Albums, Hip-Hop | Connor Evans – The Road To Coachella [Free Album]
Posted by Grubeats on July 25, 2013
If you haven’t realized, it’s 2013 and white rappers are in. Connor Evans has that hybrid rapper/singer west coast sound. Rooted in Redlands, Cali, he can’t help but have some of that ganja influence in his rhymes, but don’t mistake him for a “weed” rapper. He raps with intellect, clarity, & confidence. “The Road to Coachella” is, well, Connor’s first steps on his journey to the big stage; The Road to Coachella. Not masked by any major features, this album is that sound hip-hop fans are fixed on. 15 tracks in, I can confidently say this young G may be seeing himself on the Coachella lineup sooner than he thinks. Listen through, but if you have the patience of a pigeon, start off with “Hipsters & Primadonnas” and “Ridin’ on a Storm”.

Hip-Hop | HAHA-YO – Dancing Like An Idiot [Video]
Posted by admin on July 19, 2013
HAHA-YO has returned funkier than ever and on a mission to protect the secret sauce.
Whatever the secret sauce may be, HAHA-YO most definitely put plenty of it on this last song and video. In an industry filled with monotonous, unoriginal artists I can say without hesitation that there is no one quite like HAHA-YO. The duo can make the most introverted, shy listener get up on his or her feet and dance with the play of a song.
“Dancing Like an Idiot” is without a doubt on the lighter side of hip-hop and has a sound sure to attract many kitchen-dancers, shower-singers, and motor vehicle-rockstars alike.
Directed by Mikey Van Beuren, the video is unlike anything you’ve ever seen. A mini-movie to go along with the soundtrack, the visual follows Boyder and Lukey the Bird on their journey to save their pizza dynasty and each other. There are -thankfully- no shots rapping in to a camera from a rooftop or in a studio, instead the team has given you something to sit down, enjoy and actually get intrigued by.
HAHA-YO has recently released their EP, HEY., and if you missed it, it can be downloaded here for free!
Hip-Hop, Rap | ProbCause (ft. Chance the Rapper) – LSD [Video]
Posted by admin on July 18, 2013
One word: trippy. If you are familiar with ProbCause and/or Chance the Rapper, you’re likely to know that they dabble in the psychedelic drugs. Their newest musical offering is quite appropriately titled “LSD” and the recently released video will have you tripping nearly as much as the drug itself.
The two Chicago emcees take you through their trip, on a journey that is perhaps almost as unimaginable as their rise to stardom. Both rappers have made outstanding progress in their careers -ProbCause having dropped his mixtape and Chance getting the nod of approval from Ed Sheeran– just to name a few.
Sit back and let the music and visual take you away.

I’ve finally washed ashore from the sensational tidal wave that was Kaskade’s It’s You, It’s Me Redux Tour. Everything you heard about drowning in sweat, auditory immersion and house deeper than the Mariana Trench was no exaggeration in reference to what I experienced that Tuesday night at his kick off show in Dallas. I’ll do my best to recreate the atmosphere (hehe) from that show but when it comes down to it, you just have to close your eyes in dive into the music yourself. Conveniently, I’ve provided the San Diego set in it’s entirety for your listening pleasure so all you need to do is press play and come with me on my journey to the most intimate underground electronic show you’ve only seen in your wildest dreams.

Posted by Mach on May 13, 2013
I have been waiting some time for this remix, since the first time I heard it I wanted it so badly. Now it’s here and I am having trouble finding the words to describe how great this remix truly is. The progression is amazing, taking you through so many different levels of House. The ending is a House lovers dream, it takes you on a beautiful journey.

Albums, Electro | Andrew Bayer – If It Were You, We’d Never Leave (Album Review)
Posted by Middy on April 24, 2013
The world needs this album right now. Sometimes in this fast paced mile-a-minute world you just need to sit back, close your eyes and relax, and this is the album for that. The 25 year old American producer has developed a reputation for composing genre defying music that spans many styles and sounds. His 2011 album, “It’s Artificial” propelled his solo career forward with its wide variety of styles, from glitch-hop to silky smooth techno to eclectic electronica and progressive, creating a very cerebral experience.
Fast forward to 2013, Andrew Bayer has become a well established member of the Anjunabeats, producing with Above & Beyond on their album “Group Therapy”, being a part of Group Therapy stages everywhere from Tomorrowland to EDC Las Vegas and Electric Zoo, and joining Above & Beyond on tour all over the world. He has established himself with a growing single discography that includes the recently released “England” on Anjunabeats. “If It Were You, We’d Never Leave” is the progression of Andrew Bayer as an artist from his more days with the Signalrunners, making traditional trance music, to a now more ambient, orchestral, album oriented sound that has a timeless quality seen in very few full length electronic pieces today.
