You know that moment when you’ve let your SoundCloud stream just play out, not really paying attention to what’s playing, until you hear something that pulls you in, makes you stop what you’re doing and think out loud “what is this!?” As a music lover it’s one of best feelings to experience; pure enjoyment, free of any preconceived bias. I…

Undoubtedly one of the most catchy tracks of Gambino’s debut Camp is ‘Fire Fly’. The summery production and sing along chorus made it a favourite among early Bino fans. It seems icekream is a fan as he has opted to put his own spin on the tune. The rework has a hazy yet upbeat feel and the vocal chops and…

Taking a break from remixing, Shooter and Buzz drop a new original entitled ‘UNGH’. With deep moans, hypnotizing melodies and some filthy subterranean bass, this track will pull you in and leave your brain blown. Stream below and…

When I first heard this fresh DnF remix in Dreamcasts Guest Mix I was impressed. Instantly I wondered who’s remix it was and why I hadn’t heard it. The answer was simple; I hadn’t heard because it was an unreleased collab between Dreamcasts, CHLO, and Ase Manual. After some waiting, the official release is finally here. The rework turns up…

One of our favourite producers, The Hi-Yahs, is back with a two track EP entitled ‘Opus De Igno’. Opening things up ‘Click Clack’ contains an epic intro centered around dark choir vocals. As the chants become more anxious, the drums build, giving way to a mind blowing drop with some crazy wubbed out bass lines. It’s a short but powerful section…

Last year ‘Move That Dope’ got remixed to death, and today Woolymammoth & Quix decided to resurrect it. The remix is zombie-esq; a mere shell of the original, nearly unrecognizable outside of the simplistic hook. The two producers bring the trap anthem into the dungeon with ominous synths, violent bass lines and filthy percussion. It’s dark, deep, and disgusting… and we wouldn’t want…

With a stellar official remix for Major Lazer and cosigns from DJ Snake and Tchami, Malaa is one of the hottest new acts out. Today the Parisian producer(s?) dropped their second track to date, a rework of Post Malone’s internet smash ‘White Iverson’. The combination of smooth and infectious vocals with the deep futuristic house feels are nothing short of…

With MURS’ Strange Music debut just around the corner, the underground king drops off a new single. ‘Two Step’ features an eerie but inviting beat and the hook “two shots left in my twenty-two, two step” will be stuck on your head all day. MURS spits a wide range of bars that contrast the norm, from calling out “gang bang…

Your Old Droog and Statik Selektah are a true embodiment of hip-hop. So anytime the two get together on a track you know it’s going to be ill. Statik crafts a beat that’s colder than waiting for the train in December. With no hook, Droog goes in, dropping bars that range from riding the metro, to pulling girls and stuntin’…

Gearing up for his Braincase EP, Electric Mantis, just unleashed the second single ‘Apollo’. It picks up where ‘Infautation’ left off, blending heavy bass hits with futuristic synths. The intro is deceptive, as the smooth shimmering sounds give way to something much darker. Electric Mantis has a knack for taking listeners on a journey and this is one of the most…
