Black EL and Durkin’s chemistry is well documented (see ‘Garcia Vega,’ ‘Silver Surfer’ and ‘Do Not Disturb’). Anytime the producer and emcee connect, you know you’re going to get a great tune. Reiterating this fact once more comes ‘Another Dose’. Durkin brings a smooth space-wave soundscape that EL is at home on. As we’ve come to expect from Black EL,…

Lunice is back! The producer and TNGHT member who helped shape the trap scene has returned with his first new song in 2 years. ‘Mazerati’ builds upon the foundational sound that fans have come to know Lunice for. Snapping drums and deep bass are layered with icy synths and pitched down vocal samples. Choir-inspired vocals elevate the vibe to spiritual…

In the span of just a few months, wevor trill has emerged as one of the most promising up-and-coming producers of 2017. His originals ‘drop,’ ‘yayzer beam’ and ‘aviary’ are all sure to impress and his remixes follow suit. His Post Malone remix is one of my favorite flips of the year and he’s showing no signs of slowing down.…

Over the past few years, electronic music has been skewered and looked down upon, especially in the live space. With the rise of the bedroom producers and superstar DJs, mediocre DJ sets have become a new norm, with artists spending all their time making music vs. actually practicing/performing it. One of the biggest misconceptions to come out of this is that…

The trend of pop-leaning future bass is becoming too delightful to resist. The most recent artist to dabble in the sound with success is none other than Ramzoid. Connecting with Haley Sheffield, the two deliver a tune that is as enchanting as its title. ‘Firefly’ exudes summer from it’s first note and builds upon the atmosphere exceptionally. It’s sultry, smooth and almost…

After some time off, RL Grime has returned to the spotlight. He first reappeared with ‘Reims’ last month and today he is back with Miguel for ‘Stay For It’. The track is an emotional epic that is guided by Miguel’s impassioned vocals. RL Grime build around his voice, crafting the perfect compliments, from piano solos to chest pounding builds, mesmerizing bridges and…

If trap slappers are your vibe then we’ve got something for you. HOUNDS & SENOJNAYR just collided for an absolutely beastly record in ‘Wrath’. As the title might suggests, it’s mean, menacing and maniacal. The dark soundscape from the intro drifts into raw dungeoness bass. While the first drop may be harder, the second packs a street swagger that elevates…

New Zealand’s QUIX has been on our radar for quite some time. After first impressing us with his filthy ‘Move That Dope’ remix, he’s continued to evolve and improve. Last year we named him one of the top artists pushing trap music forward and with the release of his debut EP he lives up to that spot and more. Heaps Cool is a 6 track EP…

I keep telling people that X&G are at the forefront of electronic music; easily one of the most innovative duos out. And they keep proving this opinion to be truer with every release. Their most recent track sees them connecting with frequent collaborator josh pan. Josh delivers angelic and floaty vocals over a chilling tapestry. This motif gives way to…
