Hip-Hop, Videos | Lil B “The Based God” Lectures @ NYU
Posted by A on April 12, 2012
The Based God has done it again. On Wednesday night, The Based God visited NYU as a guest speaker at the request of the university’s president John Sexton. Speaking before a packed house, the Based God touched on such rare topics as studying ant farms, being on the same wavelength, and doing yourself on one hundred thousand percent. Pacing the floor with mic in hand, Lil B had the crowd hanging on his every word, fans constantly chiming in to add words of encouragement. Lil B’s speaking engagement was truly historic. For all those who missed the speech, hit “read more” to watch the videos below!
Electro-House | Oliver Twizt and Sandro Silva – Gladiator
Posted by Spice on April 5, 2012
Oh. Hell. Yes. I’ve been counting down the days until this release and now it’s finally upon us. What is “Gladiator,” you ask? Basically it’s what happens when Oliver Twizt and Sandro Silva light the fuse on about 400 tons of straight up dancefloor C4 (Cfloor?) and then watch as the whole thing explodes. For the record, I’m not exaggerating — I haven’t been able to get this hook out of my head for weeks. Yes, you’re going to have to cruise over to Beatport for the DL. No, I don’t want to hear you complaining. Because at the end of the day, when you’re over at your friend’s place and your iPod’s plugged in and 11:07 pm rolls around and now people are looking to you to take the gathering to the next level, you’re going to want to be able to reach for this one.
Progressive House, Trance | Cosmic Gate Remixes
Posted by Middy on March 23, 2012
First up is Cosmic Gate’s massive remix of Emma Hewitt’s single “Colours”. The single was already given remix treatment by the legend Armin van Buuren, the German trance duo gives it a go with this incredible uplifting, energetic remix, utilizing Emma Hewitt’s stunning vocals to perfection as only they would know coming off of their smash single “Be Your Sound” together.

Somewhat lost in the fact in the release of Cosmic Gate’s remix of “Colours” was the fact that they also released their remix of “Wild & Perfect Day”. They make this track a little more trancey, taking out much of the uplifting synth and piano melody and replacing with a harder trance melody that works just as well. The catchy vocals remain and the bass line becomes a bit more developed.

After jump I included another Cegor remix, which is a great smooth progressive track with a quality piano lead and an uplifiting synth melody.
Hip-Hop | Danny Brown vs. Nardwuar (Interview)
Posted by dshaq on March 22, 2012
Danny Brown’s originality and uniqueness get me every time. Danny has been killing it lately though, with countless features in notable magazines, getting interviewed on Carson Daly and by who else than Nardwuar, and playing SXSW. Danny gives us a brand new song with some raw emotion throughout it. Then on the other hand goes and does one phenomenally hysterical interview with the one and only Nardwuar. Scoop the track and watch the interview. Look for more Danny to come.
Hip-Hop | Ryan Leslie ft. Fabolous- Beautiful Lie (Remix)
Posted by A on March 17, 2012
The big homey, Ryan Leslie, is back at it again. This time, he’s recruited Fabolous to add a verse to his first single, “Beautiful Lie” off his forthcoming “Les Is More” album dropping this summer. Uncharacteristically, Ryan recently opted to shed his previous Harvard pedigree for a more impetuous one, throwing caution to the wind with his new persona despite speaking to disadvantaged chillens’ in Harlem above.
In his newest “Swiss Francs”, which he premiered in the clip above, he raps with Ryan-Leslie-esque brovado: “My passport is stamped out, I need some pages. When I die they gon’ act out my life on movie stages. Got a hired gun motto is protect the chief, keep these haters from schemin’ on this patek philippe.” Hopefully, he won’t be needing to use his newly acquired fire power anytime soon. “Les Is More” is coming soon.
