Deep House | BANKS – Beggin For Thread (Gryffin & Hotel Garuda Remix)
Posted by Middy on October 23, 2014
Gryffin has gotten soundcloud famous very quickly. In the matter of 8 months from his first remix of John Newman “Love Me Again” to this “Begging For Thread” alongside Hotel Garuda that has incredible momentum behind it, things have really taken off for the NYC producer. BANKS has been a popular artist to remix and the combination works perfectly here as the three producers use the vocal, chopping it and manipulating it as well as I have heard in a remix, setting it over deep plucks and distant, reverbed guitars riffs. As per usual with these three, the tune is a free download, so make sure you grab it below.

Progressive House | Lush & Simon Feat. Delaney Jane – In My Hands
Posted by Middy on August 11, 2014
It was only a matter of time before these guys got big. With releases now on Revealed, Protocol, Armada, and now Doorn, the Italian duo continue to show signs of growth and improvement with each passing release. “Hunter” saw them integrate some more percussion based builds, while still returning to their strong suit in melodies. The duo have overcome a change in personnel with Simon being exchanged for another Simon and they have not skipped a beat, giving us the vintage driving melodic sound we know from Lush & Simon here with “In My Hands”.
Trance | Above & Beyond feat. Alex Vargas – Blue Sky Action

The sky is blue and you should too. Ok that made no sense, but it doesn’t matter. Above & Beyond are thankfully much better at just about everything music related than me, including songwriting, and “Blue Sky Action” is their latest tune that is pitch perfect for the summer months. It is the first single from their upcoming album, out early next year so get your mind and bodies ready for that.

“Hold Up” is one of Trey Palms strongest record since his past few releases over 2014 as it showcases his fast double time flow in the first verse before the record is crooned the chorus with a heavy down beat in a matter that highlight’s the rappers deep voice. Trey is on the steady rise for success but until he will be throwing 1’s instead of 100’s to pick up the girls at the club. Check it out and grab the free download below! This is a must listen and a must download!

Silver Medallion is back thanks to the French production duo Tune In Crew who have enlisted his vocals and good ol’ American songwriting to put together this electro-pop record “Racecar Driver” fit for radio! I’ve been a fan of Tune In Crew ever since their Matisyahu “Live Like A Warrior” remix, and it’s exciting to see that they are venturing into releasing original releases fit for radio. It’s only a matter of time until this record gets picked up! This is a must listen and support the artists by purchasing it on iTunes!
Hip-Hop, Rap | PELL – Floating While Dreaming
Posted by admin on May 27, 2014
Perhaps it’s the recycled subject matter, or the false need for a DJ Mustard beat, but it’s clear that many people are dissatisfied with the current state of hip-hop. It takes much more soul (Internet) searching to sift through the piles of gimmicky rappers that cloud our ears every day.
This past week rapper, PELL, did his part in clearing up the cloud. The release of his mixtape Floating While Dreaming proved to be both versatile and enjoyable to listen to. His melodic voice, accompanied by a slew of assonance-laden rhymes allows the tape to flow together with incredible cohesion.
PELL jumps between technical rapping and poppy hooks, and even shows his darker side on songs like, “SC2014”, featuring Boldy James.
When PELL spits: “It’s hard to stay loyal when there’s thousands who adore you.” it is hard not to think that those thousands will very soon be millions.
