Electronic | Hermitude – Ukiyo
Posted by mimada on April 17, 2014
The legendary Australian electronic-meets-hip-hop duo Hermitude dropped this brand new track titled “Ukiyo” yesterday in anticipation of their upcoming next album release. It’s honestly just a really nice, different, refreshing sort of sound, the kind that you want to hear all day long because it keeps your blood pumping and your spirits high. I’m getting excited just thinking about an entire album featuring this sort of style. While you might recognize these guys from that infamous Flume remix, which I have to admit is in fact one of my favorite tracks of all time, do take the time to check these guys out as artists, it’ll be worth your time.

It’s not everyday artists and producers give out their EP for free, but The Bolivian Machine Affair trio aka TBMA did just that with their latest single “Obsessed” featuring Lynn Gvnn with remixes by Our Time, and Voltra X Leefo, and the whole project is quality! With strong vocals, and a synth heavy production, this is the kind of music that I’m a sucker for, and I wouldn’t be surprised if some ya’ll get obsessed with this one, all pun intended! This is a must listen and a must download!

House | A’s Essential Weekend Tunes
Posted by BIGLIFE on February 7, 2014
It’s the weekend. You know what time it is. It’s time to spend entirely too much at the bar. It’s time to go home with that girl you met on Tinder that you’ll be ashamed of the next day. It’s time to hate yourself on Sunday after you look at your bank statement. We know the feeling, that’s why we’re here to enable that kind of behavior. We asked preeminent long-retired blog king “A” to gift us with a weekend playlist. Man, did he come through just in time for you to lose your dignity. His weekend selections are nothing short of fire flames. Bring your sunscreen, they’ll melt your face right off. It’s gold Jerry, gold!

Listen, I’m no Family Guy groupie, nor have I ever heard of this dude Mikey Bolts until my buddy introduced him to me over the weekend, but he has some serious talent. If you breathe Oxygen, you should be able to recognize at least two of these voices. Do I think it’s kind of strange how his facial expressions look eerily like the cartoons themselves? Yes, without a doubt. Do I wish I could pull off those impersonations? Yes, without a doubt. Any way you cut it, this Bolts kid has skills. Check out his YouTube channel for more Family Guy covers.
Chill, Hip-Hop | BONES – Calcium (prod. by Kid HNRK)
Posted by BP on January 2, 2014
Wow, this track really surprised me (in a good way). “Calcium” is one track off of Bones’s mixtape called “Deadboy”. This track is produced by Kid HNRK, and that’s how I came to find it, since I’m not usually one to be sifting through rap mixtapes. The beat on this song is amazing. It’s chill and eerie, and sounds great with Bones. It gives me sort of a Clams Casino kind of vibe. Grab his mixtape for more cool tracks.

Progressive House | Magnus & Timon – Kepler, Onyx, Kick Out The Epic MotherF**Ker Remix
Posted by Mel on December 25, 2013
Two of the many people giving away tracks for Christmas is the French duo Magnus & Timon. Up until a couple of months ago, they had not released a track all year but since then they have now released six. I am a huge fan of these guys so this gives me great pleasure. The kind of pleasure only two French men can give to another man. Two originals and one remix is what they have given away and all of them are good, but the two originals are great. “Kepler”, the melodic one, and “Onyx”, the more hard hitting one are both lacking in vocals but they don’t need them, they are both outstanding songs on their own. Their Dada Life remix is good as well but the other two clearly stand above it.

Hip-Hop, Playlists | Jeff’s 15 Best Hip-Hop Tracks of 2013
Posted by jeffwbaird on December 23, 2013
With the mainstream sound shifting further towards hip-hop (or is it the other way around?) the way it has in 2013, it’s become quite a good climate for rappers. While this year has had its share of successes and rises to fame (see Chance The Rapper, Logic), though, it’s certainly had its share of disappointments. Read on to see my selections as the year’s best work in hip-hop.
