“Looking for reveeeeenge”. KRNE just let off his remix of Drake’s ‘Summer 16’ and you already know it’s fire. The first half allows Drake’s verse to take the spotlight with a downplayed, retooled beat and some ill vocal bends. As that second “looking for revenge” hits some vengeful brass kicks off an intense build that is followed by a fittingly…

Last month the Daruma collective announced a new compilation series entitled Agari. The focus: to help shine a light on tomorrow’s stars and break talented up-and-coming artists. Now they’ve returned with the second edition of Agari and it does not disappoint. It’s a blend of forward thinking trap and future bass that moves from ignorant and nasty to delicate and stunning. Early standouts…

Big Wild has become synonymous with Summer time sounds. From ‘La Brisa’ to ‘Hey Mami’ and ‘Aftergold,’ his music embodies that warm weather exuberance like no other. Yet another release to encompass this feeling is his latest remix for CHVRCHES. ‘Empty Threat’ blends moving vocal tones with warm worldly textures for a sound that is as liberating and joyous as…

In 2012 trap exploded onto the scene becoming electronic music’s hottest new genre. The rapid popularity served as a launching pad for many of today’s top artists. But with the immense support came mainstream interest. What was originally an underground sound became watered down, radio friendly and recycled. Many artists began to desert trap for the next wave (future bass or deep…

THEY.‘s break out single ‘Motley Crue’ was one of the best releases of 2015 (number 52 on our list). Since its release it’s seen a plethora of remixes but none truly lived up to the original. That is until I came across this new rework from X&G. For those unfamiliar Xian and Gaszia, the Salt Lake City based duo have…

Just over a week ago, RL Grime treated fans to a powerful new original and a stellar visual in ‘Aurora’. Wasting no time, NGHTMRE has already added his own touch to the track. While the opening retains the familiar cinematic feel, the drops are completely retooled. It’s a weirder, wilder direction that blends future bass and trap in the way that…

“On and on and on and on and…” the infectious yet simplistic vocals made Fresch’s January release a quick favourite among fans and DJs alike. Giving the track new life comes a remix from Y2K. The producer traps things out, giving it a new vibe while perfectly utilizing elements from the original. Stretching the vocals before the drops gives listeners…

Mr. Carmack & Promnite just dropped a new track. I shouldn’t really have to say more as anytime these two get together, or drop solo works for that matter, it’s a guaranteed must listen. ‘FDT’ is a gumbo of triumphant trap, futuristic breaks and Spanish bounce. In case you were wondering ‘FDT’ does in fact stand for FUCK DONALD TRUMP a…

No stranger to experimenting across genres, Dallas based producer The Hi-Yahs has taken on almost every style of electronic music, from nu-disco to trap, future bass to Jersey club. His latest release takes his multi-genre mantra one step further combining all of those genres on one track. ‘No Bums’ is a myriad of sounds and styles that are stitched together…
