Hip-Hop, RnB, Trap | KR$CHN – Stolen Moments EP
Posted by Mach on June 25, 2013
KR$CHN has been on a roll with releases over the past few weeks, and today I bring you his awesome new EP, “Stolen Moments”. The EP opens with “Kush Calling” which more than so, speaks for itself. KR$CHN takes a cool approach on this track, kicking it of with some dope verses and ending it beat strong. The second track “Headbandz” was posted a few days ago and is by far one of my favorite tracks on the EP. It has a great flow that you cannot help but get addicted to. “Dead People” made me curious, I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect with how it opened with the hook, but it ended up taking my ears by storm. The beat is dirty, but it is the verses that really reflect the mood that KR$CHN must have been trying to put out. Last, but certainly not least, “Cold Moments” is the only R&B track of the EP. The vocals are beautiful, taking you through a long hallway to a silky red bed. The word “sex” best describes this track. KR$CHN blew away my expections with this EP, these are 4 of the most incredible tracks to be compiled on an EP such as this. Keep your eyes peeled for more from this guy, I believe he is just getting started.
Update: KR$CHN has recently increased the number of tracks currently on the EP!

House, Techno | Boys Noize – Go Hard EP
Posted by Spice on June 25, 2013
Is there anyone out there quite like Boys Noize? With his latest EP, the aptly titled Go Hard, the talented Mr. Ridha once again proves that he’s pretty much in a league of his own. His high octane brand of acid house is present in each of the five new tracks debuted yesterday (with the possible exception of “Starwin,” which is replete with acidy squelches but ultimately a buoyant disco confection), but the more remarkable feat is the level of versatility he displays. The EP veers from ominous and consummately analogue (“Inhale/Exhale”) to techno meets trap with notes of hardstyle (the titular “Go Hard”) to the aforementioned “Starwin,” which sounds like something Madeon might make after watching the full Discovery video and then sucking down a bunch of nitrous. “Excuse Me” (escoooooz me) and “Push Em Up” are both hard-nosed dance floor jams that are impossible not to move to. Go Hard is well worth the cost of an iTunes download — in the grand Boys Noize tradition, it manages to be dark, fun, energetic and fresh all at once.

Electronic | What So Not – High You Are [Preview]
Posted by Spice on June 20, 2013
Does it get more buzzy than Flume right now? Seriously. Just when you thought you couldn’t get more of the guy, you find out his brand new side project (with fellow Australian producer Emoh — there must be something in the water down undah, I tell ya) is set to drop its debut EP next week. What’s more, the first track previewed is — yet again — par excellence. With wistful, airy vocals, a super catchy hook, funky, off-kilter leads and a varied bassline, Flume (and What So Not) prove — yet again — that they’re some of the most inventive and exciting kids in the game right now. Look for The Quack EP to drop on June 25th via OWSLA.
Progressive House | Stars Above – Soar
Posted by Mach on June 17, 2013
After an extremely successful EP that topped the charts on Soundcloud and HypeM, Stars Above rolls out another House gem. “Soar” is an extraordinary uplifting original that takes you to the edge of the Earth and beyond. Stars Above makes sure to take his time, making his lift-off intro a superb countdown to flight time. The drop is nothing short of incredible, sending chills through my spine and proper dance vibes to my feet. Stars Above is just getting started, he currently has a Kickstarter to help in the funding of his dream to produce a full length album he likes to call, “Black Diamonds”. Keep an eye out for more great productions from him in the future.

Dubstep | Dope Arcade – Ascension (MitiS Remix)
Posted by Mach on June 16, 2013
MitiS is and has been unbelievably incredible. He owns House and destroys Dubstep, melodic and heavy. This melodic Drumstep tune rocked my world. MitiS is preparing for the release of his upcoming EP, “Open Window”, and it is truly a treat to receive a remix such as this before the release. The melody is incredible, MitiS never disappoints his fans. His “Open Window” EP drops June 18th.

Dubstep, Review | Roughmath – Buzzkill Remixes EP (Ft. Archie Cane, Jarvis, Koven, & Skit)
Posted by Mach on June 10, 2013
I have been a huge fan of Roughmath ever since his days as Noir, but today I bring you an awesome conglomerate of remixes of Roughmath’s last EP, “Buzzkill”. Kicking off this remix EP is Archie Cane. I wish he would release more tunes because his style is rarely seen. The into has a bit of a Garage feel to it, but the drop is filthy per usual. My first listen to Jarvis’ remix left me on the fence, it may have been where I decided I would start listening to it. After my second listen with better placement, the track finally came together in my ears. Jarvis’ defined epic for me.
Koven on the other hand catches your attention no matter where you click play. He is still one of the dirtiest up and coming bass producers out there. His drops are full of some the heaviest progressions you will find and Maksim taking point on the vocal turned out to be a match made in Heaven. Last but certainly not least is a remix from our friend Skit. Lately Skit has been pushing out some beautiful Hip-Hop and R&B infused bass tracks that have been revolutionizing how I view each genre. His remix of “Cold” however takes us back through his skills as a Dubstep producer, to say the least it is quite impressive. Roughmath assembled one of the best Remix EPs I have heard in Dubstep in a while. Maybe this will set an example for others to come.
