Chill, Trap | Justin Bieber – All That Matters (Chiefs Edit)

Posted by on October 16, 2013

Usually you won’t catch me posting Justin Bieber, but this Chiefs remix of “All That Matters” is fire. The beats are clean and crisp and sound crazy cool under the chopped Bieber vocals. This is unique, and is a great addition to any chill trap collection. This smooth and excellently produced track is free to download!

Albums, Chill, Trap | Chu. – Holidae Holidae

Posted by on October 13, 2013

Australian native Chu, who was featured on FNT a little while ago, released a five track album called Holidae Holidae. It’s definitely an album you will find yourself getting lost in. The songs are somewhere along the lines of chill trap/electronic. The beats are what make me lean towards trap, but it’s not traditional trap – that’s for sure. My favorite track is “Bucket Hat”. The whole album is free on Bandcamp!

Chill, Trap | Gorilla Beats – Trap Hippy

Posted by on October 12, 2013

Over the months that I’ve been in San Francisco I had the pleasure of watching as the EP ‘Trap Hippy‘ developed via San Francisco based producer Gorilla Beats. Taking weeks of maticulously working away in the studio / behind a board, brainstorming music concepts, perfecting a mix but still finding time to kick back and enjoy it all in the process, Gorilla beats has the perfect release of 5 smooth instrumentals taking on a new kind of sound – trap hippy. With the distinct undertones of Drum & Bass trap mixed with the ambient electro sounds that have been on the rise in underground music, the final bounce is somewhere between trap and relaxed (trap hippy). I got my in on a little of the fun collabing with Gorilla Beats on one of his songs ‘Wrap’, featured on the EP . During the sesh, I felt where the music was coming from; the whole time we were just chilling and talking music, enjoying company and getting our night started with some drinks to go around – everyone had good vibes, which is what the ep ‘Trap Hippy’ should bring to you. Two of his songs are featured through his SoundCloud, but if you want the full look, check it out HERE (via BandCamp).


DO SOMETHING

Electronic | [ADJECTIVE] [ANIMAL]

After seeing this particular tweet earlier this week, it’s safe to say I am one confused kitten…

It didn’t take much time to come to terms with the fact that Cashmere Cat’s sound is so distinct that there was no way he couldn’t be the man behind Trippy Turtle. Which then lead me to question the true identity of the similar sounding producers Booty Beaver and D-D-DJ Yolo Bear, as well. The signature mattress squeaks and tambourines, the Drake references and remixes, the alliterated names, the “FoFo FaDis” for crying out loud. It suddenly all made sense…

And you know, while I’m still not entirely sure BenZel’s revealing tweet has been verified, nor this theory of my own, I’m not too worried about it anymore anyways because the Norwegian producer, Magnus August Høiberg (under whichever alias he prefers) (or whoever any of these musically-inclined critters actually are) has dropped some faaaantastic tracks this week. And that’s what we’re all here for anyways, right? I’ve bundled them all up for you here below in alphabetical order for your listening pleasure. And in the mean time, I’ll be brainstorming the perfectly catchy anthropomorphic nickname for my alter-egos. Hit me up if you come up with any good ones, your submissions are much appreciated.

Electro-House | GTA – The Crowd

Posted by on October 10, 2013

GTA - The CrowdGTA return to Calvin Harris’ label Fly Eye Records with a band new single “The Crowd”. They have always been ones to stand out, and we see that again with this track. Much like their “f*ck genres” approach, this track embraces moves from electro to trap and everything in between. I wonder how many people have stumbled across GTA’s music after the launch of GTA 5? Probably quite a few.

The homie EJ sent over Hyper Crush’s latest single “Illegal” a nice little dancefloor banger for the clubs to get the asses shaking, in anticipation for their album release “Vertigo” October 15. Hpyer Crush make electro-house music though they incorporate elements of pop and hip hop, something different. I almost want to say they incorporate elements of trap in this latest release, a good beat to get ignorant to, do illegal shit, and twerk obviously. Suport by copping the pre-sale, and like them on Facebook! Must listen!

Chill, Trap | The Ninetys – The Ninetys EP

Posted by on October 8, 2013

The Ninetys EP was just launched on Cream Collective and it’s got so much variety that it could please many types of listeners! Of course, there are trap songs, but some are emotional, and some are more punchy. My favorite is “Put It On Me” because the vocals are so emotional and flow with the beats in absolute harmony. The EP can be downloaded and streamed at the link below. Sorry, no preview available except on the Cream Collective website. You’ll have to take my word for it! 😉
