make chill bangers, songs that are laid back but still get you pumped up, is pretty unique, so make sure to check out this track, it’s just in time for the summer feels. HiFadility will be releasing more videos and tracks in relation to this concept project, The Queens EP, over the duration of the summer, so be sure to follow HiFadility on his social media, soundcloud, tumblr, twitter, for more gems.

Posted by Juicebox on January 8, 2015
Not really sure what genre this one is. It seems like everyone these days just throws the word “future” in front of a genre if it has a bit of a new sound to it, so we’ll call this future hip hop / trap? You don’t come across that many talented electronic producers remixing hip hop tracks like this one, so make sure you take a minute to appreciate this one. Check out on Facebook for more free music.
Progressive House | Hardwell & W&W – The Dance Floor Is Yours
Posted by BIGLIFE on September 5, 2014
A few months ago, during an interview at A State of Trance 650 in Utrecht, Hardwell offered the following response to Armin Van Buuren in regards to what his album might sound like:
“I’m experimenting with a lot of new, different sounds. I’m a bit sick of the same formula that’s going on in EDM right now so I’m just trying to change boundaries and look at what’s going on in the rest of the world. Even in the hip hop scene and the trance scene and try to combine as much as possible.” [VIDEO]
I’m going to let that marinate as you listen to this new offering from Hardwell. Ha!
