Electro | Rudimental – Feel The Love (Kill Paris Remix)
Posted by Middy on March 28, 2013
Kill Paris makes straight up baby making music. There is no way around it. He may be the Barry White of EDM — if Barry White was small, white and took slightly creepy pictures in sunflower fields, but I digress. Kill Paris’ combinination of funk, soul, grit and electro makes his sound ideal for what Rudimental brings to the table for what was one my favorite tracks in 2012 and one of the biggest dnb tracks of the year commercially. The remix keeps John Newman’s soulful vocals and lets Kill Paris work his magic, giving it the unique flavor of gritty undercurrents and playful piano motifs that create almost an entirely new track.

Exclusive, Progressive House | Marcus Santoro – Emporium [FNT Premier]
Posted by Mel on February 28, 2013
The day I came across 17 year old Marcus Santoro was a special one. I remember it dearly. It was the last day of fall semester before finals. I was sitting at a table, waiting for my friends, when a girl from class came up to me with a twinkle in her eye, a smile on her face, and asked me something. “Do you wanna study together? I live on campus so we can go there if you want. It’ll be fun!” she said. “No, not really” I replied. She then scurried away, seemingly angry for some reason. It was at that moment I realized that I had made a huge mistake. I forgot to bring a lunch. After buying some food I went back to the table, popped open my laptop, and started browsing Soundcloud. That’s when I found his awesome bootlegs of Project 46’s “Feel The Fire” and Chris Reece’s “Life Is Amazing”. He didn’t completely change the songs, but the things he did change were quite good. His drops were some of the best I had heard in a while. I was also surprised at how clean his mixes were for such a young and seemingly inexperienced producer.
He’s had this track locked away for some time now and has allowed me to give its debut. “Emporium” is the quintessential big room track. Displaying mellow breaks, energetic builds, and powerful drops. Having recently been signed to the prestigous Neon Records, the future is looking bright for this young Australian.

Hip-Hop, Review | Grubeats’ Top 12 of ’12
Posted by Grubeats on January 14, 2013
Grubeats; fashionably tardy as always. I can’t promise I’ve saved the best for last, but hopefully this eclectic mix of tracks tickle’s at least party of your fancy. I’d enjoy hearing from you in the comments section if you have opinions on any of these songs!
12.) Skizzy Mars – Sirens
This young star didn’t sound my radar until late spring of ’12. I had heard the name and few scattered verses, but overlooked the true talent Skizzy Mars was bringing to the table until I first heard “Sirens”. With sounds similar to a young Cudi, Skizzy himself only recently graduated high school and has only begun to lie the brick and mortar for long, prosperous career.
11.) Skrillex & Damian Marley – Make It Bun Dem
As you probably know, I’m not a die heard EDM head like many writers and followers of this site. No kandi for this kid. I do however, enjoy just about anything Skrillex lays his hands on. Couple the addictive production with Damian Marley’s rasta raps and you have pure gold. If and when hip-hop and EDM cross paths, this is the type of execution I expect. [Watch video HERE]

Posted by LoffyG on January 9, 2013
No worries ya’ll Trill Tuesday, well Wednesday now, is here and CJ Trillo delivers yet another laid back jam produced by his right-hand man, Jim I.E. I really enjoy CJ’s music, to me it’s a fresh breath of air after listening to many of the artists I do because what he brings to the table is a different, unique style, which sets his music apart. Check out his latest project “Heavy” if you like what you hear and catch up with him via his social media outlets below.

Electro-House | Kaskade & Swanky Tunes ft. Lights – No One Knows Who We Are
Posted by Middy on December 24, 2012
With Kaskade on the shelf from touring after his incredibly arduous and long Freaks of Nature tour this summer, we can expect more productions to be released from him soon, and this collab with Swanky Tunes and Lights is the first to see the light of day. This is one of those either you love it or you hate it songs because it is a strong change from what we have come to love with Kaskade. That does not mean change is a bad thing, but the grinding electro house that Swanky Tunes brings to the table in this track is a strong departure from what we are used to hearing from Ryan Raddon with his uplifting and emotional songs. Personally, I am not that big a fan of it and would love to see some remixes of it, especially with the vocals from Lights, but I can see how others would like this.

Hip-Hop, Videos | RiFF RaFF – LiL MAMA i’M SORRY
Posted by dshaq on July 6, 2012
Now usually “A” is the first to post good ole RiFF RAFF, but luckily I was able to snag it from him this time. What RiFF RAFF brings to the table is pure entertainment. Sure his lines are outrageous and even have my own father laughing at them, but that’s part of the appeal. He is the ultimate break from the normal and that’s why he is so awesome in my eyes…and A’s. With material and a personality like RiFF’s, don’t be surprised if he’s hanging around the RAP GAME for awhile. RAP GAME JAROMIR JAGR’S MULLET Sound off your best “RAP GAMES” in the comment section.
