Electronic, Trap | What So Not – Touched

Posted by on November 7, 2013

What So Not

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.

Hip-Hop | B-Doe – This Is Hip Hop

The lyrics on this beat is what makes the whole thing. Of course, the beat is also smooth and raw all at the same time with that east coasty vibe to it. Really digging this atm.

Electronic | LIZ – U Over Them (Peking Duk & CRNKN Remix)

Posted by on October 26, 2013

Currently v obsessed with Mad Decent’s own LIZ. This remix is of her track “U Over Them” by Peking Duk and CRNKN (that’s pronounced “crankin'”) is just a really great jam. Short and sweet today – this is kind of a mix of a whole buncha different styles but it’s got an overall great vibe so indulge and enjoy.

Posted by on October 25, 2013

You’re going to have to excuse me because once again, here is a Slumberjack post. They are cranking out amazing tunes at a crazy fast pace. The talent in these Australian boys is evident. This remix of “Paper Dreams” by The Lazy Calm is a mid-pace trap song that still has a laid back vibe. Expect to hear some speaker shaking bass and some eerie vocal chops that make the song stick in your head all day long. Be sure to grab this one for free!

The duo that makes up Academy is back with another chill laid back record called “Catch My Vibe.” Though in my opinion not as catchy as their latest release “Fine By Me”  , they stay true to their vibe with a groovy guitar line, and a reggae flow on the vocals that could be compared to Sublime. This is track 2 from the guys, and I’m still impressed, keep it up! This is a must listen, and a must download!

I’ve been listening to  “Fine By Me” by the Academy for a few days, and the truth is it’s a great record. It has a reggae flavor and a dose of retro-funk, I’m feeling it. In my opinion, this hook is a hit, so damn catchy, just a cool vibe. The band is a duo Evan and Eli from Rhode Island whom are currently residing in Los Angeles, and Boston. Hopefully they put out some new tracks some time soon, it’s a great sound! Must listen and must download!

Electronic | R. Kelly – Genius (ill-esha remix)

Posted by on October 2, 2013

Ill-esha’s remix of R. Kelly’s new song “Genius” is fresh and different. The R&B theme was kept throughout this groovy new take on  the track released in September. The vocal chops are outstanding, as is the sultry vibe of the whole song. If I could put this under a “love jam” category, I would. Grab the free download if you’re feelin’ it.
