Dubstep | Mr FijiWiji Ft. Brenton Mattheus – Imaginary Friend
Posted by Mach on December 15, 2012
Incredible emotional track from Mr FijiWiji and vocalist Brenton Mattheus. The production sounds great on this track, the way the melodic Dubstep is kept from over powering the track is perfect. Brenton Mattheus was the best way to complete this, his voice portrays the exact emotions I believe the two were aiming for.

Hip-Hop, Videos | Wax – Toothbrush [Music Video]

Coming off a humorous summer single, “Rosana”, Big Wax recently returned to the screen with another comedic single revolving around his Mrs. Butterworth’s ball and chain. The DMV native raps about the overwhelming discovery of his girl’s toothbrush in his bathroom, flossing out his competition in the process. It’s obvious Wax feels the relationship is moving faster than he anticipated, which provides a plot for his newest sing along. Wax’s third-coming project, Coming… is due to drop January 15.
Events, Review | Nero, Adventure Club & Fareoh @ Hammerstein Ballroom 10/27
Posted by Middy on October 31, 2012
On Saturday when the dance music community was fawning over the fact that Sensation was on the second night of its US debut (some of them would later show up at this concert) Nero, Adventure Club, Fareoh and Alex English were putting on a clinic at Hammerstein Ballroom. While there were some issues with the sound in that the bass all came from the floor speakers and the mids and highs came from the hanging speakers, the overall production and atmosphere was great. Alex English started off the night with a good, energetic warm up set as the crowd slowly started to file in. Fareoh followed him up with a big room set mixing in his own remixes and originals with some well crafted bootlegs. Read on to see how the rest of the night went and the full photo album is on Facebook.
Hip-Hop | Kids These Days – TrapHouse Rock (Album)
Posted by dshaq on October 30, 2012
Being an avid promoter of all Chicago music, this brand new album from Kids These Days was a must post. Their sound is so different and unique from other bands and groups, and it works. TrapHouse Rock marks the Kids’ first LP, which even garnered some production from Wilco frontman, Jeff Tweedy. Since the Kids are so nice, they decided to embody their SAVEMONEY philosophy and release the album for free. Grab the album below and hit them up on Facebook and Twitter.
Electronic | Y Luv – Driftin (Clinton VanSciver Remix)
Posted by Juicebox on October 14, 2012
Clinton VanSciver has been making a name for himself in the past few months. A sure sign of an artist who is bound to make it is someone who wins contests like Nocturnal Wonderland’s Discovery contest…which Clinton did. Today, Clinton brings us a remix of the Hypem chart topper, “Driftin” by Y Luv. The kids production, song writing, and style are all on par. Will he make it, yes….will you download this song? I hope so. Like him on Facebook here, download it below.
Drum & Bass | Black Sun Empire & Noisia – Feed The Machine
Posted by Spice on October 2, 2012
This monster of a track tops Black Sun Empire’s recent album From the Shadows, and I’ve got to say that it’s a total killer. No surprise there — when you put together two Dutch trios known for dark and dirty drum n’ bass, you’re going to get something that takes it to the next level. Black Sun Empire have been in the game for almost twenty years and their longstanding mastery of the breaks is on full display in “Feed the Machine” — this track basically sounds like South London in 1995, but with higher production value. This is a must have for all DnB fans. If you’re loving this, check out the album in full — it’s a behemoth, weighing in at an astonishing 28 tracks, but should be well worth it for any true diehards.
Albums, Electro, Pop, RnB | Quincy Kwalae & J.T. Roach – Qollab [Free EP]
Posted by Grubeats on October 1, 2012
Often times artists will blend genres and fail miserably. The spike in the popularity of EDM has left hip-hop, pop, and r&b artists with the daunting question of “how to incorporate these new sounds into their music”. Midwest natives, Quincy Kwalae (producer) & J.T. Roach (vocals) crossed paths after graduating college and instantly felt chemistry in their music. While J.T’s background runs deep as an acoustic artist with roots in R&B & Soul, Quincy’s production is native to both hip-hop and EDM instruments. Their debut Qollab EP, Piñata After Party encompasses an infusion the duo’s sounds, creating a compelling new genre of their own.
“The whole project sounds like a wild blend of Trey Songz, Skrillex, The Weeknd & Xaphoon Jones…yet, sounds like none of them at all. Maybe we made a new genre….R&BEDM?” – Q
Although this is just the beginning for these two aspiring artists, they have both been at it for quite some time, which is evident in their music. Although it’s only four new tracks, you’ll hear something new in each one. Slap on some pine tar and take a swing at this musical Piñata, you won’t be disappointed with what you find inside.
