Double Vision unveils their final piece of the music marathon. This time they go for more of a pop sound with the tracks, even sampling Van Halen and Gotye. These guys have done some great work in such a short amount of time so make sure not to just check this EP out but also their other one’s. Make sure to hit them up on Facebook and Twitter below.
Progressive House | DVBBS ft. Hayley Gene – DRVGS (Brilliant Remix)
Posted by Middy on April 14, 2012
The Swedish house duo Brilliant has taken this track from Canadian group DVBBS and made it a progressive gem with the help of the seductive vocals from Hayley Gene. With pulsing progressive leads, moving vocals and a powerful, driving drop of low-end synths and bass and snare, this is a free remix you will not want to pass up on.
Also above is the B-side from their recent 2 song EP that I think is the better of the two tracks and really shows the potential with these two Swedes.

It’s always gratifying finding a diamond in the ruff after searching aimlessly through Twitter, Facebook, and emails for hours, in search of music that is completely new to my ears. Josh Osho is the diamond. A 20-year old London born singer/songwriter plotting the release of his debut EP due out May 14th. Breaking out with his first single featuring Mr. Glover as Childish Gambino, Osho’s bold vocals meet the hard bars of Bino for a perfect balance of pop, alternative, and hip-hop. Facebook || Twitter
Drum & Bass | DnB Fridays

Noisia’s video of there track Could This Be is an interesting video that caught my attention this week when they released it. The video goes along with the track well and had me starring at it and replaying it a few times. Seven Lion’s is known for there beautiful melodic dubstep originals and remixes, but Smooth remixed this amazing track to perfection. This DnB remix off of Seven Lions upcoming EP by Smooth takes the melodic orignal and adds those heavy kicks and drums we all love to hear, while keeping the amazing melody and vocals intact.

You know what to do.
Electro-House, Moombahton | Alvin Risk – Infinity (Preview) & Dirty Dancer Remix
Posted by Mach on April 12, 2012
Protege to Skrillex, Alvin Risk is a force to reckon with. One of my favorite things about him is that he doesn’t just stick to one genre of music, he dabbles in Moombahton, Dubstep, and Electro-House. His title track ‘Infinity’ is a dark, but awesome dance tune. The build up is intense and shocks you once that dance forever drop goes down. I am sure we will get to see a few sides of him on his upcoming EP, ‘Infinity,’ which drops April 24th on Dim Mak Records.
Now it is time to delete all of those awful rips of Alvin Risk’s ‘Dirty Dancer’ remix that all of you have. He seemed to have just enabled the downloads for the tracks 320kbps on his soundcloud (that means it’s studio quality). This track is awesome, Moombahton at its finest and then some. Enjoy.
Hip-Hop, Videos | Hoodie Allen – No Faith In Brooklyn (ft. Jhameel)
Posted by dshaq on April 10, 2012
In lieu of Hoodie hitting top 10 in both of the hip-hop and iTunes albums, he dropped off the visuals to the other standout track on All American. Hoodie is one of the most deserving guys so go buy his EP and support not only him but also good music! Check the visuals and grab the EP!
Albums, Hip-Hop | Hoodie Allen – All American (EP)
Posted by dshaq on April 9, 2012
How can one not root for Hoodie Allen? The man graduated from UPENN, worked for google, and yet he decided to drop his seemingly set lifestyle to pursue his dream of making music. This is the first we’ve heard of Hoodie since his awesome mixtape from last year, Leap Year, and it goes above and beyond anything I thought. What makes Hoodie so appealing as an artist is not only his catchy beats and choruses, it’s his wordplay. To me, he is up there with Danny Brown and Das Racist(KOOL A.D. & HEEMS) as one the wittiest rappers out right now. It seems as if the mans brain is just one big encyclopedia of pop culture references. His style is so carefree and fun and it just makes us crave more and more of this New Yorker. Since Hoodie is truly the nicest guy in the bidness today(my opinion), he is taking time out of his day to personally call each person who buys the EP to thank them for their contribution and support, if you don’t believe me check this out. So if you want to talk to Hoodie or just support good music and a guy who deserves some respect and acknowledgment, I HIGHLY SUGGEST YOU BUY THIS. Hoodie congrats!
