Electronic, Videos | Kaytranada – At All (Video)
Posted by mimada on October 2, 2013
I don’t know if y’all are onto this yet but Kaytranada is basically one of the coolest producers out there right now. I mean, over pretty much any big artists in the game, I’d wanna kick it with him. Not only does he come off trill af, but this guy is in a whole other playing field, struttin’ to the beat of his own 808. And his music video for “At All” that just dropped today is the perfect example. I don’t wanna spoil it for you but really, who can make hanging out with female body builders look like the sweetest thing in the world? Not many.
But we’re here for the music anyways, right? In an interview with Noisey, Kaytranada broke down his creative process for this track in particular:
“I was in Paris when I did that song and I just wanted to make a track because I had producer’s block when I was on tour and I couldn’t do any music. I had this long break when I was in Paris though so I decided to take this Chaka Khan song. It’s one of my favourites called “I Love You, I Live You” and I just did random stuff. I usually play with the pitch of the sample but this time I just messed with it. I thought I’d bring something new to the table because not a lot of producers play with their style like that. The drums are like what I usually do with other songs.”
You can purchase his much-anticipated EP via HW&W Recordings on October 16th, and catch him live on tour with Groundislava and Jerome LOL. Check here for dates. In the meantime you can get back to your workout, and don’t forget: friends don’t let friends skip leg day.

Trance | Estiva – Stratos
Posted by Middy on September 21, 2013
Generally, established producers don’t just drop tracks for free out of the blue. They wait for some social media milestone or a holiday to say thanks to the fans. With “Stratos”, Dutch trance producer, Estiva didn’t feel the need to wait for some moment to celebrate, but rather decided to gift his fans now with a free track. The quality is just as high as any of his other tracks, and with “Dinodrums” still rocking sets and the Beatport charts, it is great to see this from Estiva.

House | AlunaGeorge – You Know You Like It (Tchami Remix)
Posted by VMan on September 20, 2013
French producer from Paris, Tchami remixes AlunaGeorge’s “You Know You Like It” and does the track immense justice. Tchami calls his genre future house, and incorporates a lot of elements from Hip-Hop, Trap, and that UK Garage Sound. Not going to lie I’ve had AlunaGeorge’s album in the CD player ever since I saw them live at the Bowery in NYC, and I’m glad talented producers are giving them the proper treatment! This is a must listen and a must download!

House | EFIX & FLINT – Wild Boy
Posted by VMan on September 19, 2013
French producer EFIX is back at it with another quality production, collaborating with FLINT, to bring us “Wild Boy.” If you’re a fan of the saxophone, and groovy guitar lines infused within deep house, you should get to know EFIX and FLINT. EFIX is most likely one of my favorite producers in the game at the moment, and one to definitely keep your eye on, as his music has been making noise all over the world. As per the instruction of the Frenchman, I was told to say less, and have you guys get right in to the music. So without further adieu, enjoy! Must Listen!

Progressive House | Kaskade – Atmosphere (Stereoshock Remix)
Posted by Mel on September 15, 2013
A young Australian boy once kissed me on the cheek in the second grade and I just took it. I didn’t know how to react. That moment was a new experience for me and so is every time I listen to a new track from Stereoshock. He is without a doubt one of the most creative and unique producers out there right now. For his latest project he took to remixing Kaskade’s “Atmosphere”, a song that many people adore but not me (“Eyes” is still easily his best track of the last few years). His remix starts off incredibly strong (like my distaste for guys who wear Toms) with one of the best intros I’ve heard in a while. Then the main piano hits and is complimented with the many layers of sounds and effects that is unique to him. The lead melody during the drop is perhaps his best yet. This is another solid outing from him and yet again he leaves me excited for his next track.

Electronic | Janelle Monae – Q.U.E.E.N. feat. Erykuh Badu (TheFatRat Remix)
Posted by mimada on September 6, 2013
Gotta make this post a quick one because as soon as I heard this song an uncontrollable force inside me made me jump out my seat and start getting ready to go out on this beautiful Friday afternoon. Anywho, all of the artists involved are some of the most talented and energetic so this remix by one of my favorite producers, TheFatRat, was bound to be GOLD. And it is. I promise if you listen to this, the rest of your day will be golden as well.
