With Jay Z’s new artist owned streaming service, Tidal, making waves all week, I figured we might as well throw it back to a classic track from the rap god. Back in 95′ (pre Reasonable Doubt) Jay Z dropped the ‘Big Jaz’ remix of ‘In My Lifetime’, complete with a new beat and fresh bars. The smooth piano based beat…

After killing the game with remix after remix of pure heat, Andrew Luce is out to prove his worth with a fresh original. With a little help from XVII, the San Francisco beatmaker unleashes ‘Blanc’. His most adventurous work to date, the track spans many sounds over the course of five minutes. From the downtempo intro to the future bass influenced…

We’re back with Volume 9 of our Viibes playlist series. This is our collection of breathe-taking, laid back, and melodic beats. It’s where airy soundscapes and 808’s collide for a sound that is infinitely chill. It’s the perfect way to unwind from a long day or just simply cool out. It also functions well as studying/working music (it is time for finals after all).…

Last week Lido & Canblaster announced they will be releasing a collaborative EP entitled Superspeed (due out April 6th). The announcement came with the first single, the incredible ‘Rush Hour’. Today the two artists debuted the title track. ‘Superspeed’ has a futuristic, almost poppy feel. It sounds like cruising in a flying car on a Summer’s afternoon. The pitched vocals are…

Collectives have been taking over the game in the past year or so. From Soulection and WEDIDIT to Moving Castle and Hegemon, each is leveraging the joint power of the artists fan bases to multiply their organic growth and put forth incredible collaborations and projects. The newest collective to land on my radar is the Austrian based TrapHood Family. Founded…

We need more ‘CoCo’ remixes like we need more Transformers movies (we absolutely do not). But this one is different, I promise. German producer Ben Esser leverages Ed Sheeran’s cover of the O.T. Genesis anthem. Rather than creating a gritty trap banger, it has a smooth almost romantic vibe. It starts out with a laidback and emotive feel and transitions…

If you’re looking for something to sex up your Saturday (or whatever day it is that you’re reading this) look no further. Dreamcasts and Lux Lynx recently connected for a remix of Omarion’s ‘O’.
