[Electronic] REPRIISE – TEMPLE

Posted by Mitch Marzuola - October 31, 2017

REPRIISE
TEMPLE

When it comes to celebrating October 31st, most people do so with costumes and horror movie binges, but many electronic music fans usually supplement that with the yearly installment of RL Grime‘s Halloween mix. The sixth year in a row of wild premieres, edits, and unreleased material continues to find RL Grime establishing his annual mixes as an opportunity to share not only his own tracks, but also give aspiring producers a chance to level up on a larger playing field.

One unnamed song in particular has had people commenting, and, due to recently finding a post on r/trap, we were able to discover that REPRIISE had posted a massive club/trap/tribal hybrid track that held its own among all of the huge songs throughout the mix. While it was edited with Cardi B’s “Bodak Yellow” in the mix, hearing the song in its original state solidifies its infectious rhythm with drums and percussion fit to bust your speakers. The entire Halloween mix never fails to be a spectacle, and REPRIISE certainly had created a chance to capitalize on an enormous original tune. Catch more of REPRIISE’s material here.

[Electronic] Halsey – Bad At Love (Autograf Remix)

Posted by Sara Natkins - October 14, 2017

We’ve been missing music trio Autograf for a little while now, since they put out their last original “Sleepless in NYC.” But thankfully, they’re back, and this time, they’re supplying us with their fresh take of Halsey’s “Bad At Love.” In their rendition of the pop hit, they introduce quite a different sound from what we’re accustomed to, and we are definitely okay with it. Autograf go a bit harder than normal in the remix, sneaking in the perfect dose of trap elements without overpowering the “Bad At Love’s” innate pop vibe. Get ready to have this one on replay all weekend.

It’s been some time since we’ve heard from French artist Rusty Hook. If you’re wondering where he went, he’s been hard at work putting the finishing touches on his forthcoming solo EP Romance Is Dead, Good Riddance. It is exactly for this reason that we are so excited to be presenting his debut single off the project, “Relief” featuring brother/sister duo Truitt.

We were instantly swept off our feet with the soulful vibe of “Relief.” He cooks up a pleasurable recipe that includes just the right proportions of elements from styles like indie, r&b and and electronic. The original’s genre-defying production is balanced by the comforting vocals of Truitt and coalesce for a hook that will easily stick with you. Like what you hear with “Relief?” Then make sure to keep your eyes peeled for the November release of Rusty Hook’s EP.

At The Music Ninja, we LOVE Fridays. Not only does it mean we get to relax, have fun and sleep in, but most importantly, it means new music. This is also why Friday is one of the hardest days for us. With so many incredible releases, it’s quite difficult for us to tackle all of those newfound singles in one day. That’s why today we are going to share one of our favorite Friday finds from hard trap pioneer SAYMYNAME titled “Drop It.”

The Los Angeles-based producer had us on the edge of our seats with his blood-pumping single. Bass lovers around the world are bound to fall head over heels for the original’s dirty demeanor. The excitement doesn’t just end with the release though. “Drop It” comes with the exciting news of SAYMYNAME’s recent announcement of his US What’s My Name Tour. Make sure to snag a ticket while you can here. We can only say that this tour is one you won’t want to miss, and his latest single is a perfect reason why.

[House] Drezo X Dustycloud – House

Posted by Sara Natkins - October 10, 2017

We know mornings can be quite the feat. It’s always a challenge to wake yourself from a peaceful slumber and find the motivation to pull yourself out of the warm and cozy bed. Whether it’s heading off to class or another 8-hour work day, the difficulty never fades. That’s why this Tuesday morning we are thankful to have come across Drezo and Dustycloud’s energy-driven collaboration “House.”

Guided by electrifying synths and supported with a bassline that gets the adrenaline kicking, “House” is the wake up call we’ve all been asking for – one that won’t have you moaning and groaning and the thought of leaving the bed. Take a listen and we can assure that you’ll be “up and at ’em” in no time.

Since it’s origin the future beat genre has quickly spread into all types of music. At the same time I think we’ve seen less artists embrace that og future beat style and pick up on the original idea to move it forward. But I just came across this new song, “With You” where SoDown and Moontricks throw down what’s now an almost classic electronic sound. The breakdown is a highlight and might remind you of an early Odezza. At the same time they bring in Carly Lynn, who’s modern vocal style takes “With You” to another level and gives it a very forward-thinking sound.

[Electronic] San Holo – I Still See Your Face

San Holo is making his return to The Music Ninja with yet another stunning masterpiece, “I Still See Your Face.” The new release is undoubtedly following the path towards the same massive success seen with his previous originals like “Light” and “The Future.” But this time, the bitbird head honcho throws quite a large curveball at listeners. Known for enlisting vocalists that perfectly complement each track he’s put out thus far, “I Still See Your Face” showcases Holo’s vox for the very first time and boy, we are definitely not disappointed.

The song stays true to the Dutch producer’s signature brand of sound as it features a buoyant, enrapturing melody constructed by youthful synths and chimes. “I Still See Your Face” will be the first single on the second Gouldian Finch compilation album. Also make sure to peep the official music video here.
