Dubstep, Preview, RnB, Trap | Erik Hassle – Talk About It (ASTR Remix)
Posted by Mach on November 15, 2013
Since ASTR floated into my radar with their incredible original “Operate”, I couldn’t help but have high expectations for this remix. I can honestly say I was not disappointed, in fact this remix sweats nothing but excellence onto undressing bodies in the heat of the night. Erik Hassle’s single is out now on iTunes, no word yet on the release of this remix thought.
Trap | HEDEGAARD – Still Animals (Mashup/Remix)
Posted by mimada on November 13, 2013
She’s baaaaaack…. another guest post from our Scandinavian sweetheart, Rebecca.
Just as we all started to feel that ”Animals” should be deleted (or at least reduced to one play per night) from the playlists in mainstream night clubs, Martin Garrix dropped his latest track, ”Wizard”. Yes, we all loved ”Animals;” I personally discovered it with great ecstacy, but creating a drop that sounds like the ”Animals” drop played backwards and adding a slightly different melody to it, doesn’t make a new world hit.
Sticking to a personal sound is a good thing, don’t get me wrong. Garrix did more than well with the ”Project T” remix. He sealed it with the big G without spelling out the whole name. But Wizard just feels like the easiest way out, using already proven tricks. If it wasn’t for him to be such a damn cute Dutch prodigy (Is it possible for a 20 year old to adopt a 17 year old? Anyone?) I would be much more disappointed. He has already shown that he has what it takes, so I’ll just look past this little ”Wizard” mishap.
If you for some reason still can’t get enough of ”Animals”, but feel like you need to move on (I mean it’s been 4 months since the official release. It’s been ”Animals” everyday. Everywhere. For 4 months), I suggest the Rasmus Hedegaard remix/mashup ”Still Animals”. This trap producing Dane knows his mixes (Had to make a little room for my Scandinavian neighbors in my post, it’s just a tiny bridge between my home town and Denmark – fun facts). Daring enough to take on the world’s most loved tracks, he played matchmaker between Garrix and Dr. Dre, and I believe they make a beautiful couple. Listen below and see what I mean.

First off, congrats to one of the best labels at remaining true to a vision that does not follow the beaten path, regardless of what the current trend might be. It has most notably been known for the releases of French super-duo Justice, but has also been home to the releases of Breakbot, DJ Mehdi, its owner Busy P and others. The label has always brought something different to the table and this show exemplified that.

Events | Event Review: UZ, K Theory, & Vital Riots, 09/NOV/2013
Posted by Nick on November 10, 2013
People have always told me about how mysterious UZ is; how enigmatic the act is that he puts on – and after his performance last night in San Luis Obispo, I’m here to tell you how cool it actually is.
Following two killer sets from Vital Riots and K Theory, the mystery man put on an insane, trap-filled set that lit up the entire venue, keeping the crowd moving track, after track, after track. Throwing down pieces from his “Trap Sh*t” series, all the way to DJ Snake’s “Bird Machine,” UZ had it going on from start to finish. Even with this girl trying (way too hard) to dance in front of him during his set, the new age trap star remained unfazed.
Speaking of “that girl” (who ended up getting kicked off stage about three times), she even tried to grind on/make out with Malcolm of K Theory during their set. Thankfully, he had the sense to say no, and continue with one of the most versatile EDM acts I’ve seen a while (which is especially impressive considering they were missing their third member, Dylan, who fell seriously ill shortly before the show). Regardless of any strange women trying to take the stage that night, the Black & Gold Party at The Graduate was definitely a great experience, and a show you should feel sad about missing if you weren’t there – sucks to suck. S/O to Collective Effort Events for putting together a great lineup.
Bass, Chill, Trap | Boeboe – Buy Sell Bye Cell EP
Posted by Mach on November 1, 2013
W8 showed me this incredible EP last night. In fact, I lost a game of chess to him to write this, haha. The opening track, “Negative Roi”, is the absolute winner for W8 and myself. The Bun B sampling is a nice touch to the bouncy bass that pounds in on your ears. “Denim” has a sexy kick, Boeboe packed it in nice and tight with all the different bass sounds used. In a way it gives off a bit of a spooky vibe, finishing off a little more abstractly but in a tasteful fashion. The third track, “Yeah Right” seems to be the clear top track on this EP with most fans. It starts out in a typical festival Trap style, which isn’t really what I’ve been into trap wise, but I cannot deny that this tune makes me bump hard. For me “Silly Boy” is the weakest link on this EP, just sounds like your typical festival Trap track. A little boring if you ask me. “Cabbage Patch” came as a big surprise, I wasn’t expecting it to go as hard as it does. I absolutely love the rolling chords in the bridge leading to the the second drop. Fantastic. Despite “Silly Boy” I really enjoy listening to the diversity Boeboe has on this EP.
