It’s a new year and that means it’s time for new music. For our first #FUXWITHITFRIDAYS feature of 2015 we have an eclectic mix of party tunes to soundtrack your weekend. We kick things off with a trap banger from newcomer BeGanIE-Beatz. Next up is a genre bender from Josh Pan x Y//2//K that fuses futuristic melodies with trap drums and club drops. Other…

Japanese Wallpaper is a moniker for Australian producer Gab Strum, a multi-instrumentalist who is starting to make waves. Last week, he dropped a remix EP in support of the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre. It contains remixes from Sable, Qrion, Clubfeet, and several others. In particular, this remix of ‘Waves,’ by UV boi فوق بنفسجي catches my attention. I can’t help but…

One of our favourite new rappers of 2014, P.Keys, has just released the first visual of his Nobody EP. Opting to go for the title track, the video perfectly captures the vibe of the song: introspective, laid back and solitary. The fact that P.Keys is alone in the video really reinforces the feeling. P.Keys has been pretty quiet in terms of posting photos of himself online…

Kicking off the new year right, TroyBoi comes through with a sexy new tune. ‘No Substitute’ combines R&B vocals from Y.A.S with TroyBoi’s unique production style. The vocals make the track a bit more accessible than a large portion of his previous work. That’s not to say that it lacks creativity or bass, as this tune packs a multitude of both. Vibe…

January 1st means a new year, a fresh start and likely a pretty serious hangover. Chances are you spent last night getting turnt and are feeling the after effects right now. If you’re reading this Gatorade in hand, with screen your brightness set as low as possible than I’ve got something for you. If you’re feeling great but in the mood to…

Young Thug gathers regular associates Rich Homie Quan and PeeWee Longway on ‘Hold Us,’ a perfect track to help you segway into your normal routine after the busy holidays. Take down that tree, put away the lights, and stick all that Christmas cash in a “bankroll that won’t fold up. ” Listen below: ‘Hold Us’:  ‘Lifestyle’: 

There was once a time when I anxiously awaited the end of the year to hear Skillz do his annual ‘Rap-Up’. After it falling off my radar for a few years I was pleased to see the ‘2014 Rap-Up’ pop up. Skillz perfectly captures all the year’s biggest events from pop culture, to social and political issues. It’s the perfect…

Arman Cekin is a producer who somehow has managed to stay off my radar, that is until today. While scrolling through SoundCloud I stumbled upon his latest work, a remix of DJ Khaled’s ‘Hold You Down’. The song is absolutely irresistible and perfectly brings back the feeling of summer. Pitched vocals, shimmering synths and wonky future filled bass lines combine…

The young producer Andrew Luce has blessed us with countless impressive remixes in 2014, including ‘Candy Shop’, ‘F.D.B.’ and my personal favorite ‘Birthday Sex’. Ending the year with a bang, Luce has decided to treat fans to a rework of P Reign and Drake’s anthem ‘DNF’. As soon as you press play an inviting loop pulls you in. As we…

People really need to stop sleeping on Drek Martinez. The NY based producer is responsible for some of the best tracks of the year including ‘No Love Lost’, ‘Muse’ and a stunning remix of ‘6th Gear’. Despite the phenomenal material he’s still managed to remain under the radar (though I predict not for long). Today we are pleased to premiere his…
