Review | Mike Stud – Closer [Album]
Posted by BIGLIFE on July 20, 2014
Studnation is back and it appears Mike is closer than he’s ever been with his latest album, Closer. In May, Mike released a video to let his fans know about his new album release. The teaser reflects on the journey Mike has made from being a star baseball prospect to an even bigger prospect as a musician. This album shows growth and maturity in Mike’s life and music. He is most focused on being happy and letting the success follow. Does he have room to grow and improve? Most certainly he does, but even Mike knows he has a long journey ahead of him.

“Hold Up” is one of Trey Palms strongest record since his past few releases over 2014 as it showcases his fast double time flow in the first verse before the record is crooned the chorus with a heavy down beat in a matter that highlight’s the rappers deep voice. Trey is on the steady rise for success but until he will be throwing 1’s instead of 100’s to pick up the girls at the club. Check it out and grab the free download below! This is a must listen and a must download!

Progressive House | Noosa – Begin Again (Live City Remix)
Posted by Middy on July 12, 2014
Another day, another superb free remix from Live City. This time they take on NYC indie artist, Noosa who they describe as “to put it briefly, extremely dope”, and I would not argue that point. They add their own instrumental they sits alongside Noosa’s vocals and then add a little more oomph to the climax. Grab this freebee below.

Events | Get Stoked: Ookay x Tropkillaz @ Regency San Francisco, TONIGHT
Posted by Nick on July 11, 2014
Okay, so it’s about that time of the year where work is pretty much at full-tilt and the novelty of it being summer has just about completely worn off. It’s about that time of the year where you have things planned for later, but right now, you’re just kind of sitting on your ass, waiting for an opportunity to let loose and really get down into that summer groove. Well, if you’re from the Bay Area, that opportunity has finally arrived: class-A trap troll Ookay and Brazilian heavy hitters Tropkillaz are hitting up Regency Ballroom this evening.
This show is going to be absolutely nuts. Ookay, a seasoned performer, fresh off the stage at EDC Vegas, will no doubt throw down one of the craziest live sets you’ll see this year. He’s also got a pretty sweet sense of humor that he somehow manages to factor into his sets. My personal favorite was when he trolled an entire venue with “Martin Garrix Had A Farm” – see the video evidence below.
As for Tropkillaz, everyone knows things are just a little more edgy in South America. You can count on something massively twerk-tastic from this Sao Paolo-based duo. It’s a bit NSFW, but if you want to see an example of a Tropkillaz show, go and check it out HERE.
So, before it’s too late (because it will get to that point), go and grab your tickets HERE. It’s time to get wild and say you actually did something this summer.
Indie | The Blancos – Say Goodnight

The Blancos just hit me up with their latest release “Say Goodnight” and every time they send me new music, it gets better and better! This latest tune is so raw in its sound that it’ll give you the chills, on some classic blues/rock record that drops late night at a near empty Nashville, TN bar, if you’re catching my drift. Still on the come-up, but very much making waves in the music scene, I would follow these guys closely if I were you, I think their sound is going to catch on, and it’s going to catch on quick, so get with it. This is a must listen and a must download!

Chill, Compilation, Mix | WhitneyAbstraKt – A Night With Leyla
Posted by admin on July 5, 2014
Curation is key. It is this fact alone that has allowed music streaming services such as Songza and Beats to be purchased for millions and millions of dollars this past year. And, it is this fact that keeps talented curators in the front of our minds and ears.
In the wake of endless singles, one-off radio hits, and all-around clutter in music it is nice to know that there are those out there that will spend tireless hours of their own time to bring a collection of the best music to your ears. Today, this glorious mix of tunes is brought to us by WhitneyAbstraKt in conjunction with Artistic Manifesto.
The mix is self-described as follows: “It’s a mild spring evening, the wind is gently blowing through her hair, and you’re out enjoying a night on the town. You have one thing in mind, but the night carries you in an entirely different direction. Before you know it, dawn has arrived and you realize that the entire night has been one hazy, disorienting, pleasurable blur. You just experienced “A Night With Leyla.” This is your soundtrack.”
Enjoy the eclectic musical stylings, and have a great Saturday night to accompany it.
Bass | Bixel Boys – Clutch (Original Mix)

And here it is, “Clutch” the B side of the Bixel Boys’ debut EP “Empire” is now here, and it sounds like some throwback “pump up the jam” track with a 21st century twist, which honestly you might catch me with a portable boombox blasting this in the city for the break dancers it’s so retro-cool. Yeah, I just played this tune for the 10th time, and I’m inspired to try out some break dancing moves on some cardboard on the sidewalk, so keep in mind if you get that feeling to break it down, dance responsibly!! This is a must listen!
