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…

It seems the list of LA House artists that are killing it right now seems to grow each day. The latest addition is production duo Boots N Pants. Taking on LondonBridge’s ‘Diddy’s House’ they bang out a deep house anthem primed for the clubs. The catchy lyrics take listeners to after parties at celebrity homes (hence then title). The beat…

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. The upbeat sound is completely stripped away as Chance the Rapper comes in, creating a darker desolate feel. As the verse closes the track once again…

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…

Just in time for the summer, Hoodboi is back with a stunning future bass rework of ASTR’s ‘Activate Me’. The warm synths and gripping vocals combine for a sound that drifts between moving and upbeat. It’s an infectious effort that’s guaranteed to garner repeat spins, especially considering it’s a free download. Stream below.

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…
