You may be wondering what the name of this song means and I don’t know either. What I can tell you is this: “Kliptown Empyrean” is Skrillex‘s latest, and he somehow created it in a single day which is insane. It has a manipulated vocal samples looped over a throwback house beat and it just plain works. Listen below.
X&G – MONSTA EP
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 …
X&G – LIKE IT
Production duo X&G are back with a dangerous new house tune that wastes no time getting into a dark groove with churning bass and furious percussion. Even though house music is a departure from their previous work, X&G maintain their signature sound by scattering vocal samples, drum fills, and subtle effects throughout the 4 minute track—making for a seriously intense …
Madeon – All My Friends (TOO KIND Remix)
Up and coming Orlando based producer TOO KIND is back with another ferocious remix—this time taking on Madeon‘s latest song, “All My Friends”. The vocals from the poppy original are kept mostly intact, but TOO KIND introduces growling synths and high octane percussion to warp the original into a gnarly, hard hitting new tune. I’m a big fan of this …
LSDREAM & Champagne Drip – ETERNAL NOW
“Eternal Now” is a spacey and atmospheric collaboration between electronic heavyweights LSDREAM (fka Brillz) and Champagne Drip. It features heaping amounts of bass and super clean percussion, along with the best intro I’ve heard so far this year. The song continuously builds on itself by introducing intense new sounds and upping the energy level at every turn—with a climax of …
The Chainsmokers – HOPE (Parker Remix)
Rising producer Parker puts an ungodly heavy spin on The Chainsmokers recent single “HOPE”. Opening with twinkling keys and vocals from Winona Oak, Parker beefs up the original with epic horn jabs and thunderous bass—transforming the pretty pop song into a dangerous electronic anthem. I love when remixes switch up the vibe like this without losing the essence of the …
Cozway – Java
New year, new Cozway! The fast rising producer had a massive 2018 that was capped off with an official remix of RL Grime’s “Shrine”, and he’s keeping his hot streak going with a hard hitting new original called “Java”. Released via Mad Decent imprint Good Enuff, “Java” is an all out assault of sinister sounds. Cozway’s unique and inventive style …
Yoshi Flower – Brown Paper Bag
Yoshi Flower is easily one of my favorite new artists of 2018. I was hooked when I first heard him featured on Elohim‘s beautiful “Panic Attacks” and I’ve enjoyed everything he’s released since. His latest song “Brown Paper Bag” is a high octane tune that features killer guitar riffs, powerful bass, and a supremely catchy vocal performance. This guy is …
BLACK LAND & Aglon – Talking In My Sleep
What kind of electronic black magic is this? Producers Black Land and Aglon teamed up to create this deliciously strange little number, and I for one am hooked. Pitched and chopped vocal samples are paired with thumping drums and an array of weird supporting sounds, resulting in a wild 3-minute ride.
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 …
