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 #49
The Trap Dojo #43
Before whats sure to be several weeks of Yeezus remixes flooding the dojo, I just had to feature the original with the heaviest trap beat, “Blood on the Leaves”. Featuring beautiful, haunting samples of Nina Simone‘s cover of Billie Holiday‘s “Strange Fruit,” a massive beat from TNGHT‘s “R U Ready” heartbroken autotuned vocals and hard hitting stadium rap, this song encapsulates virtually all Kanye eras and is easily on of the highlights of the album. Next up is Jackal who we have been seeing alot more of lately as his refined trap beats are starting to blow up, and he shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon. Cop his “Trick/Machine” EP at beatport. The duo of Buzz Trillington and Shooter McNappin always bring the heat on their own, but when they come together its nothing less than an out of control wildfire, with their mashup of UZ’s Trap Shit and The Neptunes. Dis I mention Yeezus remixes? DMNDZ urn it up on the sexy “I’m In It” and tear it back down again. They perfectly rearrange the vocals over a horn, snare and chime heavy trap beat and made it (Dare I say?) a better track than the original. Run the Jewels is the duo of El-P and KillerMike and together have been releasing some killer Hip Hop through Fools Gold Records. Team Bayside High, always keeping it interesting with their remix choices have first a remix of the classic Isley Brother‘s tune “Shout” that you’ll definitely have to turn a little bit louder now. Next is a heavy remix of Chief Keef‘s “Hate Being Sober” with a huge dubby bassline. Alex Young takes on the task of remixing Daft Punk‘s instrumental for Kanye’s “Black Skinhead” and while its a great instrumental track, i found it lacking more of Ye’s lyrics either in verses or hooks. The next bunch are all heavy trunk bangers with some filthy bass lines and all the real trap shit you need to get through another week along with a couple midnight bedroom jams at the end.
The Trap Dojo #37 + [TMN Premiere] Wild Belle – Keep You (Team Bayside High Premiere
I’m sure if you’re a regular Trap Dojo listener the name Team Bayside High is familiar, and this week, we’re very stoked to be bringing you the premiere of their brand new remix of Chicago indie rockers Wild Belle’s new single “Keep You”. This remix keeps some of Wild Belle’s soulful lyrics but packs it full of heavy hitting bass along with the deep horns of the original. Watch out for the second drop with a high spacey riff that will definitely have you coming back again and again. Team Bayside High has been all over the map with the material that they choose to remix and have yet to disappoint. They also released an original tune this week called “Gold Heart” that’s featured later on the list, proving that they can craft their own tunes just as well as they can remix. You probably heard the new Knife Party EP Haunted House, and next up CRNKN turns the song “LRAD” into a huge hard-hitting trap machine. Not much needs to be said about this next track other than its an RL Grime remix of “Love Sosa” by Chief Keef. Last week we included the original version of this Yellow Claw track, and now the homies Watapachi turn it up to 11. Flosstradamus samples all those great lines about asses from “Mercy” for this booty-dropping anthem, with enough bass that would really feel like an “Assquake” when played on the right system. Next up is an awesome Justin Timberlake remix from Ricky Vaughn. This is the third JT remix he’s released and the third one to really impress me, and he’s said that he has more on the way. Next up we’ve got a bunch of Hip-Hop and Grime infused Trap before getting back to the more electronic side with J.Rabbit, Big Chocolate, Carnage, Dan Farber and more. The last few songs really cool things down and the list ends with an amazing remix of the classic tune “Smoke Rings (Where Do They Go)” perfect for a lazy summer evening.

Where's Your Head At (Team Bayside High & Willy Joy Bootleg)
Today, we are very pleased to bring you the premiere of a huge new track from Team Bayside High and Willy Joy. Both these names have been seen often on The Music Ninja, as TBH have released some of the heaviest trap we’ve ever heard with their remix of Pantera‘s “Walk”, while showing their versatility with the incredibly chill remix of The Postal Service. Willy Joy has been releasing free tracks almost weekly for the past several months as part of his “Free Willy Wednesday”, and has been featured many times on our Trap Dojo and Friday Party Playlists and has shown an ability to turn any remix he touches to gold. “Where’s Your Head At” by Basement Jaxx is an all time EDM Classic, and while it is generally a tricky situation to tackle a classic, these guys do it with ease. You’ll be sure to be singing along to the classic lyrics while Willy and TBH throw down some really heavy trap flavor sure to have your head banging at whiplash levels. As the current inception of trap music enters its sophomore year and the genre begins to mature, Team Bayside High and Willy Joy are sure to become real heavyweights in the scene. They both have the experience as well as a daringness to tackle any style and to push the limits of what constitutes Trap music.

[Chill Trap] The Postal Service – Such Great Heights (Team Bayside High Bootleg)
After releasing one of the heaviest trap songs we’ve ever heard, a remix of Pantera’s “Walk” featured on this weeks Trap Dojo, Chicago duo Team Bayside High show a completely different side with a beautifully chill remix of one of our favorite songs by The Postal Service. Their Bootleg of “Such Great Heights” features heavy soothing bass lines, chimes and whistles, perfect for sitting back, spacing out and thinking of warm summer nights. After remixing Metal and Indie, who know’s whats next for these talented producers, because clearly nothing is off limits for them to remix and absolutely destroy in any way they want.
[MP3 Playlist] The Trap Dojo #23
I apologize for the delay with this weeks dojo, but we’re coming at you with so many huge hits this week that i’m sure it will make up for it. Jumping right into it, Team Bayside High takes on the task of remixing a truly classic dance hit, “Make You Sweat” better known as “Everybody Dance Now”. They do all the right things to this remix, with several different trap builds and drops, emphasizing the famous lyrics or their own take on the melody. Next up is the masked man himself, UZ, remixing Birdy Nam Nam. You may have seen this posted earlier this week as part of the Birdy Nam Nam Remix EP. This track is incredibly funky with great drumwork throughout. Butch Clancy continues his Trap Tuesday series with this weeks “Dopeboy”, my favorite trap track of his so far. With huge bass and bells, this is real gangster trap shit to rattle the trunk as you’re driving through the hood. Heroes X Villains, a name who we see far too little of teases us with the full preview of their remix of “Jah No Partial”. Even though they don’t release as frequently as others, every track is fire, and this track proves they are worth the wait. A couple weeks ago, I told you to keep an eye on Snails in 2013, and so far he has lived up to that hype, releasing this massive heavy hitter, as well as a killer dubstep track this week alone. Trap Dojo regular Ookay is back, having just signed to Borgore’s label. “Hey Freak is filled with blazing high synths and some serious footwork set to make you kick up a storm. RaceCarBed just released a new EP this week filled with deep basslines, and oozing with purped out swag. Click the “Buy” link to get the whole EP. Grandtheft, who you probably recognize from his insane collaboration with Diplo kills this remix of “Tuna Melt” that will have you saying “Damn son, where’d you find this sandwich?”. While Dubstep is still not an old genre by any means, there are still a number of tracks that you can consider classics, one of which is “Sweet Shop” by Doctor P. While its always tough to remix a classic, Big Makk keeps it fairly simple, adding some drums to the notoriously high pitched drop, while chopping up the synths only enough to really trap it out, before going really hard in the second half.
A few tracks later, which are all great, but I wont mention because this post is already getting out of hand, comes the cool down section of our dojo training. I never thought I would be putting Justin Beiber on the dojo, but the way this is chopped and screwed into a Future Trill ballad had me playing this one on repeat. Lastly, Huglife seems to have created a subgenre of his own: Indie-Trap. This track shows what i really love about Huglife, whether he’s producing big-room bangers, or remixing indie coffee shop tracks into some chill love trap, its always above par.
