Chill, Trap | Bronze Whale – Drive
Posted by BP on November 13, 2013
Of course, when a fire new Bronze Whale track comes out I have to cover it. “Drive” is a fun trap track, starting out simple and slowly building complexity as the track goes along. I especially like the end when there’s a whole lot going on at once. This is a more chill track, as per usual with Bronze Whale. Check it out on Beatport!

Events, Review | Ed Banger Celebrates 10 Years In Style At Hammerstein Ballroom
Posted by Middy on November 13, 2013
First off, congrats to one of the best labels at remaining true to a vision that does not follow the beaten path, regardless of what the current trend might be. It has most notably been known for the releases of French super-duo Justice, but has also been home to the releases of Breakbot, DJ Mehdi, its owner Busy P and others. The label has always brought something different to the table and this show exemplified that.

Events | Event Review: UZ, K Theory, & Vital Riots, 09/NOV/2013
Posted by Nick on November 10, 2013
People have always told me about how mysterious UZ is; how enigmatic the act is that he puts on – and after his performance last night in San Luis Obispo, I’m here to tell you how cool it actually is.
Following two killer sets from Vital Riots and K Theory, the mystery man put on an insane, trap-filled set that lit up the entire venue, keeping the crowd moving track, after track, after track. Throwing down pieces from his “Trap Sh*t” series, all the way to DJ Snake’s “Bird Machine,” UZ had it going on from start to finish. Even with this girl trying (way too hard) to dance in front of him during his set, the new age trap star remained unfazed.
Speaking of “that girl” (who ended up getting kicked off stage about three times), she even tried to grind on/make out with Malcolm of K Theory during their set. Thankfully, he had the sense to say no, and continue with one of the most versatile EDM acts I’ve seen a while (which is especially impressive considering they were missing their third member, Dylan, who fell seriously ill shortly before the show). Regardless of any strange women trying to take the stage that night, the Black & Gold Party at The Graduate was definitely a great experience, and a show you should feel sad about missing if you weren’t there – sucks to suck. S/O to Collective Effort Events for putting together a great lineup.
Trap | Naughty Boy – Think About It (feat. Wiz Khalifa & Ella Eyre) [TWRK Remix]

Not too lyric heavy and just the right about of catchy trap beats to fill the void, this remix by NYC producer TWRK is pretty noteworthy to say the least. Great for DJ sets and underground parties.
Electronic, Trap | Papertoy – The Love
Posted by BP on November 9, 2013
Surprise! I’m writing about another Die High release. “The Love” by Papertoy, from Sydney, Australia, is bouncy and light. It’s got some trap beats, but the synths make me want to put it in just an “electronic” category. The vocal chops are way cool, and the airy feel to the song is fantastic. Papertoy has lots of other excellent trap remixes on his Soundcloud, so check his page out if you’re feelin’ it!

Electronic, Trap | What So Not – Touched
Posted by Spice on November 7, 2013
What So Not, the buzzy duo consisting of Flume and Emoh, are back with a free DL for your Thursday. “Touched” features big 80s-inspired synth pads and a funky, rhythmic trap break — a somewhat unusual combination but one that works (and anyway, these guys do different very well). The chilled out, almost wistful vibe is definitely easy on the ears. Stream below and hop on the free DL.
