Chill | Rook Milo – Outland
Posted by VMan on January 31, 2014
Wow is all I have to say about this latest release by Rook Milo, “Outland,” a soulful r&b minimalist trap record incorporating samples by Eddie Kendricks. Stemming from Canada, Rook makes what he modestly calls, according to his Facebook page’s description, Canadian computer music. Not sure if it’s the cold up North that’s inspiring him to make such bone chilling tunes, but I’m with it. This is hands down a must listen! Look forward to more Rook Milo soon!

The 19 year old New York producer that goes by the name of Jimmy Q remixed Marvin Gaye’ sensual “Let’s Get It On” by chopping it up, layering it with a trap beat, and including a subtle sample of Nas’ “Nas Is Like” all for your listening pleasure. If you’re into classics being revisited to be more in tune with the sound of the times, this one’s all you! I honestly couldn’t even tag a genre for this remix, it’s a mix between tech-house, trap and old school hip hop instrumentals. Either way, this is a must listen and a must download!

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!

Trap | Johnny Rain – III (OZZIE & Hucci Remix)
Posted by BP on January 28, 2014
It’s always a treat to hear Ozzie and Hucci come together on a track. Trap veterans Ozzie and Hucci create a dark, mesmerizing atmosphere in their remix of Johnny Rain’s “III”. Low synths and trapped out beats guide the vocals to a place of mystery and melancholy. Sophisticated, yet simple, the bass lines are to die for. Lucky for us, this remix is free to download!

Electronic, Trap | The Chain Gang of 1974 – Sleepwalking (Goon Bags Remix)
Posted by BP on January 28, 2014
Goon Bags is a new artist on my Ipod, and a fantastic new addition. If you recognize this song from somewhere familiar, it’s because “Sleepwalking” by The Chain Gang of 1974 is the official trailer song of Grand Theft Auto 5 and can also be heard on the radio during the game. Goon Bags’ remix adds more of a trap aspect to the song that isn’t in the original. The remixed version features new drum work, bass lines, and some new synths to give it more bounce and a different energy. Overall, this track is worth a listen, and while you’re at it check out some of Goon Bags’ other tracks because they’ve got some real bangers out!

Bass | Tinashe – Vulnerable (Jacuzzi Remix)

For those that are still unfamiliar with Jacuzzi, he’s a young budding producer out of Honolulu who’s been gaining momentum faster than a tsunami in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Recently he’s worked with Mr. Carmack, remixed Santigold’s ‘Disparate Youth’ and released an incredible EP of free original tunes. Jacuzzi’s penchant for arranging punchy staccato drum patterns and overlaying them with dark cinematic sounds has helped him create a signature style, garnering nods of approval from industry juggernauts like Bassnectar, Craze, Pretty Lights and more.
With his latest offering Jacuzzi puts his spin on Tinashe’s sultry R&B joint ‘Vulnerable’. The trap-ish drum progression, menacing strings and Japanese sounding woodwinds mingle quite nicely with Tinashe’s smokey voice in this late-night banger. In a world where everyone is waiting for a wild-ass drop, Jacuzzi shows restraint, keeps his cool and challenges you not to bounce along.
