Electric Mantis really doesn’t disappoint. Since his breakout release ‘Flips and Flops, Drips and Drops,’ the producer has proceeded to astound listeners. His EP Braincase is a transcendent journey through sound and his latest release is his most touching. ‘The One’ is a composition that mirrors the complexity of love itself. It’s a smattering of sounds that somehow come together to create…

It’s Thursday and National Cat day today, so we figured why not showcase a throwback from our favourite kitty, Cashmere Cat. ‘Mirror Maru’ is the title track off his debut EP and it embodies everything that makes the producer so incredible. From the majestic keys in the intro, to the lush strings and the muted but heavenly vocals. The contrast…

We’ve been rocking with Gladiator since they were blowing on that endo on ‘Gamecube Nintendo’. Over the past few years they’ve continued to evolve and their latest release ‘Cute’ is the pinnacle of that evolution. Connecting with Athletixx crew’s Kittens, they bring us a track that couldn’t be further from the title. Those expecting poppy vocals and sunshine synths will…

When Herobust announced his upcoming EP I’m Aloud with the release of ‘Smother Shit’, he told fans that he wanted to be the change he wanted to see. This meant really pushing the envelope, leaving the safe and tried and true sounds for something more creative. Although ‘Smother Shit’ proved he wasn’t playing, it’s his second single, ‘Dirty Work’ that really illustrates…

I first encountered Branchez in 2013, when he made me fall in love with a Rihanna track. Since then he’s continued to impress with stellar reworks for What So Not and Wet, plus one of the hottest originals of 2014 (‘Truth’). Today, the NY producer is back with another one that guaranteed to leave your brain blown. ‘Cuenta’ packs everything from verbal gun shots,…

The last time NIGHTOWLS connected with Sam F they brought us the after hours anthem ‘Nap In The Club’. Continuing in the fun yet viscous vibe comes their latest collab, a rework of Lil Dicky’s ‘Lemme Freak’. As Dicky seduces listeners with pizza, a little bit of weed and the features of his fridge, the beat creates an air of anticipation. Looped vocals…

Brilly Twonka aka Yung Brillionaire aka Netflix and Brill aka Brillz is back with something massive. Geekin is a four track offering that’s guaranteed to appease the bass gods (and heads!). The title track kicks it off with a true trap feel. Knockin 808’s, an abundance of bass, sinister horns and Que as ignorant as ever all combine and culminate…

Lido is currently one of the best producers in electronic music, period. The volume, consistency and quality of his releases have made this an undebatable fact. It’s become commonly accepted that everything he puts will be amazing, but what if he decides to drastically switch it up and a drop an R&B influenced Passion Project? His new joint EP with Santell is…

Woolymammoth and Tsuruda are both highly regarded for their immensely inventive and often dark sounds. So when the two come together for a song it’s only fitting that those attributes are magnified exponentially. Working on a remix for Crooked Colours, they drag the already downtempo ‘Step’ into a deep abyss. A minimal backdrop allows the haunting vocals to take an even…
