Electro | AObeats & Manilla Killa – Aurorealis (EP)
Posted by admin on August 28, 2013
I was previously unfamiliar with AObeats and Manilla Killa, two electro artists with a very distinct sound to their music. The producers teamed up to create a mini-EP, consisting of two hard hitting tracks to remember. Now, some might criticize the length of this project, however, I’m glad they kept it short. It allows me to dive in more deeply to each song, along with the fact that I’m sure I’ll be racking up the play count.
The first track “Perfect Strangers” is straight out of an 80’s dance club with an infectious synth and drums that are made for grooving. “Limbo” on the other-hand was the polar opposite of what I expected. A deep-rooted and somber styling, “Limbo” features the vocals of jdv plus and has a drum line reminiscent to that of a trap production. These two songs come together for a full seven minutes of glory, surely worth the listen.
All in all this EP is one I recommend taking a chance on, and I can only hope to see more from this duo in the future!
Dubstep, Electro, Trance | Seven Lions with Myon & Shane 54 Ft. Tove Lo – Strangers
Posted by J-Tiffy on August 25, 2013
Seven Lions fans, rejoice! My eyes light up whenever I see Seven Lions’ name, and if you’re like me, you’ll be itching to dig into this tune if you haven’t already. He tackles this project with vocalist Tove Lo and house/trance production duo Myon and Shane 54. The song is part of the original motion picture soundtrack for Mortal Instruments: City of Bones. It is an immensely ambitious track, even for a revolutionary artist like Seven Lions. Not only does it combine his signature cocktail of trance and dubstep, but we can hear a lot of house elements in the mix and, more interestingly, a heavy reliance on a gnarly minimal electro drop.
Ambient, Electro | Fffrrannno – Noah
Posted by VMan on August 25, 2013
Damnnnnn, just did my morning scouting for new music, and discovered this out of this world production “Noah” by New Zealand producer Fffrrannno. Epic is the perfect word to describe this track. Fffrrannno doesn’t overdo it either with a big production, but rather keeps it all organic, and minimalist, making this track even more enjoyable to listen to. Not sure what you want to call this, but this might be the perfect track to end the Summer with. Not sure what else to say here either, other then you’re wasting your time reading this post right now, and you should be listening to “Noah!” MUST LISTEN!
Ambient, Chill, RnB | Atlantic Connection – Astronomy EP
Posted by J-Tiffy on August 22, 2013
Atlantic Connection has put together an EP of great songs of is and has released it as a free download. The EP contains 5 songs that range from chill R&B/Hip-Hop beats, to extremely chill ambient jams. His music is soulful and puts out all around feel good vibes. The project showcases his production strength and range, as well as being an entertaining listen. Fans of Grimblee, MiMoSA or the like should eat this up, but I highly recommend that regardless of your musical taste you at least give the 10 minute sampler of the EP (below) a listen.

Electro | Apollo – Can You Feel It
Posted by admin on August 8, 2013
I, like my blog brother Joe Salzer, specialize in posting hiphop, but do have the capability to notice a good EDM song when it slaps me across the face. And, boy, did “Can You Feel It” give me a solid backhand to the jaw bone. I’m a sucker for vocal cuts and when I heard virtually the entire song filled with some entrancing female pipes, I was instantly hooked.
The production was synth-filled, poppy, and overall a great time to listen to. “Can You Feel It” will be featured on Apollo’s upcoming five-track EP, and if this is any indicator of what is to come, I am more than excited!
Apologies in advance for butchering any of the EDM terms that I used. I’m trying my best to learn, bear with me.
