[House/Future] Kayper – Next Lifetime

With a veritable slew of carefully crafted, tasteful dance music released just in the last year, it’s pretty easy to see why Kayper has garnered artist support from the likes of The Magician and Blonde, and become one of the hottest properties in club land in the process. We last checked in with the London-bred house slinger on the heels of her Terminal EP released on the rapidly ascending Eton Messy Records, and today she’s back with brand new single “Next Lifetime”. A remix of sorts of Erykah Badu’s congruently named single, “Next Lifetime” rolls out to a spacy trot before delving into a chunky yet meticulous groove that’s been earwormed to us since first listen. It’s not every day a turntablist who’s been in the game over 5 years (check out some of her oldest mixes if you haven’t yet) successfully transitions into full-blown artist with such grace and fluidity, but we’ve quickly learned Kayper may be the exception to many a rule.

About Kayper’s newest record, she remarks: “I heard someone playing Erykah Badu’s “Next Lifetime” in their car at the traffic lights while I was driving through Brixton one day and it reminded me of how much I loved that track and her first album which is what inspired me to do my own updated version as a tribute to one of my favorite artists.” It’s safe to say we think she made a great choice in carrying out this latest tune.

[Electronic] Rustie – EVENIFUDONTBELIEVE (Album)

Scottish producer Rustie has been sneakily flooding Soundcloud with manic, mind-blowing productions for the last few months including one he apparently made in the hospital. Yesterday, he casually announced his latest album EVENIFUDONTBELIEVE along with the release of “Peace Upzzz,” which is track 6 from the project. As promised, Rustie’s latest album dropped this morning and it’s a monster. With 15 tracks, it’s some of Rustie’s most ambitious and bombastic work to date drawing clear influence from Glasgow’s electronic scene referencing Happy Hardcore in some of its aesthetics while maintaining a grandiose, trap-influenced sound. You may notice a few tracks on the album are appended (feat. Rustie) signifying that Rustie contributed either guitar or vocals along with production. Check out a couple of the tracks from EVENIFUDONTBELIEVE above and grab a copy here.

[Trap/Future] Milena Dominique – Throw It Back

Soundcloud

“Throw It Back” is a crossover record from Milena Dominique that was produced by the Grammy nominated Ayo. The slow-motion vibe reminds me of the codeine style beats that a lot of rap music is leaning towards nowadays, however with “Throw It Back” we get more influence from more electronic sounds like future bass. The introduction is seductively laid-back, and with a low-key build that brings the listener to the hypnotic drop. There we are met with soft basses and smooth synths, along with cuts from Milena. It’s a party track that puts more emphasis on groove and hop than energy. “Throw It Back” comes in at just under four minutes, but after listening through it doesn’t feel like that much time has passed at all. Milena and Ayo make quite the pair, and we hope to see them work together on something again soon. For now, we only have the stream for “Throw It Back.”

[Deep House] Candyland – Speechless feat. RKCB

Speechless ft. RKCB
Soundcloud

Candyland has done some house stuff before, but not like this. “Speechless” is the act’s newest single and it features RKCB of Los Angeles. Seeking Blue released this deep trek into four-to-the-floor territory on October 30th through digital stores, but it is just being uploaded to Soundcloud today. Highly influenced by pop, this record is one that can bring Candyland some mainstream appeal, not even just exclusively in the dance world. Despite going for a more mainstream sound, Candyland doesn’t play into some of the weaknesses that come with a lot of records that are geared for popularity. Josie truly delivers something that will leave audiences “Speechless” and us ninjas applaud her for going this unusual sonic route. We don’t know if these are coming, but we’re hoping some solid remixes are on the horizon for this amazing original.

[House] Muneshine – SUNSHINE feat. Grimm (LCAW Remix)

SUNSHINE {feat. Grimm} {LCAW Remix}
Buy

German DJ/Producer LCAW brings his remix of “SUNSHINE” to the table by way of a remix EP for the Muneshine original. LCAW is an award winning DJ, so he should know a thing or two about putting his own take on songs by way of mixing, but this time around he gets in the studio to churn out a solid remix that kicks off the remix EP perfectly. His club-centric take on the original, which features the Canadian Grimm, is a bustling work of art that would have been a hit no matter if it was released in the 90’s, 2000’s, now or the future. The Munich music maker managed to create a timeless record that you can sing, and dance along to with ease. Lovers of deep, tech, and the non-festival side of progressive will be ecstatic to hear this interpretation of “Sunshine.”

[House/Big-Room] Adele – Hello (MORTEN Remix)

Hello
Soundcloud

It’s been over a year since we last checked in with Danish DJ/Producer MORTEN, and in that time since, it’s clear to see the genre-eschewing artist has been evolving and fine-tuning a penchant for club anthems. Most recently coming off of a trap-infused remix for The Stafford Brothers’ Jay Sean and Rick Ross featuring single “When You Feel This,” along with recent entries into the Dim Mak and Armada Records camps; MORTEN returns with a lively club-tipping take on Adele’s world-storming single “Hello”. While in the past we’ve seen a very clear festival brand of EDM and trap records from the Dane, this time around MORTEN dials his sound kit closer towards the U.K. ‘club-house’ sector of dance than we’ve ever seen him and unleashes it all towards a higher, yet still utterly groovy cadence. With MORTEN’s same appeal of festival-sized drops executed with a keen underground sensibility, we’re more than excited to see how the maturing artist continues to push the envelope on his expanding sonic palate. In the mean time, grab the free download here, and stream MORTEN’s “Hello” remix above.
