FREE DOWNLOAD: Mosch – Coelho (Simp Remix)
Above is a cool visual that is mixed well into the remix by Simp. Watching it makes me wonder… if we lived in a dimension where time was set to 18,000fps, would we even know the difference? haha, trippy. Anyways, ’til this day I’m still constantly jaded by having a musical taste that revolves solely around simplified beats that are no greater than hip-hop instrumentals. Twisted vocal samples, mingled with subtle sonic arrangements that aren’t so repetitive is all I need. That said, let’s hear some.
A superb new track from Affelaye, previously known as Joe Martin. All I know is that his productions are by far some of the cleanest, well put together beats I’ve heard. Listen below.

Hip-Hop, Videos | Accent — Everybody’s Crazy (feat. Kinetics) [Music Video Premiere]
Posted by jeffwbaird on February 28, 2013
It shouldn’t come as a surprise to you that I love introspective hip-hop—and man does this new Accent track take the cake. Amidst a genre primarily concerned with braggadocio and glorified false personas, Accent utilizes his singing skills to evoke this powerful jam about “accepting the imperfections that define us, and being proud of them.” The Kid Vision-produced single from his Sight & Sound EP features a verse from frequent collaborator Kinetics—whose internal rhyme-schemes become more impressive by the song—and impressive visuals courtesy of Hickory that highlight the song’s meaning and personal nature, which Accent eloquently described for us:
“The song recognizes that every human has their own unique qualities, yet it acknowledges that those differences between us are what make all of us the same; everyone struggles with their own experiences and identities. The sources of my own pain are very literally expressed here and every word is carefully recited making for a clear projection of the message. I reference my own issues regarding bi-raciality, growing up without a father and being almost obsessed with what I loved about my childhood but I also touch on my capacity for love and the purpose I have for existing. While “Everybody’s Crazy” comes from a sad place in my heart it encourages people to transform the negativity in their histories into a beautiful representation of the strength they have developed from it.”
House, Indie | WEKEED – Essential
Posted by W8 on February 28, 2013
Wekeed is as they say, a wild union of a girl and a boy brought together by life in Paris, France. Subsiding the snow with feelings of summer, ”Essential” has a nice mixture of indie, sprinkled with a touch of house.

House | Parker Ighile – So Beautiful (Pleather Remix)
Posted by Mach on February 21, 2013
This remix makes me feel like I am partying in the Caribbean on spring break in the 80s. The synth progression is incredible, I really love the work Pleather did with this remix. The vocals are edited nicely, giving them that soothing House feel. Kick back and enjoy.
Dubstep | R Rated #64
Posted by Mach on February 13, 2013
I had not heard anything about this remix until it released 2 days ago. It’s a slow but filthy remix, still maintaining the epic vibes from Culprate. A must buy for anyone in love with nasty Dubstep/Breakbeat.
This next track from Archie Cane, Sev & I have been obsessed with for days. It has deep carnival bass but in way we haven’t heard before. In other words, this track is dope.
Virtual seemed to have fallen off for a minute until his most recent releases. I was really feeling the griminess that carried with the vocals and the bass on this track. The drop comes at the most opportune moment and wreaks your ears.
Zanetic brought in an interesting underlaying theme to this track, it is almost middle-eastern. Either way, this track breaks into an insane drop, jam packed with different synths and bass.
Ah, I am so happy I saved this for R Rated. Not many know about Jomekka, but they should. He is one the first people I follow on Soundcloud, which says a lot considering I follow about 2000 artists now. Piercing lasers and crunchy bass, this track does not disappoint.
