Hot sensation Azealia Banks is back with yet another new track, and like her previous releases, ‘Nathan’ is a belter. Drums Of Death provide jittery electro beats, allowing Ms Banks to unleash her slick flow and drive up the pace of the track. The legendary Styles P guests, making ‘Nathan’ one of Azealia’s most exciting tracks to date. Stay tuned for more from the Harlem dance-rap queen.
Sir Bob Cornelious Rifo has done it again, this time with some old school Daft Punk’esk vibes. It’s hard hitting, grimey, and funky all at the same time. The video to be honest is what sold me, it takes you on a wild ride through what I can only imagine is everyday life for BBR. But seriously there needs to be more women like this chick, ladies take notes. I feel somewhat guilty for sharing this video because of how many kids are gonna run out and get DUI’s raging in their cars to this track, oh well just don’t party to hard guys. Cheers.
If you’re a fan of moombahton, then chances are you have heard of D!RTY AUD!O. Based from Los Angeles, the producer first discovered EDM when he was 12 years old and soon found his way with djing and began producing two years ago. He first gained notice with his bootleg remixes of Doctor P’s “Tetris” and Diplo and Datsik’s “Pick Your Poison”. His biggest release so far has been his remix of Leisure’s “Savior”, which climbed high on beatport’s electro-house charts. On top of producing and djing, D!RTY AUD!O also runs his own label “Grindin Records”.
His latest track “Different Cities” with Aylen featuring Jitta on the Track includes heavy kicks, catchy vocals, and a mix of dutch bleeps and heavy robot sounds to get your head nodding. I know this won’t be the last time we feature one of D!RTY AUD!O’s tracks since his tracks continue to get better and better.
Ladies and gentlemen, please let me introduce you to 21 year old Los Angeles producer, MacKenzie Johnson. MAKJ, as he is better known in the Electronic scene, just recently dropped a bumpin’ bootleg package in celebration of his 21st birthday.
Though nearly every track is fump-worthy (‘first’ & ‘pump’..), ‘Black Lowrider’ emerges as the package victor; a masterfully crafted mash up between WAR’s 70s classic, ‘Low Rider’, and (slightly more recent) a remix of Felix Cartel’s ‘Black to White’ by Clockwork. WAR’s iconic vocals over Clockwork’s banging beats surprisingly work together in a near flawless manner, especially towards the peak of the foreboding buildup. By the beard of Zeus – that buildup..Â
The entire package is up for free download on MAKJ’s Facebook – please show the man some love by simply giving his page a ‘Like’.

Diplo’s label “Mad Decent” is known for releasing some of the best tracks that are guaranteed to get you dancing and your head nodding, and this release is certainly no different. After first hearing this track in Diplo’s moombahton mix last year, Mad Decent has finally officially released Shaun-D’s track, “It’s About To Go Down” for free. Shaun-D is definitely one to keep an eye out for in his upcoming releases.
Yesterday we got blessed by with this collab, featuring Russian superstars Hard Rock Sofa & Swanky Tunes. Their sounds complement each other extremely well and they throw down a masterful mix in this preview of their track, “Here We Go”. Once this track gets going, it doesn’t let up, bringing a nearly perfect melody that got stuck in my head immediately after the first listen. So stoked for this release which is going to be on July 9th, so get ready to rage. Cheers.
If by now you don’t know who Netsky is, let me introduce you.  Netsky is a Belgium Drum and Bass artist who has apparently decided to venture into tracks that are far more “electrohousey”, but no one is complaining.  After his release of “Come Alive” its become clear that electronic is where he’s meant to be.
This track, “Puppy” off his latest album “2″, is an extensive upbeat electronic juggernaut with powerfully bright melodies, perfect for a summer dance playlist. Although “2″ provides a different direction to what we are used to seeing from Netsky, there are still many tracks that appeal to his drum & bass style. Tracks like “Drawing Straws” are more technical in nature to please the hardcore drum&bass fans, while others like “Love Has Gone” come across as bigger than life anthems, perfect for playing at festivals. From its production to its very eclecticism, “2″ proves Netsky’s maturity as a contributing member of the EDM scene.
The full album “2″ was released the 25th and it is now on iTunes. Explore Netsky’s other release here.
