Trap/Twerk

Back in 2015 we named Sam Gellaitry one of the most inventive producers out. Since then he’s consistently proven he deserves a spot on that list in perpetuity. Earlier this year he gave us the beautifully cinematic escapism III and now he’s blessed us once again with a new batch of tunes. The past week has seen Sammy G dropping…

If you’re unfamiliar with um.. it’s due time that you became acquainted. The LA based duo are one of the most inventive and exciting acts to grace our radar this year. Their new EP a dogs tale is a testament to this truth. The four track project is a bass-heavy journey into a new dimension. Each track is a collaborative effort with…

Skrillex and Habstrakt’s ‘Chicken Soup’ has become one of the biggest tracks of the year. You can’t go to a festival or show without hearing it rinsed out at least once or twice. Giving the track even more staying power comes a new rework from up-and-coming Phoenix producer Cubed. Cubed spices it up with some epic builds, exotic flutes and…

Drake and DJ Khaled’s ‘To The Max’ is the summer smash that never quite happened. After teasing the Drake vocals for months, Khaled dropped the song ahead of his latest album to mixed reviews (I personally love it). Compounding this came issues around uncleared samples which led to it being removed from streaming platforms around the world. With the speed…

Slow Roast Records has a knack for finding under the radar standouts. Just take STFU and Palmer Reed as examples. Their latest find is a massive collaboration from German producers Rafik & Karol Tip. ‘Bolt’ is a beastly track that strikes with an insane electricity. Militant drums collide with drunken synths and some cavernous bass. Underlying brass gives it a…

Being released via their SoundCloud as well as other reputable digital outlets, feisty Brazilian pair Tropkillaz – fresh off the back of their huge collab with DJ Snake – drop the fantastically titled TCHUM TCHAH! EP. Filled with their signature sound but with a mish-mash of influences thrown in for good measure (including trap, Moombahton and progressive house), it’s a…

Canadian producer Hounds is hot off a merciless collab with SENOJNAYR and is showing no signs of relenting. His latest original ‘Taken’ is an all out slaughter. It’s colder than the winters in Calgary…but far more exciting. The soundscape is something between a horror movie score, the backing to an ancient battle scene and a futuristic slapper. All that is…

alt-J‘s unique sound can serve as the perfect foundation for any talented remixer. Lido proved it with his flip of ‘Left Hand Free’ and today Baauer cements the fact with a remix of ‘In Cold Blood’. On this remix, Baauer builds the perfect backdrop. It’s a triumphant trap sound with futuristic leanings that still manages to retain an indie feel.…

London trap legends Stööki Sound are fresh of their Off The Endz tour and that means it’s time for new music. The first single from their upcoming EP sees them linking up with Philly MC Bok Nero. ‘Burbs’ has Jelacee trading bars with Nero over a boomin’ beat. With each rap release Jelacee’s vocals impress and this is no different.…

thook has been slaughtering SoundCloud on the low with tracks like ‘ROAD BOI 7’ and ‘Flight Mode pt1’. ‘8 Zone’ is yet another example of his talent. The track is an infusion of underlying  sci-fi synths, ragged bass, snapping 808s and a sprinkling of strange samples. ‘8 Zone’ finds itself somewhere between a medieval massacre, a gritty NY basement party…
