Coming at you right now to add to your listening pile for the weekend is Faith, a truly outstanding debut EP from electronic artist Haides. With his tracks incorporating elements of synth-pop and future bass, be sure to check out each of the four tracks that make up this piece. ‘Open’ is a progressive, somehow urgent start to proceedings, layering repeated…

The trend of pop-leaning future bass is becoming too delightful to resist. The most recent artist to dabble in the sound with success is none other than Ramzoid. Connecting with Haley Sheffield, the two deliver a tune that is as enchanting as its title. ‘Firefly’ exudes summer from it’s first note and builds upon the atmosphere exceptionally. It’s sultry, smooth and almost…

After some time off, RL Grime has returned to the spotlight. He first reappeared with ‘Reims’ last month and today he is back with Miguel for ‘Stay For It’. The track is an emotional epic that is guided by Miguel’s impassioned vocals. RL Grime build around his voice, crafting the perfect compliments, from piano solos to chest pounding builds, mesmerizing bridges and…

If trap slappers are your vibe then we’ve got something for you. HOUNDS & SENOJNAYR just collided for an absolutely beastly record in ‘Wrath’. As the title might suggests, it’s mean, menacing and maniacal. The dark soundscape from the intro drifts into raw dungeoness bass. While the first drop may be harder, the second packs a street swagger that elevates…

New Zealand’s QUIX has been on our radar for quite some time. After first impressing us with his filthy ‘Move That Dope’ remix, he’s continued to evolve and improve. Last year we named him one of the top artists pushing trap music forward and with the release of his debut EP he lives up to that spot and more. Heaps Cool is a 6 track EP…

I keep telling people that X&G are at the forefront of electronic music; easily one of the most innovative duos out. And they keep proving this opinion to be truer with every release. Their most recent track sees them connecting with frequent collaborator josh pan. Josh delivers angelic and floaty vocals over a chilling tapestry. This motif gives way to…

Toronto’s staple concert/picnic series, Electric Island, made a return for its 5th year on Victoria Day. The season opener was held at Woodbine Park due to recent rains; despite this, the event went off flawlessly, as we got a proper welcome to festival season. The first of the 4-part summer series played host to fan favourites Ben Klock, Joris Voorn,…

He’s teased us with tracks from the EP for the last few weeks, and now finally Oski’s Kid Calamity has arrived as a full release through Quality Goods Records. Managing to bridge the gap between bass and trap in his very own unique way, this four-track outing has us fully on board. Each track on the collaboration is an electrifying musical…

The Black Tiger Sex Machine original track ‘Face Down’ featuring Panther is revamped by some of the dirtiest bass-gremlins lurking out there. This three track EP, released by Kannibalen Records, brings RIOT TEN x Cyberpunk, SUB-Human, and Crystalize together on one list of hyper-aggressive, dark electro that is sure to recruit new members to the The Church of BTSM. RIOT TEN…
