I’ll never forget the day I realized how badly I want to visit Australia. It’s my sophomore year of college and I’m driving around with my buddy Chris, complaining about how all of the rap in our frat house sounds the same. He agrees, and puts on a song that opens up a whole new world for me: ‘Chase That…

Rockstar Energy Drinks presented Safe in Sound Festival at Buffalo Riverworks, an old grain mill that was revamped into an impressive event center, where Borgore and friends threw down vicious sets last Thursday, September 29th in Buffalo, New York. I had never been to this venue since I have only come back to my home town last year, and have not…

Futuristic electronic music and hip-hop are two of my favourite musical genres. Anytime a project brings both of those things together, it finds a special place in my heart. On Tax Free Toby does just that. The opening track ’17’ is a blend of tender vocal bends, sparkly synths and a touch of nostalgic reflection. It’s the perfect opener, exciting…

When I saw Cashmere Cat was dropping a new track on Friday I was ecstatic. When I saw it features Tory Lanez and Selena Gomez, my heart sank a little. No disrespect to Tory Lanez, he’s dope. But it doesn’t get more poppy than Selena Gomez. Barring that in mind, I was still optimistic, this is Cashmere Cat after all. After clicking…

When artists of NGHTMRE and LOUDPVCK‘s magnitude come together for a collab the hype is bound to be insane. Thankfully NGHTMRE and LOUDPVCK seemed well aware of this, and took the opportunity to prove the hype is justified. ‘Click Clack’ isn’t a club banger, it’s a straight up slaughter. “Click Clack bitch move back,” is a warning shot to listeners…

With his Everything album due out next week (10/7), Lido has unleashed yet another stellar single in ‘Dye’. It’s Lido’s third single (see ‘Crazy’ & ‘Murder’) and by far his most vocally driven. Relying mostly on his own vocals, the lyrics are simple but catchy. The underlying production further propels this one forward, with the vocals serving as one piece of…

Mura Masa‘s ‘Lovesick Fuck’ is one of the UK producer’s most recognizable and impressive tracks to date. The combination of emotionally gripping vocals, upbeat synths and hip-hop core made it as undeniable as it was unique. Giving the track a second set of wings, comes a fresh interpretation that sees A$AP Rocky dropping verses. It’s solid update for 2016 and with…

Carlos Coleman, aka “Los” or “King Los,” has been active since 1999. He’s put out more than ten mixtapes and albums in that time. And I’ll bet that a good portion of our readers have never even heard of him. I’m here to change that. I first heard about King Los in an interview with one of my favorite rappers…

Have you heard? Mad Decent has released a remix EP of Herobust’s I’m Aloud . With some of trap and bass’s most pioneering and freshest artists, this venture continues on Herobust‘s promised pivot into the no-man’s-land of electronic music’s misty, shadowed experimental-zone. Along with his VIP mix, Barely Alive, Spag Heddy, Wuki, and Da-bow stitch together hip-hop-esque vocals and deep electric wubbs to create a…
