UZ’s Quality Good Recordings is proving to live up to its name. After releasing EPs from UZ, Ian Munro and Tascione, they’re back with another huge release, Oski’s Kid Chrome. The project is everything we look for in a trap release in 2016. It’s hard hitting, forward thinking and balances between somewhat familiar and “what the fuck is this!?” Kid Chome kicks…

The very least that has to be said about techno is that if you don’t like it, then you probably haven’t heard Boys Noize on proper speakers.  At the Hoxton last Saturday, the in-house PK bins got a flex when the German techno/house/bass/bounce/everything producer came through and blew away the crowd. It was packed for a reason, and it’s definitely…

Em has been silent for a while now. After the release of the Shady XV album, the Detroit native hasn’t dropped much (if any) new music but it seems like as the race for Office in the US nears voting time, Slim has broken his silence. Be warned, this track is an almost 8 minute tirade where Eminem does what…

Despite the dirty vocals that TJR’s ‘Dik Work’ are built upon, I always felt the production was just a little bit too clean. Today club duo Vices have blessed us with the filthy remix we deserve. Taking this one straight to jersey, they club it out with even more “dick” samples, hard kicks and vocals chops. It’s ignorant, offense and it’s…

“What kind of music do you listen to” is the most frustrating, overused question of the 21st Century. People ask this question as if “genre” is a neatly defined term, as if all music can quickly and easily be divided into “rap” or “rock,” “alt” or “pop.” What’s worse, we live in a day and age when artists are pressured to be…

This is a signal. Out to anyone feeling dissatisfied with their current nightlife experience; The underground is alive and well. Hidden in plain sight in Toronto, Southern Ontario, and beyond, are a few locally owned sound systems, born out of the same spirit that first inspired the practice of throwing sound system-focused parties to begin. The current purveyors are an…

Anytime Baauer drops a new track it makes you want stop what you’re doing and listen. The producer’s raw talent and inventive approach have made him one of the most beloved producers in electronic music. That said, when he drops two tracks in one day, this is just multiplied exponentially. After premiering ‘Paauer’ on his Beats 1 radio show, the…

Pusha T didn’t write ‘Circles’ to be a social justice anthem. He didn’t write it to show off his lyrical chops. It is abundantly clear that Pusha T had one goal in mind when he wrote this song: to make America rage again. Pusha T takes us back to the days before Trump, before Hillary, before conscious rap was mainstream.…

Stööki Sound‘s Ösiris EP is due at the end of the month and the London duo are building some serious excitement around the release. After dropping the stellar single ‘Endz,’ Stööki return with their second track in ‘My G’s’. The cut is a raw grime record that debuts Jelacee’s vocal talents. With a steady flow and some solid bars, it…
