Strasburg. 1518. A woman began dancing for seemingly no reason, non-stop, day and night. Several others joined her and soon, the dancers start to die. Mass Psychogenic Illness is the most common opinion, but modern experts still don’t completely agree on what caused this plague. Five hundred years later, the germ of this silent beast is still amongst us, crawling…

Whenever Just A Gent puts out a ‘flip’ of a song under his moniker, Just A Tune, it gets a whole new sense of life breathed into it. He’s touched on classics such as Kid Cudi‘s ‘Day N Nite‘ and ‘Killing in the Name Of‘ by Rage Against the Machine – and now, he’s taking us on a one-way trip…

229 weeks in and there’s no slowing down. Once again we’ve pulled together the best songs of the week into our Spotify and SoundCloud playlists. This week we’ve got a massive remix of ‘Light Go Down’ from Duke & Jones, a bumpin’ ‘I Like It’ flip from Dillon Francis, and that fresh collab from Wax Motif & Hunter Siegel. Looking…

From Sheffield to the Billboard’s pages, from self-releases to Majestic Casual, and landing four features in the latest Ekali Awaken Mix, Laxcity’s star is undeniably becoming brighter and brighter. With a recently announced agreement with the global booking agency APA and a full eight tracks EP coming soon, it seems our favourite introvert is ready to steal the show in…

We recently highlighted bd hbt in our Focus Five segment, telling you why you need to be on the lookout for this rising LA based duo. If that feature didn’t leave you convinced ‘Fly Boys’ should easily do the trick. Their latest release is a minimal masterwork. A stripped-down bass epic that’s mind-blowingly wonky and insanely heavy. It’s dark dungeon…

Diplo & Lil Xan‘s ‘Color Blind‘, off Diplo’s latest EP California, gets a collaborative makeover! Max Styler, pictured, and TWERL come together and showcase what made the smash tune so unique, as well as place their own twists on it for that perfect summery, dance-ready vibe. “I was stoked to work on this track with TWERL as we’ve had a…

As June reaches its end, it’s time for our monthly installment of Focus Five. As always we’ve pulled together five of our under-the-radar favorites. This month we’ve got vibey trap, crazy jazz-infused electronica, and a couple of serious heavy hitters in the bass scene. Whether you’re looking to get lost in reflection, enjoy some video-game inspired sounds or have your…

Friday is here and for our Canadian fam it’s the long weekend! Just because it’s a holiday weekend doesn’t mean we’re taking the day off. You know we’ve rounded up the best of the week for you in our Spotify & SoundCloud playlists. Highlights include that massive new Drake x Jay-Z, originals from MEMBA, Hydrualix x UZ, ilo ilo, capshun,…

Australia’s Hydraulix is one of the best in the game. His unique blend of trap and bass music never stagnates, with each project exploring new bounds and his latest is no different. The 4 song Kingdom EP has Hydraulix eyeing the crown of the bass realm. When we spoke with Hydrualix a few months back, he mentioned his upcoming EP…

Champagne Back! 2018 has been a whirlwind for Drake. Not only has he been crushing the charts with ‘God’s Plan’ and ‘Nice for What’ but he’s been in a highly publicized beef with Pusha T. Nonetheless, that hasn’t slowed the Toronto rapper from dropping his 5th studio album (not including mixtapes or collaborative projects). Scorpion boasts 25 tracks and is considered…
