Rap | “Who Am I” See’s an Introspective New Tune via JJ Doze
Posted by VMan on September 26, 2021
New York based rapper JJ Doze is clearly stating he means business in latest deep cut, “Who Am I”. The energetic number with a hard-hitting message is expressive and speaks upon themes the world needs to hear. This one is well worth the listen and was a great introduction to the rising emcee. Check out a thorough quote on the release below and watch the visual above now!
“In the song ‘Who Am I’, I talk about my ability to fail on knowing my purpose as I try to find the answers I’m seeking for. However, that would be the problem. As I fail to realize that there aren’t any answers, I kept ignoring the fact that there are choices. A choice to be patient with myself. A choice to understand myself. A choice to accept myself. But, that was difficult to do as I kept trying to help everyone around me that I completely forgot about myself. So, whenever I would feel frustrated, angry, drained, &/or other feelings, I wouldn’t necessarily know what to do… so that’s when I try to brush it off, which diminishes my path to understand myself, & to know who I am & how I react to certain things during a certain situation. In the song, I bring up other situations that also block that path I deeply want to find. This song means a lot to me. It’s a song that can get you feeling hyped (mainly from the chorus) while also leaving you thinking deeply if you listen closely to the lyrics. It surely expresses my vulnerability, & that is exciting to me but also nerve-wracking”

Jay Blanes is creating Funky electronic infused indie Pop that is worth checking out. His new feel-good track “I’m Crazy” is his first release of 2021 and it’s a strong one!

“I’m Crazy is a statement, a scream to the world, to let everybody know I don’t care what they think about my choices.

I believe it will especially resonate with everyone who’s far away from their hometown, fighting hard to fulfil their passions.” – Jay Blanes
Techno | Justin Jay Delivers A Stunning Edit of Barnt’s “Chappell” Ahead of the New Year
Posted by Tay on December 21, 2015
Los Angeles-based producer, Justin Jay, releases his edit of Barnt’s “Chappell” as a gift to us to close out the year. For this release, Justin brings on Henry Was for drumming duties to add to Benny Bridges on guitar. The crew puts their own touch on “Chappell,” with live instruments, driving percussive additions, and subtle production tweaks, and the result exceeds expectations with its overall livening of the techno track. Justin Jay has been changing the game with his innovative stylistic choices, and he’s expected to continue in 2016.
“With Benny Bridges on guitar, I saw this techno anthem by Barnt as a way to start messing around with Henry’s crazy drum sounds. We had so much fun making it and even more fun playing it live. With it being the holiday season, we wanted to give it to you guys (especially DJ’s who need an extra jam for those holiday sets).” – Justin Jay

The Chicago duo Intermodal is back with a fresh and funky remix of a southern hip hop classic. If you are hip hop or an electronic music fan, odds are you can vibe to this track. It is deep, rigid, and simply grimy at the same time. Intermodal has put together an interesting start to their career through some of these remix choices, I am a fan. I can’t see what these deep house heads have in store for us next. Make sure to grab this booty tech remix of Mike Jones’ Still Tippin. Look who’s creepin, look whos crawlin big ballin in the mix.

Moombahton | Making Movies – Lo Que Quiero (Secret Sauce Remix)
Posted by Nick on January 18, 2014
Don’t get me wrong – I’ve been digging a lot of the more popular genre choices by artists today. With that in mind though, there are a lot of styles I really wish would make a comeback – especially Moombahton. Hot out of the studio with a remix of Making Movies’ “Lo Que Quiero,” the homies over at Secret Sauce have begun their own quest in raising the Dave Nada-inspired sound from the dead; and they seem to have done a pretty damn good job, knocking out a chilled track with clean reggaeton vibes. Shout out to our friends at Do Androids Dance for snagging the exclusive on this one – looks like we missed out.

It is my honor to introduce Tray Jack and his latest release “Full Blast” to you all. Tray hit me up yesterday with his SoundCloud via my email, and I dig his sound heavy, and you should to. From the production choices, to his flow and lyricism, Tray Jack has it all, and his song “Full Blast” is a catchy mainstream hip-hop record that incorporates the acoustic guitar and some electro vibes. I really hope with this post, Tray’s talents are recognized and his sound makes its rounds in the blogosphere, because he deserves it. This is a must listen and a must download!
