Nothing quite makes my day like some Asher Roth. With every new release he’s shown his maturity as an artist. Outside is just feel-good piece with slowed up lines, a beautiful instrumental, and cool sample on the hook. Asher fan or not, take a listen.
Dillon Cooper really hits the spot with this track. The first few lines threw me off, but once he gets on his rhythm, Dillon takes this track to a whole new level. He’s got meaning, flow, and style. The video is simple and elegant, the words are powerful. I’ve got a feeling we’re going to see big things from Dillon Cooper, keep an eye out.
If you weren’t aware, this is a hip hop site. Hip hop used to be the only genre posted on the home page and the other genres had seperate pages. Plus the change is far more appealing to those genres that should have remained on their own pages and not on the home site.
We posted the original The Veldt here on the site a few weeks ago and it’s stayed at the top of my playlist ever since. I love the original progressive sound, the low-key instrumentals and Chris James’ vocals. Today I’ve got a remix that gives the track a bit more kick, a touch more energy, and adds a new dimensions to the progressive original. Downloads are free, so don’t miss this!
Wow, Matisyahu has really surprised me with this redone Sunshine released yesterday. The acoustic version is a simple, beautiful piece of work, but the rework gives the song a whole new energy. New instrumentals, a new style, faster paced – the new Sunshine is something completely different. The new version is available for free for a limited time on Matisyahu’s website.
Here’s the acoustic version from a while back:
Wow, here’s a little unexpected music treat for the day – new Passion Pit. Take a Walk is a little taste of what we can expect from Passion Pit’s upcoming album, Gossamer, set to be released in July. I love the pop-y upbeat feel to this track, with PP’s unrelenting catchiness and attention to detail. Listen to the preview here and buy the song tomorrow on iTunes!
Sun & Moon by Above & Beyond is one of my all-time favorite trance songs. It’s beautiful, passionate, and powerful – an overflow of emotion in one track. When I saw MiMOSA was taking on the song, I was hesitant. What more could be done to an already wonderful piece of music? Well, add in a completely new flow and beat and you have your answer. I appreciate that this remix doesn’t stray too far from the original, instead just adding bits and pieces that give the track some more emphasis and drive on the drop.
My only critique of this otherwise-beautiful remix is the high-pitch voice alteration that rings in a couple times during the song. Without those, this remix would be pure gold. Listen and download for free.
