Pop, Videos | Jon Bellion – One More Time [Video]

“One More Time” marks the second visual release from Jon off his sophomore project due out later this fall.  With electronic elements built into the production, Bellion tells his lustful story of coitus with this beautiful young lady.  The scandalous tale might bring life to Bloodhoung Gang’s most notable line, “Do it like they do on the discovery channel”, but don’t overlook the artistic elements stitched into this song — incredible.  From the production to the visual work to the clever lines such as “screw your pops let’s get some iHop”, Jon really brought this scandalous story to life.

Stay tuned for another behind the scenes look into the creation of this track, as Jon plans to share another video similar to the one he just release for “Ungrateful Eyes”.

Progressive House | Don Diablo & Matt Nash – Starlight (Could You Be Mine) [Otto Knows Remix]

Posted by on September 30, 2013

Don Diablo & Matt Nash - Starlight (Could You Be Mine) [Otto Knows Remix]Otto Knows rarely releases a song, but when he does it is dynamite. He revamps the clubby original with melodic synth work and chopped vocals that we have seen him use so well. This is vintage Knows, as he continues to show that it is all about quality over quantity.

Chill, Hip-Hop | Jhene Aiko – Bed Peace (ft. Childish Gambino)

jhene aiko bed peace

“Bed Peace” has been out for nearly two weeks now, but I’ll justify my lack of an earlier post with the fact that I haven’t stopped listening to this song in those two weeks. Jhene Aiko has become somewhat of a staple in hiphop over the past couple of months, hopping on hooks left and right with some of the biggest names in the game.

In this compilation, Aiko lays down two beautiful verses and a softly crooned chorus, all accompanied by a well rounded Childish Gambino verse. “Bed Peace” is your perfect wake-up-Monday-morning-and-try-to-not-hate-the-world song, so listen below and kick off your work week the right way.

Electronic, Mix | OWSLA After Dark Pt.III: The M Machine – Space Jams

Posted by on September 24, 2013

I have to start by saying that I am still reeling from the Phonat mix; I still sit with mouth agape while listening to it. I am so thankful that there are labels like OWSLA – awesome music is served out on silver platters, and artists that really deserve attention are given just that. I am even more thankful for the artists – like The M Machine and Phonat – that continue to strive to be better and to be different. Robin Thicke could write a song about what these musicians do to genre definitions. With every original, every remix and every mix, The M Machine is changing the way that people think about music. These guys bring ideas to life that are nothing short of brilliant. It truly is amazing that a group of individuals can interweave their respective imaginations into such complete works of art. Their latest work is an hour long mix that aired during the OWSLA time slot on BBC Radio 1Xtra, and in classic M Machine fashion, it exceeds expectations. Forget what you know about genres and rules, and just accept this for the greatness that it is.

Y//2//K has been killin’ it lately. Now he’s dropped a remix of “Still” by Daughter that is packed with emotion and calming beats. The subdued vocals work well with Y//2//K’s chill trap beats and an interesting medley of instruments and pitches. It’s extremely clean and really a pleasure for the ears. You can grab this one for free!

Electro, Trap | Krewella – Live For The Night (Sean Kongery & Klavay Remix)

Since it’s been a while since I’ve heard any attention-grabbing trap remixes, I figured Sean Kongery and Klavay’s would be a nice little re-introduction. The producer duo teamed up to tackle Krewella’s esteemed “Live For The Night”, a single off of their forthcoming album Get Wet. Sean and Klavay added some pretty massive drops jam packed with alien-sounding synths and chopped vocals.

The original is without a doubt difficult to remix because of it’s intricacy and distinct sound, however, the pair made it work and put a nice new spin on it.
