Tom Misch and Jordan Rakei – Valley

We don’t know how we missed this Tom Misch and Jordan Rakei track this month. The Hat percussion on this track is also phenomenal, just wanted to point that out. Tom Misch and Jordan Rakei are definitely two young UK artists to keep on your radar, they are real talented! Tom Misch and Jordan […]View post →

Mall Grab – Can’t (Get U Outta My Mind)

The lo-fi distorted sound that this track presents, reflects the current/next wave in the underground House scene. Check out the wicked Alicia Keys sample on Mall Grab’s track below. Mall Grab – Can’t (Get U Outta My Mind): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gq9fGwJ_HQE View post →

FOLD – Rosie Lea

FOLD took De La Soul’s “4 More” and flipped it into a House tune. We instantly recognized the sample because “4 More” is one of our favourite De La Soul tracks. Check this chill flip below. AUS is definitely one of the most consistent House labels out there! FOLD – Rosie Lea: View post →

Kid Cudi – The Frequency

If Kid Cudi tried to actually make music that fit into the Rap and Hip Hop genres like he used to he would be killing it. Instead he chooses to release experimental Rock/ Hip Hop fusion albums that really aren’t that good in our opinion. Today Cudi finally goes back to his Hip Hop roots, […]View post →

SBTRKT – Save Yourself EP

This morning, SBTRKT surprised the music community and released his “Save Yourself” EP. This new EP comes as a surprise to us after 2014’s “Wonder Where We Land”, but SBTRKT said hes actually been working on it for more than a year and half. Below is what he had to say about the creative process […]View post →

Amtrac – Once Is Enough (Kartell Remix)

Amtrac and Kartell on one track? Yeah it’s obviously fire. Both the synth work and the percussion on this track are mint. Check this smooth track below! Amtrac – Once Is Enough (Kartell Remix): View post →

Lil Silva – Lines

In our opinion the UK has the best music in the world. They are always on the forefront of innovative and progressive music, and always present a refreshing sound. Lil Silva is a key member in the UK music scene, and he has collaborated with such big names such as SBTRKT, Sampha, and Banks. His […]View post →

Featured Artist: Tapper

For the next installement of our featured artist section, we have this Norwalk CT artist we just came across on Soundcloud called Tapper. Both the beats and the rhymes are on point. Listen to his cloudy Hip Hop below! Tapper – Still Turnin Down/ Jungle Book: View post →

R.I.P Phife Dawg

Phife Dawg along with Q-Tip formed one of the greatest Hip Hop groups of all time, A Tribe Called Quest. Today is a particularly sad day for me as A Tribe Called Quest is my favourite Hip Hop group, and Bonita Applebum was the song that introduced me/started my obsession with Hip Hop. One day […]View post →

SBTRKT – Good Morning (Ft. The Dream)

it’s always a good day when one of our favourite Electronic artists SBTRKT releases a new track. To be honest, we were very disappointed in his sophomore album “Wonder Where We Land”. It just didn’t have the same vibe/ melodies that his first self titled LP had. After hearing this track we think SBTRKT realized […]View post →
