Trap/Twerk

It’s been a minute since we’ve heard a new original from STFU. Since the release of their astounding So Duh EP they’ve been killing remix after remix taking on everyone from TWRK to A-Trak. Today that changes as the production duo connect with Rell The Soundbender for ‘Gravity’. With intoxicating vocals courtesy of Gretch, things start out deceivingly slow. The lyrics center around…

Since their inception Hebinomichi has been striving to showcase forward-thinking and bass-heavy sounds. Their latest release Hebinomichi Vol 4 is no different. The 9 track effort is an out-of-this-earth exploration that pushes this idealogy to the max. Whether it’s SteLouse and Sober Rob’s auditory ‘Science’ experiment, Dabow’s breakneck trap sound or the seductive meets wonky exploration on ‘Crush,’ the commitment to…

If you love rap and filthy trap then we’ve got a track for you. The standout from the 8ER$ Cactus EP comes from Victor Niglio and P.Keys. P.Keys skates over the beat with ease. Niglio pitches and loops his vocals for a darker sound that is expanded upon with a murderous drop. The mid-section eases up giving the vocals a chance…

Mr. Carmack’s ‘Pay (For What)’ is a certified trap classic. Some would argue that its iconic status should ensure that producers stay away from ever trying to rework it. Those people would be wrong. Alexander Lewis‘ Trombone flip is proof of this. From the very first bar the rework makes you sit up in your seat as it screams “this is going to…

Belgian producer EVERLAKE is back with what could be his biggest trap anthem to date. ‘West Coast’ blends that Cali bounce with thumping 808s and some rattle the block bass. You can practically hear the candy paint dripping off this one. Stream below and be sure to grab that free download. Don’t sleep on EVERLAKE, this kid is killing it.

“Looking for reveeeeenge”. KRNE just let off his remix of Drake’s ‘Summer 16’ and you already know it’s fire. The first half allows Drake’s verse to take the spotlight with a downplayed, retooled beat and some ill vocal bends. As that second “looking for revenge” hits some vengeful brass kicks off an intense build that is followed by a fittingly…

Last month the Daruma collective announced a new compilation series entitled Agari. The focus: to help shine a light on tomorrow’s stars and break talented up-and-coming artists. Now they’ve returned with the second edition of Agari and it does not disappoint. It’s a blend of forward thinking trap and future bass that moves from ignorant and nasty to delicate and stunning. Early standouts…

In 2012 trap exploded onto the scene becoming electronic music’s hottest new genre. The rapid popularity served as a launching pad for many of today’s top artists. But with the immense support came mainstream interest. What was originally an underground sound became watered down, radio friendly and recycled. Many artists began to desert trap for the next wave (future bass or deep…

Just over a week ago, RL Grime treated fans to a powerful new original and a stellar visual in ‘Aurora’. Wasting no time, NGHTMRE has already added his own touch to the track. While the opening retains the familiar cinematic feel, the drops are completely retooled. It’s a weirder, wilder direction that blends future bass and trap in the way that…

“On and on and on and on and…” the infectious yet simplistic vocals made Fresch’s January release a quick favourite among fans and DJs alike. Giving the track new life comes a remix from Y2K. The producer traps things out, giving it a new vibe while perfectly utilizing elements from the original. Stretching the vocals before the drops gives listeners…
