For this week’s #tbt Tracks You May Have Missed we take a look at THUGLI’s flip of the Baby ft. Clipse classic ‘What Happened’. The Toronto duo absolutely bodied this one completely cutting and rearanging the track. It retains all the key elements of the original including the infamous bird call, hypnotizing synths and quick drum rolls. But with the…

It seems everything that Moving Castle drops is pure gold. So it’s no surprise that when Robokid, AObeats & Manila Killa got together with Blaise Railey for the 2.0 version of Robokid’s ‘Helix’ they took it to the next level. They are, fresh off the plane after all. The track builds on the syrupy sweet tone of ‘Helix’ but with more…

If you’ve listened to NGHTMRE’s ‘Street’ you probably thought that the track couldn’t get any harder… but then you would be wrong. LA’s NIGHTOWLS & Phoenix’s Jameston Thieves took their homie’s track and made it even filthier. With a bass house bounce, some disgusting dubbed out basslines and a ridiculous amount of wonky, this rework is next level. Don’t be…

What’s the best thing to wake up to when you’re a rap fan? A new Drake track. What’s the worst thing to wake up to when you’re Meek Mill? The exact same thing. This morning, the OVO boss dropped an almost three minute onslaught towards Meek and there are more than enough shots on this joint. So far, Meek has…

This song leaked after someone recorded the OVO Sound Radio set a couple weeks ago but today the rest of the world gets the full joint. The track comes from Toronto artist Roy Woods who has been rumoured to be the next OVO signee and features the 6 God. Drake is known for his cosigns and a lot of them…

Two weeks back we posted an incredible remix of Bryson Tiller’s ‘Let Em Know’ courtesy of J-Louis. Immediately after hearing it I thought, “I need more of this in my life”. As if J-Louis read my mind, today he unleashed a 5 track EP of Bryson Tiller remixes. The project is a perfect marriage of J-Louis’ soulful, bass heavy and…

I didn’t need Google Maps to pick out Le Belmont’s location in downtown Montreal from three blocks away, for the chittering mess of a crowd strewn outside. Muted low-hertz vibrations breached the club’s brick and glass exterior. Across the street a squad of squeegee punks ignored the honking of a police car and huddled restless around a pile of army…

After a quiet first half of 2015, it seems Palace is ready to really start making noise. The Australian producer marked his return a few weeks back with the release of ‘Too Young’ and today he returns with a remix of Vanessa Elisha’s ‘Down For This’. Building upon the captivating and emotive vocals, Palace crafts a backdrop that is immensely moving…

In a time where many see trap as having its best years behind it, KRNE and QUIX have been proving the naysayers wrong, blending Carmackian drops with futuristic synths and knocking 808s. Today the two producers have connected for a massive collab that perfectly displays their respective sounds. ‘Monuments’ is a no nonsense trap heater with just enough grandeur in…

Earlier this year we named Sam Gellaitry one of the most inventive producers out. Since then, Sam has been cementing his place on that list with every release. You would be hard pressed to find an artist who combines smooth downtempo feels with knock you out of your seat drums and percussion. ‘Long Distance’ is a perfect example, combining entrancing…
