Lovin the West Coast vibes from this Tempe trio. First thing I look for, especially in hip-hop, is personality, flow & a good beat – and these guys got all that. However, I’m not really feelin the lyrics are worth listening to. It’s obviously not intended to be a lyrically heavy track, but they’re pretty standard, mainstream shit – which I expect more from someone with a spot on flow like this.

Madeline Follin sounds like a singer from the 50’s and those snappy drums in “You Know What I Mean” make it all the more. But Cults also throw in some electro haze, which give it a more newage vibe.

I don’t know if I’ve ever heard/seen more debates over an artist than there have been with Sonny Moore. The man’s explosion onto the EDM scene just over one year ago took everyone by surprise. Practically overnight, he went from being a niche-scene unknown into an ambassador of EDM with 8 of Beatport’s top 10 slots all to himself for a at least a few weeks. I’m pretty sure that’s never happened before.
So this must have some significance, right I mean we, the music-listening community, are the ones who gave Sonny his throne. Why has his music generated so much (more than normal) backlash

Bobby C is know around here for his television ghetto wobblin’ and now he’s up to no good on a classic hip-hop soundtrack. If you haven’t heard the Geto Boy’s “Damn It Feels Good to Be a Gangsta” or the movie that made it so popular, Office Space, then what the shit kinda movies have you been watching all these years Either way, his upbeat, ghetto funk rendition of this gangsta ass beat is a hell of a romper.

Zeds Dead has already pumped out one Adrenaline filled EP, but now they throw us a reremix of Dangers’ remix of Sebastien Tellier’s “Divine” (get all that). Never heard Tellier before, but his voice reminds me of a Beatle at times… I’m thinking Paul

I don’t know if I can stray away from the original just yet, but I couldn’t deny myself a Minnesota remix of my favorite Kraddy track. Minnesota does his usual blissful synths coupled with hypnotizing bass buzzers, which plays wells with Erica Dee’s sultry vocals. Couldn’t ask for a better man to remix a better song! <3 View Full Article »

Wick-it’s already proved himself in the mashups and dubstep, but now he brings us a Dr. Dre Moombahton remix. “Still California” pits two Dre classics together, “Still Dre” & “California Love,” for a bouncy, electro-bass ride. This is what I love about Wick-it, he isn’t scared to switch up his forte.

Don’t let the Young Jeezy throw you off, this is nothing like the original, cept for the Jeezy of course. Sammy Bananas bootleg gets my heart beat pumpin with a remix that takes Young Jeezy back to the days of disco-funk with a Progressive House style. I’d consider this more of a sampling of Young Jeezy than an actual bootleg/remix, but it’s all the same shit when it comes down to it.

NastyNasty’s “Acid Hangover” is one romp around some strange ass sounds. Apparently, he created this after riding his cruiser bike around an abandoned San Joe while on Acid – sounds about right to me. It’s like nothing I’ve ever heard before, which is exactly why I like it. Maybe throw in some Bay Area raps and this would have San Fran music written all over it.
Also, just wondering – is it me or does this have that “Nookie” drum pattern at the start

Favorite track of 2012, so far. Yea, we’re only a month in, but I find something fresh in this every.damn.time I listen to it. I’d confuse this for the original because of how good it is, but RAC gets so electro weird on it that it goes far beyond any original’s experimentation limit.
