Happy 4th of July to all of our American readers and those outside of the US, Happy Friday! As you’ve come to expect, we’ve got a killer set of tracks for you in this week’s #FUXWITHITFRIDAYS – Week 21. This edition features a wide selection of songs and genres. We get things started with the new remix from TWRK flipping Trippy…

Last week we posted Ben Esser’s stunning remix of Flume’s – Possum. Today Ben is back with his first original titled ‘Love You More’. The song is in a similar vein to his prior releases with an alluring and consuming vibe. The track centres around an emotional vocal sample which is bent, stretched and chopped throughout. Add in some stellar drum work and…

Alex Young is back with a perfect summery remix of Miami Horror’s – ‘Real Slow‘. The song is reminiscent of his remix of The Neighbourhood – ‘Sweater Weather’. He maintains all the great elements of the original (sweet vocals and gorgeous paino) but takes the track up a few notches with some crazy electronic infusion and perfectly placed stop-time sections. This is…

With the 4th of July holiday less than a day away, I thought it was only right that this week’s #tbt – Tracks You May Have Missed be none other than Kelis – ‘4th Of July’ (Calvin Harris Remix). Released back in the summer of 2010, this is a warm weather classic. Adding a fair bit of groove behind the vocals, the…

Throw it up! When one of the most exciting (and relatively new) producers out links up with an artist by the name of Cakes Da Killa, you can expect a song that slaps and gets you ready to party. Saint comes through with not just the original track but also his own remix – of his own track! Ha! Can’t no one…

The Imperial! New music from Statik Selektah today, and this track brings together a few dope cats. There isn’t much to say about this track, you just have to listen to it. The bars are unreal, and Black Thought commands the track like no other. There are way too many bars to quote on this one. Find this track on Statik’s…

Since the Weeknd dropped ‘Often’, I’ve been eagerly anticipating the remixes that would follow. When I saw that one of my favorite producers Andrew Luce would be putting his own spin on the track, I knew it would be an instant favourite. Andrew keeps the opening fairly true to the original letting the Weekend’s seductive vocals set the stage. It’s…

It’s been quite some time since we’ve heard new music from Baauer (aside from the track he produced for Tim Vocals) and we’ve definitely missed him. Returning with a fresh banger entitled ‘Clang’ Baauer does what he does best, combining wild and eccentric samples with heavy bass. The track contains uplifting exotic sounding synths with hard hitting drops for a…

Real shit! Jeezy and Hov dropped this gem late night/early morning and we got the song for you to bump below. The beat is produced by Cardo and both the Snowman and Jigga go in. Real shit. Check it out below.

Mass Appeal. Young Thug links up with A$AP Ferg and Freddie Gibbs on this new joint produced by Salva and Nick Hook. Right from the gate the beat gets you feeling super ignorant (Salva usually provides some dirty production). Thugger, Ferg and Gibbs all provide some catchy bars over this banger. Premiered through Mass Appeal you can stream the track below…
