Genre defying and experimental, the new project from Villager, aka Alex Young, pushes all the right buttons. VILLAGER TAPE VOL. 1 is an eclectic 43-minute mix I can only describe as a sonic explosion of electronic, hip hop, ambient, trap, and house music. And truthfully, that description barely scratches the surface when it comes to the slew of influences found …
Silva – Freeze
Love this new freshness from Perth, Australia based producer Silva. This is an artist who’s in a lane of his own—his style doesn’t sound like anything else out right now. His latest offering, “Freeze,” starts smoothly and evolves into a serious banger, complete with a high-octane drop that’ll blow your hair back. I can’t get enough of it.
Cozway – Expedition EP
I’ve been looking forward to Cozway‘s debut EP for some time now and I’m pleased to say it was well worth the wait. The Expedition EP finds the young producer at the top of his game, with 4 hard hitting tracks shining a spotlight on his unique style. Growling bass and dark, tribal vibes permeate the entire project, and the percussion …
Cozway – Camouflage Ft. Laura Hahn
Moody vocals lead up to a mind melting drop in Cozway‘s new song “Camouflage”. The young producer is releasing his debut EP on May 8th via Deadbeats, and judging by the lead single it’s going to be something special. “Camouflage” kicks off with ominous instrumentation that provides the perfect backdrop for Laura Hahn‘s airily crooned vocals—but it wouldn’t be a …
Silva – Orchid
Australian producer Silva has returned with a hard hitting, experimental trap tune that’s loaded with intricate details and an uneasy vibe. The young producer’s music always has an ethereal quality to it, and “Orchid” continues that trend—striking a unique balance with whimsical sounds and a dark, foreboding atmosphere. Silva manages to combine these unexpected elements to create a song that …
Just Blaze & Baauer – Higher (Ft. Jay-Z) (Cozway Edit)
After signing to RL Grime’s Sable Valley label last July, fast-rising producer Cozway is poised for a big year in 2020. He’s been playing out this monstrous edit of Just Blaze & Baauer‘s “Higher” in his live sets for a while now, so I’m beyond stoked to get an official release. Cozway’s unique sound is completely unleashed on this one, …
OZZIE – White Ferrari
This is the coolest thing I’ve heard in a minute. OZZIE has been one of my favorite producers for a long time now, and his new edit of Frank Ocean‘s “White Ferrari” reignites my love of his music. It’s a sedated reworking that layers and loops Frank’s vocals over a rolling trap beat, creating a melancholic vibe that’s a pleasure …
HU₵₵I – WORLD
OG trap artist HU₵₵I takes a deliberate approach when it comes to releasing new music, but the quality is always out of this world. His new song “WORLD” is a somber affair that features ethereal production, immaculate trap percussion, waves of warm synths, and monologued vocals threaded throughout. It’s insane how much emotional weight HU₵₵I can establish within a single …
Billie Eilish – ilomilo (Bad Acid Remix)
LA producer Bad Acid puts a sinister spin on “ilomilo”, transforming it into a warped reflection of itself. Billie Eilish‘s delicate vocals are left mostly intact, but waves of shadowy bass, minimalistic percussion, and eerie, off-kilter synths replace the bouncy production of the original. Bad Acid’s style sounds so incredibly natural alongside Billie’s vocals that it feels like this remix …
1991 – The People
The highly anticipated new song from recent Sable Valley signee 1991 is finally here. Trap enthusiasts everywhere have been clamoring for “The People” ever since it was featured in RL Grime’s Halloween VIII mix last year, but the wait is over and we’ve been gifted with an official release. If you’re not familiar with 1991, he’s a London based producer …
