Posted by Ivan Chung - January 13, 2016

JOYRYDE Ft. RICK RO$$
WINDOWS

Kicking off the year 2016, JOYRYDE has managed to gather all the hype in the world and created a brand to himself. His new track, titled “Windows”, was meant to be a collab with Shaquille O’Neal. A Rick Ross verse was then inserted in production, which would ultimately end up as this epic track. JOYRYDE incorporates a series of brassy synth stabs into a trap beat, together with the heavyhitting kicks that will give you endless adrenaline rush. Rick Ross’ verse fits right in the mix, resulting in an urban dance joint that exemplifies the “Rosé Swurve” fusion.

Check out this music video that came out with the track after the jump.

What Do You Mean (ELIAS Bootleg)

Stream Only

Among the thousand Justin Bieber remixes out there, this one definitely caught our attention. Norwegian producer ELIAS has given the Biebs hit a future house rearrangement, and it certainly pleased our ears.

Believe it or not, ELIAS is only 15 years old, yet his producing skills go far beyond his age. A neat house beat and sustained effect are added in to the original track up until the massive drop, which features a series of horn stabs and a melody provided by the lively trumpet synths. The hardhitting bassline brings out the future element of the track, resembling the sound of producers like Oliver Heldens, who actually featured one of his songs “Intruder” on his Heldeep Radio show.

We are thoroughly impressed by this melody-driven tune and will be expecting big things from the young artist in the near future.

Unique feat. Anderson .Paak

It is no secret that The Music Ninja crew are fans of the DMV-native Goldlink. Ever since his critically-acclaimed debut mixtape The God Complex hit the web, his rap career has been on a steady projection towards making him one of the greats in the game. From making the XXL Freshman list to teaming up with Soulection and touring around the nation, Goldlink’s definitely been making some major moves.

Last week, fellow DMV native Wale took to his Twitter to drop Goldlink’s latest track “Unique.” The Louie Lastic-produced tune is a little something new from the young emcee but still has that same 90’s club/dance rhythm that has become signature for him with some added disco and go-go music. Link trades in spitting some quick-tongued bars for singing. Fellow newcomer and recent success story Anderson .Paak joins in to take over a couple verses.

Take a listen and be sure to pre-order your copy of the upcoming debut And After That, We Didn’t Talk, which drops Nov.13th.

Movements feat. Yung Fusion (Delusion Remix)

Here’s a tune to help get through your Wednesday struggles. Delusion fused soulful keys with Yung Fusion‘s rap verse, resulting in a remix of Pham‘s “Movements” that perfectly showcases the producer’s sound. The tune gets kicked up a notch at the beat drop, which has a subtle house beat that’s mixed in with distorted synth. The intricate drums and masterful sampling skills are barely scratching the surface of what the young producer can do. It goes to show that dance music is not exclusive to big room, but also to chill vibes and other “lighter” music.

We are very impressed by this release by Delusion. Make sure to tune in as we’re expecting more music coming your way.
