IFHY – Tyler, the Creator

IFHY – Tyler, the Creator

New video from Tyler today and it’s just as eccentric as his others. He released it today to promote his (already leaked) new release, Wolf, set to drop April 2nd. The video is divided in two parts, each distinctively different. To explain my opinion in words is difficult, as they tend to be when it comes to Tyler videos, so my short response is, I like it and I recommend you watch it. As for the track, it’s a great song about the difficulties with love and relationships with a plethora of word play and experimental sounds that are standard in Tyler’s productions. As for the album, I haven’t quite gotten through it yet but I can already tell I will be spending a good amount of time with it, I’m a bit of a Tyler fanboy at heart.

This is a massive collaboration by two of my favorite trap artists right now, DJ Sliink and Flosstradamus, giving fans a sneak peek about what is in store for their up coming release, Nomads. It’s a high energy, fast paced, bass banging song that has a couple different phases, the first two building on each other and the third that changes everything up. The builds seem to climb interminably, making the drops just that much better! Sadly the release on this song and the rest of the Nomads album is set for April 2nd on Fools Gold, so I guess we will wait…

Fallin’ Love (Alex Young Remix) – BenZel

Fallin’ Love (Alex Young Remix) – BenZel

Alex Young is a teen D.C. producer who has a liking and clear talent for incorporating hiphop beats into his own euphoric electronic music. The original “Fallin’ Love” is a seductive rhythmic journey that encompasses the ecstasy of youth, but Young’s synth-heavy remix gives the whole work a stronger punch. It can get a bit repetitive, but is still a fun example of the kid’s talent. Kollect that “Hood Euphoric” download above in exchange for a tweet, and stay tuned for more from this young producer.

Sparks (Stars Above Remix) – Nicky Romero & Fedde Le Grand

Sparks (Stars Above Remix) – Nicky Romero & Fedde Le Grand

In dire need of a boost, my boy Stars Above provides as he’s done many a times in the conversations we’ve had. Hitting us with a gorgeous piano line and those big room synths, Stars Above provides a creative remix of Fedde Le Grand’s & Nicky Romero’s “Sparks” that retains elements of the original while being unique to itself. It seems as though with each passing second, this remix just amplifies its’ energy by ten-fold making it a perfect workout track as you’re kept in an amped up mindset as you finish those final reps. Seeing as Stars Above is a close friend, I expect nothing but big things from him in the future as he continues to hone his progressive house craft.

Falling (Duke Dumont Remix) – HAIM

Falling (Duke Dumont Remix) – HAIM

March 28th, 2013 by

As I sit here (uncomfortably might I add) in my office chair, my iTunes skips ahead to a gem of a track that I’ve held on to for a good week or so. Now before y’all start throwing stones at me and all that good stuff, let me introduce you to Kollection newcomer Duke Dumont. Besides a brief tracklist mention in a 30 minute mix for Adventure Club (peep here), Kollectors know little about the Duke. Hailing from across the pond (via Britain), Dumont has garnered support from the likes of Annie Mac, Diplo, Tiesto, and more…and now he delivers an insanely infectious remix for HAIM’s “Falling”.

As soon as I heard the tidings of that electro-pop buttery goodness coupled with those sweet vocals of the HAIM sister trio, I was injected with renewed enthusiasm. And now as the song ends, I’m ready for whatever punishment needs to be doled out to me for keeping this track hidden from our wondrous listeners and readers.

Evening Ceremony – Active Child

Evening Ceremony – Active Child

I have one suggestion as you press that big red play button above. Put down everything you’re doing, don’t change to a different internet tab or start reading another headline. Don’t work on that one engineering problem that has been stumping you for the past 4 hours, instead dedicate yourself to leaning back and tuning everything out as Active Child‘s “Evening Ceremony” washes over you. With a soft and strung out melody meeting hopelessly romantic lyrics that speak of a lost/past love, coupled with cascading harps and a subtle bassline, “Evening Ceremony” is a near perfect balance of sensuality and heartache. And everyone needs that at some moments during the day. Unfortunately no download for this one, but still worth a listen.
