First, Drake made it okay to feel. His embrace of emotion as subject matter made it a relief to listen to songs like ‘Lord Knows‘ off 2011’s Take Care (“I know that showin’ emotion don’t ever mean I’m a pussy“). He’s always held a reasonable standard of raw honesty in his tracks, and this made him a relatable human. Now…

Baauer has had a relatively quiet year. Aside from the Songs From Scratch collab with Fetty Wap, the Trap Kingpin hasn’t made much noise in terms of releases. Spending the bulk of his time in the studio it seems that Harry has decided it’s time to resurface. Last week he warmed things up with an exclusive mix for Triple J and…

Mind Of a Genius has been having a pretty great year. ZHU has been killing it as expected and their second signee, Gallant, has been dominating the internet with ‘Weight In Gold’ clocking nearly 2.5 million plays to date and more remixes than we could keep track of. So it doesn’t come as a surprise that they’re newest duo THEY.…

One of our favourite trap producers of 2015, KRNE, has also been moonlighting in the future bass space with release like ‘Chariots’ and ‘Royal’. Today KRNE brings us yet another futuristic effort with the release of ‘Movin’. Though it may be his least hard hitting work to date, it’s no less striking or impressive than anything he’s released. Infectious and…

Both of these tracks will sound familiar as the first is the verse The Weeknd cut from his version of ‘Tell Your Friends’ and the second is a rework of ‘Say You Will’ featuring Caroline Shaw. Coming off of the recent 808’s & Heartbreak live performance in Hollywood, it seems like Mr. West is ready to break out the auto-tune.…

As ZHU’s Genesis series continues to roll on, we’ve been given one of the most highly anticipated previews yet, his collaboration with Skrillex. ‘Working For It’ is an entrancing blend of twinkling keys, booming brass and a variety of vocals. The song also features Mind of Genius’ newest talent THEY. on the vocals. With only a minute to go off, this…

Medasin might just be this year’s most exciting break out artist. His collaborative EP Pink Polo with Masego was one of this year’s best releases and production for IshDARR and a slew of killer SoundCloud drops have proven he’s got the versatility and consistency to stick around for years to come. His latest release ‘null’ further illustrates the fact. A mixture of…

Six years ago Fabolous was preparing to drop his fifth studio album and to support the effort he dropped ‘Everything, Everyday, Everywhere’ as the third single. Accompanied by Keri Hilson and with Ryan Leslie on the production, the song with the lengthy title topped the Billboard 100. On the track, Fabolous matches the production with a melodious flow and soft punchlines…

One of Moving Castle’s founding members and strongest standout stars, Hunt For The Breeze, always delivers something major. Whether it’s the hard hitting and inescapable ‘Transmission Loop’ or explorative ‘Sky Cathedral’, you never know quite what to expect, other than quality. Proving this true once again comes ‘Call,’ a dark and eerie exploration of club music. Haunting undertones are layered…
