This time last year Chance had just dropped ‘Juice’, a feature track off of his second Mixtape Acid, and his buzz was just building. Around the same time last year the multi-talented Tinashe was assembling her second tape, Reverie. Now a year later they are both in the midst of their ascension into God-like-status, so it’s hard to imagine that their collaborative joint was criminally slept-on, it was low-key one of the best collabs of last year. The ‘Ecstasy’ remix was an early window into the dynamism of both of these  artists. Tinashe and Chance have since individually hopped on some major joints with some artful musicians and they seem to always fit in wherever a microphone needs blessing.

Chill, Electronic | OZZIE – U

Posted by on February 6, 2014

I have no idea how Ozzie made this beautiful track in an hour. It certainly doesn’t show. “U” by Ozzie is calm, melodic, and relaxing. He calls it a “throw away track” which I disagree with. This is a quality release. Piano chords and chill drums set the stage for the ear pleasing vocal sampling. Simple and mellow, “U” is a hit. You can grab this track for free if you’re feelin’ it.

DO SOMETHING

Albums | DJ Prime – Start A F#cking Riot

It’s been a while since I’ve heard a decent electro-house track: with an industry that’s been somewhat over-saturated with trap and  house, this banger is, ironically, pretty refreshing. Straight out of NYC, DJ Prime, the guy who bumped Martin Garrix’s “Wizard” out of the #1 spot on the Hypem Charts with “Big Room Bass,” just threw us a brand new track dubbed “Start A F***ing Riot!” When you turn up, be ready for some anarchy.

Electro-House, Progressive House | Chris Avantgarde – Colours, Discovery

Chris Avantgarde is a relatively unknown German producer who, aside from the mysterious release on Size that has yet to come to fruition, has largely flown under the radar. Although his releases have been few and far between, he has been busy producing and is now providing us with a constant stream of tracks. “Colours” and “Discovery” are his first two songs he has given away. “Colours” is a typical progressive track lead by a big melody and “Discovery” is his take on electro house and the current festival sound. The drop in “Discovery” is not the most inspired but the breakdown in it is great.

Dubstep | Crywolf & Ianborg – Stay

Posted by on February 5, 2014

Whenever I see Crywolf or Ianborg put out a new track I already assume it’s going to be beautiful. Seeing those two names together definitely made me excited to take a listen, and I was not disappointed. Melodic dubstep with emotional vocals sets the stage for “Stay”, a new single from the two creative artists. The track still has enough bass to please bass lovers like myself, and clearly these guys are no strangers to making gorgeous melodies. I can hear the styles of each artist loud and proud in this single, and it makes for a truly high quality piece.

Our friends over at Monstercat hit me with a track by UK duo Lets Be Friends “FTW” that is leaving me completely stumped and inspired! Rarely does my jaw drop, and lead me to ask “what the fuck is this?” in the most positive way possible. Lets Be Friends went hard with this production, and as the title states, they went straight for the win! If you happen to add this to your playlist for the car, make sure you check your sped-o-meter, you might catch yourself doing over 100mph and not realize it, that’s how hard this goes. This is hands down a must listen and support by copping it on Beatport!
