D!RTY AUD!O is back with another free release for you guys, this time coming as an official remix for Ying Yang Twins. Surprisingly I haven’t become too tired of trap yet and it’s finally becoming better in quality with its high demand. This track has some unique features that separate it from the rest in my opinion. The little growlish sounds in the beginning was a unique taste I hadn’t seen before in trap, along with addicting and bouncy melody. It seems as though D!RTY AUD!O has been grinding it out consistently in the studio lately so be prepared for some more releases coming from him soon.

FYI | Your Favorite DJs Before They Made It Big

Tiesto, Armin & Ferry

You have seen posts before by other blogs with pictures of DJs when they were little kids or even teenagers. That is cute and all, but here we want to show you when they were looking like goons, in that phase of their professional life they would probably rather forget, when they were young and reckless and not always ready for the camera. Some of them do look like they were born for the camera (see Fatboy Slim, Pete Tong & Carl Cox), but others: oh boy, let’s have some fun on this special Throwback Thursday. Before you move on, please bask in how goonish Tiesto, Armin and Ferry look in that picture. Armin had his law degree at that point. Imagine being represented in court by him; unreal.

Hip-Hop, Rap | Sam Lachow – 80 Bars Pt. 2

Posted by on July 13, 2013

Oh, where to begin…Well, how about with GZA, because that’s exactly where Sam started. Then on to Lil’ Keke, Kanye, Keak Da Sneak, Nelly, and finally TLC. Blending all these instrumentals together flawlessly, Lachow shows off his versatility as well as command of delivery. Seattle born and raised, Sam has no qualms with showing pride for The Town; the whole video is shot throughout the city and displays Sam and company clowning around. And, that’s really what this release was about, after the slowed-down introspective sounds of Sam’s previous release, “King Lear“, this was a fun way to bounce back and show that the fun-loving kid was still having a great time making music.

Sam has just finished up his Midwest/Northwest tour and is now back at it in the studio. There is without a doubt plenty more to be heard, and in fact “80 Bars Pt. 3” will release as soon as Lachow reaches 10k followers on Twitter. What are you waiting for? Go follow him, I need some new music!

Cover, Hip-Hop | PropaneLv – Blood On The Leaves (Kanye West Cover)

Posted by on June 25, 2013

It’s been 3 weeks since last heard from Lv. Word is, as he confirms in the video above, that he’s been in the studio with D.Shuts finishing up his debut album, Varsity Blues, due sometime in September. On another note, he really goes off on Kanye’s “Blood On The Leaves”. The vocals initially set a tone that is shattered when the beat drops. If you’re the impatient type just go straight to 1:14. Boom! #LTRMN.

Mashups, Progressive House | DOSVEC – Bad Things

Posted by on June 25, 2013

UpdateBadThingsaFinal

So the story goes that DOSVEC heard the original song “Bad Things” by Meiko on a Real House Wives of New Jersey commercial and had his people call her people. Her people sent over the A Capella, he mashed it up with Deadmau5 and Meiko personally enjoyed it. Now it is time for all of us to enjoy it.

This track sounds like Deadmau5 sat in the studio with Meiko and created progressive house. The A Capella and Beats intertwine seamlessly and compliment each other very well. Press play and check it yourself, warning very addictive.

Electro, Trap | Snakehips – Make It

Posted by on June 10, 2013

Snakehips dropped this track yesterday to “tie us over” as they continue working in the studio on their next single. If this what they scrounged up just to keep us busy then I don’t think my body is ready for what they’re about to release. Guess I’ll just have to get out all my excitement by bumpin’ along to this bad boy (shouldn’t be too hard). I wasn’t sure how to go about describing this to the virgin ear, so after perusing through the comments a little bit I pulled some helpful hints — “massive,” “outer space realness,” and my favorite, “dip swang.” So don’t be fooled by the gentle intro, this song will knock you OUT.

Check it.

Albums | Jonny Craig — The Lives We Live (prod. Captain Midnite) [Video]

Posted by on June 3, 2013

Every once in awhile a producer comes around who really grabs my attention. Generally it’s because they seem to share such similar taste; the kind of producer who essentially makes the kinds of beats I would if I was any good. That for me, recently, has been Captain Midnite, whose stellar solo EP, All This Will Fade, was released on the site back in October. Where Midnite really excels, though, is when he sits down with a single artist and produces an entire project, like he’s done with Georgia rapper Kyle Lucas. In those instances, he is able to create a sound that is the ideal of the studio album—where collectively the work sounds much more impressive than the individual cut. Recently, he has paired up with Canadian-American singer/rocker Jonny Craig, who, after serving as the frontman for a handful of bands, is readying his first solo project for a summer release. The first single, “The Lives We Live”, is another great Midnite track, fit with some impressively soulful vocals from Craig. Check it out, and get excited for the album set to release in the upcoming months.
