Electro-House | Chris Avantgarde – Fuel
Posted by Mel on July 28, 2014
Chris Avantgarde inaugurates his newly formed label the proper way with an exceptionally strong first release. Produced by the founder himself, “Fuel” is a powerful, gritty, highly energetic track and probably his best to date. It is also one of the most well produced tracks I have heard in a while. Chris has a unique sound and his label is also unique, because all of their releases are free of charge. Never one to settle on generic, Chris Avantgarde and his new label are sure to be among those to watch going forward.

Electro, Trap | Hudson Mohawke – Chimes (Official)
Posted by dshaq on July 22, 2014
Fresh off of a Pitchfork performance, Hudson Mohawke drops off a brand new single of his upcoming EP, which will be out on September 30th. As usual, HudMo does not disappoint with the release featuring the classic sound he has built with Lunice and TNGHT. A nice melodic build up clashes very well against the hard hitting bass and kicks. Festival banger, no doubt about it. Expect to be hearing this one a lot. Enjoy.
Ambient, Chill, RnB | The GTW – Calling Cards
Posted by admin on July 16, 2014
Genres are dumb. Especially when it comes to a talent such as The GTW. Nigerian-born, and Chicago-bred, The GTW pulls influences from enumerable locations in to his music. A voice tender enough to put you to sleep, yet intriguing enough to keep you begging for, more fills the pockets of the contemporary production it’s put on top of.
The African-elements to the music are evident, each different addition to the soundscape warm and comforting. I could ramble endlessly trying to decipher what The GTW’s sound is exactly, but it’s probably best for you to take a look at the video above.

Posted by Middy on July 14, 2014
The first thing that will stick out to you in this tune are the vocals. Insanely catchy, Ashea has developed a poppy sound that does not sound manufactured like many of her female peers. Working with that, London based producer, Deepmilo strips the tune back of much of its pop sensibilities for a deeper, groovier tune fit for the summer. We have the premiere right here for ya, so stream this one until it is released.

Posted by dshaq on July 11, 2014
It has been a minute since I’ve heard some new Kembe X, which makes me a SadBoy. Low key my favorite up and comer from Chicago, Kembe has finally released some new music to hold us over for a little while. Attention Deficit Disorder features a scary slowed down instrumental, along with Kembe’s flow they flow effortlessly together and sound real nice and clean. Hopefully this means more and more Kembe, which means more posts for you lucky people. Check back and enjoy.

The Blancos just hit me up with their latest release “Say Goodnight” and every time they send me new music, it gets better and better! This latest tune is so raw in its sound that it’ll give you the chills, on some classic blues/rock record that drops late night at a near empty Nashville, TN bar, if you’re catching my drift. Still on the come-up, but very much making waves in the music scene, I would follow these guys closely if I were you, I think their sound is going to catch on, and it’s going to catch on quick, so get with it. This is a must listen and a must download!

This is a must listen!
