Two weeks until Halifax Pop Explosion and I’m trying to force-feed myself all of the music that I could see that I’ve never heard. It’s definitely a normal routine for me. One of the several acts I’ve discovered during this routine is a young brother/sister duo from Edmonton, Alberta named Tennyson. Their track ‘You’re Cute’ was championed by Ryan Hemsworth’s ‘Secret Song’s’…

Drums inside my head. Make sure you turn up the volume before you press play. We featured SLOWOLF earlier this year in an Artist Spotlight and yesterday the producer from Copenhagen dropped a remix of a fellow Denmark resident’s track.The original track is from MO and it stands solid on its own – but this flip from SLOWOLF is stunning. The…

ETC!ETC! is back with a bang! His latest tune entitled ‘Payola’ is straight up hard hitting trap sh*t. From the outset the energy is high and it only gets more fierce. The drops are deeper than Jaden Smith’s Twitter feed and the samples are straight raw. The track is available for free download as part of Shifty Rhythms – Volume…

On a Tuesday! As if Drake jumping on I Love Makonnen’s ‘Tuesday’ wasn’t enough, one of the hottest producers out, DJ Snake, decided to put his own spin on the tune. The remix sees Snake foregoing the banging, turnt up direction one might have expected and taking a melodic and wavy approach. The Parisian producer does bring in some raw…

Satin Sheets x Silk Beats is back! Volume 8 does not disappoint featuring carefully selected tracks with silky smooth synths, beautiful vocals, seductive strings and generous amounts of bass. It’s the finest collection of Mellow Trap, Future Bass and Jersey Club you’ll encounter. The eighth edition features music from eSenTRIK, Jailo, rysk, PHAZZ, Cashmere Cat, YGSP and more. We guarantee this is some of the most beautiful, refreshing…

If you’re still not familiar with Quest, you better get acquainted. The Florida emcee recently released one of the best rap projects of the year in Searching Sylvan. Actually it’s the album of the year (so far) so don’t sleep. Now before you go ahead and bump that, you might as well check out his new track ‘Back & More’ which dropped today. It…

The Goons are back. The Toronto/St. Louis duo come through with a fresh remix of Bobby Grant’s ‘Ride With Us’. The subject matter and lyrics are simplistic but infectious. With some sweet synth work, vocal loops and hard hitting percussion, Goon Bags infuse some serious energy into the track. It’s the perfect anthem for cruising around the city. Stream and free download below.…

Our favourite French Future Bass producer Dakat is back. Hooking up with Icy Lust for ‘Jaguares’. Muted vocals samples, atmospheric accents, trancendant synths, and fierce percussion bring this one together. If you’re familiar with Dakat’s previous releases (‘Escape’, ‘Stability’, ‘Kerajaan’) the sound should come as no surprise, that is until the final act, when things take a pretty wild turn.…

LA based producer and Athletixx member Promnite has just released a free “14 track collection of ideas, loops & rarities”. The project is entitled Going Steady Vol. 1 and it contains the instrumentals of his ‘Threatz’ and ‘Used to Be (Unity)’ reworks, his ‘Happy Birthday Paper Diamond’ track and a bunch of other previously unreleased material. Going Steady Vol. 1 isn’t available for stream,…

Keep it trill. Now this is easily one of the hardest rap records of the year. In celebration of his 26th birthday, Flacko dropped a new joint including a visual. I’ve said it but I have to say it again, “Multiply” is easily one of the hardest rap records of the year. This is Rocky’s “0-100”. This is Rocky letting everybody…
