Alternative, Electronic | Flume & Chet Faker – Drop the Game
Posted by yabishcic on November 19, 2013
You may know Chet Faker from their most notable singles “I’m Into You” and “No Diggity” and Flume from his crazy productions known all over the internet, but together they make an amazing music team. “Drop the Game” is their lead track off their upcoming collaborative EP ‘Lockjaw’, and it makes the wait all more worth it. Dropping some intense, high quality visuals for the track was definitely the way to go, making the November 26th EP release hyped up as ever. The stream is up on Future Classic, Flume’s record label, and will be available on iTunes starting Nov. 26 along with the rest of the EP.
Hip-Hop, Rap | Waldo – Kobe’s Room (Truth Be Told)
Posted by yabishcic on October 22, 2013
Produced by Sango himself, this was bound to be a fresh new track. I’ve been keeping up with Waldo ever since I discovered him back before the new year – his popularity is steadily increasing, which I’m happy to see, but I’m even happier about the collab EP that Waldo & Sango just recently dropped, NSDE/OUTSDE. The project is dense with a flow and unrelenting heat that compliments Waldo’s delivery and establishes him as a force to be reckoned with. From the commandeering of his midwest flow to the confidence of his staccato, “he presents the production with intense imagery and a spirit of adventurousness that perfects the latest trend of experimentalism on the rise in hip-hop as Michigan continues its quiet reign” (Okayplayer.com). NSDE/OUTSDE features appearances from JOOSE and The SEVENth while Marvel Alexander and Mr. Carmack provide the assist on production. ‘Kobe’s Room’ is featured 4th on the NSDE, but with both sides having equally all good tracks, this is definitely something that you guys will want to check out, ya know what I’m sayin? :p
Progressive House | Elephante – Pretty Lights (ft. Rohan Kymal)
Posted by admin on October 3, 2013
Today, I introduce you to Elephante. Hailing from sunny California, Elephate is an EDM producer, specializing in a big room sound. His latest dance floor hit, “Pretty Lights” comes complete with a stomach-thumping bass-line and jabbing synths. The deep vocals from Rohan Kymal really round off the track and make for a fantastic piece of art. Enjoy, “Pretty Lights” and hold on tight for the intense buildups and breakdowns that are sure to have you on the edge of your seat.

Dubstep | Au5 – Metronic (Fractal Remix)
Posted by BP on August 13, 2013
Fractal’s remix of Au5’s single Metronic, released to Atom Recordings on August 19th, is intense, technical, and full of the dark sounds one looks for in some heavy dubstep. Fractal’s take on the song is a little more bouncy than the original, and mixes a few other flavors in besides hard hitting dubstep. It’s easy to tell that a lot of effort and attention to detail was put into this remix. You can listen to the stream here until it’s released!
I couldn’t help but also post Au5’s original track as well. It’s absolutely sinister in the best way possible. Enjoy!
Trance | Paul Oakenfold – Turn It On
Posted by Spice on July 1, 2013
This track is not for the faint of heart. Dark and intense, with a relentless acid low end and a fast-paced Goa vibe, “Turn It On” somehow manages to be both futuristic and retro. Not shocking, given that Paul Oakenfold is an undisputed master of the trade, but it’s refreshing to get a track like this in the midst of all the bland, formulaic electro house that is being passed off as trance these days.

House | BOY – Skin (Dinnerdate ‘Campfire’ Edit)
Posted by Middy on June 14, 2013
Simon Shout announced a few months back that he was working on a side project that was something special, something different and we saw a few weeks ago the fruition of that hard work, Dinner Date. It is the deeper, less intense side of his sound that vibes with a lot of what we are seeing in the sort of counter-edm movement that has brought deep house into vogue and guys like Disclosure, Flume and Cashmere Cat so popular. In his second remix, he keeps the indie vibe of the original, with its playful guitar licks, while adding his own easy, deep, rolling bass line that does not overwhelm, but helps guide the track to its thoughtful conclusion. Also included is his previous remix. Be on the lookout for more Dinner Date, and put this on late night and let the soothing sounds carry you into a peaceful place.
