With the release of Major Lazer’s Peace Is the Mission earlier this week, we figured we’d look at a track from Diplo’s Caribbean inspired project for this week’s Tracks You May Have Missed. Though many are familiar with the 2013 hit ‘Get Free’ they may have missed the remix featuring J. Cole. The track serves as an interesting backdrop for Cole…

In the span of a month, CRNKN has released a slew of incredible remixes including ‘Lean On’, ‘Gold Dust’, & ‘Just Like’. Today he returns with yet another, taking on Sam Gellaitry’s ‘Waiting So Long’. The track opens with a smooth melody that picks up with a steady drum build and vocal chops. A whistle and brief pause give way to a…

Milo & Otis with N.O.R.E and Paul Wall!? We most definitely FUXWITHIT. The production duo bring their A game and signature sound with a hard hitting trap beat. Paul Wall glides over the beat, stunting about his bling, “whole mouth froze up like David Blaine in Time Square.” The intensity subsides for a brief break before N.O.R.E. comes through hard…

Lights, Camera, Action when I walk through the door. To kick off their upcoming Gold Gone Wild II tour, A-Trak, AraabMuzik and Ape Drums deliver a new original entitled ‘Action’. The track sounds like a 2050 club anthem interrupted by a ray gun shootout. The vocal samples give it some serious swag while the industrial but futuristic sounds make it…

DJ HOOD landed on my radar a few months back with the release of his massive Jersey Club remix of ‘Chief’. Now he has returned with an even bigger smash entitled ‘Jungle Terror’. The track combines elements of Jungle Terror (hard steel drums, elephant trumpets and some sinister brass) with his signature Jersey club style. The end result is epic enough…

Happy Friday! If you’re not ready for weekend, Lexxmatiq’s latest remix is sure to get you there. The aptly titled track is the perfect start to this week’s FUXWITHITFRIDAYS feature. From there we dive into summery tracks from DJ Mustard & Flippy Frog x Might Mouze before getting heavy with Quix and Flechette. Things get really nasty with the latest…

Mikos Da Gawd has been bubbling on my SoundCloud for sometime. With the release of his collaborative EP with Tele Fresco he has fully captivated my attention. ‘Raviloi Waterslide’ is a clear standout. From the odd title, to the bent, almost unrecognizable R. Kelly vocal samples, to the hard hitting bass with snapping snares, this track is incredible. It’s refreshing…

LA has always been a hotbed for creatives. Maybe it’s the crazy nightlife, Oceanside views, or infinite sunshine. The most recent proof of this is the incredible variety of heavy house sounds emerging from the area. Whether it’s bass house, G-House, future ghetto, future house, sunset house or some other presumably made up offshoot, the music is undeniably awesome. Considering…

Louis Futon is back with a genre bending banger to put your speakers to work. ‘Oakland Tho’ sees the producer taking on Vell and DJ Mustard. The rework has a futuristic feel that layers the rap bars with dark and disgusting drops. For the break, Futon allows a little bit of Mustard’s signature sound to bleed through before bringing it…
