Trap/Twerk

We’ve been championing TroyBoi since we started our site. Truly one of the most interesting and inventive producers in bass music, the Londoner has been having a stellar breakout year. Adding to the fact is his latest release, the highly anticipated collaboration with Diplo and Nina Sky ‘After Hours’. When your favourite artists begin to make it big there’s always…

The man in the golden mask, UZ, is back with a fresh flip of Gia’s ‘Only A Girl’. The remix opens with a laid back chill trap vibe that slowly heats up with some summery synths. As the track adds some warmth, the vocals begin to shift, bending into a bouncy vocal chop with some hard hitting 808s and bass.…

Film Noir has been taking over 2015. If you’re not familiar with the collective, it’s about time you stop sleeping. The crew features some of the hottest new producers out including BNJMN, Krs., oshi, Medasin, Alexander Lewis & more. Their latest release is a perfect introduction to what they are about. ‘What I Like’ comes from BNJMN, Krs. & DutchBoy. The track…

Smookie Illson are back! The homies responsible for one of the best Missy Elliot remixes of 2015 just dropped a new EP. ‘Skrilla’ features 3 new originals and a remix of the title track. Kicking things off is ‘Skrilla,’ a high energy trap anthem that’s destined to find its way into sets from the likes of Flosstradamus and GTA. ‘Ride’…

Medasin just doesn’t let up. After blowing our minds with The Pink Polo EP, he blessed IshDARR with the stunning production on ‘Sugar’ and got gritty on ‘Got That’. Keeping the incredible momentum rolling, Medasin flips Gramatik’s ‘Native Son’. Long gone are the mellowed funky feels of the original. The rework goes straight to the streets centering the track around…

Opening with slow drums and the sounds of nearing train horns ‘Fareye’ is difficult to predict. As a synth pattern creeps in the track opens up to a swelling low end drop complete with dubbed out vocal samples and knocking 808’s. Midway through things speed up and veer into jersey (club) with quick kicks and vocals chops leading the way.…

Flipping a track by Keys N Krates is no easy feat, flipping one of their most iconic releases is even more risky. But after a year of murdering tracks it looks like NGHTMRE was up for the challenge. Taking on ‘Dum Dee Dum’ the LA producer revitalizes the tune with retooled drums, deeper bass and some vocal chops that are…

If you were lucky enough to attend Keys N Krates epic birthday bash earlier this month, then you probably remember hearing the world premiere of their new single ‘I Know U’. For those who missed it, don’t worry, the official release is here! The new tune teeters on the brink of future bass with some hip-hop and trap elements. Unsurprisingly the title comes from…

Mr Carmack’s influence is undeniable. Every young artist creating gritty, dark trap music is a student of the legendary producer in some shape, form or fashion. One of the brightest pupils of this school is Woolymammoth. The San Francisco based beat maker was a shoo-in for our Most Inventive Producers feature and each release continues to cement his position on…

The last time TWRK and Lambo connected they knocked it out of the park with ‘Make It Bounce’. Looking to outdo themselves they return with ‘Independent’. Opening with twerked out drums and a middle eastern inspired flavour, it seems like typical fare for the 100 BPM kings and rising Canadian producer Lambo. But don’t get confused this isn’t your typical TWRK…
