Chill, Electronic | Sevnthwonder – Toronto EP
Posted by BP on December 3, 2013
This mini-EP from Sevnthwonder called “Toronto” out on Cosmonostro is suave and bassy. Cosmonostro’s description of the two tracks is that they are “moody, emotional, yet hopeful bass numbers fitting of a night out in Ontario’s fine capital city.” I think that description couldn’t be more accurate. This duo of songs will surely take your mind on a journey.

Trap | Lenny Williams – Cause I Love You (J-Lah Remix)
Posted by yabishcic on November 27, 2013
This is just the right amount of blend between original and remix that I’ve seen J-Lah accomplish in the past. Based out of Toronto, Canada, he’s been cooking up a storm for the perfect beats recently and I can’t seem to get enough of him.
P.S. There’s a free download with this mp3 so don’t hesitate to snag it!!!

Hip-Hop, Rap | Aarrow Almighty – 5AM in Chicago
Posted by BP on September 18, 2013
Although I don’t normally write about hip-hop, I couldn’t resist supporting a fellow Chicagoan. This track from up and coming 18 year old lyricist Aarrow Almighty really caught my eye. He raps about life in Chicago and building yourself up even in the face of adversity over Drake’s “5AM in Toronto.” He will be putting out some tracks he’s produced featuring with own beats soon, and meanwhile this one is free. Since I’m no rap expert, I’ll let the track speak for itself. Keep an eye out for him!
Electro | Free n Losh – What We’ll See
Posted by VMan on September 3, 2013
The production duo from Toronto, Free n Losh, is back with Willy Wonka’s “Pure Imagination” re-imagined for our imagination: “What We”ll See.” At first I wasn’t sure what to think with the 1 minute intro, but once it drops, you’ll understand why I shared this tune, especially at the 1:26 mark once the saxophone drops! This track has all the right elements: soul, melody, bass, and I’m digging it! This is a must listen and a must download. Also look out for their EP, which will be dropping in the next few weeks via Toronto label YYZ Records.

Events, Review | 5 Things I Learned and Saw At Electric Adventure
Posted by Middy on August 22, 2013
In a little Throwback Thursday edition of event reviews, we have Electric Adventure, the 2-day festival that took place at Six Flags, in New Jersey over the 3rd and 4th of August. It combined a bass and trap heavy lineup, with some of the premier roller coasters on the eastern seaboard, giving you an experience where your adrenaline was always pumping, unless you were waiting in line for rides. The lineup was well rounded with guys like Dillon Francis, Seven Lions, GTA, 12th Planet and Zeds Dead all performing over the 2 days. Click past the jump for a few photos and some things I learned and saw at the festival.
