[Hip-Hop] Azad – “Enough of You” (Karnaval Blues Remix)

Azad
Enough of You (Karnaval Blues Remix)

“Enough Of You” is Sango, Atu and Dpat all producing under the smooth flow of LA-based rapper, Azad. As if that couldn’t get any better, it was just flipped brilliantly by the indie producer Karnaval Blues. With names like this on the original saying the bar is set high would be an understatement. But with Karnaval Blues’ washed-out take on the production and mixing of Azad’s rap it surpasses expectation. Thanks to this epic flip, we’ve got a new up-and-comer we’ll be certainly keeping an eye on. Give it a listen above.

The triumvirate of Atu, Dpat, and Brent Faiyaz have spent the better part of the 2010’s coming into form and finding their signature styles. As some of the more prominent, talented producers in the experimental hip hop / R&B realm, Dpat and Atu both gained a fair amount of recognition among the initiated in 2013. Vocalist Faiyaz made his splash in early 2015, steadily gaining popularity since. Upon signing their allegiances with the Soulection family, both producers released dazzling, emotional projects – both still land favorably on the ever changing bulls-eye of quality music.

[Feels] Soulection – 100K (Free Album)

’IAMNOBODI – Soulection Anthem’
’Sango – Deixe
me’
’ESTA x LAKIM – W Hotel’

Last night, I came across a tweet from Soulectionaffiliated producer Dpat that read, “Emotional Dance Music.” While it was likely intended as a joke, this perfectly describes the genre emerging from the impressive LA-based collective whose roster includes some of the brightest up ‘n coming talents in electronic music today. Melding sounds of classic R&B with experimental elements of various EDM genres, the artists of Soulection have created a unique vibe that is airy, lo-fi and relaxing, yet completely danceable.

Earlier today, to celebrate gaining 100,000 followers on their Soundcloud page, Soulection put out a free compilation full of new material that demonstrates exactly how they have gotten to this point. 100k is an incredibly dope collection that captures the scope of the crew’s talents and uniquely soothing style. Feel the feels with a few of our favorite tracks above and grab the whole project HERE.

Sunday Night Soul (On a Monday) [Vol. 12]

Now that Super Bowl XLVIII is over and done with, Sunday’s are going to be a little less eventful for quite awhile. Luckily for you, you have Sunday Night Soul to look forward to in its absence. Yes, before we begin, we know it’s Monday. We apologize for the delay folks, but that game really drained us out (read: put us to sleep). As a fan who’s had his heart broken multiple times over, I sympathize with all the Broncos fans out there tonight. My only hope is that this week’s serving of soul can be the first step towards recovery for all of you (including many of my fellow ninjas).

This week’s edition is packed with plenty of surprises: with collaborations between Cashmere Cat and Ludacris, unlikely mashups of Justin Timberlake and Dpat, a spectacular cover of “Hold On, We’re Going Home” by Vancouver Sleep Clinic and GXNVXS, and a SevnthWonder trifecta, there’s plenty of treasure tucked away deep in tonight’s set. This may also be the best lineup we’ve ever assembled in terms of debuts. Twin Caverns, Niykee Heaton, Ego Ella May, Adna, Clare Maguire, Maurice, bizZarh, Rook Milo, Black Atlass, Neo Safari, Moody Good♡ EMOJI KING ♡ and i.o. all make worthy additions to the Sunday Night Soul family. Our veterans meanwhile seemed to have doubled their efforts this week, with MadeauxΔGØLDWYN , Fortune, Duncan Gerow, abstract youth and SevnthWonder all making multiple appearances. This is one of those weeks where we wish we could highlight each song individually, but unfortunately there isn’t enough time for that. Instead, we’ll leave the judgments up to you (although we’re fairly certain you’ll enjoy each and every single one of them).
