With the recognized vocals to start the party anywhere around the world, the vocals are hit with distortion and numerous repetitions to launch right into whips of drum claps and slithering instrumentals. Exploding listeners minds with the amount of firepower released in the track, layers of bass and glitches of beaming sounds are firing off. Going even harder than the beginning, Wuki has just delivered a hard-hitting festival banger to prepare you for this summer. If you need a wake up call, I highly recommend this track for you.

The post Wuki Pumps Up The Party With His Remix Of DJ Snake, Tchami, Malaa, & Mercer’s ‘Made in France’ appeared first on FUXWITHIT.

Punjahbae opened the hotly anticipated show amid dark clouds and misty rain. Denver locals, they got things of on the right foot with plenty of bass, tricky mixing, and house funk that got all the early birds dancing. It was nice to get to see Pardon My French reach out to a local artist whose sound is both fun to party to but also pushes boundaries. Their fresh set must be just a taste of what is to come since they released their first mix this past winter- their first in two years.

Next up was Mercer, who threw down a more seasoned set, reflecting his prowess and classic house mixing style. Mercer definitely showed off his flare for more funky, throwback style of electronic music. It was just the right mix to keep the crowd grooving as the sun went down and the chill of a misty evening crept in over the duration of his set. His bolder-bass remix of Daft Punks ‘One More Time’ and florescent pastel visuals especially brought on the house party vibes and got the crowd hyped.

Tchami and Malaa stepped up to the decks next and played an extraordinary set together. They did not strictly stick to tracks that they co-produced but also collaborations that they had each done with other artists. It must have been Tchami who tossed out ‘My Place’ which he created with Brohug and it was a great way to introduce this duo’s passion for more modern house. It was amazing to hear many of their No Redemption EP tracks live and see the excitement come over the fans. The pair also threw out fresher beats throughout their set including ‘Curbi’ by Redeem, ‘Move to the Sound’ by Kitone and Siberian Express, and ‘Right About’ by Bellacour from Malaa’s Illegal Mixtape 2 EP. Their satiating die hard fans dressed in priest collars, nun habits, and balaclavas, which probably peaked some DJ Snake fans’ interest, and they paid homage to Notre Dame with stunning visuals of the church’s rose window stained glass. 

Finally, DJ snake took the stage, and lit up the entire venue with powerful trappy tracks and a few of his incredibly successful top 40 hits. This included ‘Lean On’ and his more recent ‘Taki Taki’. He hyped the crowd, called out to the French citizens in the front rows, and laid down track after track of house, filthy trap, and plenty of bass. This performance was impressive as he presented his repertoire of catchy, pop hits and his fervor to push the boundaries of what electronic music is today.

Much of his set was a fluttering back-and-forth between these two poles of the DJ Snake aesthetic. But his flow was impressive as he shifted the crowd from singing along with Selena Gomez to riding the roller-coaster of emotional instrumentals that crashed into industrial metallics of his more futuristic tastes.

As DJ Snake came closer and closer to midnight (which is closing time for this truly unique venue), you could hear the murmurs of the crowd questioning and wondering if the four horsemen of Pardon My French would stand together; and then the moment came!

The entire venue caught a second wave, and jammed out as they played dirty french house beats, hyped the crowd, and overall demonstrated how grateful they were to have dedicated fans and to have the chance to play the world famous Red Rocks Amphitheater. 

Be sure to check out each of these amazing artists during this festival season and follow FUXWITHIT for features on their latest releases.

Belgian overlord Eptic is a Never Say Die mainstay known for his unique robotic signature that can easily be identified in a sea of generic dubstep, and this influence is ever-present in his latest collaboration with DJ Snake. ‘SouthSide’ can be described as the hybrid child of DJ Snake’s ‘Propaganda’ and Eptic’s ‘Say Less’ remix. The highly reverberated introduction is reminiscent of the former track, while the Belgian’s sound dominates throughout the drops. Sure to become a festival favourite this summer, ‘SouthSide’ plays on the versatile trap influence from DJ Snake and Eptic’s original, heavy-hitting synths and samples. Don’t miss it below.

With Halloween just around the corner, we figured there’s no better choice for this week’s Tracks You May Have Missed selection then DJ Snake’s Parisian Version of ‘Thriller’. The track kicks off with the familiar chords of the original but they are quickly bent into a riser that enhances the intensity. An evil laugh brings listeners into the darkness. A sound which is chopped, looped and tweaked. The hair-raising cackle provides the foundation as Snake brings in snapping trap drums and deep bass. The way DJ Snake takes something so simple and builds it into a such a massive tune is a big part of what has made him so successful over the years. Stream DJ Snake’s ‘Thriller Parisian Version’ below.

The post FUXWITHITFRIDAYS – 163 appeared first on FUXWITHIT.

(Although, for those leaning on rumours that DJ Snake = Malaa, this can technically be seen as a VIP remix.)

Nevertheless, electronic music is making huge waves as it melds with other genres, namely pop and hip-hop. The latter has led some people to be skeptical towards the two coming together. Yet, one of EDM’s masked mysteries has gone to prove that it’s doable, and pulls it off almost effortlessly. The song features his signature G-house flair, some well-timed bubbly pops, and utilizes G4SHI’s catchy hook to set up the drop. This is bound to bring out your inner shuffler to help you lose control on the dance floor. Get your fix of ‘Oh Me Oh My’ below!

The post DJ Snake & Yellow Claw Unleash 27 ‘Ocho Cinco’ Remixes appeared first on FUXWITHIT.

10. Lido – Murder

Lido’s ‘Murder’ isn’t a song, it’s an emotional journey. It’s a piece of Lido’s heart and soul experienced through sound. From the stuttered vocals creating a sense of confusion, to the immense waves of emotional pain conveyed in the drop, it delivers in a way that is both cinematic and forward thinking. Closing the song out, comes a sense of pensive calm, scored by an 80-piece orchestra. Yes, Lido commissioned an 80 piece orchestra for the outro. ‘Murder’ is further proof that Lido is a master composer and is truly a work of art.

09. QUIX & Boombox Cartel – Supernatural

‘Supernatural’ was the track that murdered every set in 2016. Prior to its release, it was the ID everyone was clamouring over. When it dropped, it only became more massive. The combination of moving vocals, rough trap and future feels was not pioneered with QUIX & Boombox Cartel’s collab, but it was perfected. Keeping it 100, above everything else, the first drop was the drop of the year. If a DJ wanted to slaughter a club or festival, they queued this one up and the rest was history. This was the club banger of the year without question.

08. Kanye West – Ultralight Beam (Ft. Chance the Rapper)

‘Ultralight Beam’ is undoubtedly a classic Kanye song but he contributes in the periphery while letting legend in the making, Chance the Rapper, take the spotlight with his most triumphant verse to date. Note the bars: “this is my part nobody else speak” he croons as the Kirk Franklin-lead choir chimes in. Chance made himself a staple in the game and as much as this is Kanye’s joint, everyone knows that this was the “passing of the torch” from one Chi-town legend to the next.

07. Flume – Smoke and Retribution (Ft. Vince Staples and Kučka)

One of the things that made 2016 so special was the incredible range of collaborations seen. Defying genres and seeing acts from completely different walks of life connect to create something exceptional. Nothing embodied this feeling more than ‘Smoke And Retribution’. Kučka’s delicate and touching vocals provide the ultimate contrast to Vince Staples’ aggressive and raw style. All the while, Flume showcases his mastery, developing soundscapes that back both dimensions while moving between them so smoothly. If we’re strictly talking quality, ‘Smoke and Retribution’ is tough to top. Add in the immense fan fair and DJ support it received and there’s no questioning its placement.

06. DJ Snake – Propaganda

If ‘Supernatural’ was the club banger of the year, then this was the festival killer. By the end of 2015 DJ Snake was becoming well known for his poppier leanings (‘Lean On’). With ‘Propaganda’ he reminded the world that he’s still capable of producing some of hardest material out. From the epic build ups, to the chest pounding drops, this was the sure-fire standout in every DJs set and every festival. ‘Propaganda’ once again proved that Snake owns the game, regardless of what sound or direction he chooses to explore.

05. Desiigner – Panda

What is there to say about this track? It was literally everywhere. Most loved it, some hated it. Future fans called him a copycat, New Yorkers called him a sellout. Regardless, Desiigner became a star and with Kanye’s co-sign on The Life of Pablo there was no stopping him. The XXL Freshman became a viral hit overnight. ‘Panda’ is the trap banger on 10, the drums hit as hard as the bells and horns. Rounding out the Top 5 is the new kid on the block.

04. DJ Khaled – Holy Key (Ft. Big Sean and Kendrick Lamar)

The third release off of Khaled’s ninth studio album Major Key, ‘Holy Key’ features Betty Wright,  Big Sean and Kendrick Lamar. Wright’s vocals provide an ardent chorus, and each rapper rhymes in their intricate and identifiable styles. The theme of this track is how surreal reality is these days; hipster trends blended with nasty news reports about the most soul-destroying racism. Big Sean expresses the confusion between desiring things in a world inundated with injustices and mistrust. Lamar grounds you in his emotional performance, becoming shrill while he reminds us of how fleeting and unfair life is. The passion in both rappers verses can give you goose bumps. References to spiritualism struggling against the overcomplexity of the times coupled with modern frustrations makes this a powerful anthem for 2016.

03. Chance the Rapper – No Problem (Ft. 2 Chainz and Lil Wayne)

Chance The Rapper is the rapper of the year. His list of accomplishments is so long we dedicated an entire post to it (add in 7 Grammy nominations). In Coloring Book, Chance dropped what is arguably the best mixtape (strikeout) album of the year. The biggest single off the record, ‘No Problem’ is the perfect embodiment of what Chance stands for. It’s an anthemic cut that centres around his frustration and distaste for major labels and the industry in general. With the refrain repeating “If one more label try to stop me, it’s gon’ be some dreadhead niggas in ya lobby, huh huh” ‘No Problem’ doesn’t sugar coat shit. Chance is fed up with labels trying block him recording with friends and he’s telling the world. A bold move that deserves massive level of commendation. Chance is putting his neck on the line in hopes to invoke change and benefit the artists who will come after him.

Off the official video and SoundCloud upload alone ‘No Problem’ clocked nearly 100 millions plays. The popularity and message together is a clear highlight of 2016. And I didn’t even mentioned the guest verses from heavyweights 2 Chainz & Lil Wayne. The latter was especially fitting with Wayne stuck in release limbo due a disagreement with his label. Performing this on Ellen, Wayne directly took aim at Cash Money, while the entire stage set-up was a blatant commentary on the antiquated record industry.

The cherry on top of the incredible track is that it’s produced by Brooklyn based Brasstracks. The fact that the underground (and FUXWITHIT) favorites managed to land a track with such heavy hitters and work it into one of the biggest anthems of the year, is just another a piece of proof that we’re living in the best time ever for music.

02. Drake – One Dance

Though it’s number two on our list, ‘One Dance’ earned a whole lot of ones in 2016. The song from Drake’s Views album hit the net early April and quickly reached the top spot on Billboard and streaming outlets. The dancehall inspired track featured Kyla and WizKid but it was Drake’s overall approach that made the song pop (pun intended). From the song’s simple but bumpin’ beat, to the melodious verses and hooks, Drake easily forged the biggest hit of the summer and you could hear it in every car, every bar/club, house party, festival, wedding – literally anywhere and everywhere. Another dominant year for the 6 God and easily one of the best tracks of the year.

01. Oddisee – Lifting Shadows

Usually each year for our #1 song we select a track that best embodies a strong blend of all of our decision criteria (song quality, popularity & impact). The result is generally a song that is both well put together and immensely popular (‘0 to 100/The Catch-up’ & ‘Lean On’). But 2016 wasn’t a usual year; from the global refugee crisis, to the increasing racial division and racism in the U.S., to Trump’s presidential campaign and eventual election. While many of the songs on this list helped us to forget the issues, if only momentarily, Oddisee’s ‘Lifting Shadows’ brought them to the front of our minds.

In less than 5 minutes Oddisee is able to touch on a myriad of social issues, doing so in a way, as Common Sense once put it, “by not preaching to me, but speaking to me.” His method certainly isn’t leisurely, but it’s immensely gripping. The first verse provides insight into what it’s like to be a Muslim in America, “…scared I’m involved in the causing of pain, lost somebody you loved in the towers and looking at me like I boarded the plane, I’m just an artist you’re not a target, no use in arguing we all look the same.” Oddisee builds upon this while shining light on the seemingly, ever-increasing police violence toward citizens, “All in the name – I got a name that’ll scare all the brave in the land of the free, all in the name of protecting a country that’s shooting its citizens dead in the streets.”

As the hook comes in ‘Lifting Shadows’ ceases to relent, delivering a sobering and further eye-opening message that even draws upon the first amendment, “Since 9/11 it ain’t too clear just who the target is, I love my country, hate its politics, can’t just let me be, can’t just let me live, regardless my belief, I thought the fathers wrote it clear”

The second half transports listeners to the other side of the world, “I was on tour when the migrants came, saw their camps on side of the road, I met a boy who arrived in the rain, he lost his folks when they torched his home, that made me want to bring my fam, before they see that side of a drone” Anyone possessing a shred of empathy is sure to be impacted by this. With just a few bars, Oddisee is able to give us a first hand account that helps to truly understand the pain and terror experienced in war torn areas across the globe. And that’s only the first few bars. From there, Oddisee dives into the dark views that tend to surround immigration. Building on the idea of “labor’s cool, neighbours no” he proceeds to list off a number of jobs typically reserved for immigrants while pointing out when it comes to more sought after professions like that of doctor, the idea of an immigrant “taking their jobs” makes Americans uncomfortable. It’s a troubling way of thinking that is disturbingly hypocritical; immigrants are good enough to build the country, but not good enough to live in it. After some clever wordplay around Trump, the song’s close shines light on the fact that America was built by immigrants (and slaves), “And that’s what makes this country great, it’s built by those who bleed, It’s built by those who came on boats, it’s built by those who flee, and you forgot your family tree and we’re just all your leaves, so if you just try to chop us down you only hurt your knees, and we could go in pieces but we’d rather come in peace”. It’s a stark reminder that we are all here as a result of immigration.

‘Lifting Shadows’ pushes all of the year’s biggest issues to the forefront of our consciousness while reminding us of our empathy. For that, it is the most important and greatest song of the year.
