The convergence of rap and electronic music continues to result in new sounds and styles. One of my favorites right now is a blend of gritty deep house and familiar rap songs.

Jersey Club producer TR!CK$ is on fire. I first came across his work with his rambunctious flip of Makonnen’s ‘Tuesday’ but it was ‘LoV3’ that truly impressed. Keeping a similar tone TR!CK$ has linked up with L’Etranger for a new original. The opening vibe is mellow with smooth guitar riffs and pitched vocals. It picks up quickly with some fast drum work…

Thugli and Grandtheft took over The Hoxton; one of the best clubs in the city. If you haven’t been to the venue I’d suggest you take a trip as soon as possible. Relatively small in size, it allows for intimate…

Drake and Wayne’s ‘Money To Blow’ is a modern day club classic. The infectious melodies and stunt filled lyrics are impossible to resist while partying. Reinventing the track, Krs. takes the hit in a completely new direction, moving from the club to the lounge. The new version is wavy as the Atlantic and some heavy bass and slapping percussion make…

Missy Elliot has been making a slow but steady return in the past year or so. We’ve seen a number of her classic tracks remixed and sampled including in the massive Diplo & GTA hit ‘Boy Oh Boy’.
