Trap/Twerk

Alexander Lewis’ talents continue to increase with time. ‘Clockwise’ puts this on full display with a genre-bending ride that’ll leave you in awe. Opening with a soulful vocal sample, it quickly gets looped as snapping drums are overlaid. As the beat builds, newcomer Nick Row (KRANE’s ‘PCP’) drops some hot bars. Fitting the songs concept, Row rips through the hours…

Toronto trio Keys N Krates are back with the release of their debut album Cura. With only 9 tracks, the group opts to focus on quality over quantity. This comes as a fresh breath in the streaming era. The quality is what we’ve to expect from KnK but the sound veers in a new direction. Their signature is still carried…

Thook continues to cement his status as one of the best rising producers out with the release ‘Forest’. Like his previous works, it’s beautiful and ugly at once. It packs a regal, ready-for-war type feel and the type of sound design that’ll leave your brain bent. It’s hard hitting trap music that is distinctly his own; perfectly towing the line…

Black Tiger Sex Machine is showing no signs of letting up on their pledge to dark electro with their latest single ‘Zombie’ ft. fellow Québécois, Panther, off their newest album, New Worlds. New Worlds was inspired by BTSM’s idea that music is a journey, they explained in an Instagram post. They excitedly wrote that, “New Worlds encapsulates that idea. It’s…

Earlier this month QUIX came through with an absolute monster in ‘Storm.’ It’s the type of track that makes you think, “damn this couldn’t get any harder.” Unless of course you’re Hydraulix and you decide to make it your mission to prove that it in fact can. His remix twists the electric energy of the original into an even darker…

Portland producer Yung Bae had a pretty severe case of disco fever with his releases throughout last year, yet has decided to switch things up for 2018. His remix of Kendrick Lamar‘s ‘DNA.‘, off of last year’s smash album DAMN., takes the hype down a few notches, but still knows how to bring the room to life and get everybody…

Mr. Turn Down For What, Lil Jon, is back with his most raucous record in a minute with ‘Alive’. With Party Favor, & FKi 1st on the beat and features from Offset and 2 Chainz, this has club smash written all over it. Lil Jon kicks the track off screaming at you about how good life is. It’s exactly what…

Every year for the past few years has been heralded as the year Moombahton comes back. And every year some Moombahton records make waves but ultimately the genre never fully re-ignites. It looks as though Dillon Francis may be trying to change that with his new release ‘Ven’. The track blends Dillon’s Moombahton roots with the continually growing Latin Trap…

Vincent is back with a remix that’s sure to slaughter sets for the forseeable future. The rework builds on the strong foundation of Blaise’s ‘Dua,’ carrying over the icy piano and infectious hook, while injecting in an absurd amount of energy. When the bass and snapping drums come in just before the one minute mark, you’ll think “damn this goes…

Yet another Crystals artist to wow us in 2018 is none of than ELEX. First catching our ear with ‘Slow Death,’ he’s now snatched our full attention with the release of his new EP EDM Vegan. The five track effort is laced with booming bass and jam-packed with slappers. ‘Local’ gets the party started with a bouncy energy, killer vocal bends…
