Last week we had the honour of talking to Slumberjack. During our conversation we asked them who was next to watch out for out of Australia. The first artist they named was LUUDE and after hearing ‘Cortex’ it’s quite clear why. The track is a Carmack inspired bass heavy bomb that samples Danny Brown and is guaranteed to leave you discombobulated. Clocking in at…

Stand Tall Fists Up (STFU) have become the go to producers for inventive reworks in 2015. From their bouncy and upbeat ‘Helicopter’ flip, to the genre bending sound on ‘Save Me,’ to their most recent, a fresh take on A-Trak’s smash ‘We All Fall Down,’ the duo never disappoint. Though the A-Trak remix doesn’t officially drop until Friday, the stream is…

In the past few years Australia has been taking over the electronic music scene one act at a time. One of the country’s most impressive offerings is Perth based Slumberjack. The production duo have become highly regarded for their inventive sounds and strong theme of juxtaposition found within their work. From landing an official remix for Porter Robinson, to touring Australia with Alison…

Looks like J. Cole and the Dreamville team aren’t ready to call it a year just yet. Bas & Cole just unleashed a new single entitled ‘Night Job’ which looks to be the first offering from the upcoming Revenge of the Dreamers II album, due out this Friday December 11th. Considering the quality of last year’s Revenge of the Dreamers Friday can’t come soon enough.…

With Kid Cudi’s new album Speedin’ Bullet 2 Heaven set to drop tonight at midnight I figured we’d throw it back with a classic from Cudi. Going back to his debut mixtape, ‘The Prayer’ sees Cudi going in over a beat that heavily samples Band of Horses ‘The Funeral’. It’s everything that fans came to love from the rapper. It’s…

Last year I stumbled across an incredible New York based producer by the name of Drek Martinez. His debut original, ‘No Love Lost’ made me an instant fan and releases like ‘Muse’, ‘Runaway’ and ‘6th Gear’ proved his consistency. I predicted a huge year for the up-and-coming artist but his SoundCloud fell silent for all of 2015. After spending a good portion of…

It’s 2015 and artist based collectives and labels are quickly becoming the new norm. Dated record execs are being replaced by artists that are entrenched in the scene and dedicated to the culture. By banding together artists can harness a collective reach and influence comparative to that of a larger label without having anyone but themselves to answer to. The latest to…

This week we get deep right from the outset, kicking things off with a massive Biggie inspired banger from Malaa. Keeping the G-House feel, NuKid samples Ludacris for ‘Stand Up’. Switching the vibe, we trap it out with heaters from LOUD, Major Lazer x Gent & Jawns & Milo & Otis. Just when you get comfortable, Gutta takes you to…

Ever wondered what it would sound like if two of the best in the game exchanged tracks? Well you’re about to find out. To celebrate Black Friday, Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole decided to do just that. J. Cole goes in over ‘Alright’ meanwhile Kendrick spazzes on ‘Tale Of 2 Citiez’. Unsurprisingly both tracks get bodied but who killed it…

Lido has proven himself to be one of the most forward thinking, inventive and talented producers in electronic music. From remixes for the likes of Alt-J, Bill Withers, and ZHU, to collaborations with Chance the Rapper and Santell, over to his mind-blowing originals, Lido’s skill and diversity are unparalleled. Known for pushing the envelope on records, his live show is pushing the boundaries…
