DJ Reflex gives us a taste of his debut EP due out later this year with his bass-heavy Body So Tight. Topping off the electronic banger are verses from the always-clever Childish Gambino, who never fails to disappoint with his lyrics. Make sure you keep your ears open for more from Reflex later this summer. A perfect blend of hip-hop and trap, Body So Tight will have you bobbing your head all week long.

It’s pretty rare that I come across a new track from Hollidayrain, and even rarer still when I get to post trance here on The Kollection. But here we are, with the brand new release Let me Go featuring Russell Elliott. As far as trance goes, this track is pretty standard: driving beats and big euphoric synths are the song’s bread and butter. Russell Elliott handles the vocals well, giving the track a light, somewhat melancholy twinge. Slip away into seven minutes of trance goodness and grab this track for free.
This is an emotional vocal trance track I wrote with the super talented singer/songwriter Russell Elliott. You can find him on youtube (www.youtube.com/russellelliottmusic), so go show him some love!

It’s no question that today there is an unprecedented proliferation of experimental electronic music – new artists continue to flood into the music community each and every day. If there’s anything we can be certain about in the midst of all this, it’s that now more than ever, the artists who produce high quality, original music will shine out among the rest.
HOWLINGS is one of those artists. I’ve been listening to him for almost a year now, and he consistently turns out some of the freshest music on the scene today. And his new EP, Hold Me Close, is nothing short of a testament to that. HOWLINGS’ music integrates a wide range of sounds – from chilling synths to crisp drum loops, dope bass lines to smooth reverbs – each song emanates a kicked back, relaxed atmosphere. This EP is comprised of four sleek new tracks by HOWLINGS and four top-notch remixes. You’ll definitely want to Kollect this EP for free, thanks to HOWLINGS’ generosity. Also, show him your gratitude and support by dropping into his Soundcloud and checking out more of his music.
That’s it for now. Keep it real ladies and gents, and keep on Kollecting.
Waldo‘s an up and coming rapper from Grand Rapids, MI, who with only a few previous releases, has already shown immense potential. After listening to his earlier music, it’s obvious that he grows and improves as an artist with each effort. With a flow and presence on this track that mirrors Kendrick Lamar and J Cole at times, he’s sure to keep impressing us in the future.
![Higher Than The Sky [EP] – Stars Above](http://thekollection.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/2013/05/Higher-Than-The-Sky-e1368137599842.jpg)
While a 2 track EP may seem like a small project, Stars Above demonstrates how even a small project can have a big impact. With Higher than the Sky relying on its assortment of musical elements to draw us in with each passing moment, Stars Above emphasizes an elegance that differentiates itself from the typical sounds that make up most dance music. “Daybreak”, for instance, greets us with percussive notes that lead into a gorgeous piano line. Instead of ramping up the percussion aspect as would seem normal, Stars Above builds the track out from the piano and layers it with a healthy dose of synths. So if you’re looking for an EP that is atypical of a heavily saturated, and generic, EDM scene, then take a chance on Stars Above’s Higher than the Sky.
Electro-Pop. That’s the best way to characterize this interesting remix by London-based producer Rudi Zygadlo. He manages to transform the original- an infectious, poppy track- and convert it to something brand new, while keeping the breezy hooks of the original. The young musician has been making his mark in the electronic music world, creating fresh takes on other dance tracks as well as various originals. No genre may define him exactly-he’s experimenting with dubstep as well- but as long as he keeps producing work this fresh I’m a fan. Check out his Soundcloud page to hear more.
