Electro, Trap | Lorde – Tennis Court (Flume Remix)
Posted by dshaq on April 23, 2014
It seems so right that Flume would remix Lorde. Something about her voice and his beats just makes sweet sweet love to my ears. The build up, the drop, the vocals, just everything about this song is fire. I don’t think I need to say more except keep hitting repeat.
Electro, RnB | user601586061 – Superfriends.
Posted by VMan on February 17, 2014
“Ohh baby baby, we can be superfriends!” that’s what “Superfriends.” ‘ about by anon singer/producer user6015866061, whom you might notice uses the same logo as the track I posted last week from the mystery submission I featured “Miss Jackson.” Much in the same vibe, this one has a 2014 electro-r&b-trap Rick James feel to it that’s going to have you 1-2 stepping and singing along in a falsetto voice. I almost want to recommend this track if you’re trying to pick up that special somebody, playing this record might boost your confidence and release that inner lady’s man! This is a must listen!
DJ-Set | ASOT 650: Dash Berlin Drops New ID
Posted by BIGLIFE on February 17, 2014
Dash Berlin is the one of the preeminent trance DJ’s in the world. He routinely kills it with his “ASOT” series. He played so many gems over the weekend. In fact, Hardwell even showed up on his night off which signals he may be experimenting with new genres. What was most impressive, however, was the ID Dash played starting at 11:11. I know we know that voice from somewhere but can’t place it. What I do know is that it sounds like it could become one of the biggest trance songs to release in 2014.
Bass | Tinashe – Vulnerable (Jacuzzi Remix)

For those that are still unfamiliar with Jacuzzi, he’s a young budding producer out of Honolulu who’s been gaining momentum faster than a tsunami in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Recently he’s worked with Mr. Carmack, remixed Santigold’s ‘Disparate Youth’ and released an incredible EP of free original tunes. Jacuzzi’s penchant for arranging punchy staccato drum patterns and overlaying them with dark cinematic sounds has helped him create a signature style, garnering nods of approval from industry juggernauts like Bassnectar, Craze, Pretty Lights and more.
With his latest offering Jacuzzi puts his spin on Tinashe’s sultry R&B joint ‘Vulnerable’. The trap-ish drum progression, menacing strings and Japanese sounding woodwinds mingle quite nicely with Tinashe’s smokey voice in this late-night banger. In a world where everyone is waiting for a wild-ass drop, Jacuzzi shows restraint, keeps his cool and challenges you not to bounce along.

Progressive House | The Two Friends ft. Jeff Sontag & I Am Lightyear – Brighter
Posted by Mel on January 27, 2014
The sweet, sultry, delicate voice of Blair, Leighton Meester’s character in Gossip Girl is the closest parallel I can draw to Jeff Sontag’s vocals in his, I am Lightyear and The Two Friends’ “Brighter”. The two vocalists perform a duet under the moonlight as well as over the production by The Two Friends, making it rather unique. It has a similar feel to many of their previous tracks in that it puts the vocals on display with a soft instrumental and then it turns it up for the build and drop, which again features a light, catchy melody (I guess).

Hip-Hop, Rap | Premiere: Christian Deshun – “RIGHT.” (Prod. By Christian Deshun)

The homie Christian Deshun hit me up last night and asked if I wanted to premiere his latest track “Right.” and my response was ABSOLUTELY. As an ambassador to the NWLA movement, Christian landed top honors for 2DopeBoyz’s mixtape of the year in 2013, and he has no plans of slowing down in 2014. With this latest record, you’re going to hear a side of Christian you’ve never heard before: his singing voice, and it’s pleasantly nice. I’ve been keeping tabs with Deshun for about 2 years now, and his sound is always maturing, and growing in dimension. If you’re a hip-hop head, and recognize great hip-hop when you hear it, you’re going to want to press play. Get familiar with Christian Deshun! This is a must listen!
Hip-Hop | YoAstrum – A Day’s Worth
Posted by admin on January 7, 2014
While perusing my SoundCloud stream I recently stumbled upon an emcee I was previously unacquainted with: YoAstrum. The New Jersey resident caught my attention with his unique voice and ability to lace a Mr. Carmack production with such grace. The instrumental was an absolute gem to begin with, so it was safe to say that I was initially nervous to hear whether or not it was done justice. Thankfully, it was, and thus began my thirst for YoAstrum music.
Keep up on Twitter and let me know what you think of the song. Stay tuned for much more in the near future!
