Now that twerking has come back in a big way, blowing through the underground trap scene into the mainstream… or at least one member of the mainstream, its time to bring “Jacking” back. Breach has already restarted the “Jack” movement with his massive house track and this week Sleepy Tom throws a massive trap beat over it that will guarantee a packed dancefloor of jackers. UZ knows how to keep a party turnt up, and with a brand new song to add to his Trap Shit series, he comes through with his claim that “all we do is turn up”. I already know what you’re thinking about this next track: “not another f-ing Bugatti remix!” but hear me out. If you can stand listening to Future‘s hook for the five millionth time, you won’t be disappointed by the massive electro house drop waiting for you on the other side, and a crazy trap drop after the five millionth and one time having to hear the hook. . Keeping the Hip-Hop vibe going, we get more than a hook for the next few remixes including Lords Sound Division, Danny Brown, and Rich Homie Quan. The next few tracks go hard with favorites like Meyhem and Ookay providing the heat. The bangers just keep coming with a huge list of fire to keep the feet moving and fists banging. Of course all fires must eventually be put out, so the moombah-ish Donkong remix kicks off a series of more and more chilled out trap and lovetrap from new faces like Blackbird Blackbird and old favorites like Sango to take you out.

The Trap Dojo #41
We’re kicking off this weeks Trap Dojo in a hard way with the newest track from trap music prodigy Alex Young, an original titled “Mastermind”. Don’t let the emotional electro build-up fool you, when this one drops, nothing will stop you from banging your head and attempting to shuffle, no matter where you are. Vinnie Maniscalco puts a fresh spin on an old favorite this week, remixing The Champs classic tune “Tequila”. With heavy bass and clever drum work, he flips the familiar sax tune on its head. Ookay and Pyramid Juke come together for a huge collaboration with this minimal track “Yen”, hope you have your subs turned up for this one. The name Aylen should be a familiar sight to you ninjas, so you know when he remixes Porter Robinson the result is going to be massive, complex trap banger. Both ETC!ETC! and CRNKN bring us two very different remixes of Tokimonsta. ETC!ETC! pulls some huge 808s and snares over some lyrics by Kool Keith, while CRNKN chills it out a bit. TRILLWAVE remixes “Good Vibrations” by Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch on their nostalgic EP www.trapgodz.com which also includes a remix of “What is Love” and “Believe” by Cher. Theres plenty more heaters for you to discover in this weeks dojo, so be sure to check them out.
