Alternative, Ambient, Chill | Prelow – Simple Song
Posted by admin on March 15, 2014
A month or so ago, we premiered to you a soft-spoken indie group by the name of Prelow. The NYC-bred duo is back with their newest release entitled, “Simple Song”. Staying true to its name, “Simple Song” doesn’t employ dozens of layers of instruments or vocals, but rather strips it down the excess and provides a song beautiful for everything that it’s not.
Prelow is a promising new name in indie music not only for their vocal prowess, but the self-production that has captivated over 15,000 listeners over the past five days. Enjoy a free download and stream below.
Trap | JayCeeOh & Terror Dactel – Hear You Calling
Posted by Middy on February 26, 2014
NYC trap producer / DJ JayCeeOh has teamed up with fellow NYC producer Terror Dactel for the second time in almost as many weeks for another big free download. They sample Aurora’s 2000 single “Here You Calling“, something quite commonly done in trap, and use the vocal to interject a little bit of vocal bliss over a breakneck speed instrumental. It’s trancey, which as a lover of trance, I can certainly get behind, giving the tune an added dimension beyond just fearsome 808s and relentless high-hats. Best of all, the track is free, so get it now.

Abstract Hip-Hop | Vulkan The Krusader – Echo Chamber (Prod. by Yakamoto Kotzuga)

NYC via FLA emcee Vulkan The Krusader has been locked away in his studio hard at work for the past year. The spoils are set to drop on Feb 14th, Valentines day in the form of VX13, featuring a 13 original joints that range from future boom bap to dream-wave chill, with collabs from Sean Price, Kyle Rapps and Spaceman and more.
Vulkan tells me that “Echo Chamber” was written from the perspective of a love struck homicidal maniac whom he read about in a newspaper article. Ranging from purposefully slightly off key vocals to his on-point, punchy delivery, this track serves as nice cross-section of his talents, but there is so much more, stay tuned.
Chill, Indie | Prelow – For The Team
Posted by admin on January 22, 2014
After a semi-intelligent child turned me on to their music a few weeks back, I have been absolutely hooked on Prelow. The mysterious band has only one public track on their SoundCloud, but the heavily-produced indie tune “For The Team” has me begging to hear more.
Lead vocalist, Jesse Aicher, whispers sweet nothings in to your ear as the song progresses. His soft, melodic voice complementing the hazy electronic instrumental to make a sound unlike much of what I have heard coming out of the indie genre.
The duo, although seemingly new to the scene, clearly has a natural cohesion, and a knack for making intriguing music. I encourage you all to check out Prelow’s “For The Team” and stay tuned for more from the NYC-based group.

Folks, forget anything you were listening to these past days, Duke Dumont’s latest single featuring Jax Jones “I Got You” premiered on Annie Mac’s BBC radio show, will make you forget all of that. This is the track of 2013, and 2014 in my opinion. You might know the Grammy nominated Duke Dumont through his hit record “Need You (100%) ” that made its way around the dance world, and notably by the remix produced by NYC based producer Dave Edwards which made it to #1 on the Hypem chart, and this follow up single let’s us know that Mr. Dumont is here to stay, so get familiar! I shit you not, I’ve had this record on repeat ever since I’ve heard it, but hey it’s my birthday today, so I do what I wanna! This is a must listen!
