I first heard MEDIES when he sent us through his ‘Venus vs. French Montana’ and Lil Wayne ‘Know What I’m Doing’ remix. Both trap bangers instantly caught my ear and when I heard his Carmack-esq ‘Puhmani’ his talent became undeniable. With less than 500 followers on SoundCloud, he may be one of the best slept on producers right now. Taking a break from…

Baauer has to be the most inventive and popular producers operating within the trap realm. That said, a lot of people sleep on his early work. Possibly the most slept on and impressive tracks in his catalog is a remix of Brick + Mortar’s ‘Move to The Ocean’. First and foremost I applaud the artist for taking on such a…

If you’re not familiar with Your Old Droog here’s a quick rundown. Back in June he put out his debut EP. With little information on the artist and nothing but the music to go on, the internet had a field day with rumours swirling that Droog was actually Nas’ alias. Droog let the rumours swell for quite some time before disproving…

Every time Alex Young drops something it’s guaranteed to be quality. Whether it’s a trap banger, melodic rework or something completely different, you know it’s going to be good. His latest release, a rework of MUST DIE!’s ‘Hell Cat’ might be his most adventurous and dark production to date. The track takes listeners on a insanely wild ride that defies…

With Christmas only a month away it’s about time to get into the festive spirit and throw on some Christmas tunes. This year you can forego that tired Michael Bublé Christmas CD for a more modern Holiday listening. Thanks to the homies over at Mad Decent we have 10 tracks that perfectly incorporate the holiday cheer with your favourite electronic vibes. Whether…

There’s nothing I love more than Rap and Electronic music. So anytime the two are combined in an exciting way, I’m all about it. The most recent fusing of the two genres seems to be hard hitting Rap and Deep House. One producer at the forefront of this is LA native, Destructo, with his G-House movement. His most recent release ‘West Coast EP’…

Skrillex and Diplo’s ‘Take U There’ is one of the catchiest and most original tracks of the year. If the original wasn’t quite weird enough for you, don’t worry TroyBoi has got you. His fresh rework opens with a strong focus on Keisza’s vocals with a downplayed backdrop to build things up. The drop sounds familiar for about half second before things take a…

Every so often I come across an artist that instantly blows me away and makes me think “how is this guy not huge?” As was the case when I heard Drekmartinez. My introduction to him was ‘No LOve LOst’ a moving and inventive track that is guaranteed to please. Since its release earlier this year Drek has been on a…

“Yeah, this dedicated to Canada man, the whole up North. A lot of people don’t realize how cold it gets during the Winter.” I couldn’t think of a track more fitting, as I’m writing this while riding the bus in a snowstorm. The cut comes off of Drake’s debut mixtape Room For Improvement. This is when Drake was still working…

I’m beginning to wonder if TroyBoi ever sleeps. I can’t imagine he does, considering the vast quantity of quality music that he releases. It seems like every other week, or sometimes twice a week, he blesses listeners with a new release. Just four days after ‘The Messenger’ TroyBoi gives us ‘Remember’. The track is built around a vocal sample that carries throughout that…
