Trap/Twerk

New Zealand’s QUIX has been on our radar for quite some time. After first impressing us with his filthy ‘Move That Dope’ remix, he’s continued to evolve and improve. Last year we named him one of the top artists pushing trap music forward and with the release of his debut EP he lives up to that spot and more. Heaps Cool is a 6 track EP…

GLD shows off their dirty bass drops and boundary-pushing style in a chaotic four track debut EP. This duo, Matthew Christian and Jacob Holzman, hailing from Waterbury, CT has been in it since 2014 and have made good on their promises to redefine electronic music through their debut  four track project au_79. Influenced by some of electronic music’s contemporary artists such as Flosstradamus,…

JNTHN STEIN and Mr. Carmack are two artists that you never quite know what to expect from them (except quality of course). While their solo projects always amaze, it’s quite a treat to see them come together for a new collab. ‘Who Cares’ is a moving composition that manage to explore a myriad of emotional angles. It opens melancholy and…

YehMe2 has been making some serious waves since his departure from Flosstradamus. His Drake & Gucci flip has clocked over 200k plays and he’s 25 days into his stellar beat a day challenge #2. He’s gearing up to unleash his Steal This Mixtape Vol. 2 but before doing so he’s blessed fans with an official remix of Anna Lunoe &…

Salt Lake City duo X&G have been consistently pushing the boundaries of bass music. Underscoring this once more comes ‘Safe’. Don’t let the title fool you, they’ve never played it safe with their and this is no anomaly. Ragged guitars riffs, beastly bellows, neck-snapping drums, and a hypnotizing underlying soundscape make this a magnificently dark banger. Get weird with X&G…

Hydroski is back! Frequent collaborators Hydraulix and Oski have linked up once again for a fresh slapper. ‘Lose it’ has up-and-coming Seattle spitter Macntaj skating over a heavy beat with charismatic swagger. The beat drops out midway through the verse to let Mac’s lyrics serve as the focal point and also build greater anticipation for the drop. It’s no surprise…

THEY.’s ‘U-RITE’ has been steadily rocking clubs, playlists and my headphones since it’s release. Giving the track a new dynamic comes a dark and dirty rework from Louis Futon. It packs the infectious raps of the OG while injecting some insane bass. It’s been a minute since Louis Futon unleashed something so sinister but ‘U-RITE’ proves he hasn’t lost his…

BINKS may seem like a new name in the trap scene but he’s actually an OG. As half of Pyramid Juke he helped shape the genre and unleashed a myriad on monster tunes including the Ookay assisted slapper ‘Yen’. Despite the strong reputation and fan base the duo built, they eventually landed at a crossroads, with the two members wanting different…

Daruma has been consistently putting out stellar releases and continually working to break new talent. It seems their consistency has caught the eye of Mad Decent’s Good Enuff label, as the two have just joined forces for an incredible 5 track EP. Ocular & Tonton’s ‘Drifting Apart,’ opens the project with a stunning vibey soundscape that feels like sunset lounging…

“Witches try to curse me with they voodoo,” the hypnotizing vocal loop of Animals In The Room and MVSQs ‘Voodoo’ perfectly encapsulates the feeling of the track. It’s an exploration of the dark arts that’s magical and scary. The track is possessed with violent synths, abusive bass and pounding percussion. It packs an ancient mystique with some futuristic mind-fuckery for…
