Albums, Bass, Electronic | Run DMT – Starlight Ft. Betty Black : The Remixes
Posted by J-Tiffy on October 17, 2013
This remix EP showcases four dimensions of an extremely powerful song. The original by RUN DMT is deep and heavy, beautifully coordinating Betty Black’s spectral vocals with big driving bass, distant guitar chords and awesome synth plucks. The Kodak To Graph remix is a chilled out and trapped up version that adds sounds reminiscent of Phonat’s style – very cool. Now to the hard hitters. The Dirt Monkey remix is loud and angry. It adds huge, harsh sounds that create an edgy, rough feel while still maintaining some of that juicy emotion from the original. Now, for the remix that, for the time being, comes out ahead as my favourite on the EP. The SPL version starts out with an ambient intro, introducing wicked saxophone sounds. The vocals are whispered into focus and the energy is built up to the mad drum and bass segment that is bursting with energy. The vocal verse is introduced at the perfect moment in this segment, and is used to carry you through to the next drop which takes on another beat entirely. The remix is epic, really a blast to listen to, and the whole EP is a treat. Literally a treat, as in all of the four massive songs are free to download.

Hip-Hop | G-Eazy – Gotta Go (feat. BEND / Daniel Johnston)
Posted by yabishcic on October 15, 2013
G-Eazy’s been on the fast track ever since he started his music career. His music has stayed relatively to his style as his path down the winding road is slowly building, but this single of all single’s has got to be my favorite. It’s the perfect blend of alternative and hip-hop that makes it an enjoyable listen while still allowing your ears to really listen to what he has to say. Definitely take a peak at this since it didn’t make that track list on his upcoming album!

Chill, Trap | Gorilla Beats – Trap Hippy
Posted by yabishcic on October 12, 2013
Over the months that I’ve been in San Francisco I had the pleasure of watching as the EP ‘Trap Hippy‘ developed via San Francisco based producer Gorilla Beats. Taking weeks of maticulously working away in the studio / behind a board, brainstorming music concepts, perfecting a mix but still finding time to kick back and enjoy it all in the process, Gorilla beats has the perfect release of 5 smooth instrumentals taking on a new kind of sound – trap hippy. With the distinct undertones of Drum & Bass trap mixed with the ambient electro sounds that have been on the rise in underground music, the final bounce is somewhere between trap and relaxed (trap hippy). I got my in on a little of the fun collabing with Gorilla Beats on one of his songs ‘Wrap’, featured on the EP . During the sesh, I felt where the music was coming from; the whole time we were just chilling and talking music, enjoying company and getting our night started with some drinks to go around – everyone had good vibes, which is what the ep ‘Trap Hippy’ should bring to you. Two of his songs are featured through his SoundCloud, but if you want the full look, check it out HERE (via BandCamp).
House, Indie | Gentlemen Hall – Sail Into The Sun (Lenno Remix)
Posted by Middy on October 9, 2013
Sleek, summer and soothing. These three words can sum up the indie-dance remix that Lenno just put on Gentleman Hall’s single “Sail Into The Sun. It has all of Lenno’s funky, disco stylistic abilities, with the indie sound of the original, that makes not only this a great remix, but the pairing of Lenno’s sound with indie rock perfect. This is a no-strings attached download, so you have no excuse not to get it.
