Ignore the hate, the new Jauz album is fire. The Wise and The Wicked is an ambitious 23 songs long, and while they’re not all winners, the renowned EDM producer delivers a ferocious album full of bangers. My favorite is his collaboration with pop songstress Kiiara. “Diamonds” pairs Kiiara’s breathy vocals with bouncing bass and a slick beat. Give it …
Yellow Claw – Summertime (feat. San Holo)
DJ duo Yellow Claw enlist the one and only San Holo for a new single leading up to the release of their new album, New Blood, out on June 22nd. “Summertime” features wildly processed vocals and a drop that hits way harder than expected. There’s even a guitar solo thrown in to round things out. Stream “Summertime” below and get …
ELOHIM – Panic Attacks (feat. Yoshi Flower)
Soothing vocals from ELOHIM and Yoshi Flower intertwine in this hauntingly beautiful new single. I found myself immediately intrigued by the opening melody, then the woozy guitar and perfect chorus sealed the deal. The style of these two mesh together effortlessly and I’d love to hear another collaboration down the road. “Panic Attacks” can be found on ELOHIM’s upcoming self …
Cashmere Cat, Major Lazer & Tory Lanez – Miss You
Cashmere Cat joins forces with Major Lazer and Tory Lanez to deliver a slice of pop perfection in “Miss You”. The pristine production of both Cashmere and Major Lazer is on full display here, with Tory Lanez’s airy vocals adding a warm tropical vibe to the mix. Everything about this one is really catchy, but as one SoundCloud user pointed …
Ekali & ZHU – Blame
The OWSLA label is ending the year on a high note with Ekali and Zhu‘s heavy-hitting collaboration, “Blame”. Ekali’s dark production is perfectly complimented by Zhu’s falsetto vocals, and the way the beat builds into the aggressive, brass-laden drop is incredibly gratifying. Needless to say, both of these guys brought their A-game on this one. Grab a free download here, …
Tony – DEEPER ft. Ponsuda
Tony and Ponsuda, two producers and members of the EVILSIDECREW collective, recently teamed up for “Deeper” — a dreamy beat featuring faded rap vocals from Rich The Kid, Famous Dex & Jay Critch’s “You Flexing“. The vocals take a backseat in this one, acting as a rhythmic compliment to the otherworldly production, and the results are nothing short of hypnotizing.
ODESZA – Across The Room (feat. Leon Bridges)
Today is the day, my friends. ODESZA‘s new album A Moment Apart is finally here and it was well worth the wait. I especially wanted to write about “Across The Room” because it’s such a fantastic (and unexpected) collaboration. I mean, Leon Bridges featured on an ODESZA track!? It’s a match made in heaven. The old-school soul singer’s silky vocals …
Mr. Carmack – Watch Me (Ft. Adam Vida)
Rhythm Roulette is a YouTube series in which a blindfolded producer picks out 3 random albums in a record shop, then samples said albums to create a beat. They’re always fun to watch, but this one is the best yet. The brilliant Mr. Carmack puts on a production clinic, using nothing but sampled sounds to create this eerily groovy beat. …
Harris Cole – That Miserable Man Milligan (feat. Mr. Carmack)
The recently released album, Pause, by Chicago-based producer Harris Cole makes for an incredible listen, especially if you appreciate a cohesive, laid back instrumental project like I do. One of the album’s many highlights is the Mr. Carmack assisted track, “That Miserable Man Milligan,” which features an array of trippy sounds overtop a beat that hypnotizes with a plodding, syrupy …
NxWorries – Get Bigger
The collaborative project between rapper Anderson Paak and beatsmith Knxwledge is a match made in heaven. Together they are NxWorries, and their second single “Get Bigger” spotlights the strengths of both artists. Knxwledge’s dusty, laid back production and Anderson Paak’s raspy, soulful vocals beautifully collide in one of the best hip hop songs I’ve heard in quite a while. Their …
