RL Grime’s annual Halloween mix has become one of the most highly anticipated drops of the year. Today he returned with the 2016 edition and it’s massive. The 5th edition gets a vocal intro from Pharrell who reminds us that it’s “super fucking special” and that Grime is a goblin. From there we drift into the Stranger Things theme and get…

Today marks a new chapter for London duo Stööki Sound. After spending most of the past year touring, they’ve also been in the studio on the low working on something special. That something has arrived in the form of their Ösiris EP. Adding even more significance to the release, Ösiris is the first project to drop on their newly established Ö.N.E Worldwide label.…

Mysterious duo PURGE made us instant fans with the release of their Feel Your Love EP. After impressing us once again with ‘Die Tonight,’ they return with yet another stellar tune. ‘Heart’ fits in a similar vein as ‘Feel Your Love,’ blending moving vocals with eerie synths and some serious bass. The percussion feels like they’re drumming live from your…

After being on tour, shredding through the bass music scene as-per-usual, Bro Safari released a video that is getting some reactions. ‘Reality’ is a battlefield of trenches with drops that are almost satirically pinned to Sarah Hudson’s lip-smackingly sweet vocals. Trembling bass, and sticky caramel vocals rush together and unite in a sexy, slinky sound. As the video starts out…

UZ’s Quality Good Recordings is proving to live up to its name. After releasing EPs from UZ, Ian Munro and Tascione, they’re back with another huge release, Oski’s Kid Chrome. The project is everything we look for in a trap release in 2016. It’s hard hitting, forward thinking and balances between somewhat familiar and “what the fuck is this!?” Kid Chome kicks…

Anytime Baauer drops a new track it makes you want stop what you’re doing and listen. The producer’s raw talent and inventive approach have made him one of the most beloved producers in electronic music. That said, when he drops two tracks in one day, this is just multiplied exponentially. After premiering ‘Paauer’ on his Beats 1 radio show, the…

Stööki Sound‘s Ösiris EP is due at the end of the month and the London duo are building some serious excitement around the release. After dropping the stellar single ‘Endz,’ Stööki return with their second track in ‘My G’s’. The cut is a raw grime record that debuts Jelacee’s vocal talents. With a steady flow and some solid bars, it…

HXV is a pioneer in the electronic trap scene. While the genre tends to centre around a turnt up culture, celebrating alcohol and drug use, ‘Novocaine’ takes a different approach. The track has a more melancholy feel as Naz Tokio’s beautifully haunting vocals are sung from the perspective of the drugs themselves. The undeniable pull draws upon HXV’s own fight through drug…

Earlier this year, Flosstradamus teamed up with Fki1st, graves, Post Malone and Key! for the massive summer anthem ‘Came Up’. It was an instant fan favourite with its blend of hip-hop, trap, future bass and a touch of pop influence. Taking the track to the next level comes a stellar visual. The video illustrates Flosstradamus’ come up. From their early days throwing…

Money. Power. Respect. The simple vocal loop is as impactful as the greatest motivational speech you’ve ever heard on this HXV rework. Taking on Mayhem and Antiserum’s ‘MPR’ the ATL OG creates a chest-pounding, empowering anthem that somehow manages to be lowkey and banging at the same time. It’s strong proof that simplicity can be more impressive than complexity with…
