Quality Goods Records superstar Ian Munro totes a far more impressive list of accomplishments than his humble SoundCloud following of 20,000 suggests.

Malakia Torres, better known as Edekit is a Hawaiian producer pushing the boundaries of bass music. Born on the Big Island, he spent his life growing up in the tropical paradise. That is until last year when a volcanic eruption brought him to the mainland. Despite the traumatic event, Edekit was able to find a silver lining, “The lava flow…

It’s the Method Man, for short – Mr. Meth. Method Man has always been one of my personal favourites. Aside from his days with Wu-Tang, Meth has maintained lyrical prowess and a dope ass flow. ‘Even If’ was a track that a lot of folks and fans probably missed.

Always at the forefront of the music scene, CRAZE started his BEATS mix series back in 2016 as the sound was just emerging. When he reached out to a producer friend who was spearheading the movement and asked what the genre was called, he was told, “That’s the thing…there’s no name to this genre…they’re just beats.” The name and sound…

Canadian DJ and Producer Grandtheft has been a FUXWITHIT favourite since our inception. From his iconic remixes (‘Sweet Nothing, ‘Summer’), to massive originals like ‘Keep It 100,’ ‘Sneaky’ and ‘Butterscotch,’ when Grandtheft sets out to make a club-killer he never fails. 2018 has seen Grandtheft taking a lighter approach with pop-leaning releases ‘Square One’ and ‘She Knows’.
