Hip-Hop, Videos | Doley Bernays Ft. Denzil Porter – Raise Your Weapon

Posted by on April 17, 2013

I am getting tired of frat rap. It’s not that I don’t respect what all the frat rappers are doing but it is the guys and gals that spit verses that reflect the hard knocks of life that really speak to me. It shouldn’t matter if you come from the hood or the laxed suburbs, life isn’t easy for most of us. MTV happened to premiere this video a few days ago and I can see why. Life is about the fight, Doley Bernays and Denzil Porter speak that truth. With all this Will.I.Am drama going around, I hope that Deadmau5 can see that his samples used on this track are no insult but rather a compliment to his incredible original production. “Raise your Weapon” is off of Doley Bernays’ latest mixtape “Wrong Turn Into Yesterday.”

Dubstep, Electro-House, Mix | Going Quantum: SPACE LACES Guest Mix

Posted by on March 16, 2013

I’m usually not a fan of listening to long mixes, but whenever you’re dealing with an artist who has no original releases under his name and is so exclusive, but somehow manages to have one of the craziest fan followings it’s hard to not post it. SPACE LACES is probably one of the biggest up and coming artist in the EDM scene, whether you knew about him a while ago, or are just learning about him this is just the beginning. This artist creates everything from nu-disco, to glitch, to dirty electro, all the way to the heaviest dubstep tracks you have ever imagined. People who follow him get up everyday just hoping for a release from this one of a kind artist.  I would recommend everyone check him out because it is only a matter of time before his name is everywhere in the EDM world.

Dubstep | Drake – Started From The Bottom (Feature Cuts Remix) [Music Video]

Posted by on February 13, 2013

Ever since Drake released “Started From The Bottom” a little over a week ago, it was only a matter of time before it was remixed and remixed it has. You’ve heard the many renditions from rappers all over the globe but you haven’t heard anything like Feature Cuts’ remix of the track. He takes the memorable chorus and turns it into Drumstep call for celebration. I guarantee you will have this one on repeat, so download it for free below.

“It’s been a little over a year now, and what a crazy trip this has been thus far. Sometimes I am overwhelmed with the reality that I live. However, at the end of the day I just take some time to remember what it was like when I first started. I truly hope that everyone who pursues their dreams may achieve them. Struggles make the reward sweeter. There’s still a ways to go, and I can’t wait to see what’s next.” – Feature Cuts

Progressive House | Leventina & Dinka – Elements (2013 Reload)

Posted by on February 12, 2013

Swiss producers Leventina & Dinka go back in the vault and dig up Dinka’s single “Elements” from her 2009 “Elements EP” and give it a makeover that makes it work in 2013. They make sure to keep the same smooth, progressive sound from the original with its outstanding arps and deft key play, but it is clear that Leventina was the one primarily orchestrating the 2013 update as you can hear their electro growls and punchy bass lines pervade throughout, while Dinka did some tinkering with the melody. Leventina continue to impress with every release and while fellow Helvetic Nerds comrades EDX & Dinka enjoy the brunt of the Swiss producer spotlight, it is only a matter of time before they get their fair share of it as well.

Chill, Hip-Hop, Rap, RnB | DyMe-A-DuZin – Memories (Prod. By Harry Fraud)

Posted by on January 8, 2013

Honestly, I’m not quite sure about the story on this track, or Dyme-A-Duzin for that matter. After a quick research trek consisting of a 20 second visit to his Twitter bio, I learned he is a Warner Bros artist and also a frontman for the very talented Phony Ppl. What I also know is that he is able to have the honor of rapping over a Harry Fraud beat, which in our present age, is a hot commodity. This beat is absolutely incredible, which is what I’ve come to expect from La Musica De Harry Fraud. Download the track and lookout for his mixtape, A Portrait of Donnovan, which is being released on January 16th.

Electro-House | Keane – Sovereign Light Café (Afrojack Remix)

Posted by on December 24, 2012

With Alesso remixing Keane’s very successful single “Silenced By The Night” to rave reviews, it was only a matter of time before another big name producer got their hands on a Keane track and made it their own. Afrojack slowly builds with a slow easy piano and the outstanding vocals from lead singer Tom Chaplin and then adds a blistering drop of pitched synths and a fast moving bass line. On the heals of his chart topping single “Annie’s Theme” and his upcoming remix for one billion youtube views “Gangnam Style”, as well as hosting a huge Jacked event on Pier 94 to ring in the New Year, Afrojack is continuing to assert his worldwide dominance on dance music.

Chill, Hip-Hop, Rap | Jetpack Jones – Know Now ft. Chief (Prod. By Incise)

Posted by on December 1, 2012

Jetpack Jones is back with a new…sort of…track. “Know Now” was originally recorded under Jetpack’s previous pseudonym, VenoM. I like his new name, and movement, for that matter, much better. This song was one of the first songs that really convinced me the Lakewood native had talent. I’m sure many of you haven’t heard this song, so I’m happy to introduce it to you. I first saw “Know Now” when it was featured on one of my favorite blogs, The Kollection, over a year ago. About 4 months after that, I became a writer for The Kollection, and the rest is history. I hope you’ve enjoyed the brief glimpse into Joseph Salzer’s blogstar past, but that’s not the point of this post. Grab the track for free below and follow the Jetpack Movement captain on twitter here.
