Electronic, Trap | Usher – U Don’t Have To Call (Hex Cougar Edit)
Posted by mimada on January 20, 2014
Wow, I don’t even know how to introduce this song eloquently other than DAMN! But lemme introduce Hex Cougar first – an LA based producer part of Neo Fresco’s label, Shifty Rhythms, whose interests include “stalking & killing prey, hiding in shadows, running real fast, scaring children, & Mexican food.” But it gets better. This remix is a perfect blend of chill, trap, and Jersey Voicemail club. But here’s the best part of all – it’s a free download! So pounce on this piece of meat pronto.

Pegboard Nerds, the production duo from Norway, drop a heavy electro-bass trap influenced record “Bassline Kickin'” that’s going to get you going. If you’re enjoying that Saturday morning hang over get ready to be smacked in the face, or better yet kicked in the face by this bassline, no pun intended. The duo will be going on tour in the US & Canada starting in February all the way through May, and you can check out their tour dates on their SoundCloud . The track is currently available on Beatport, so support, and DJs you’re going to want to include this one in you’re set! This is a must download and a must listen!

Compilation, Featured, House | Top 50 Dance Tracks Of 2013 (Including 50-41)
Posted by Middy on January 13, 2014
Yes we know, you may be “top _____ of 2013” listed out, but bear with us as we present you our top 50 dance tracks of 2013. In the past we have done just big room / progressive, but here we attempt to take on the whole genre, from trap to progressive to deep house. A few ground rules and biases for how these tracks were selected. “Top” means biggest and best. So the most supported and played out tracks, first and foremost, but also our own bias as well to make this list not just a carbon copy of every other one you have read. All of us are based in the US / Canada, so our perception of what is played live is a largely US worldview, though we try and take a step back. The songs have to have been released in 2013. So tracks like “Easy”, “I Could Be The One”, “Alive”, “Clarity” and “Harlem Shake”, while all huge in 2013, won’t qualify for the list because they were released in 2012. Tough luck, but I think the artists will manage. Check out 50-41 after the jump and at the end find links for 40-31, 30-21, 20-11 and the best of the best, 10-1.
Chill, Trap | Elaksi – Near Me
Posted by VMan on January 13, 2014
“Near Me” by Elaksi was introduced to me by a friend, and I love these chill trap records that have been coming out lately, and this one in particularly resonates with me. Elaksi is a 19 year old producer from Finland that has done unofficial remixes for Kanye West, Rustie, and Stwo among others, which I strongly suggest you venture through his SoundCloud. His usage of the smooth vocal sample, along with hard hitting 808 kicks and furiously fast hi-hats makes for an epic track! I look forward to hearing more from this young producer. This is a must listen!
Trap | Woolymammoth – ELLA
Posted by yabishcic on January 13, 2014
I must say before you play, this track is EXTREMELY unpredictable. It goes from low key trap, to some serious “I’m not playin’ around” trap, back to some light core and then onto the next drop that completely blew my brains out, sounding like something in-between Floss and Skrillex. This track absolutely kills it, thanks to the lovely Ella Fitzgerald herself.
Chill | Nick Leng – Crawled Out Of The Sea
Posted by VMan on January 10, 2014
“Crawled Out Of The Sea” by Nick Leng was brought to my attention today and it’s that much needed sound vacation I’ve needed. Sometimes a nice little chill record is all the soul needs, and Mr. Leng delivers. I would classify this tune as chillwave with a little bit of trap. Word is Basenji is working on a remix, and another remix by a very popular producer that I won’t give away until confirmed. No samples, all original, peep Nick’s SoundCloud, and support this record by purchasing it on Bandcamp. This is a must listen!
