London based production genius and sound design pioneer OZZIE has managed to avoid the direct spotlight of the music industry, even despite noteworthy contributions to the foundation and evolution of the minimalist style of ‘UK trap’. An arsenal of solo releases nearly bursting at the seams paved the way for the first official album release from the Brighton-native in June…

It’s the Method Man, for short – Mr. Meth. Method Man has always been one of my personal favourites. Aside from his days with Wu-Tang, Meth has maintained lyrical prowess and a dope ass flow. ‘Even If’ was a track that a lot of folks and fans probably missed. This track was on the Nutty Professor II soundtrack but never…

Before josh pan was an OWSLA backed singer-producer, he was a hungry SoundCloud producer dropping bootlegs and tricking people into believing he’s 20 person collective. One of the often overlooked gems of this period is his incredible remix of the Kanye West and Lupe Fiasco classic ‘Touch The Sky.’ The rework sees pan using the familiar and powerful vocals as…

While you might not have missed today’s track per se, it’s quite likely you forgot about it. Released on OWSLA in 2015 as part of his Vicious EP, Aryay’s ‘R You Ok’ is easily one of the most memorable tracks the American producer has made. After coming across it again recently, I knew I had to bring it back. The…

The Big Apple furnished the ideal foundation for New York-based producer AIRWAV to meticulously craft a niche sound for himself over the past 5 years. As one of the original contributors to the coveted Daruma platform of artists, Colby has identified his style as a brilliant complexion of floral synths and riveting bass, combined in a way that simply cannot…

Produced by SmokeyGotBeatz, ‘Parental Advisory’ featured 3 ruthless verses from the Watts native. This was right around the time Jay Rock was coming off a fantastic showing on…

Back in 2014, DJ Snake kicked off the year with one of the best Essential Mixes of the year. The two hour mix showcased how nice Snake truly was on the decks and gave a glimpse into immense potential DJ Snake possessed as a producer. The mix was filled with standout records but one that always stood out the most…

Let’s talk about Jai Paul. If you’re not from the UK and haven’t been following electronic music since 2010, there’s a very small chance you’ve heard this name before. You’re not to blame, though, as the British singer/songwriter/producer/multi-instrumentalist/sound engineer only has two official releases under his name. I personally came across today’s track when watching a random TV show around…

We’ve covered a boat load of throwback tracks since out inception but this one’s a little different. This morning as I was driving to jump on my morning train to the office I remembered a line from a song but couldn’t remember the song name. I grabbed my phone and typed the bar into my Google search bar hoping Genius…
