Hip-Hop, Mashups | Timeflies and DJ Rob Resnick
Posted by BIGLIFE on December 1, 2010
Here’s a great “chill” rap track done by the Timeflies. The dope mashups below were done by the producer, Rob Resnick. For more information, check out the blurbs they sent us.
Timeflies are a hip hop duo out of Tufts University. The group consists of Rob Resnick (producer) and Cal on the vocals. They are originally from New Jersey and New York. After building a buzz on their campus the duo started to record and release new songs this fall. Their new track, Lose My Mind, is more upbeat than their past releases All Night, In Your Eyes with Trey Palms, and Fade. The duo plans to put out a few more tracks before the end of the year and then is looking forward to booking shows for 2011. Be sure to check them out on Facebook and Twitter.
I’m not going to lie, these mashups are pretty ill.

Hip-Hop | Swollen Members
Posted by GMONEY on September 8, 2010
Swollen Members is a little-known group who enjoy a huge following in Canada but have never really been able to make the jump to a US audience. This duo consists of rappers Prevail and Mad Child and have been around the rap game for over a decade. Their most recent album, Armed to the Teeth, certainly wasn’t their strongest project to date, but I definitely think that their material is worth a little time with your ears..

Mashups | FNT WELCOMES THE WHITE PANDA
Posted by Juicebox on August 3, 2010
Say hello to our most recently affiliated artist,The White Panda. Based out of Chicago and Los Angeles, this duo has been killing it over the last year with mashups that mesh so well together, you would have thought God himself mixed them. The last two mixtapes they’ve dropped, “Versus” and “Rematch” have been nothing short of perfect. The best part about The White Panda is almost every track you’ve ever thought should be mashed up, they’ve done, and they’ve done it well. Check them out on the affiliated artist page here

Uncategorized | Summer JAMZ
Posted by BIGLIFE on May 13, 2010
With school wrapping up, it’s time for some summer kick off jams. While I can’t truly place the songs below under one category (hence the vague title “Summer Jams”), what I can guarantee is that all of these tracks will leave your heads bobbing and feet tapping.
Due to popular demand, I’ve decided to post yet another Kinetics & One Love track (many more to come). Below is K&1L’s original version of “Airplanes” which the duo sold to Atlantic records. For those of you who are out of the loop, B.o.B’s rendition of the song which we previously posted is currently #5 on the Billboard’s hot 100 chart. I’ve also thrown a brand-spanking-new techno version of “Airplanes” into the mix for our bass-heads.
Must Download: Kinetics & One Love – Airplanes
Download: B.O.B. feat Hayley Williams – Airplanes [Dj Dark Intensity Remix]
Previously: B.O.B ft. Eminem and Hayley Wiliams- Airplanes
Familiarize yourself with this guy because he’s a force to be reckoned with as of late. And since his album ‘Won’t Go Quietly’ is dropping June 20th, I don’t see him losing steam anytime soon.
Must Download: Example – Won’t Go Quietly (Radio Edit)
Previously: Example – Kickstarts (Wideboys Remix) Dope Techno Track
Love the original version, but as usual Fonzerelli takes it to the next level by putting his signature spin on things.
Must Download: Adam Lambert – Whataya Want From Me (Fonzerelli Radio Edit)
Here’s another pop and electro duo that’s starting to attract a large fan base. Good luck keeping the catchy chorus, smooth synths, and enjoyable beat out of your head…

Albums | The Knocks
Posted by BIGLIFE on May 2, 2010
Based out of the Lower East Side of Manhattan, the Knocks are emerging as a force to be reckoned with as far as indie music production is concerned. Consisting of Ben “DJ B-Roc” Ruttner and James “JPatt” Patterson, the Knocks are named in reference to the early days of their production career when they worked out of a home studio as their complaining neighbors pounded on their walls and ceilings. Nowadays, you can find the duo killing it at the Heavy Roc Music studio in Chinatown. They’ve continued to make a name for themselves by finding and developing talent as well as remixing the likes of major artists including Ellie Goulding, Katy Perry, and Flo-rida (all of whom we’ve included below).
This is a highly remixed track, however, few artists can lay claim to the innovative sound that The Knocks produced with this one.
Download: Samuel – Starry Eyed (Ellie Goulding Cover Produced By The Knocks)
The track below is an impressively executed techno-ish remix of Katy Perry’s hit “I Kissed A Girl”.
Download: Katy Perry – I Kissed A Girl (The Knocks Remix)
Here’s their newest production.

And one more for good measure.
