Despite the recent turmoil in Albany with EDM “incidents”, shows go on. This weekend we’ve had Above and Beyond and now Gramatik, who’s blowing through on Sunday, the 6th. Doors at the Upstate Concert Hall open at 7:00 for another stop on Gramatik’s Age of Reason tour. He’s been coveting the album of the same […]
Today, Detroit electro hip-hop favorite GRiZ has set the internet ablaze with divided reactions over an uncharacteristic release. Heartbeat, put out as a bootleg track, has got some classic GRiZ glitch and roll soul, but has more of an R&B vibe, and tight snares that make it trappy. Fans have been polarized in their reactions. Some are screaming […]
Adam Deitch and Borahm Lee, known collectively as Break Science, are preparing to release a new full length album, “Seven Bridges,” on October 1st. In preparation for the release they have made the second single for the album, “Breath of Space (feat. Sonya Kitchell),” available on soundcloud, free to download. This new track is killer. […]
From his new album, the first since 2010’s The Colossus, RJ releases a new track: Temperamental feat Phonte Coleman. When it comes to consistency, RJD2 is unmatched. Whether he uses a vocalist or simply samples in a composition hardly matters, the resultant track always bears the fullness of bona fide soul jam. Temperamental features the […]
Zeds Dead are known for their upbeat tracks which feature gritty and snarling basslines, but this new juncture with Greta Svabo Bech (who previously collaborated with deadmau5) portrays the duo in a softer, subdued, and more gentle light. Shut Up & Sing could be described using a multitude of adjective, but “chill electro hip hop” […]
A-Track has done it again. On ‘Odd Look,’ he reworks a solid track by French producer Kavinsky (underrated) into a true club banger. Coming in at 110 bpm, this track features intricate percussion patterns that build on now-familiar trap high-hats, and an immaculate build with sweeping synth lines that sets the stage for the funky […]
After the release of Siamese Ratchet Funk, Dan Hacker (aka Muzzy) had us all highly anticipating his second installment of world wide ratchet funk. His newest track, Italian Ratchet Funk, did not fail to hit the mark dead on the head. A great combination of old world big band samples and his funny brand of […]
Antiserum & Mayhem‘s new double feature has a nice little catchy tune. No, on the real though, these two are Fucking Kings Of Trap. Their styles coincide in such a way that I can only describe it as, well… poetry. Bear with me for a second. I’m no poetry lover by any means of the […]
With the rise of trap music, a lot of producers are silently scoffing and saying “Pff, been there, done that.” One of those producers is Tigran Mimosa or MiM0SA, whose musical repertoire could be described by using a wide array of terms, from dubstep to glitch and even IDM. If you’ve ever doubted his trap […]
If you’re looking for the group that defines dream-trap, this is it. Coupling heavy bass and the familiar high-hats with spacey synthlines, the trio out of Toronto known as Keys N Krates made waves earlier this year with their remix of Zedd’s ‘Follow You Down,’ and now their EP has been picked up by Dim […]
