Tsuruda Flexes With 20 Track Album Internet Slaps Vol. 2

Alex Bell — Fri, 25 Jan 2019 17:51:12 +0000

Thomas Tsuruda makes more than albums that have starts, middles, and finishes, he makes a cohesive flow that transforms itself into a story. This tradition is continued with Internet Slaps Volume 2, his 5th full length studio release. To try to use conventional genre-tags to describe this album would be doing it a great disservice, as fitting in a box is exactly what this work aims not to do. Tsuruda’s style ranges vastly from minimalist approaches to complex soundscapes. He incorporates lo-fi hip-hop, trap, freeform bass, and some sounds that are even hard to compare. Some albums feel like an artist took a feeling and ran with it, with that same emotion brewing at the bottom of every individual piece, but this album is more like a day in the life. It has ups, downs, highs, lows, sections that make you want to punch a wall, and portions that make you want to lay in a field basking in sunlight. Even his heaviest tracks have very calm beginnings and ends, almost like a storm passing through.

The album opens with ‘Crow,’ a perfect fit as the first page in this 20 page story. It gives off feelings of a new beginning, the start of something big that you can effectively dip your toes into. Next, ‘TFW You Stand on the DJ Table (The Final Chapter)’ unleashes Tsuruda’s powerful side, beginning with a huge half-time drop that continues getting more trappy as it continues. Elements are added and subtracted on the fly, adding new levels of engagement. ‘I’m Still Here’ comes next, which features one of my current favorite openings to a song. I absolutely love the middle-eastern vibe of the intro, which gives it so much personality. This is definitely a song that you could get rowdy too.

Something prevalent throughout the entirety of the album are constant switch-ups so the beat never becomes stale and the listener’s ears never quite know what to expect, in the best way possible. This doesn’t happen from song to song, but even on a smaller-scale; where each section of a song has the possibility of being vastly different from its other pieces. ‘Apples’, ‘Devil Man’, and ‘DC Boiz’ are great examples of this as they all have parts that almost seem completely foreign when compared back to themselves. ‘Apples’ incorporates outstanding lo-fi hip hop at the beginning into a much more energetic trap ending, and ‘Devil Man’ uses a Japanese rapper’s vocals over the top of a fantastic beat which is very refreshing as it seems most vocals used as samples are in English nowadays. ‘Ode to Losco’ is just as it’s named, incorporating the Dutch trap masterminds’ insane amounts of low-end that will push any speaker system to its limit. ‘Bricks’ has very warm, welcoming vibes, while ‘Skeletons,’ the song that chases it in order, is exceedingly dark and can slap the listener into a land of confusion.

Internet Slaps Volume 2 does just that, slaps. Hard. You absolutely don’t want to miss this one.

Bro Safari’s ‘Reality’ Tells A Story

Mekabeth — Mon, 24 Oct 2016 16:47:55 +0000

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 with familiar imagines of classic tattoos the anticipation of a cheesy cartoonish-ness builds but won’t be fulfilled. The ingenuity of the illustrative animation could win over the largest, meanest, dirty trap-krakken.

The major elements of ‘Reality’ are as starkly star-crossed as the sailor and siren, and make for just as lusty a combination. In mythology sirens lured the sea-weary sailors with their magically sexy singing voices in order to fulfill their own bloodlust. Bro Safari’s video captures the romantic feel of ‘Reality’ and puts a cute twist on an old classic. Get lost in this uniquely fresh video below.

Artists You Need to Know: Alex Young

FUXWITHIT — Mon, 24 Feb 2014 01:44:16 +0000

Hailing from Washington, D.C. Alex Young is an amazing young producer. He has dropped a slew of mind-blowing tracks over the past year. He is a multidimensional producer who’s work has already encompassed a wide range of genres. I first got into Alex Young after hearing his edit of Skrillex, 12th Planet and Kill The Noise – Right On Time. I have to admit when I first saw the track I thought, “An unknown producer (to me at the time) remixed Right On Time. What value could they possibly add to the already phenomenal song?” I was pleasantly surprised when I clicked play and was greeted with the sound of bouncing basketballs and blowing whistles, setting the tone for a very different and dare I say even more enjoyable version of the song.

[soundcloud url=”https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/105130981″ params=”color=0066cc&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_artwork=true” width=”100%” height=”166″ iframe=”true” /]

Once I had heard the song, I was instantly a fan and looked for more of what Alex Young had to offer. Since then, a fair bit of time has passed during which he has put out a ton of stellar music. His most recent release is a remix of Icona Pop – Just Another Night. The song is sure to be a huge festival killer with poppy vocals, progressive builds and an absolutely ridiculous drop. It’s just one of many bangers that he has produced. Be sure to check out Mastermind and his collaboration with the The Hi-Yahs – So Much.

Part of what makes him standout is his versatility. Two songs that showcase his ability to make mellow, bass heavy and beautiful music are SWTRWTHR and his remix of BenZel – Fallin’ Love. The former makes use of the of The Neighbourhood’s popular Sweater Weather taking what the original track has to offer and building on it. The end result is an absolutely gorgeous soundscape that needs be heard.

In just over a year Alex Young has really made a name for himself, proving to be one of the best rising young producers. With his debut EP set to drop this year, expect to be hearing his name and more importantly his music, more and more regularly. By the way this is only a selection of the great music he’s produced. For even more tracks be sure to check out his SoundCloud page.

Bishop Nehru – You Stressin’ (Produced by Disclosure)

FUXWITHIT — Wed, 22 Jan 2014 17:56:23 +0000

Up-and-coming New York rapper Bishop Nehru just dropped a huge new track entitled You Stressin’. Interestingly the track was produced critically acclaimed electronic music duo Disclosure. The track has a mellowed out, New York, 90’s vibe. This is the first time I’ve heard of Disclosure producing a hip-hop track (which says something about Bishop Nehru) but they sound right at home. Bishop comes through with a smooth flow and some dope lyrics. The track will be released on iTunes soon, but for now stream it below. His style instantly draws comparisons to fellow young guns Joey Bada$$ and Chester Watson. It’s hard to believe that his kid’s only 16 years old, so look for him to continue to get bigger and better. We predict big things for him this year, especially considering the fact that he’s got a project with MF Doom in the works and plans to release a ton of new music.

Dj Snake recently dropped his Australia & New Zealand tour after movie. Normally we would’t get too excited about a minute and thirty second tour recap video.

Look out for this to murder festivals and Dj sets throughout the year. The tracks will be released March 7 so you’ll have to wait a little while for the full song.
