BANKS, one of the hottest vocalist vixens in the game right now, just released her latest single, “Brain,” produced by the musical magician Shlomo himself. A follow up to her absolutely stunning London EP, this track opens with her signature sultry sound, then proceeds to showcase her vocal versatility. If BANKS didn’t totally rock your world in 2013, then keep an eye out for her now because she’s about to make some serious waves. You can catch both Shlomo and BANKS on tour this spring.
Chill, Trap | Kasbo – The Wind-Up Bird
Posted by BP on January 28, 2014
Kasbo is calling this genre “lovetrap” and I like that description of the track. “The Wind-Up Bird” is an original track by Kasbo, filled with bass and an upbeat drop drizzled in trap beats and sound effects. Yearning vocals are spliced in throughout the track and contrast surprisingly nicely with the upbeat piano and drops. Grab this one for free on Facebook, and look out for more from Kasbo!

Trance | ilan Bluestone – Spheres
Posted by Middy on January 19, 2014
ilan Bluestone started 2013 with “Sinai“, and this year he kicks things off with another bomb, the aptly named “Spheres”. It has the vintage ilan Bluestone sound that brings together a hard, driving bass line with well-crafted, soothing melodies that are perfect for Anjunabeats. Mr Bluestone had a breakout 2013, living up to the billing of just about every blog’s artist to watch last year, lets see what he can do in 2014 and “Spheres” is a great way to start.

Dubstep, Electro-House | Illenium – Risen EP
Posted by Middy on January 16, 2014
We first introduced you to Illenium’s melodic dubstep single “Drop Our Hearts” and then gave you the exclusive download of his powerful, glitchy tune “For Truth“. Now the date has come for Nick Miller, known to an increasing number as Illenium, to release his debut EP as a free download.
He kicks off the EP with a bouncy tune that gracefully adventures in Melbourne bounce, but remains in tune with his sound with the two step beat. In between “For Truth” and “Drop Our Hearts”, Illenium delivers “Souls”, a deep, bassy tune in the style that has become quite popular in Colorado and seems to be his forte, though the diversity in this EP makes it hard to pinpoint one definitive sound.

Progressive House | Galantis – Smile (Maestro Harrell Remix)
Posted by Mel on January 16, 2014
As a follow up to his “All You Need Is Love” remix, Maestro Harrell has taken a spin at remixing Galantis’ “Smile”. Differing in style slightly from his previous remix, he went for a more melodic sound with the use of a big melody that carries the soaring build into the drop. The handling of the vocals and the production behind them is a little weak but the rest of the song is good enough that it is still a nice listen.

It is my honor to introduce Tray Jack and his latest release “Full Blast” to you all. Tray hit me up yesterday with his SoundCloud via my email, and I dig his sound heavy, and you should to. From the production choices, to his flow and lyricism, Tray Jack has it all, and his song “Full Blast” is a catchy mainstream hip-hop record that incorporates the acoustic guitar and some electro vibes. I really hope with this post, Tray’s talents are recognized and his sound makes its rounds in the blogosphere, because he deserves it. This is a must listen and a must download!
