The Trap Dojo #49

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 #39

We’re kicking off this week with the first track of the new Animal LP from Bro Safari and UFO!. This whole album is filled with killer tracks from all sides of bass music from Trap to Moombah and Dubstep to DnB, and the best part is that its free. Download the whole album here.  Next up, there are a couple tracks from another hot release this week, the Spotlight 1 compilation, which is full of the best EDM around in all styles, with Smookie Illson and K-Theory bringing that trapstyle to the party. When it comes to CRNKN we know him as one of the hottest names in the trap world, with massive track after huge collaboration, and while this time he brings us something completely different, the scale is just as big as his trap songs. CRNKN takes the Must Die! trap original and turns it into a beautiful house beat for a little 4 on the floor for your day.  I promised myself that i wouldnt fill the list with Daft Punk remixes, but there were a couple that you really have to hear, and both of them are of “Doin It Right,” one of my favorite songs on Random Access Memories. First off Vinnie Maniscalco chops and screws the vocals in just the right way while putting a juke/footwork twist on the already high tempo track. I’m saving the other remix for last. Leave it to Valentino Khan to think that it isn’t enough to release a killer new moombah track, but to trap it out himself too. Willy Joy is back too, reminding you of rapper Mike Jones‘s personal phone number, just in case you want to drop him a line. TWRK may be fairly new to the scene, but are absolutely bringing the beats to make her twerk. This collab with Canadian 4KORNERS is easily one of the dirtiest songs I’ve ever heard. “The Whip”  by Foxsky gets a “PLUR Trap” remix from ETC!ETC! on this EP from the Mad Decent/Jeffrees label, along with some amazing remixes by The Reef, Udachi and Vass. Get all of them here for free. Up next, from across the pond,  an ode to that pair of “Dirty Vans” that hold so many memories by The Ninetys. Party Favor has always brought the ruckus, and this new release on Ministry of Sound definitely goes all in. This is a public service announcement from ︻╦╤─ ƱZ ─╤╦︻ reminding you to always КЄЄⱣ Ị₮ ₮ЯỊⱢⱢ. The last few tracks definitely keep it trill with Kaytradana and Kastle who always create some of the most beautiful and evocative soundscapes in Trap music. Finally, Ray Complex slows down “Doin It Right” and makes it the perfect nighttime drive song.

[MP3 Playlist] The Trap Dojo #27

This weeks Trap Dojo is divided into four sections. The first track, from thefaded. kicks off with a massive build up that will have you saying “Wait For It” to drop that almost never seems to come. The mood and pace continues to build over the next few tracks, including the UZ remix of “Cowboy” by Zeds Dead, a remix of Baauer’s “DumDum” and climaxing with Alex Young‘s insane remix of Ah Yeah”. The next four songs are all spaced out trap bangers. Starting it off with the deep and jazzy “Ride Up”, heRobust infuses some electro beats, and the other two tracks lay down a big room sound thats still thuggin enough to hear coming out of the trunk of a Cutlass. I should warn you that the next section is going to be an all out assault on your senses. Starting with some dark drumwork in the intro, “Brain Splat” drops a bassline that will leave your head splattered over your backseat like Marvin from “Pulp Fiction”DJ Snake throws some dark trap with a hardstyle twist over French MC, Stromae’s aggressive bars, then Team Bayside High does something crazy and makes the heaviest track we’ve heard to date. Remixing none other than Pantera, they are able to chop the heavy riffs into filthy trap beats, and June gives us some spooky bass to finish. Our final section includes a remix of the “Django Unchained Theme” by Kissy Sell Out,  some Cyber-Footwork from the LOLGurlz and three progressively more emotionally evocative Love trap songs for a beautiful send off.

I hope you enjoyed this trip through the extremes of trap. Download all the free tracks right here

[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.

[MP3 Playlist] The Trap Dojo #17

Another week, another massive list of trap bangers to make you twerk. If you are stuck studying for finals like so many of us are, make sure to keep your headphones turnt up loud enough to let the people studying next to you in the library know whats up in the trap. Prepare to go “Buck Wild” with this first track by Brillz. This song hits hard in all the right ways with heavy bass and lazers and a super tribal second drop. Next Yellow Claw will make you throw your “Hands Up” with this remix of Dirtcaps but keep your hands down for his next original banger with Cesqeaux, because “Make It Clap” is for asses only. Another couple guys from Amsterdam, The Partysquad work with Tommie Sunshine on this track “Alright” for his recent Scion A/V EP and it is definitely better than just alright. The homie D!RTY AUD!O gets a lot trancier than we are used to hearing from him, but with a deep rumbling bass throughout, he proves that nothing is going to hold him back on his rise to the top of the Trap game. Huglife continues his path towards reclaiming his position as a Trap master with this remix of a classic Outkast track. ƱZ, LOUDPVCK, and many others round out the list while M!NT and Alex Young chill things out at the end.

[MP3 Playlist] The Trap Dojo #1

Welcome to the first volume of The Trap Dojo. This new weekly feature on The Music Ninja will bring you playlists of some of the best new Trap Music being released. This first volume includes some brand new tracks as well as a few of the hottest trap anthems of this past summer, and examples of the versatility of the genre with the many different styles on display.  If you regularly follow The Music Ninja, you may have a vague idea of what Trap Music is; or this may be a completely new musical experience for you. Trap, the label originally applied to Southern Hip-Hop artists like T.I., Gucci Mane, Waka Flocka Flame and others, has now been adopted to describe this new musical movement, using the gangster beat of that Southern Hip-Hop, along with pumping 808 bass sounds, crisp snares and hi-hats, and mixing it with a more electronic sound. One of the fastest growing genres, Trap music is being promoted and produced by the likes of Diplo, Skrillex and some of the biggest names in EDM. Like any genre though, it is best to let the music speak for itself, so turn up your speakers, crank the bass up to “earthquake” and enjoy the first Trap Dojo.
