Steve Aoki's new album entitled Wonderland is coming out shortly. To give us a little preview, he drops "Cudi the Kid", where he features Cudi and Travis Barker in an epic dubstep/electro/house track. More to come from this artist.
Gotta love some quality remixes. I was searching around and ran into a couple great ones by Sex Ray Vision, a production group out of Stanford. The first is called Open Your Eyes, and it transforms the classic Snow Patrol track into a club banger. It took the song to another level and I loved what I heard. Turn Up the Love featured a variety of hit artists including Cobra Starship, Alesso, Kid Cudi, and David Guetta among a few others. I know you will enjoy these two remixes. More SEX RAY VISION to come.
The LA rapper comes out with an extremely fresh track. "Letter to Myself" had me hooked from the beginning and it isn't hard to tell this guy is extremely talented. His forthcoming mixtape, Building Skies, is going to drop anytime now so look out for that. For now enjoy the track.
It's funny. This is a perfect track for me right now. Enough said. The bottom line is that everyone on this track kills it. The verses are great and the hook by Grace Kelly is very well done. This is simply a great track. Props to Dylan for his verse. It blew my mind. Download below.
I love finding groups that I know will be successful in the future. I think this is one of those groups. From the campus of USC, Y LUV gives us "Keep it Rollin". This electro/indie track will have you hooked from the start. It was very excited to post this track and I hope you give it a listen. Download below.
These are the songs that really get me. This is a great chill hip-hop track from the rap trio Split Second. On this track they sample "Same as the Sun Comes Up" by Jesse Cole. The hook is extremely catchy, and Xcel and J Jaxx do their thing on the verses. This is a must download for those who cant get enough chill hip-hop. Download below and enjoy! More Split Second to come on this site.
I am very picky when it comes to mashups, in particular entire mashup albums. But after hearing only a couple songs from #BASSMOB, I was hooked. 5 & A Dime is aDJ, Mash-Up Artist, and Producer from the Philadelphia area. In this album, he focused more on heavy bass and dubstep, and targeted many of today's hit songs. His music is brilliantly crafted and it keeps you wanting more. If you're looking for a solid party playlist, just put on this album and let it play all the way through. This is an 11 song mashup masterpiece. Enjoy!
First of all, I hope you guys enjoyed Fireside Cuts. If you have not downloaded it I strongly recommend that you go do that. Second, I found a great track by Isiah & Hovey, a rap duo from Richmond, Virginia. It's called "Smoke Signals" and is powered by a chill piano beat. Some of my favorite rap songs start with a little keyboard and allow the flow to take over the song. That's what Isiah does on this track. I was pretty impressed so I posted 2 links below, the new song and an older cut called "Descent". Enjoy!
The time is here! I've been at work all day and I am very proud to present my first tape: Fireside Cuts. A lot of thought went into this project. Winter is naturally a season where you have a little more time to relax and think. This tape is very personal to me. These are tracks that have meant a lot to me throughout my years, but interestingly enough, all of them have made an impact during this season. The goal of this site is to allow you, through music, to be taken to a place where you feel your best. It doesn't matter if you're in Southern California in the winter, like me, or on the east coast with snow all around you. Music can take you wherever you want to go. And the goal of this mix was to find a "winter feel" and I think I succeeded. I think this will really show you guys how well-rounded this site will be in the future. From Sufjan Stevens to Kid Cudi, there is something for everyone. So sit back, relax, grab a cup of coffee, or whatever you like to drink, and enjoy Fireside Cuts.
Completely out of nowhere, Lupe drops "American Terrorist III" via twitter. If you're thinking the same thing I was, you're probably wondering where the second installment is...not to worry. It is said to be on Food & Liquor 2, Fiasco's next piece of work. This is really a great track and I have to say I like the direction Lupe's music is headed. Check it below, you wont be disappointed.
Also...I have completed my album artwork for T.M.A.'s first official mixtape. It will be called "Fireside Cuts" and it will be a winter theme. It will be released shortly! I am excited, you should be too.
