Chill, Trap | Kasbo – The Wind-Up Bird
Posted by BP on January 28, 2014
Kasbo is calling this genre “lovetrap” and I like that description of the track. “The Wind-Up Bird” is an original track by Kasbo, filled with bass and an upbeat drop drizzled in trap beats and sound effects. Yearning vocals are spliced in throughout the track and contrast surprisingly nicely with the upbeat piano and drops. Grab this one for free on Facebook, and look out for more from Kasbo!

Chill, Electronic | Of Monsters and Men – Dirty Paws (Royal Refix)
Posted by BP on January 28, 2014
I came across this track sort of by accident, but it caught my attention enough to make me stop and say “wow, this is really beautiful.” Royal’s refix of Of Monsters and Men’s song “Dirty Paws” is beyond gorgeous. Royal said that making this refix made him “feel some type of way” and I think it’ll get you feeling that same type of way too. It’s mellow and melancholy, and very pleasing to the ears. This track is free to download!
Chill, Electronic | DAILON – Trips (Ion The Prize Flip)
Posted by BP on January 28, 2014
Ion The Prize, from California, has put out a trippy remix of Dailon’s “Trips” for us today. He gave the song more of an upbeat feel than the original track, and made it sound a bit more complex. You can still hear the chord progression from the mellow original, but with new drum work and vocal samples. His take on the track lends way to a higher pitched melody and quicker tempo as well. The ambient piano section at the end is very pretty. Grab this one for free right off Soundcloud!
Chill, Trap | Cleindl – Girl
Posted by BP on January 27, 2014
I’ve been listening to this track non-stop in my car and finally that decided it needs to be posted. “Girl” by Japanese producer Cleindl is relaxing, eerie, and fresh. Every layer in this track sounds crisp and clean. Vocal chopping and sampling laid over trap beats lays the base for this unique original song. If you’re digging the stylish atmosphere brought forth by Cleindl you can download it for free via Facebook.

Trap | Elaksi – Near Me
Posted by BP on January 27, 2014
Elaksi, a 19 year old producer from Helsinki, Finland, put out an awesome track on Eighth Supply as part of their Free Single Series. “Near Me” is a chill trap track with eerie vocal sampling and building synths. This track is best listened to on some big speakers if you’re a bass lover, since the bass is to die for. In the words of Eighth Supply, “Elaksi has definitely come into his own and showcases it on this banger!”. You can grab this track for free on Bandcamp.
