Hip-Hop | Joey Bada$$ – Summer Knights (Mixtape)
Posted by dshaq on July 2, 2013
The sophomore mixtape from New York’s Joey Badass has finally arrived. To be personally honest the tape didn’t really do it for me. I enjoy the 90s sound that Joey has but with this tape, it didn’t bring that 1999 vibe that made Joey so big. Most of the songs off Summer Knights follow a more bassline heavy type that embrace his raps. Don’t get me wrong, I could listen to Joey’s raps for days but with a follow up mixtape, but I would have liked to see more diversity amongst the songs. All and all it definitely is still a must listen and download. I’m very interested to see where Joey goes from here, especially with who he signs with. Get familiar with Mr. Bada$$, because I he’s definitely one of the new faces of hip hop.
Electronic | Rustie – Slasherr (Flume Edit)
Posted by Spice on June 10, 2013
Tasty little free tidbit from Flume, a man to keep an eye on in the remaining weeks and months of 2013. This edit of Rustie’s “Slasherr” hits exactly the right chord — it takes all the fizz and energy of the original and gives it a funky, chilled out vibe. Somehow, the final product manages to seem even fresher and more innovative than its progenitor.
House | The S.O.S Band – Take Your Time (Do It Right) (Solidisco Remix)
Posted by Mach on May 31, 2013
This is track of the night, if this doesn’t get you amped up for the weekend then I have failed, but I feel lucky with this. Solidisco did an exceptional job on this remix, I cannot get myself to stop grooving to this. The drop is the perfect vibe. If you aren’t playing this now, you are seriously missing out.

House | Ginuwine – Pony (Viceroy “Jet Life” Remix)
Posted by Middy on May 31, 2013
We have long followed Viceroy’s progress from a mashup creator to a budding producer on the cusp of real success, making jams that resonate with the sound of summer. With the calendar fast approaching that bountiful and hot season, you will need to exchange those dark, brooding house tracks for cheery, groovy, bright tracks that are perfect for the sunshine, outdoors and pools. The summertime, all the time mentality that Austen Afridi, aka Viceroy brings with his tunes is just what you need to fill in the gaps for your summer playlists. Keeping the island vibe that we have heard in the previous five “Jet Life” remixes, Viceroy adds his smooth bassline and synth chords to the 90s classic from Ginuwine. Also for everyone in New York, he will be at Webster Hall the 14th with remix phenom RAC and Solidisco, a night of funk and disco you don’t want to miss. Grab your tickets here.

The wave of Daft Punk remixes is about to start flowing through, but only the best will survive! Computer Club provides us with the first uplifting DnB remix to ‘Doin It Right’.

Hip-Hop, Indie | Yachttweiler – Sure Spirit
Posted by W8 on May 27, 2013
”Today Is A Good Day”, says the young Yachttweiler as I gander through his profile in search of knowledge to fill this empty space with. Californian, I see. That ensures a summer melody, and ”Sure Spirit” lives up to that with an infectious one that hits home. Grab your sheesha, and or medicinal herbs. Light up and relax.

Dubstep | Shrine – Kursk (Emperor Remix)
Posted by Sev on May 26, 2013
Emperor has really been producing some outstanding tunes lately. After having released one of the better DnB tracks in the past few months entitled ‘She Said’, which has been getting great feedback, he pulls through with this neuro-styled dubstep remix. The sounds he uses in this drop aren’t really what you hear many artist use, which is what attracted me to it right away. I know you guys probably hear that a lot, but this is probably when I truthfully mean it. This track has an eerie, aggressive, and dark vibe to it that just keeps me replaying it.
