Chill, Trap | MY†H – Summerboys
Posted by BP on July 18, 2013
This incredibly chill track by MY†H was a pleasure to stumble upon this evening. The dreamy beats take your mind on a journey. It’s a perfect Thursday night chill out song. Trap like this could become incredibly boring if not produced well, but MY†H put out a really refined piece here. This track is unfortunately just a preview, but be sure to pick up their EP, Summerboys93 when it drops on July 29th to Trapdoor Records!
Dubstep, Trap | Sound Remedy – Chiaroscuro
Posted by BP on July 17, 2013
Sound Remedy’s new track is quite unique. The track starts out in his signature melodic dubstep style, but takes an unexpected turn into trap about 2 minutes in. It’s generated mixed opinions on his SoundCloud, some even claiming that it ruined the song. I liked the twist and how it brings energy to the song. The blending of genres was executed very smoothly and definitely keeps the listener intrigued. It’s always cool to see artists experimenting with new sound combinations.

Electro, Trap | Machel Montano – The Fog (Major Lazer & Grandtheft Remix)
Posted by Middy on July 15, 2013
Major Lazer are known for the wide range of musical influences and styles that they draw on and look to incorporate into their music. Whether it is their original work or remixes, they always bring something new to the table. In this latest remix with trap up-and-comer Grandtheft, they take this recent dance hall original from Machel Montano and add slight changes to make it their own. Instead of going for what has been their hallmark lately in trap, they stylize the remix around the dance hall sound, with chunky drums and synths that add an extra element to the track. The remix is free so be sure to grab this one below.
Trap | Kanye West – New Slaves (DJ Snake Remix)
Posted by Spice on July 11, 2013
Say what you will about Yeezus, and say what you will about trap — ain’t nobody gonna argue with how swaggy this song is. What else would you expect from one of the “Bird Machine” masterminds? No doubt about it – Paris is burning right now.
Electro, Trap | Wave Racer FBi Minimix
Posted by mimada on July 11, 2013
Where do I even start with this mix… like hold the phone, WOAH. Ima take a quick second to explain to you what happened the first time I heard about this Australian DJ. See that picture above? That was it. The moment the sound waves in “Rock U Tonite” hit me, I was transported into distant land of dolphins, topless Jeeps, girls in 80’s vintage swimsuits and rainbows. Lots of rainbows. It’s possible I even shed a tear. That picture above isn’t some artist’s rendition of my experience, but rather Wave Racer’s Soundcloud user photo. He took me there. And it was awesome.
Anyways, Wave Racer crafted this mix for the Sydney-based radio station FBi 94.5, who described it as…
… [A] melodic treacle drizzling over sweet vocoder that melts like honeycomb in the mouth. All resting on a bed of dense synthcake and thick yet brittle percussion. It’s music too delectable to refuse.

I know that’s a lot to handle (who knows what those upside down Aussies are on these days) so lemme break it down for you. You’ll happen to notice the tracklist doesn’t include any of Wave Racer’s own songs. This mix, rather, is more of a compilation of some of his biggest inspirations (see: Cashmere Cat and Rustie) as well as artists with a similar style who are, essentially, artists you should get to know.
Overall, this mix, and all the artists featured on it, rock. It’s vivacious, it’s psychedelic, it’s carefree, and even at times, it gets a little sensual. Just another example of the thunder DJs are packing down under. Take note.

Electronic, Trap | Keys N Krates – Dum Dee Dum
Posted by mimada on July 8, 2013
It seems the Canadian fire that is Keys N Krates has spread its way across the pond. Annie Mac posted their latest single, “Dum Dee Dum” as her part of her regular Free Music Monday series. If you’re like me, then you’ve been bumping this track just about everyday since the release of their Hard Summer mixtape back in May, but now you can treat yo’ self to the song alone.
“Dum Dee Dum” starts out strong as a pretty bold trap track, but Keys N Krates are no basic bitches. The switch up halfway thru will present you with the undeniable urge to practice your moves in front of the mirror so you can tw3rk on the dance floor at one of their many upcoming festivals appearances. So get on it now.
