For almost a year, there have been highly publicized issues involving SoundCloud removing unauthorized remixes and bootlegs from their site. It’s heartbreaking and frustrating to see as a big part of what made SoundCloud so popular was the fact that artists could share their sounds without the threat of takedowns. An enormous percentage of its traffic is due to unofficial…

The other day I was browsing through SoundCloud and stumbled on Post Malone. The name caught my attention but the music kept me on the page. Though he’s only released 3 joints on the music platform (two of which are his own and a third that features his production), Post Malone is about to blow up. Here’s your chance to…

Remember Charles Hamilton? No? Remember ‘Brooklyn Girls‘? Yea, Charles Hamilton penned that track. After years of being away from the scene, the 2009 Freshman is back and is ready to bless us with some new music. He recently recorded and released a new joint with Rita Ora titled ‘N.Y. Raining’ featured on the Empire Soundtrack. As a part of his press…

About a year and a half ago, Zane Lowe of BBC Radio 1 linked up with Yeezus to talk about the album (Yeezus) and the marginalization of his creativity. That interview went on to be one of the most talked about interviews for a while. Why, you ask? Well, because it was a great interview. Zane asked all the right…

Full of self captured video and views from the 6 (see what i did there? ha!)…

In the past few years, electronic music has seen a meteoric rise in North America and around the world. Every day, YouTube and SoundCloud turn bedroom producers into household names; pop stars, making millions of dollars each year. Though the boom has been largely positive, it has led to an over-saturation and often over-simplification in the music. Producers continue to…

I often joke with my friends about living in Dartmouth, the city across the harbour from Halifax in Nova Scotia. I say that I live in Brooklyn; just a bridge away from where everything happens but I can’t afford to live. But that’s where the similarities between NYC and Halifax end. Here, locals are known for being friendly, you can…
