We’ve got another Kiwi killing it, an incredible German bass duo, two of Toronto’s rising stars and a 13 year old producing wild sounds well beyond his…

Malakia Torres, better known as Edekit is a Hawaiian producer pushing the boundaries of bass music. Born on the Big Island, he spent his life growing up in the tropical paradise. That is until last year when a volcanic eruption brought him to the mainland. Despite the traumatic event, Edekit was able to find a silver lining, “The lava flow…

BAAJEWALA burst onto our radar earlier this year when ‘Lunatic’ popped up in Hydraulix’s QGR Mix. The Indian producer has had an interesting introduction to music production. While many producers start out making rap or house beats, BAAJEWALA began making Bollywood instrumentals. So how did he go from Bollywood beats to dirty bass music? “One day I found a video in YouTube…

Travis Scott and Drake’s ‘Sicko Mode’ has been having a massive year. From killing Spotify charts, to radio and clubs, to the wild video, the track has been everywhere. If you thought the hype and support may be dying out soon, think again. Today Skrillex dropped his highly anticipated remix of the banger. Skrillex keeps the song mostly intact for…

Always at the forefront of the music scene, CRAZE started his BEATS mix series back in 2016 as the sound was just emerging. When he reached out to a producer friend who was spearheading the movement and asked what the genre was called, he was told, “That’s the thing…there’s no name to this genre…they’re just beats.” The name and sound…

Canadian DJ and Producer Grandtheft has been a FUXWITHIT favourite since our inception. From his iconic remixes (‘Sweet Nothing, ‘Summer’), to massive originals like ‘Keep It 100,’ ‘Sneaky’ and ‘Butterscotch,’ when Grandtheft sets out to make a club-killer he never fails. 2018 has seen Grandtheft taking a lighter approach with pop-leaning releases ‘Square One’ and ‘She Knows’. Aside from ‘Aaron’s…

A few months back we had the pleasure of premiering Soulse!‘s stunning single ‘One Love.’  Today the rising Russian producer unleashes his best work to date in ‘Like A Drug’. Kellie Allen delivers a stellar vocal performance as emotive keys create deep feels. The stirring energy drifts into a banging trap section that is completely engrossing. But Soule! doesn’t stop there, ‘Like…

As you’ve come to expect we’re back with another batch of bangers to make your weekend extra special.

Before josh pan was an OWSLA backed singer-producer, he was a hungry SoundCloud producer dropping bootlegs and tricking people into believing he’s 20 person collective. One of the often overlooked gems of this period is his incredible remix of the Kanye West and Lupe Fiasco classic ‘Touch The Sky.’ The rework sees pan using the familiar and powerful vocals as…

“My goal was to make a hip-hop house style that royally wrecks dance floors” – Elijah Soltan. The quote is the perfect introduction to Elijah Soltan’s new EP Spin Wrld. After 7 years producing and experimenting across genres it seems like Elijah has honed in on a sound that will help catapult his name to the top. The 4 track EP sounds…
