Hip-Hop | Lucki Eck$ – Want More (Prod. Plu2o Nash)
Posted by dshaq on October 23, 2013
It’s been a little bit since we’ve heard from Chicago up and comer Lucki Eck$. His newest offering brings back the sound we heard him craft so well on his Alternative Trap mixtape. The laid back beat with the distortions really sets the mood and his verses have an eerie sound to them that I love. Very interested to see what’s in store for Lucki in the near future.

Chill, Trap | Justin Bieber – All That Matters (Chiefs Edit)
Posted by BP on October 16, 2013
Usually you won’t catch me posting Justin Bieber, but this Chiefs remix of “All That Matters” is fire. The beats are clean and crisp and sound crazy cool under the chopped Bieber vocals. This is unique, and is a great addition to any chill trap collection. This smooth and excellently produced track is free to download!

Hip-Hop, Mixtapes, Rap | Vic Mensa – Innanetape (Mixtape)
Posted by admin on October 12, 2013
Now that the blogosphere has had time to recover from the massive shockwave that hit it upon the release of #INNANETAPE, I figured it was time to give my spin on things.
The tape starts with a sound reminiscent of Kids These Days, a live drum drum pattern and the screech of an electric guitar. However, the former KTD frontman does not play it safe by any means and is constantly pushing sound boundaries throughout the tape. Mensa calls on board fellow Chi-town representatives, Rockie Fresh, Chance the Rapper, and BJ The Chicago Kid to add some Midwest flare to the tape, as well as TDE conglomerate, Ab-Soul.
From top to bottom this project is one of my favorites of the year so far. Check out the stand-out tracks, “Orange Soda”, “Hollywood, LA”, “Holy Holy”, and “YNSP”, but be sure to give the full tape a listen!
Progressive House | Robin S – Show Me Love (Filtercrush 2013 Remix)
Posted by Middy on October 11, 2013
Yes technically the title of the track is the bootleg of “Be” and “Show Me Love” by Hardwell, but the men of the hour here are NYC duo Filtercrush. This may not be for everyone, especially for those who are in love with the iconic piano of the original, but the NYC duo keep the melody, but add their own percussive element to update for the sound of 2013. The track is free, so don’t hesitate to grab it. If you are in NYC tomorrow, put on your swanky suit and dancing shoes, and come to see Filtercrush at Lavo.

House, Indie | Gentlemen Hall – Sail Into The Sun (Lenno Remix)
Posted by Middy on October 9, 2013
Sleek, summer and soothing. These three words can sum up the indie-dance remix that Lenno just put on Gentleman Hall’s single “Sail Into The Sun. It has all of Lenno’s funky, disco stylistic abilities, with the indie sound of the original, that makes not only this a great remix, but the pairing of Lenno’s sound with indie rock perfect. This is a no-strings attached download, so you have no excuse not to get it.
