Interviews | [Exclusive] The Rise Of Collin McLoughlin
Posted by BIGLIFE on March 18, 2014
We remember when we first received an e-mail from Collin McLoughlin. It was 2010, and he contacted us with a single submission. We were instantly impressed. In fact, we can still remember where we were when we heard his voice. We knew then that Collin McLoughlin was destined for greatness. While the Collin’s road to success has taken him to places like NBC’s “The Voice”, he’s on a new mission. Since July of 2013, Collin has been releasing a slew of impressive remixes and originals that have gained support from just about everyone in the blogosphere. Collin’s profile is quickly rising, so we decided to check in with him to talk about how a Youtube cover singer from New York became one of the most talked about names in the melodic bass world.
1. Forgive me for asking, but how did a guy that was knocked out in the second round of NBC’s “The Voice” become a successful melodic dubstep producer and DJ, essentially out of nowhere?
It took an incredible amount of dedication and hard work. I’ve learned everything I know about production from various online tutorials, Youtube, and trial and error. I also have had some good friends like Carlos Cid who have given me tremendous advice. That said, the majority of my DJ and production knowledge has come from an insane amount of hard hours spent teaching myself.

Chill, Trap | Saint Pepsi – Unhappy
Posted by VMan on October 6, 2013
Long Island, NY producer Saint Pepsi released “Unhappy” a few days back “just to see what happens”, and it’s an absolute beauty. He calls this Soul/Emo/Trap music, and it definitely has all 3 genres incorporated. I’ve been vibing out to it all morning, and contrary to its title, the guitar’ll have you feeling at peace, and you might catch yourself doing a little shoulder bounce to the drums, they knock. Stream this record, and get that free download, this is a wonderful piece of work!
