Black EL’s debut project is finally here! If you’re a frequent reader of our site you’ve probably heard a couple of his tracks already (‘Garcia Vega’, ‘Golden Child’, ‘Do Not Distrub’ ). If not, it’s about time you get familiar with the Boston rapper. His Space Wave sound is as smooth as warm butter on popcorn and just as hard to…

What’s better than a great remix of an already stellar song? How about 4 killer remixes of that song? Parisian producer R-ASH has just got his sexy Future R&B track ‘I Own You’ reworked by Vices, Yung Wall Street, Bames and UN*DEUX. Each track brings a unique flavour with the Vices rework containing stellar vocal chops, hard hitting kicks and drippy synths.…

Coming straight out of the Netherlands Formil is an artist you’ve probably never heard of but will start seeing more often on our site. His latest release ‘Toasted Sandwich’ opens with a progressive and overtly happy build. Don’t get too comfortable because things get gritty pretty quick with a bass heavy trapped out drop. The track then mellows out and…

Legendary emcee Talib Kweli not only prides himself on his amazing skills as an artist but also for his ear for upcoming talent. Considering the fact that Kweli was an early supporter of many of the new school greats (Kanye West, J. Cole, Kendrick Lamar) in 2012 he founded his own label, Javotti Media, with the goal of helping to break new artists. Cathedral is…

Girl Trapz is back! If you aren’t familiar with the mix series it’s about time you take a listen. Benzi’s mixture of Chill Trap, Jersey Club and Future Bass is nothing short of spectacular. The original Girl Trapz played a key role in shaping our site as it served as an introduction to Jersey Club and Future Bass for me…

One of the reasons why I love remixes so much is that they allow you to enjoy music by artists you otherwise would not. One of the greatest examples of this is Branchez breakout bootleg of Rihannna’s ‘Stay’. I’m in no way a Ri-Ri fan but I had that track on repeat for a good portion of 2013. Now Branchez has…

London based producer TroyBoi continues his work to keep the Trap/Bass scene interesting and inventive. Every release features unique sounds, obscure samples and neck breaking bass. His latest release ‘The Messenger’ is a prime example. A smooth dream-like intro pulls you in before TroyBoi slaps you across the face with a bass filled drop that is distinct but very reflective…

Let me preface this by saying that this isn’t quite in line with what we regularly post. I’ve never listened to the Strokes and haven’t really taken the time to get into Vaski. When I first decided to give it a listen, I didn’t know what to expect, but I must admit I was pleasantly surprised. The track opens with an…

Rae Sremmurd ‘No Type’ has to be one of the hottest tracks of the year. How could it get even hotter? How about a remix from LA based twerk kingpin Party Favor? Building off the catchy vocals of the original, the producer picks up the tempo. The first half is more laid back than one would expect and it isn’t until…

Sam Gellaitry is an artist who I have had an eye on for quite some time. Over the past few months he has been killing it on the low with a ton of impressive SoundCloud uploads. The 17 year old Soulection producer’s latest release ‘business’ is a can’t miss. The track opens with Angel-esq vocals that are accompanied by gritty hip-hip…
