Julian Stephen — Sophisticated Thoughts (Prod. brandUn DeShay) [Premiere]

By jeffwbaird

Julian Stephen is a name to get familiar with. This Queens emcee drops off his latest single, “Sophisticated Thoughts”, showcasing his charisma and wordplay as he raps throughout the three-minute track. The video has a distinctly old-school feel, and in many ways Julian’s rapping and demeanor follows suit, with the kind of dynamism that characterized work from that period. The upbeat production comes courtesy of Chicago’s brandUn DeShay, who’s quickly gaining attention due to his recent work with Mac Miller, Chance The Rapper, Danny Brown, and Casey Veggies.

Who knew they had this much groove in Norway? Taking us on a nostalgic trip down memory lane, Jerry Folk digs deep into this sweet classic by adding a funky bass-line and completely reviving those smooth vocals. We truly are “lifted-shifted” by the level of creativity Jerry Folk brings to this tune and even happier that it’s a free download. This is a tune I haven’t been able to take off repeat, and neither will you – enjoy!

Slander & NGHTMRE – Ascension (Original Mix)

Slander NGHTMRE Ascension 500x500 Slander & NGHTMRE   Ascension (Original Mix)

There is nothing sexier than when two producers with completely different styles collaborate and incorporate their unique sounds by hashing out a track that blatantly displays these talents. Slander and NGHTMRE team up to create the hard-hitting ‘Ascension’ a track that keeps you lifted with drops that showcase a perfect balance between grimy house and tempered trap – this track kept me mean muggin the entire 5 minutes and 38 seconds. Oh, and did I forget to mention it’s free? NGHTMRE and Slander have really come out of nowhere, and while Slander has played TomorrowWorld and Nocturnal Festival earlier this year and is now enjoying a newly inducted residency in Las Vegas at Drais nightclub/dayclub, NGHTMRE continues to dominate the music playlists of those looking for some new and unique. So stand up because grounding yourself is NOT an option.

Summer School – Control (Original Mix)

By JT

Summer School Control Summer School   Control (Original Mix)

Every once in a while, Spinnin’ Records surprises me and drops a track like ‘Control’ that reminds me why this label dominates the way it does. I don’t know Summer School but what he’s produced right here skillfully breaks the barrier between melodic progressive and mainstage house. The buildup preceding the break is aggressive, with bass so refined that when it cuts into the synth progression mid way you can feel your body vibrate. The drop is nothing less than energetic, and as the name of the track so cheekily points out, you are now under the control of the DJ. Kudos to Summer School – he’s a name that one should definitely keep their eyes on.

LahLahLandMusic – “Real Love” by Clean Bandit [Cover]

By BIGLIFE

You saw her Hozier “Take Me to Church” cover drop here a month ago. Now Leah Haxhi takes you to her LahLahLand of Music once again with her cover and video of this up-tempo ballad- the perfect marriage of vibrant vocals and prominent violin counterpoint. The track features a totally fresh, trance-like beat created by producer Mike Irish and original violin melodies written and played by Leah which further bring out the beauty of the way the violin fits into the original Clean Bandit version. You will be movin and grooving—seduced by the beat, vocals, and strings—along with the added visual element added by videographer Jermaine Isaac of Emerge Visuals.

Flight Facilities’s “Two Bodies” ‘s finely curated remix package, which includes remixes by Darius and Lido, just received a bonus, as producer Myles William decided to flip Lido’s remix into a chill trap record, and it resonates. Lido went the minimalist route, adding soothing moody piano chords over Emma Louise’s vocals, where as Myles added his touch of drums, and hip hop vibes to it, for those in your face but not too in your face vibes. Wish the homie Myles a happy birthday, and look out for his two tracks produced on Lil Wayne’s Carter 5, out in January!

SLANDER & NGHTMRE – ASCENSION (ORIGINAL MIX)

Facebook | SoundCloud | Twitter

Safe to say, we’ve been supporting Slander and NGHTMRE from the beginning, and it’d be only right we support their first original release “Ascension,” a blend of trance, trap, electro-house, and dubstep for all your festival needs. Get ready to be taken on adventure lead by a trancy melody, only to be dropped in a free fall, into some hard hitting bass. I’m a sucker for the anthemic, chord progression, press play, you’ll hear what I’m talking about. This is a must listen and a must download!

The Magician is silly good. He’s pulled another rabbit out of his hat with another installment of his “Magic Tape” series with volume 47 packed full of tracks that are incredible. In true Magician fashion, he hasn’t included a tracklist which makes hunting down these tracks all the more fun.

The Magician. So hot right now. The Magician.

Folks, I’ve been holding off on sharing this one, it’s just that good, and sometimes I like having my own little gems, but right about now feels like the right time to introduce Austin Basham to the world and his latest single “A;; Is Well,” an infectious acoustic indie-pop ditty that should not be slept on!
