This past Sunday, Mura Masa descended upon The Hoxton to treat fans to his eclectic blend of hip-hop-infused electronic music. It was my first time hitting The Hoxton on Sunday and wasn’t sure what to expect. Arriving just after 9:30, the venue was already starting to fill in. As Michl took the stage, everyone huddled in tight for an intimate…

You can practically hear the snow fall as ‘Let Go’ opens. Cold vocal bends and stirring keys are an instant draw while drums build up the tension. When the track hits, it’s a wave of powerful chords and bass that take you to a frozen-over lake as the sun rises. Andew Paley’s vocals are emotionally engulfing, pulling the listener deeper into…

The Jersey club king is back! DJ Sliink just dropped a flip of Tory Lanez’ smash ‘Say It’. It’s exactly what we’ve come to expect from DJ Sliink’s reworks; a banging club record riddled with precise vocal chops, smashing bass and signature jersey sounds. Jersey club may not have the hype it did a few years back but this rework proves it’s very…

Mysterious duo PURGE made us instant fans with the release of their Feel Your Love EP. After impressing us once again with ‘Die Tonight,’ they return with yet another stellar tune. ‘Heart’ fits in a similar vein as ‘Feel Your Love,’ blending moving vocals with eerie synths and some serious bass. The percussion feels like they’re drumming live from your…

Another great week of music means another jam-packed FUXWITHITFRIDAYS. This week we kick it off with the monster new tune from Oski ‘Flex’ and keep that energy going with UZ & Mayhem’s equally heavy ‘Amazon’. Cuts from Nick Hook, Stooki Sound x Evil Needle, ManuMan & icekream, Juelz, and midnght keep thing knockin’ throughout. Plus we’ve got killer remixes from…

Still riding high off the success of his summer smash ‘Devasted,’ Joey Bada$$ is back with a fresh cut. If the beat sounds familiar it’s because it samples the infamous Narcos theme with a healthy addition of bass and 808s. Joey builds on the cinematic vibe with bars like “bad mamas front and center/it’s a movie scene when I enter.”…

UZ’s Quality Good Recordings is proving to live up to its name. After releasing EPs from UZ, Ian Munro and Tascione, they’re back with another huge release, Oski’s Kid Chrome. The project is everything we look for in a trap release in 2016. It’s hard hitting, forward thinking and balances between somewhat familiar and “what the fuck is this!?” Kid Chome kicks…

Despite the dirty vocals that TJR’s ‘Dik Work’ are built upon, I always felt the production was just a little bit too clean. Today club duo Vices have blessed us with the filthy remix we deserve. Taking this one straight to jersey, they club it out with even more “dick” samples, hard kicks and vocals chops. It’s ignorant, offense and it’s…

Music streaming isn’t the future, it’s the present. Physical albums are dead and people seldom even download music anymore. Why would you, when everything is available just a few taps or clicks away? Platforms like Apple Music, Spotify, Tidal and SoundCloud are all vying to host artists’ music and garner listeners ears. SoundCloud became the platform of choice for underground…

Anytime Baauer drops a new track it makes you want stop what you’re doing and listen. The producer’s raw talent and inventive approach have made him one of the most beloved producers in electronic music. That said, when he drops two tracks in one day, this is just multiplied exponentially. After premiering ‘Paauer’ on his Beats 1 radio show, the…
