Hip-Hop, Rap | Saba – Burnout (ft. Eryn Allen Kane)
Posted by admin on June 4, 2014
A few weeks back we brought you “401k” by Chicagoan, Saba. The song was a deep, dark, and raw hip-hop track. With “Burnout”, we see a different side of Saba. While he undoubtedly stays true to himself with meaningful story telling, he is also able to show a more upbeat and easily-digestible side of his music.
Each line has a languid feel to it, while still packing the punch it should. Eryn Allen Kane chimes in beautifully with each hook to round out an already impressive song.
“Burnout” has been floating around the internet for nearly two weeks already; don’t wait any longer to listen.
Chill, Hip-Hop | Nelly – Ride Wit Me (Viceroy “Jet Life” Remix)
Posted by Grubeats on April 7, 2014
This is precisely why us East-coasters love Viceroy. While you spoiled Californian’s, Texan’s, Floridians, and any other Southern-ians have warm weather all year round, us New Englander’s are hitting the beach the minute it hits 60 degrees in April. The king of “Summertime All The Time” hits us with a filthy remix of vintage Nelly – Ride Wit Me. If you’re looking for windows down music, regardless of the temperature outside, look no further.

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 | Daft Punk – Doin It Right (jellosea x audioMimic remix)
Posted by VMan on August 8, 2013
Jellosea’s remix of Anna Kendrick’s “Cups” has been making its round in the blogosphere, and I recommend you all go on his SoundCloud page to check it out. I personally took the time to scout it for you, and came up with this remix of Daft Punk’s “Doin It Right,” which I think is amazing. I’m literally sitting here listening to it at the office on repeat and anticipating for the guitar to drop every time. This remix makes the original sound better. I wish there was a free download to this tune, but for now we’ll have to settle with clicking the play button over and over again. This is a must listen!
