Electronic | Madeon – Cut The Kid
Posted by Mel on February 25, 2014
Everybody is aware of Madeon and his wonderful abilities as a producer. He doesn’t release tracks often but when he does they are always outstanding. In an effort to tide his fans over, he is releasing a song he made a few years ago for free. “Cut The Kid” upholds the high quality that we are use to seeing from the young Frenchman and has the same unique sound his productions always do.

Electro, Hip-Hop, Trap | Cashmere Cat – Rice Rain (Twinztrack Remix)
Posted by yabishcic on February 15, 2014
This rework of Cashmere Cat‘s “Rice Rain” is fun and catches your attention right off the bat. Personally, I love the use of the rain drop sample… so perfectly constructed. Twinztrack is definitely on my radar now.
Freestyle, Pop, Videos | Timeflies Tuesday – All You Need Is Love

Necco Sweethearts may be the most disappointing candy of all time. Terrible texture, flavor that makes you question what combination of poison you’re eating, and a feeling like these candies were mass produced in 1938. Much like Sweet Tarts did, Cal and Rez came through and injected some life into these faintly beating hearts (sweet and sour hearts all day). So, whether you’re single, taken, or in your own mind – both, enjoy this Valentines Day appetizer.

Progressive House | Sander van Doorn – Right Here Right Now (Neon)
Posted by Middy on February 11, 2014
The vocal mix of his tune stunning tune from last year “Neon”, Sander van Doorn releases “Right Here Right Now”. It can be dicey to do vocal mixes of well established instrumentals and we have seen this happen to mixed success in the past couple years with the vocal mixes of “Spaceman” and “Tsunami” (you had no idea they did one) decided failures and the vocal mix of “I Could Be The One” working out quite well. This should turn out to be one of those successes, reviving the tune and giving it the potential for more commercial appeal without sacrificing the integrity of the tune. This song has become quite the hit that even one of the top soccer (football) clubs in the Netherlands PSV Eindhoven has decided to use it as its anthem.
Glitch | CloZee – Gotta Get Some Sleep
Posted by BP on January 6, 2014
I can’t remember if I’ve ever posted a glitch track, but what better day than my birthday to try something new? I couldn’t be happier I found it today since, as some of you know, Chicago is dangerously cold right now and we could use a distraction. “Gotta Get Some Sleep” by CloZee is fun, bouncy, and has a great mood to it. The horns and bass are funky and fresh. I’ve been following CloZee for a few years now, and she always impresses me. The slow section around 3:10 is a cool surprise so look out for that! This song is free on Bandcamp along with a lot of other sweet songs on the “Whompadelic Trip” album.
