A few months back we launched our FUXWITHIT x playlist series. The first installment featured our friends at Partica Artist Group with a healthy helping of underground trap bangers. Today we are back with a fresh edition, this time in collaboration with the homies at KUMO Collective. Known for their diverse and forward-thinking catalog, the collaborative playlist embodies this direction.…

Whenever you see a project titled something like Odyssey you’re instantly going to expect an auditory journey. Living up to those expectations comes Vancouver-based ATYYA‘s newest body of work. Over the span of 8 tracks, the producer explores a variety of different sonic terrains and moods while maintaining a strong sense of cohesion. Melodic and mellow are two common threads…

Few artists possess the transportive musical mastery found in thook‘s work. Forget typical bangers, thook is crafting highly detailed moving scenes with each release. His newest work DAWN doubles down on this approach forgoing big stage bops for cinematic slappers sprinkled with his signature dust. ‘HOW MANY PPL LISTEN’ is a slow-burning, tension-building introduction that sets the stage for the project.…

Denver-based DMVU is a master of auditory manipulation. Conjuring sounds from different dimensions and translating them into a frequency that us simple earthlings can appreciate. Connecting with Wakaan for his newest project The Chain, the 8-track effort is nothing short of brain-bending. The introduction ‘Erythraeum’ welcomes listeners to a dystopian world in the not-so-distant future. The earth is no longer…

Great Dane is back with a bang(er). ‘75% alcohol’ is raw and rugged but still goes down so damn smooth. The first single off Dane’s upcoming Consider The Source sets the tone and the bar very high. Relentless underground rap vocals slap you from the jump and carry throughout. The first half packs an expertly off-kilter Westcoast bounce that flirts…

If you’re looking for some fresh house music, you need to get familiar with spüke. First landing on my radar with ’emanate’ off Bonsai’s debut compilation, the track went from a standout to a staple in my summer rotation. It’s breezy and smooth while maintaining a futuristic and wonky feel. Its powerful vocals and keys provide an emotional appeal that…

T-R-O-Y-B-O-I. Anytime you hear the letters spelled out over a track you know it’s going to be incredible. The Boi simply does not miss. For years Troy has been blessing us with nothing but heat and 2021 is no different. From his most recent EP, to dropping 3 tracks in a day and letting off a ‘MADTING,’ he’s truly making…
