Part Native is a production duo that showed up on the scene in 2015, but their yearling-status is not inhibiting them from mixing some deep dirty bass with high pitched flutes and fluttering snares that are simultaneously irresistible and satiating. Both members are of Cherokee descent, and classify their sound as Cherokee Trap. Their latest release ‘Purp’ has a spicy swagger to…

KRNE is back with another track to impress us with and he’s got B. Lewis to help him. ‘PCP’ is a dexterously mixed get-down, that uses sounds from all sorts of music families. KRNE must have been bent over this Frankenstein for some time before letting it out of the lab. The complexity of this creature can seem off putting…

Gather round for the tale of Lotus’ magical two-night Halloween dance party which made the city of Buffalo glow a little brighter this weekend. It became the hottest ticket in town overnight, and after I learned my lesson, I hope you head my cautionary tale: go both nights. I had never seen Lotus live before last night. I was a…

Lotus is a band that has come into focus a few times through out my exploration of music. It is a band name I have heard uttered at some of the jam-band concerts I have been to, but have also seen them pop up when I am cruising the internet for old-school electronic sets. Not really putting it all together,…

Sweater Beats, featuring MAX Schneider- ‘Did You Wrong’- but you might have liked it.

After being on tour, shredding through the bass music scene as-per-usual, Bro Safari released a video that is getting some reactions. ‘Reality’ is a battlefield of trenches with drops that are almost satirically pinned to Sarah Hudson’s lip-smackingly sweet vocals. Trembling bass, and sticky caramel vocals rush together and unite in a sexy, slinky sound. As the video starts out…

Rockstar Energy Drinks presented Safe in Sound Festival at Buffalo Riverworks, an old grain mill that was revamped into an impressive event center, where Borgore and friends threw down vicious sets last Thursday, September 29th in Buffalo, New York.

Have you heard? Mad Decent has released a remix EP of Herobust’s I’m Aloud . With some of trap and bass’s most pioneering and freshest artists, this venture continues on Herobust‘s promised pivot into the no-man’s-land of electronic music’s misty, shadowed experimental-zone. Along with his VIP mix, Barely Alive, Spag Heddy, Wuki, and Da-bow stitch together hip-hop-esque vocals and deep electric wubbs to create a…

An impressive list of cities will receive these vagabonds including New York, Seattle, and Kansas City. The Safe…

Baauer and CZ ‘s ‘How Can You Tell When It’s Done?’ begins with a disgusting beat crafted out of an airplane doing a nose dive over and over, and someone desperately slamming on their breaks; at least, that’s what it sounds like. Baauer’s enthralling mechanical metallic style surfaces to balance out CZ’s phrenetic sound, which is allowed to undulate between slinky…
