Vandelux may have gotten his start making remixes, but he’s developed into far more than your average SoundCloud producer. The song writing ability and vocal delivery on his last few songs has been pretty impressive, and his latest track, “Walls,” is no exception. Agonizing lyrics strike a chord that most will find familiar, and the production is top notch as …
ilo ilo – wait
Mysterious new artist(s) ilo ilo have been teasing the release of new music on their instagram for while now, and their debut single is finally here. “Wait” is a supremely catchy tune that features steel drums, looped vocals, and a bunch of crazy little electronic flourishes. It’s got an upbeat, tropical vibe but it packs some serious heat at the …
Rusko – High
Rusko is BACK! He just released his new Rusko – Has Made 5 More Songs EP via famed dubstep label Circus Records and it’s some of his best work to date. The highlight for me is the second track, “High”, which features dreamy vocals, steel drums, a little flute for good measure, and a grinding bassline to tie it all …
MEMBA & Mothica – Chasing Light
Following their killer remix of Missy Elliott’s “Get Ur Freak On”, NY-based duo MEMBA unleash an equally impressive original in “Chasing Light”. The vibrant, bass-heavy beat packs a serious punch, and Mothica‘s airy vocals lend an emotional edge. It reminds me of some of Droeloe’s recent work, but it’s still wildly original. I firmly believe that this is the sound …
Whethan – Be Like You (feat. Broods)
Growling bass, sharp synths, and vocals brimming with power collide in Whethan‘s latest song, “Be Like You”. Whethan might only be 17 years old, but he’s already at the top of his game. He’s worked with notable artists like Charlie XCX, ELOHIM, and Opia in the past, and now he adds the talented brother/sister duo BROODS to the list. “Be …

With his debut album, Places We Don’t Know, right around the corner, Kasbo blesses us with one last single: “Over You”. Everything about this one is drop dead gorgeous—from Frida Sundemo’s sensual vocals to the shimmering up-tempo production. Kasbo himself said this song might be his proudest release to date, and I have to agree that it’s one of his …
Thutmose – Wuwu (Kwon Remix)
Born in Nigeria, raised in Brooklyn, hiphop and r&b artist Thutmose has been making some waves as of late. His single “Wuwu” is wildly catchy, so it’s only right it gets a quality electronic remix. Up and coming producer Kwon makes it happen, and the results are certified fresh. A growling bassline and thumping percussion transform this one into a …
ZHU x Tame Impala – My Life
In this completely unexpected collaboration, Tame Impala frontman Kevin Parker lends his vocals to ZHU‘s latest tune, and the results are top notch. ZHU’s music is always catchy and this one’s no different, but this super bouncy deep house sound is somewhat of a departure from the usual. Fortunately, it works amazingly well, and hearing both of these guys’ voices …
Mitch Geist – Love Doesn’t Grow In Massachusetts
Providing a perfect introduction to producer Mitch Geist‘s unique sound, “Love Doesn’t Grow In Massachusetts” is a funky instrumental that’s always evolving in its brief 2:25 runtime. A synth-laden intro leads into a series of really cool vocal samples, with a thumping beat holding it all together. As if that weren’t enough, things take an unexpectedly chill turn when sexy …
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 …
