The boys of the summer sound are back with their 25th installment of the Solé fixtape! It’s been awesome being on board with these guys since their first installment and watching this series grow into a diverse yet impressive group of artists. If you’re not familiar with Belgium native, Aeroplane, now is a great time to hop on board with his sound. Coming off a hot weekend at Coachella, Aeroplane is an artist to watch in 2014.

I know a lot of ya’ll are all about that big room progressive house sound, and with support by mega producer EDX, I’m here to give ya’ll exactly what you need with Looney B’s remix of Bimbo Jones’ funky disco record “I Found Out,” off their album “Go Naked,” and it’s massive! The spacey melodic synths are so damn catchy it’s impossible to not smile and get lost to the sound. This is one of those feel good records that you’d be lying to yourself if you weren’t feeling it, no lie. This is a must listen and support by copping the record on iTunes!

Electro, Trap | Daytrip – Flight 43 (NYC)
Posted by admin on April 9, 2014
Before deeming any new music as something special it needs to pass my three-stage exam. Make no mistake, this is not an easy feat as the song or artist must sound equally glorious through headphones, car speakers, and desktop speakers. This morning sealed the deal, and Daytrip has officially passed the test.
Their first official release is entitled “Flight 43”, and it seems quite fitting. The song builds for take-off, and cruises through an exciting ride –is there such thing as pleasant turbulence?– before finally slowing down to land, awaiting their next journey. Although it is the first song public on SoundCloud, it’s apparent the Daytrip duo is not new to making music. And, any look through their travel-log/tumblr will show you that this product has been a long time coming.
Daytrip’s sound is one that is difficult to pinpoint. While some may knock “Flight 43 (NYC)” for trying to do too much, I hear a song that is incredibly cohesive, despite its numerous experimental features. Listeners can hear a Jacuzzi/Mr. Carmack future-trap influence alongside a shredded guitar sample, all packaged in to an “ambitious powerhouse production” (Confusion, P&P).
In a day and age where music is becoming a “less is more” game, Daytrip is an exciting, unexpected and refreshing twist.
Ambient, Electro | Nico Schinco – Sura (Original Mix)

20 year old Nico Schinco hit me up out of the blue yesterday and asked me to check out his latest track “Sura,” which is readily available on Beatport for purchase, and to which he will be giving away all the proceeds recouped to the World Wildlife Fund. I happily obliged to his request a day after, and man this tune has vibes and melody for days! Trancy, progressive, tribal, these are just a few words to describe this sound, but you really have to hear it for yourself to grasp the aura of “Sura.” This is a must listen and support by copping this track NOW!

Hip-Hop, Mixtapes | Vonny Del Fresco – After It All (EP)
Posted by admin on April 5, 2014
Over the course of the past few months, we have watched Vonny Del Fresco transform his raw potential (seen in, Noir Designer) to a sound completely his own and easily digestible by a wide array of listeners.
Del Fresco has just released After It All, a second EP in the seemingly connected series of short projects he has been putting out. In comparison to his previous project, After The Fall, After It All is incredibly more refined. From the production of Kingston, BNJMN and Cam Wallace all the way to the features of Dee Phresh and Carpe DM, Vonny Del Fresco is making it clear that he is not simply another rapper to get lost in the vast abyss of internet rap.
Enjoy Vonny’s signature distorted vocals, and unique social commentary throughout After It All.
Chill, Trap | NoVista – Lights (Ft. Ana Criado)
Posted by BP on March 21, 2014
If you haven’t heard of 18 year old Canadian producer NoVista yet – listen up! This remix is incredibly well made. His sound reminds me of Hucci, one of my personal favorites. This track features trap beats and beautiful vocals. The notes creating the airy melody are bouncy and fun. I was impressed with this up and coming producer and I think you will be too. Grab this one for free!
