I featured one of loosid‘s exceptional remixes a few weeks ago, but this time it’s one of the talented producers original songs that has me all worked up. On “No Gravity”, loosid puts his finely tuned production skills on full display — with sharp percussion, a diverse mix of synths, and intricate electronic flourishes all melting together to create a genuinely special song.

Slushii – I’ll Be There
Slushii is known for his high-energy EDM and dubstep music, so “I’ll Be There” comes as a bit of a surprise. It’s the second to last song on his newly released Out Of Light album, and unlike the majority of his work, it’s just about as chilled out as it gets. Rich piano melodies and soothing pads are tied together with a perfectly simple drum pattern, and it’s all complimented by playful chimes and vocals. I’m a big fan of Slushii’s usual sound, but this song shows a different side of the enigmatic producer and I’m loving it. Check out the full album on SoundCloud and stream “I’ll Be There” below.

SwuM. – Sizzurp
SwuM. is a producer with a knack for adding wildly unique spins to some of the most popular hip-hop tracks around. His latest beat samples the chorus from Three 6 Mafia’s classic ode to codeine, “Sippin on Some Syrup” and backs it with layers of beautiful strings and vocals borrowed from Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes soulful old song “You Know How to Make Me Feel”. The resulting track is classy as hell, and catchy enough to warrant throwing it on repeat. Read More

How about a nice chilled out beat to start the week?

It clocks in at a mere minute and a half, but it certainly makes the most of it’s brief runtime. Check out more from quickly, quickly on Soundcloud, and stream “applesauce” below. Read More
Jai Wolf – Starlight (Goldroom Remix)
Goldroom‘s latest release is a breathtaking reworking of Jai Wolf‘s beautiful single, “Starlight”. The airy vocals of Mr. Gabriel effortlessly coast alongside waves of balmy synths and entrancing percussion, while a healthy dose of reverb helps create a truly surreal soundscape. This is a great song for zoning out during a late night drive, and the perfect pairing for your favorite set of headphones. All that’s left to do is click play and float away. Read More
mossy. – Glass
I’ve discovered several exciting new producers recently and mossy. sits firmly at the top of the list. There’s not a lot of info about him, but his polished sound has me hooked in the best way. His new song “glass” features waves of organic instrumentation and deep electronic sounds colliding together to form an intensely downtempo affair. The results are mesmerizing, and it’s honestly unlike anything I’ve heard in recent memory. Check mossy. out on SoundCloud and stream “glass” below. Read More
Sal Dulu – Antasma
Never heard of Sal Dulu? I hadn’t either before stumbling upon his wild new song “Antasma”. According to SoundCloud, Sal Dulu is a producer from Dublin—but it’d be tough to tell from the sound of this tune alone. “Antasma” has a laid back, tropical tone that’s established with tight drum patterns, jazzy guitar riffs, and an array of soulful vocal samples. It pretty much won me over as soon as the steel drums came in, but the unexpected barrage of electro synths threw me head over heels. Follow Sal Dulu on SoundCloud and stay tuned for more… we’ll definitely be keeping an eye on this guy. Read More
Leon Lour – Oceans (Loosid Remix)
It’s the creative little details that make Loosid‘s work so special. His latest release is a remix of London-based artist Leon Lour‘s “Oceans”, which originally featured gripping vocals and a backdrop of epic production. Loosid’s remix bumps up the tempo and introduces some killer flute work, while also incorporating an unorthodox mix of electronic elements. Crisp percussion, finely diced vocals, and perfectly placed bass growls transform this song into something completely out of the ordinary, while still maintaining the powerful appeal of the original track.
