UZ

Happy Friday! As we roll into the cold depths of February you know we stay coming with that heat. This week we kick things off with the latest from UZ & Two Fresh and follow it up with the wild new release from X&G. Y2K and AVIDD’s ‘T-Shirt’ remix follows with Nebbra’s flip of Zeds Dead in tow. With tracks…

As UZ gears up for the release of his Magellan Remix EP, he just let off another rework to build some hype. Newcomer UNKWN absolutely slaughters ‘Cavern.’ It’s the type of track that knocks you over, makes you stop whatever it is you’re doing and simply marvel at its exceptionability. Even with the “turn up when the bass drop” vocal…

In 1996, DJ Shadow released Endtroducing. A project that would come to define what the term classic means when referring to an instrumental based project. From its beginning to end, the project was masterfully composed, showcasing just how far sampling can go to create something groundbreakingly original. With Entroducing celebrating it’s 20th anniversary, Shadow has allowed some of the best…

UZ’s Quality Good Recordings is proving to live up to its name. After releasing EPs from UZ, Ian Munro and Tascione, they’re back with another huge release, Oski’s Kid Chrome. The project is everything we look for in a trap release in 2016. It’s hard hitting, forward thinking and balances between somewhat familiar and “what the fuck is this!?” Kid Chome kicks…

UZ‘s Trap Shit series is one of the most iconic and influential bodies of work in the genre. Although UZ retired from the series last year, it seems like he may never be truly done with it as he returns with a remix of ‘Trap Shit 16’. Connecting with rising star MYRNE the duo build a completely new sound around…

It’s been a big month for UZ. The trap kingpin announced the launch of his new label Quality Goods Records, dropped a stellar mix and announced a new EP. Over the past few weeks he’s been slowly teasing fans, first dropping off the title track ‘Magellan’ and following it up earlier this week with ‘Xanny Man’. Today the full Magellan EP has arrived…

With UZ‘s Magellan EP set to drop on Friday, the trap God has blessed fans with the second single ahead of its release. ‘Xanny Man’ features ignorant, drug-inspired bars courtesy of The Rej3ctz. With lyrics like “weed is OG like my granny man,” it’s as absurd as it is hard-hitting. Expect this one to incite waves of trap arms and…

It looks like 2016 is set to be ƱZ’s biggest year to date. After announcing the launch of his new label Quality Goods Records, the gold-masked trap God is giving fans a taste of the label’s first release. ‘Magellan’ is the title track off ƱZ’s forthcoming EP, which is due out May 20th. The alarm sounds that open this one…

Last year UZ announced the retirement of his legendary Trap Shit series. While it signified the end of an era, it also opened the door for a new one. He followed up the announcement with the release of Frontier, an EP which showcased the mysterious producer’s signature sound while expanding the range and direction of his music. It looks like he decided it…

As 2015 wraps up, it’s time to reflect on another incredible year in music. To do so, we’re counting down the top 100 songs of the year. In developing this list we weighed each track against the following criteria: overall song quality, impact and popularity, and support (blogs, charts, DJs, etc.). We’re counting down 20 tracks per day and today we…
