Trap/Twerk

If there’s one thing guaranteed to add some excitement to your Tuesday it’s this new collab from TroyBoi and Grandtheft. ‘Sneaky’ is an absolute monster; dark, dank and dirty. Sinister synths, ominous undertones and cavernous bass are layered to create a beast of a track that sounds like it just snuck its way out of the dungeons. Expectations for a…

Boston based producer D-Will has been heating up as of late with tracks like ‘FWAP,’ ‘Bathtub’ and ‘The Beginning’. With each release he’s experimented and expanded his sound and his latest release, a collaborative effort with Wessanders is by far his most adventurous. ‘Slide’ is pure uncut filth. Grimy, industrial sounds are melded with mesmerizing melodies, mind-bending sound design and some dark…

In case you haven’t been paying attention, Promnite has been killing it. From originals like ‘FDT’ to remixes of Rome Fortune and Keys N Krates, to his work with Athletixx, Promnite is low-key owning 2016. It seems Prom is looking to keep this going as he drops off Going Steady Vol. 3. The project is self described as, “a series…

If you’re from Toronto chances are you’re familiar with 4KORNERS. The T.O. native has been a facet in the city’s DJ scene for longer than I can remember; from clubs, to special events, to radio mixes and most notably his decade plus tenure as the official DJ for the Toronto Raptors. For those outside of the 6ix you may remember…

Epic is a term that is grossly overused and undervalued but every so often a track comes out that is truly deserving of the descriptor. Hudson Mohawke’s ‘Chimes’ is one of these works. The combination of entrancing synths, massive brass and bouncing bass make it absolutely monstrous. It’s the type of record that most producers wouldn’t dare touch, but Alexander…

What happens when you get one of the worlds best DJs together with one of trap music’s most promising producers to work on a track? ‘Anymore’ is the result of just that as Four Color Zack and Holly collide for the fierce banger. The end result is a blend of samples (shoutout Swizzy!), wordly soundscapes and vicious sound design. A…

It’s a great feeling when one of your favourite producers drops a fresh remix, but when two of your favourites drop separates remixes of the same tune? Next level. That just happened for me as both STFU and TroyBoi let off reworks of Leaf’s ‘Money’. STFU’s take combines fat low end with trippy vocal bends and leverages a swagged out…

That headline isn’t a typo. Legendary producer Mr. Carmack just uploaded over 50 tracks to his SoundCloud. The collection is a variety of remixes, demos, originals, mash-ups and more. It spans the gamut of Carmack’s sound from mind-bending space trap to low key instrumentals, hip-hop records and more. It looks to be a mix of new, unreleased, and previously removed tunes.…

Hex Cougar has been killin’ the cloud for a minute with stellar bootlegs and originals. He has a knack for flipping familiar vocals into something fresh and irresistibly fun (see ‘anythingUwant’). With the release of ‘War & Peace’ Hex Cougar expands his sound much further. Collaborating with songwriter and vocalist Jarell Perry, the two deliver a stunning original. The lyrics are thought…

Skrillex and Nero’s ‘Promises’ is one of the most memorable and iconic electronic tracks of 2011. The blend of touching vocals and hard hitting drops made it a favourite amongst fans and DJs alike. Fast forward to 2016 and the track is getting another rework, this time by New Zealand producer QUIX. Originally crafted to rinse out in his live…
