Boombox Cartel have been killing the game. ‘Supernatural’ was easily one of the biggest and baddest tunes of 2016 and their recent Mr. Carmack flip has slaughtered stages throughout this year. Building upon their success comes their massive EP Cartel. The 5 track offering is a sampler of the duos incredible signature style. ‘Phoenix’ opens the project with a cinematic flair that burns slow and builds into an emotional peak that draws influence from DnB, future bass and club music. The outro pulls elements from ‘Jefe’ forward allowing the perfect lead in to the second track. With a Lil Jon sample and earth shattering bass this track practically defines what a banger is in 2017. ‘Alamo’ strikes a balance between moving and madness. Shoffy’s vocals are nothing short of stunning while the drops are straight up abusive. ‘Dem Fraid’ sees dance hall with raw trap for a sound that’s something like Major Lazer meets Mr. Carmack. Closing things out comes the QUIX assisted ‘Widdit’. The ethereal opening might mislead you but I assure you it is anything but delicate. The sunset sound is quickly obliterated by a section that sounds like a dozen robotic ninja’s sword fighting in a warehouse. All-in-all Cartel cements Boombox Cartel’s status as one of the hottest production duos in the game right now. Stream it below and grab it via Mad Decent.
