Trap/Twerk

What do you get when you take a Dr. Dre track and turn it up to 100 (bpm). Lexxmatiq allows us to find out with his latest release, a hard hitting remix of ‘Bad Intentions’. The track starts out with some energetic drum rolls and bent vocals before it moves into the familiar sound of the original. As the hook…

TNGHT fans rejoice! Hudson Mohawke is back with the first track off his upcoming EP Chimes. The title track features a captivating melody that builds into an immense brass and bass heavy drop. It then takes a quick break to come back hard once again. This initial taste of the EP has us salivating for more. Unfortunately it looks like we’ll…

Rising LA based Trap star Rickyxsan is back with a fresh bootleg. Taking on Kiesza’s massive hit ‘Hideaway’ and adding an ample helping of grittiness, this track doesn’t disappoint. It starts off with some heavy bass and drums to set the stage. After a short intro it moves into the stellar build from the original with the vocals taking center stage. Just as you…

This week we’re going back to a Trap classic from Bro Safari & UFO! titled ‘2012’. Unsurprisingly the song came out in 2012 and was one of the heaviest bangers of the year. It served as my personal de facto standard track to introduce friends to trap. It was originally slated for Bro Safari & UFO!’s ‘Animal’ album but it was released early…

Australia just doesn’t seem to let up when it comes to spawning talented new producers. It seems like every other time I discover a new artist they’re from Australia (well done, Australia). Reinforcing this is the newest release from Leon Osborn entitled ‘Vinson Massif’. The songs starts out pretty laid back with some snapping snares, chilled out synths and hazy samples.…

Hunt For the Breeze is a name that has quickly piqued my interest. I hadn’t really checked him out him until the release of Moving Castle Vol 002, but as soon I heard a few seconds of ‘Transmission Loop’ I knew it was time to take note. After clicking through his SoundCloud I realized that he was a seriously a dope producer and also…

Australian producer Spenda C is back with a bang. His newest release ‘Cigarettes’ featuring  Amy Lee & Otis Clapp is hard hitting and addictive. The track starts with some bounce before mellowing out and focusing on Amy Lee’s poppy and catchy vocals. On first listen you might think “this is kinda soft” but once that bass hits you’ll be quick to…

Throw it up! When one of the most exciting (and relatively new) producers out links up with an artist by the name of Cakes Da Killa, you can expect a song that slaps and gets you ready to party. Saint comes through with not just the original track but also his own remix – of his own track! Ha! Can’t no one…

Since the Weeknd dropped ‘Often’, I’ve been eagerly anticipating the remixes that would follow. When I saw that one of my favorite producers Andrew Luce would be putting his own spin on the track, I knew it would be an instant favourite. Andrew keeps the opening fairly true to the original letting the Weekend’s seductive vocals set the stage. It’s…

It’s been quite some time since we’ve heard new music from Baauer (aside from the track he produced for Tim Vocals) and we’ve definitely missed him. Returning with a fresh banger entitled ‘Clang’ Baauer does what he does best, combining wild and eccentric samples with heavy bass. The track contains uplifting exotic sounding synths with hard hitting drops for a…
