Chill, Electronic | OBESON – Insomnia
Posted by BP on February 10, 2014
Obeson, pronounced “obey-son” for those who are not familiar, from Toronto, put out this unique track today and I have to say I am impressed. Using only the lyric “when you feel so tired but you can’t sleep” from Coldplay’s “Fix You” for the vocal sample, Obeson successfully conveys the vibe of insomnia throughout this eerie track. This mellow track is dark and mysterious, like the night when you can’t sleep. Grab it for free for your next late night.

Chill, Electronic | Sevnth Wonder – Fall 4 U
Posted by BP on February 9, 2014
After listening to this song on repeat all day, I figured it should be posted. Cream Collective has just been rockin’ lately. “Fall 4 U” by Boston based producer Sevnth Wonder is extremely mellow. If a song could be charming, this one would be. Smooth and sultry bass lines set the tone for the peaceful vocals. This track was originally featured in Complexion’s “Future Beats Show” earlier this month and it got fantastic feedback. Now it’s being released for all of us to download for free!
Chill, Electronic | OZZIE – U
Posted by BP on February 6, 2014
I have no idea how Ozzie made this beautiful track in an hour. It certainly doesn’t show. “U” by Ozzie is calm, melodic, and relaxing. He calls it a “throw away track” which I disagree with. This is a quality release. Piano chords and chill drums set the stage for the ear pleasing vocal sampling. Simple and mellow, “U” is a hit. You can grab this track for free if you’re feelin’ it.

Chill, Trap | Y//2//K – Not Sad
Posted by BP on February 3, 2014
If you’re looking for something mellow for your Monday, Y2K has got your back. “Not Sad”, Y2K’s newest release, is beyond chill but still has trap beats and bangin’ bass. The vocals remind me of a Blackmill track, perhaps. This track is so relaxing it will take your mind on a journey. Deep but still fresh, “Not Sad” is an excellent addition to any chill trap collection. Grab it for free!
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!

Electronic, Trap | The Chain Gang of 1974 – Sleepwalking (Goon Bags Remix)
Posted by BP on January 28, 2014
Goon Bags is a new artist on my Ipod, and a fantastic new addition. If you recognize this song from somewhere familiar, it’s because “Sleepwalking” by The Chain Gang of 1974 is the official trailer song of Grand Theft Auto 5 and can also be heard on the radio during the game. Goon Bags’ remix adds more of a trap aspect to the song that isn’t in the original. The remixed version features new drum work, bass lines, and some new synths to give it more bounce and a different energy. Overall, this track is worth a listen, and while you’re at it check out some of Goon Bags’ other tracks because they’ve got some real bangers out!

Chill, Electronic | Of Monsters and Men – Dirty Paws (Royal Refix)
Posted by BP on January 28, 2014
I came across this track sort of by accident, but it caught my attention enough to make me stop and say “wow, this is really beautiful.” Royal’s refix of Of Monsters and Men’s song “Dirty Paws” is beyond gorgeous. Royal said that making this refix made him “feel some type of way” and I think it’ll get you feeling that same type of way too. It’s mellow and melancholy, and very pleasing to the ears. This track is free to download!
