You Took Your Time ft. King Krule – Mount Kimbie

You Took Your Time ft. King Krule – Mount Kimbie

May 25th, 2013 by

British Electronic duo Mount Kimbie and singer/songwriter King Krule have proved to be an incredibly productive combination. “You Took Your Time” features small hi-hats, piercing snares, and pensive synths that present a simultaneously hypnotic and vacant groove. The track impresses further with King Krule’s outstanding vocal contribution. Krule, also known as Archy Marshall, successfully creates an irresistible blend of singing, spoken word, and hip-hop, presenting some sort of half-demented monologue. He drearily speaks of how he “killed a man” and is met with “a pile of bones mixed with violent tones.” The lyrics are markedly disturbing, but are presented with an amount of deliberate weakness that force sympathy for our aching narrator, making the track truly irresistible. The song exhibits the promise in both Mount Kimbie’s and King Krule’s future endeavors. Mount Kimbie releases Cold Spring Fault Less Youth on May 27, and King Krule is hard at work touring and finishing material for his full length debut.

Doin’ It Right – Daft Punk Ft. Panda Bear (The Golden Pony Remix)

May 25th, 2013 by

The beautiful Panda Bear-assisted “Doin’ It Right” is one of the more captivating works off of Daft Punk’s Random Access Memories – I can only imagine how incredible it will sound live amongst a sea of fans. For now, we can look forward to a flood of remixes in the meantime – New York’s production outfit, The Golden Pony, have created something simple that gives the shining single a funkier vibe with a proper added bounce. I can’t say I love the climactic bass-breakdown segment, but the afro-headed disco junkies turned out a clean rework worth Kollecting. Grab it above!

I was certainly not ready for this! The duo from Texas, known as Ape Drums wow us with another free track. This one comes just days after a clip of their trap mash-up of Major Lazer’s “Bubble Butt” and Tyga’s “Faded” was posted on their Soundcloud profile. “Y’all Ain’t Ready” is a festival-ready, electro house banger equipped with an incredible vocal sample right before each and every drop.

Better Days – Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes

Better Days – Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes

May 25th, 2013 by

Edward Sharpe is returning to the summer radar after their 2010 smash hit “Home” was played over airwaves around the entire globe. The latest release off of the groups new self-titled album goes by the name of “Better Days,” and it is the same, contagious summer anthem they are so well known for. This is the perfect tune for your relaxed afternoons.

The dynamic percussion offered throughout the song is complemented well by Alex Ebert’s soothing vocals. The nine other members of the group do an excellent job of providing roaring background vocals and smooth drum and piano. The melody tends to drift in and out of your ears throughout the track. Songs like this are the ones that quickly become sacred to your summer activities, so enjoy this early Memorial Day gift and keep counting down the days until the groups album release on July 23rd. Also check out the track listing for the new album here, and follow the band on Facebook or Twitter.

Ego – Mr. Carmack

Ego – Mr. Carmack

Mr. Carmack does it again. Sending us dirty drops from Honolulu, Mr. Carmack is one to keep an eye on. I’ve been following Mr. Carmack for a while now and all I can say is this guy produces straight fire. Mr. Carmack brings a unique sound to the music industry with electronic sounding melodies coupled with some of the hardest hitting hip-hop bass lines you will ever hear. His sound reminds me a lot of Nightmares on Wax except with more emphasis on the bass, which in my opinion makes Mr. Carmack stand out from the rest. This is one of those tunes where you cue it up, sit back, take a deep breath, and let Mr. Carmack do the rest. Be sure to turn up your volume a few extra ticks for this one, you won’t regret it. Get in on the FREE DOWNLOAD while you still can over at his soundcloud page.

Guest Mix for Diplo and Friends – Grandtheft

Guest Mix for Diplo and Friends – Grandtheft

May 25th, 2013 by

Diplo’s international recognition earned him a regular spot on the BBC Radio station 1xtra, where he hosts the show Diplo and Friends. The show has seen appearances from Avicii, Baauer and Flux Pavilion in the past, but this time around Diplo welcomed Grandtheft into the studio. During the hour-long set, Grandtheft mixed in some big names – Calvin Harris, Drake and even Major Lazer – with some of his original remixes. He kills it, keeping the set high-energy and uptempo throughout. Stream the mix and get the free download from his Soundcloud page.

Bad ft. Tiara Thomas (Yarin Lidor Remix) – Wale

Bad ft. Tiara Thomas (Yarin Lidor Remix) – Wale

“What happened to the bed creaks?”…was the first thing I thought when I heard this remix. They’re one of the catchiest parts of the original, but are barely noticeable in Yarin Lidor’s flip. First appearing on his mixtape Folarin, Wale’s “Bad” hit the radio and made its way up the pop charts. Yarin Lidor took on the challenge and completely changed the vibe of this song. It’s got all the tell-tale signs of a trap banger (the kick, hi-hats, and snares) but in typical Lidor fashion, he brings it down a notch and turns it into something you can chill to. Grab the free download as part of a trap mix by ImanoS on his Facebook. Check out Yarin Lidor’s Soundcloud for other sensational remixes!

Truckers ft. Jeff Replay – Cam Meekins (Video)

Truckers ft. Jeff Replay – Cam Meekins (Video)

May 25th, 2013 by

This white boy from Massachusetts is not your typical rapper, but Cam Meekins has stayed true to his style and sound throughout his career. He released his first mixtape while still in high school, and ever since, Cam’s following and respect in the hip-hop world has grown.

Fast forward two years and his first full length album Lamp City is debuting at the top of the iTunes charts. He gave us the videos for “Inhale”, “Lamp City Family” and “Judge” a short while ago, but for “Truckers” he teams up with fellow Bostonian Jeff Replay (of Pilot Nation) to deliver a middle finger anthem. Riding in the back of a UHaul truck and defacing a classroom blackboard, Cam and Jeff perform one of my personal favorites off Lamp City. Buy the whole album here and check out Cam’s constant releases on his Soundcloud profile!

Raise Your Weapon Ft Denzil Porter (Just In Case EP Version) – Doley Bernays

Raise Your Weapon Ft Denzil Porter (Just In Case EP Version) – Doley Bernays

May 25th, 2013 by

MP Williams, who produced this track, has remixed numerous tracks from many areas of the music world, even with our boy A$AP. Doley Bernays, the lead vocalist on this track, has worked with MP Williams multiple times and has put out numerous tracks worth listening to. New York’s Denzil Porter, on the other hand, is making some noise in the hip hop world, specifically when he opened for Kendrick Lamar.

It seems like just another “Raise Your Weapon” cover, but this mix would make Deadmau5 especially proud. Doley Bernays and Denzil Porter definitely started something new and threw some vocals over the Deadmau5 track. Its just the right amount of chill excerpts from Deadmau5, mixed with some fresh beats, and even fresher lyrics from Denzil Porter. So if you’re ready to hear the makeover that “Raise Your Weapon” got, just pump your speakers and take a listen.

American Boy (Wilfred Giroux Edit) – Estelle

American Boy (Wilfred Giroux Edit) – Estelle

May 25th, 2013 by

“American Boy” by Estelle was an instant classic when it was released back in 2008 and topped the charts around the world. With Kanye West lending his voice to the track and with will.i.am also putting in his two cents in the production of the track, “American Boy” was a summer jam that seemed perfect for the time. Fast-forward 5 years and “American Boy” is making an appearance once again with a Wilfred Giroux twist. Wilfred Giroux is just starting to produce music and if this is what we can expect from him in the future then there is certainly something to be excited about. Giroux’s edit manages to lay a driving bass line over the mesmerizing melody, creating a unique mix of styles that is groundbreaking and refreshing to hear. He is providing a free download link in exchange for a facebook like, so go cop the track over at his facebook page: FREE DOWNLOAD
