The unstoppable force known X&G kick off the year with an explosive new release: the MONSTA EP. I’d been anxiously awaiting some new stuff from these guys and I’m pleased to say this EP absolutely delivers. Furious percussion and mind-bogglingly complex sound design can be found in each of the project’s 3 songs—a concise effort in which every track is …
Hippie Sabotage – Overdrive
Genre bending duo Hippie Sabotage have a unique style that blends woozy guitar riffs, hard hitting percussion, and sleepily delivered vocals. It’s not really like anything else out there but it’s super easy to get into. Their new song “Overdrive” embodies the group’s signature sound and serves as a perfect introduction if you’re not already familiar. Check it out below—along …
Great Dane – Former Friends
I can’t get enough of Great Dane‘s understated brand of trap music. In a genre that’s filled with loud and aggressive songs, his style stands out with a stripped down, pure sound. “Former Friends” is the first taste of his upcoming album Delta Fly, and it features the most hypnotic beat I’ve heard in a minute. It’s got a west …
Emmit Fenn – I Can’t Believe I Had You
The recently released Until We Meet Again EP by incredibly talented singer and producer Emmit Fenn is a gorgeous little project from start to finish. My favorite song, hands down, is the delicate and sentimental “I Can’t Believe I Had You”. It features softly crooned and subtly digitized vocals, dreamy synths, and a smooth house beat. Fenn’s entire discography is great, …
Gill Chang – Sad About It (feat. Luma)
This is a bit of a throwback as it was released 6 months ago, but I just heard it for the first time and fell in love. “Sad About It” fits right in line with the rest of Gill Chang‘s consistently high quality electronic music, while standing out as one of his most unique songs to date. He enlists Luma for …
Catching Flies – Ghosts
London producer Catching Flies continues to impress with his new single “Ghosts”. Like his other work, this song is incredibly detailed and well produced—with an array of instruments combining to create an intensely emotive sound. The steady beat is layered with melancholic acoustic guitar, asiatic sounding strings, and a smoky saxophone section that carries the song home. If you’re not …
Very Yes – Ten Ate
I couldn’t find much info on Very Yes but I can tell you this much: I absolutely love the music he’s been making. I was hooked on his debut song “Collide” a while back, and more recently I’ve been enjoying his equally impressive follow-up, “Ten Ate”. It revolves around a series of gorgeous vocal samples that are chopped and arranged …
Flume – Rushing Back (Third Culture Kid Remix)
Seattle producer Third Culture Kid‘s rendition of “Rushing Back” stands out as one of the best remixes the amazing original has seen so far. Waves of rich, textured sound back Vera Blue’s haunting vocals, and a blend of heavy electronica comes crashing down in an explosive drop. I imagine putting your own spin on a track of this caliber is …
MEMBA – Chasing Light Pt.2 (ft. Mothica)
A new MEMBA track is always a treat. Most recently, the duo reworked their amazing song with Mothica, “Chasing Light“, by upping the tempo and unleashing a killer beat to transform the original into a euphoric dance track. The vocals and overall feel still pack an emotional punch, and the new instrumentation adds a layer of freshness to a track …
Birdriot – Wanna Go (Colson XL Remix)
Up and coming producers Colson XL put a hypnotic spin on Vancouver based artist Birdriot‘s new song “Wanna Go”. The original is a spacey pop/R&B tune with warbling autotuned vocals and clean production. Colson XL’s remix maintains the core elements of the song while introducing slick new percussion and synths, chopping the vocals, and speeding things up to create a …
