YOU ALREADY KNOW WHAT IT IS.
All the music that I listened to throughout the last 12 months enough to make me sick but somehow didn’t. The fields of music brought a bountiful yield in 2013 which allowed listeners like me to tune into more genres and artists than I could ever imagine. In order to cover all my necessary bases, I’ve drafted quite a comprehensive list (or two) missing prety much only anything Jennifer Lawrence related although if all the things she said this year were songs then they would 100% have made it on my list as well.
So, let the countdown, BEGIN!
Trap | Elos – Auto (Djemba Djemba & King Henry Remix)
Posted by Nick on November 2, 2013
For those of you who have been a little out of the loop, half of Penthouse Penthouse got arrested for trying to get his DJ equipment out of a warehouse that was being raided by police. The bad news: his bail is crazy high (around $20,000). The good news, however (if you could call it that), is a lot of artists have been putting out new music in an effort to raise money to help the homie out. So, Penthouse’s label Team Supreme just released a mixtape (which can be found on Bandcamp HERE) with a bunch of donated tracks from tons of talented, supportive artists. Put your part in, and make sure to cop a download of this remix of Elos’ track “Auto” by Djemba Djemba and King Henry. It has a bassline you won’t forget – definitely a Saturday-night-slap. #FREEPENTHOUSE.

Chill, Trap | Slumberjack – Crave The Rain + Remixes
Posted by BP on October 2, 2013
This album is just crazy cool. Slumberjack’s track “Crave the Rain” is smooth and mellow, and each of the remixers on the album takes their own unique spin on it. Although all the remixes are great, I’d have to say my favorites are both King Henry and Chu’s chill trap versions. The Leon Osborn remix takes a close second with a more cheerful, bouncy rendition. The whole album is available for free on Bandcamp.

Electronic, Trap | Drake – The Motion (King Henry Bootleg)
Posted by BP on August 16, 2013
This little tune is so funky and crisp. King Henry’s bootleg of “The Motion” by Drake doesn’t sound much like the original, but is super fun to listen to. It’s relaxing while still being bouncy and light. The track feels like it’s just floating along with the altered vocals from Drake. This is a good one to play at your Friday night parties, and it’s free!
Chill, Trap | King Henry x Santell – Do You Think About Us?
Posted by BP on July 23, 2013
I am so pleased that I found this new King Henry release today! King Henry put his famous trap beats and synths under Santell’s singing and rapping to create a new masterpiece. The vocals flow smoothly with the beats and it brings life to the track. He writes that there will be more from both of them together and I’m excited to hear it! This song is up for free download so show him some love!
Playlists | WARM AIR vol. 1
Posted by mimada on June 21, 2013
When it comes to summertime playlists, it’s a cutthroat battle for the ultimate, all-inclusive and trendiest compilation, so hear me out for a second. Allow me to introduce to you, Warm Air, a three-part series by yours truly that will coincide with the rise and fall of your sweet summer season. I present to you this first installment of my series on the first day of summer, appropriately, in hopes that you might enhance any which way you decide to spend your greatest allowance of sunlight with the shimmering sounds of some of my current favorite artists. This playlist in particular is for the moment you wake up when the possibilities for your day are limitless; the sun is sparkling everywhere from the leaves on the tree to the water in the pool and the hood of your new Bugatti. With a mimosa in one hand and your beach towel in the other, these tracks will inspire and motivate you to carpe the shit out of the diem. But what happens when the sun is hot, the babes are out and you’re ready to play? Stay tuned for volume 2, coming soon to a boombox near you…
Electronic, Trap | King Henry – Dayman (Demo)
Posted by mimada on May 22, 2013
Well, top of the morning to all you champions of the sun out there on this fine Wednesday. My late night prowling led me to discover the sexy sounds of the revered King Henry and I’d be delighted to share my findings with you. This LA-based producer takes on current trends in music and turns them completely inside out in this awesome, enriching and totally satisfying manner. It’s a little trillwave mixed with trap and bouncin’ beats, one song he even identifies as “comic trap.” It’s the kind of stuff you can put on at parties to intrigue//impress all your friends, or just chill out and listen to in the comfort of your own bed. It’s versatile, it’s groovy, and it’s rad. I pulled a couple songs that might lure you in, Dayman in particular being my favorite. If you think it’s good, just wait till the final drop at the end of the song and then you’ll realize this King Henry isn’t jousting — er, joking around.
Check out King Henry on Soundcloud and social media for more, and you can download his first album at a name-your-price cost from Bandcamp.
