Quality Goods Records are creators of the kind of the music their name suggests, and last year saw some absolute bangers get served up through the label founded by bass bad-man UZ. The gang opens 2017 in similar style, and their first release is a multi-artist compilation, QGRC-002. Landing in full on January 20th, one of the album’s most notable…

If you’re a fan of Mr. Carmack or QUIX then you need to get up on Keenan Mathias. The producer has been killing SoundCloud on the low for the past few months with tracks like ‘critical,’ & ‘busta bus’. His latest monster is entitled ‘maple’. The track smashes together Riff Raff vocals with industrial filth, hypnotizing melodies and bolstering bass. It’s…

Gladiator low key murdered 2016. From their stellar Transit EP, to the barrage of boundary pushing singles (‘Half Moon,’ ‘Berserk,’ ‘Plug’) they proved that they’re still at the top of their game. It looks like 2017 will see more of the same, as the duo return with another stellar single in ‘Sierra’. The track embodies the great outdoors, crafting a worldly…

KRANE is back with another letter in his name (note the a) and a collab with Ekali. The highly anticipated ‘Akira’ is everything you’d hope for from two of the most talented rising producers out. Cold keys and breathy soundscapes are interwoven with snapping snares for an auditory experience that feels like trekking across frozen tundra. Don’t let the desolate build fool…

Flosstradamus’ ‘Came Up’ was the 2016 anthem for making it. Featuring vocals from Post Malone and Key! plus production from graves & Fki 1st, the tune was yet another example of the power of collabs. Giving the tune some 2017 legs comes an official remix pack. Kicking things off comes a high energy flip from Jorgen Odegard. It’s a blend of…

Last January, Herobust set the game on fire with his groundbreaking EP I’m Aloud. Looking to kick 2017 off with a similar intensity comes a new single and the announcement of new EP. The title track ‘Vertebreaker’ builds upon on his dirty south meets dubstep sound even further, delivering with industrial sound design and hype vocals. This is that 11/10…

Australian producer Shivaji continues to impress with his latest release ‘Torch.’ The track’s opening feels like a lazy afternoon out in the ocean; swimming about as the sun’s rays warm your skin. The feeling is fleeting as an undertow of darkness slips in and something from the depths begins pulling you down. Before you know what hits you, you’re in…

For the past week and a half LuckyMe has been rolling out free tracks as part of their annual Advent series. Today we received the biggest release to date, the highly anticipated ‘CandyMan’ from Baauer. As mentioned in the song’s description, it was actually recorded in the room with Fetty Wap while they created ‘Promises’ (they even have a version…

ATL producer and trap OG Mayhem is back to show us the future. A pioneer in the (electronic) trap space, Mayhem has always worked to push the sound forward. As he gears up for the release of his upcoming album 2083, it seems he’s looking to take that even further. Today he unleashed the title track; a fittingly futuristic genre bender. With…

Yagi (formerly MikeyR) landed on our radar earlier this year when we premiered ‘Hold On’. Since then, he’s been grinding hard, pumping out tunes and building his catalog. With a new album on the way early next year, Yagi is back with a beastly new single in ‘hiLITe’. When those dark keys hit you in the intro, it’s hard not…
