Somalian MC K’Naan has been involved in many projects over the years, including working on ‘Wavin’ Flag’, a song for the 2010 World Cup. Now he’s dropped ‘Waiting Is A Drug’ and a cover of Bob Dylan’s ‘With God On Our
Side’ as the B-side for Record Store Day. A gentle and sparse cover with gorgeous strings, K’Naan shows his genre-crossing prowess on ‘With God On Our Side’. ‘Waiting Is A Drug’ is available on limited edition 7″.

[Chill Remix] Bon Iver – Holocene (BA$SY Remix)

Posted by Rex Buchanan - April 23, 2012

Wisconsin eclectic Bon Iver is known for creating beautiful soundscapes and interesting melodies in his songs. Earning the Grammy for Best New Artist this year signified the level of respect and admiration the music industry has for this talented chap. Up and comer Ba$sy bravely decided to give his take on Bon Iver’s most popular track “Holocene” and I’d say he did a good job. By chopping up the vocal a bit and beefing up the drums Ba$sy stayed true to the original sound while enhancing it, which is what remixing is all about.

James Egbert – In The Beginning Ft. Brittany Egbert (Original Mix)

Posted by Clayton Warwick - April 20, 2012

Colorado based producer/DJ James Egbert has really come into his own. We’ve been tracking him for a quite a while now; posting his original tracks, and also catching him at shows around town. His style continues to get more educated, technical, and unique.

This preview is of his title track from his new album – In the Beginning. The song features vocals from his sister, recording artist Brittany Egbert. The vocals are well treated, and play nice with the electro driven synths. And as usual, James does a great job of going from calm to chaotic in the blink of an eye.

Look for this song, and the rest of the album, out on his label (Fuzion Musik) April 30th.

[New Album] Klaypex – Ready To Go

Posted by Rex Buchanan - April 20, 2012

Klaypex isn’t just a random assortment of letters, it is a kick ass DJ / producer duo from Miami! Their sophomore EP “Ready To Go” spans the EDM landscape with everything from dubstep to moomba to house, all the while keeping the smooth chord progressions, stuttered vocals and gritty bass lines rolling. We especially enjoyed the vocal stylings of Sara Kay on “Sunrise” and “Stars”. Nearly every track on “Ready To Go” features much brighter vibes than we are used to these days, which is a nice change of pace. All too often bass music can get too dark and gloomy, but the Klaypex dudes keep it fun and bright, probably as a reflection of the sunny place they call home. Still, they definitely know their synth programming and many of their bass concoctions are just as gritty as they are funky. If their songs tickle your fancy you can pick up “Ready To Go” on Beatport and follow them on Soundcloud for more Klaypex action!
