Mr. Carmack is back! The legendary producer who is widely renowned for creating the dark trap sound so many of our favorite artists have built upon, just dropped a new single. ‘Solutions’ is a short trip that gives listeners a taste of his upcoming Red EP, which is slated to drop later this month.

The highly anticipated debut EP from Electric Mantis has arrived. Braincase is a 5 track effort that takes listeners on an entrancing and mind-altering journey. It’s the audio equivalent of doing LSD in an underwater cavern. ‘Pixel Wave’ sets the tone perfectly; blending the sounds of running water with gorgeous keys, shimmering synths, hard hitting bass and even a few…

Former trap lords Gladiator continue their exploration of new sounds with a fresh official remix for Kehlani. ‘The Way’ is an interesting blend of summer synths, sultry vocals, west coast bounce and downtempo breaks.

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…
