Mr. Carmack is back! The legendary producer who is widely renowned for creating the dark trap sound so many of our favorite artists have built upon, just dropped a new single. ‘Solutions’ is a short trip that gives listeners a taste of his upcoming Red EP, which is slated to drop later this month. The track is everything you would expect: break…

In a time where music doesn’t sell as well as it used to, online presence is more important than a record deal and followers equal dollars, artists have been finding new ways to garner attention and be “discovered”. If you’re an artist of any sort, how you operate online is almost as important as your art. While the playing field has…

The highly anticipated debut EP from Electric Mantis has arrived. Braincase is a 5 track effort that takes listeners on an entrancing and mind-altering journey. It’s the audio equivalent of doing LSD in an underwater cavern. ‘Pixel Wave’ sets the tone perfectly; blending the sounds of running water with gorgeous keys, shimmering synths, hard hitting bass and even a few…

It seems the list of LA House artists that are killing it right now seems to grow each day. The latest addition is production duo Boots N Pants. Taking on LondonBridge’s ‘Diddy’s House’ they bang out a deep house anthem primed for the clubs. The catchy lyrics take listeners to after parties at celebrity homes (hence then title). The beat…

Former trap lords Gladiator continue their exploration of new sounds with a fresh official remix for Kehlani. ‘The Way’ is an interesting blend of summer synths, sultry vocals, west coast bounce and downtempo breaks. The upbeat sound is completely stripped away as Chance the Rapper comes in, creating a darker desolate feel. As the verse closes the track once again…

With the release of Major Lazer’s Peace Is the Mission earlier this week, we figured we’d look at a track from Diplo’s Caribbean inspired project for this week’s Tracks You May Have Missed. Though many are familiar with the 2013 hit ‘Get Free’ they may have missed the remix featuring J. Cole. The track serves as an interesting backdrop for Cole…

In the span of a month, CRNKN has released a slew of incredible remixes including ‘Lean On’, ‘Gold Dust’, & ‘Just Like’. Today he returns with yet another, taking on Sam Gellaitry’s ‘Waiting So Long’. The track opens with a smooth melody that picks up with a steady drum build and vocal chops. A whistle and  brief pause give way to a…
