Trap/Twerk

KRNE has paired up with Jupe on ‘Seventeen’, releasing not just another banger, but an expertly crafted Trap track. ‘Seventeen’ begins with a sample that is reminiscent of a Middle Eastern desert: a flute, twinkle of chimes, and bongo-like percussion. As you are being lead into the dunes, the lashes of a windstorm start to rise up, the light’s been blotted out, and…

“From the states to the UK, yeah we get it poppin’,” the opening bars from Rezza set this one off perfectly. The collaborative effort sees London producer Épais and Florida rapper Rezza joining forces for a banger. ‘Fire’ is an aptly titled record that opens with smooth bars from Rezza and a bouncy westcoast feel. As his verse concludes, the track…

Part Native is a production duo that showed up on the scene in 2015, but their yearling-status is not inhibiting them from mixing some deep dirty bass with high pitched flutes and fluttering snares that are simultaneously irresistible and satiating. Both members are of Cherokee descent, and classify their sound as Cherokee Trap. Their latest release ‘Purp’ has a spicy swagger to…

Holly is looking like the 2016 josh pan. If you’re not familiar with his work, go check his SoundCloud. He’s been dropping a crazy track seemingly every week this year. Today, the up-and-comer has linked up with Jersey heavyweight 4B. It’s a bit of an odd collab on paper but the result is nothing short of stellar. ‘Juice’ is a true…

Do you like music that captivates you? Blending deep emotional appeal with just that right punch of heavy? If you do, then we have a treat for you, the latest single from ATTHA.  ‘Hands’ opens with a sea of voices, a smattering of conversations and buzz that’s out of focus. It’s like you’re in a busy bar but can’t quite…

After dropping the dark and filthy collab ‘Sneaky’ with TroyBoi a few months back, Grandtheft is back to flip the script with a lighter release. His new single ‘Easy Go’ is built upon the powerful and infectious vocals from Delaney Jane. The production packs an upbeat, fun-loving feel that conjures images of warmer days. ‘Easy Go’ perfectly blends a pop-friendly sound…

KRNE is back with another track to impress us with and he’s got B. Lewis to help him. ‘PCP’ is a dexterously mixed get-down, that uses sounds from all sorts of music families. KRNE must have been bent over this Frankenstein for some time before letting it out of the lab. The complexity of this creature can seem off putting…

Halifax isn’t the first city that comes to mind when you think about Canadian music, especially in the electronic space. Although the East Coast has birthed the likes of Skratch Bastid and Ryan Hemsworth it’s been a minute since any new blood has made waves. A new producer by the name of Mixre is looking to change that. He’s landed…

If you’re a fan of Skrillex, RL Grime or What So Not (or likely all 3) chances are that you’ve been waiting, and waiting and waiting. Their collaborative effort is one of the most highly anticipated releases of the year. From live videos of it, to rumors of the release, the buzz has been tremendous. Finally the time has come and…

After killing the beginning of 2016 with Aa, it looks like Baauer is aiming to murder the tail end too. Just a few weeks back he blessed fans with two new tracks and today he’s back with another monster. ‘Sout London’ is everything you want to hear from Baauer; simplistic vocal loops with forward-thinking bass and some serious bang. The filthy sound…
