Happy Good Friday! Despite the holiday we’ve got another jam packed playlist for your listening pleasure. We kick things off with a new banger from Bro Safari and follow it up with heaters from Promnite and Baauer. Smookie Illson make their return with ‘Taken Away’. The group recently had their SoundCloud deleted so be sure to hit them with a…

Athletixx’s own Promnite is back again taking on Rome Fortune’s ‘Dance’. The track is an interesting balance of upbeat melodies, auto-tuned vocals and wonky as fuck bass lines. It’s a hybrid of deep house, club and a touch trap. The track has a catchy pop-friendly feel that is juxtaposed with some stellar production and progression. I look forward to hearing this…

This is as hip-hop as it gets; 3 of New York’s finest (Your Old Droog, Styles P and Joey Bada$$) on an ice cold Black Milk beat. ‘Just Rhyming’ sees each emcee dropping a verse with fierce bars. This isn’t that party shit to get live to, this is that sit down and listen and let the punchlines blow your…

Post Malone has been ballin’ on us for a minute, so it’s only right that ‘White Iverson’ gets itself a fresh coat of paint. New Zeland duo Eastern Bloc have done just that with a massive rework. The familiar vocals and some smooth keys set things off slow but don’t be fooled, this one gets crazy. Vocal chops lead into a…

The power and strength of What So Not is his ability to blend atmospheric and emotionally driven soundscapes with a hard hitting twist. Yet another striking example of this talent comes in the form of his latest, a remix of RÜFÜS’ ‘Innerbloom’. The intro sees heartfelt strings and synths underscored by dance ready drums. Just as you expect it to drop, it’s…

Earlier this year OVO’s Majid Jordan dropped their debut album. The self titled effort features a slew of incredible works including the stand out single ‘Something About You’. The hazy vibe and alluring melodies made this one an instant hit. The original is so strong that pulling off a remix that does it proper justice is no easy feat. Thankfully…

Gladiator are on a mission to murder 2016. The LA duo kicked the year off with the incredible Transit EP and followed things up two weeks ago with the QUIX assisted ‘Chilly Bin’. Keeping the momentum going, Gladiator blessed fans with another free release in ‘Berserk’. As the title ensues this one is out of control. The hypnotizing vocals “make you dance,…

Shadow Sable has been looming in the SoundCloud underworld for just under a year. Disappearing for a few months before raising his head once again to leave fans brains blown. Today Shadow is back with VIP of Sable and Promnite’s massive ‘OMG’. One of the filthiest tracks of 2015 just got nastier. With harsher vocals chops, militant drum work and…

Bay area beatmaker Mikos Da Gawd has been amping the game up with his fresh takes on hip-hop tunes in his Caffeine series. It looks like the hard work on these projects isn’t going overlooked as Zion I has tapped him for their latest single ‘Saving Souls’. The production is a balance of hazy loops, 90’s vocal samples, and intense…

Last year STFU burst onto the scene with the massive two track EP So Duh. Released on Slow Roast Records, the title track introduced us to their inventive sound, landing itself support from some of the world’s biggest DJs and a spot on our Top 100 Songs of 2015 list. It wasn’t long before STFU were popping up on remix…
