Albums | AlunaGeorge – Body Music
Posted by VMan on September 6, 2013
Last night I had the pleasure of catching AlunaGeorge’ sold-out NYC show at the Bowery, and after seeing them live, I think I like their new album “Body Music” even more. AlunaGeorge is made up of Aluna Francis and George Reid, whom are both from London, and I strongly suggest you listen to the album. George’s productions mesh perfectly with Aluna’s particular vocals, which at times reminds me of Janet Jackson’s voice from back in the days, or Inoj’s voice, for those who know her. There’s no doubt about it, “Body Music” is fresh and you’re bound to find a track you love. My favorites off the album so far are “Best Be Believing,” “Attracting Flies,” and “Lost & Found.” Stream the album on SoundCloud and get that on iTunes or find a way to get it, this is an excellent album!

Trance, Trap | EZRA – Dreaming
Posted by VMan on September 2, 2013
Dutch producer EZRA released a trance-trap fusion track called “Dreaming” and you can expect a euphoric trip with this one. With a progressive build from synths, to drums, to bass, topped with dreamy female vocals, you can’t go wrong. Sitting here reminiscing on this grey Labor Day of how epic Summer 2013 was, one can’t help but feel accomplished listening to “Dreaming.” Interestingly enough, just like all dreams, it’s too short! EZRA make us an extended version, 2 minutes of dreaming is just too short, and make this track available for downoad! Either way stream this record, and enjoy your day off! Must listen!
Chill, Electronic | Mieux – Pearl (Sekuoia Remix)
Posted by BP on August 27, 2013
Experimental artist Sekuoia, hailing from Copenhagen, created this chill remix of “Pearl” as a part of Mieux’s Neufant (Remixes) EP. The vocal chops and percussion take your mind far away. It’s the kind of track that is easy to get lost in – perfect for studying or relaxing in these last few days of August. You can stream it here until it is officially released in mid September to UpMyAlley!
I had to throw this one in too. A more upbeat track, this is We Sink’s Remix of “Greek”, also on Mieux’s Neufant (Remixes) EP.
Hip-Hop | Eminem – Berzerk
Posted by LoffyG on August 26, 2013
As many of you probably know by now, last night during a commercial break of the VMA’s a Beats by Dre commercial announced the title and release date of Eminem’s 8th Studio album. Dubbed “The Marshall Mathers LP 2”, this is the sequel to the fastest-selling studio album by any solo artist in American music history and it’s set to release on 11/5/13. Berzerk is the first single off the album and it has a old school Beastie Boys vibe to it. The Stans are going to love it and the people who are still praying for the old Eminem to return probably wont. Let’s just hope this album will live up to it’s name. Stream the track below.
Chill | Bondax – Giving It All (French Kiwi Juice Remix)
Posted by VMan on August 24, 2013
French Kiwi Juice is that dude, anything he remixes, you can be sure is going to hit the spot! With that said, the producers from the UK, Bondax, called upon his services to remix this gem “Giving It All.” The drop around 40 seconds has that signature French Kiwi Juice feel, with a funky bass, and a light guitar layered with soulful vocals. If you’re looking for that cool track for your Saturday, we got you. Unfortunately no free download for this one, but stream at will. This track reminds me a bit of Kendrick Lamar’s “Poetic Justice,” let me know if you hear it.
And if you’re just getting acquainted with the French producer, listen to this tune “So Much To Me,” you’re going to be converted!
Dubstep | Tiesto – Take Me (Mr FijiWiji Remix)
Posted by BP on August 17, 2013
Mr FijiWiji never disappoints. His remix of Tiesto’s “Take Me” is an entry in Tiesto’s remix contest on Beatport. The winner gets his/her remix officially released on Tiesto’s Musical Freedom label and a few other prizes. So far, this version stands out against the others because Mr FijiWiji changed the whole vibe of the song. It’s ambient and soothing. The percussion is so intricate and the piano dabbled in is just gorgeous. Official voting starts September 10th, but you can stream the song and comment on Beatport already.

House, Techno | Cassy – fabric 71
Posted by Spice on August 16, 2013
With Electric Zoo 2013 drawing closer and closer, it’s time to start doing your homework on the lineup so that you’re guaranteed to get the most out of the weekend. One of the places we’re most excited to hit is the notorious Sunday School Grove, which will be churning out deep house all day on Friday (and indeed, all weekend) until a sure-to-be-awesome closing set from the legendary Danny Tenaglia. Who, of course, is from New York. Fitting.
Friday’s lineup in the Grove is stacked, but we’re particularly stoked to check out British-born/Austria-rasied/Berlin-based Cassy, who has been taking dance floors the world over by storm. She’s maintained no less than four residencies in 2013, including at the much-touted Output in Brooklyn. In advance of her set, we strongly encourage you to check out her upcoming mix for London’s fabric, which is funky, atmospheric, and expertly crafted. Stream a promo mix below, and check out the full track list after the jump.
