Chill, Electronic | falls – to see #u
Posted by BP on June 22, 2014
Today I’d like to introduce Laurie Stanley, aka Falls, from the UK. After stumbling upon his Soundcloud page I found a couple of gems that needed to be shared. I would describe the sound as very mellow. Chill, ambient, simple, and beautiful are all words that could describe these few tracks. My personal favorite is the new track “to see #u” released yesterday. To help everyone get acquainted with the humble Falls, check out this very brief interview we had and download the tracks straight from Soundcloud. Looking forward to more!
BP: Tell me about yourself?
Falls: I’m laurie. All i really do is sit on the internet in my room and listen to music. I live in the southwest of the uk.
BP: What are your influences?
Falls: Mostly my friends and their music. I listen to a lot of other stuff, but I like to make music that fits in with the people I like personally. My dripfest buds [are] Kid Hnrk, Drew the Architect, Drip-133, and Misogi.
BP: Goals?
Falls: Probably just to make more music than I am at the moment, and to meet more cool people.
Right on Falls. Take a listen below!
Hip-Hop, Rap | Black Zheep DZ – Mr. Slick
Posted by admin on June 20, 2014
Today I wanted to present to you the newest young emcee earning his keep in the DMV, Black Zheep DZ. He has performed alongside GoldLink, as well as starred in the “When I Die” music video. However, he is far more than a supporting role.
Just yesterday he dropped the newest single off of his forthcoming mixtape, 8th World. The song is called “Mr. Slick” — a self-proclaimed nickname for the 20 year old. Zheep has already made quite an impression in and around Maryland, so it’s only a matter of time before he finds his voice and is able to expand operations nationally.
In addition to “Mr. Slick”, Black Zheep also recently released a music video for his song, “Yesterdays”. A catchy, yet gritty, song that shows the direction Zheep plans to take his music. Accompanying the song is an incredibly well-done video by the fine people at Goodboy Media.
Review | RiFF RAFF – NEON iCON
Posted by BIGLIFE on June 19, 2014
I like RiFF RAFF. It’s no secret. And not in that ironic “hipster” way. I find him infinitely fascinating, and can’t help but cheer for him. Sure, he’s polarizing. Many love him and many hate him. What you have to respect about RiFF RAFF is that he’s not afraid to be his own man. He’s original, hilarious, full of contradictions, and isn’t afraid to live outside the box.
He’s come a long way since his first appearance on “G’s To Gents”. Many dismissed him as a novelty artist, destined to make laughable cameos on World Star. Strangely, Diplo discovered his videos, signed him, and here we are. Come June 24th, RiFF’s appropriately titled “NEON iCON” album drops via Mad Decent, and is arguably the most heavily anticipated record to release in 2014.
RIFF RAFF’s brand of hip-hop is a friendly one. It doesn’t take itself too seriously, which is a large part of the appeal. There’s something for everyone in RIFF’s music, which is a large reason why he’s been so successful up to this point. Somehow, his music is enjoyed by impressionable young white female teenagers, hip-hop purists, and people who write for Vice and hang out in Brooklyn.

New York City’s own Jay Dahbi has vibes for days with this remix revisiting the house classic, Everything But The Girl’s “Missing,” and for all you youngins who might not recognize this title, I assure you once you hit play you’ll know this record. Last but not least, I just want to show my respect to all of the veteran DJs out there who were pushing house music, and EDM before it popped off, and who are still here repping their sound, and revisiting classics like this one so that the dance music of yesterday is still alive and well! Grab this free download and be sure to give this one a listen, it’s a must!

Hip-Hop, Pop, RnB, Videos | William Bolton – Let’s Stay Together (Official Music Video)
Posted by yabishcic on June 17, 2014
Today marks the release of William Bolton‘s official music video for his hit “Let’s Stay Together” that’s been blowing up over the internet recently. We’ve seen Bolton’s face on front page a couple times now with his single “Passion” and the drop of his EP, so it’s no surprise that he’s continuing to release quality projects for his fans. Though still on the come up, there’s no doubt in my mind that Bolton will reach far and wide with his music capabilities ~ not to mention his charismatic smile and killer pipes don’t already make him an easy target for any music lover. The song is upbeat, fun, and very universal with a music video to match it ~ now get ready to join the bandwagon.
If you love the song, you can buy it online through William Bolton’s new website at the bottom of the page under “Let’s Stay Together – Single”.
Electro-House | Pegboard Nerds – Here It Comes

Pegboard Nerds are always releasing progressive house electro bangers to rage to, and “Here It Comes” is no different, reminiscent of my days out in Southern France, near the Spanish border, listening to melodic macina music: epic and hard; so if you’re just waking up, pour yourself some coffee, press play and get yourself inspired! Out via Monstercat, “Here It Comes” is a must listen and support by copping it on Beatport!

Progressive House | Lush & Simon – Hunter

The homies Lush & Simon just dropped their latest progressive house banger”Hunter” via Protocol Recordings, and it’s a lethal one! Going the literal route, as you listen closely to the music, you understand why they called this tune “Hunter” creeping in on the prey, slowly and steadily, until you get real close to it and that’s when the action gets going, until they unleash an epic drop! If there’s one thing I love about these guys it’s their epic buildups into anthemic chord progressions that you leave hanging like you got smacked in the face real hard, went to heaven, and came right back to life. This is a must listen and a must download!
