#FCMV46 | Mixed by Paces

Posted on September 9, 2014 | Comments Off

The game of Trap is often praised as being light music. But like all things North American it seems to have gotten pushed into a harder hitting corner. It’s the Europeans that have held it in large more bedroom esq. This situation makes Gold Coast Australia’s Mike Perry, or Paces a breath of fresh sea air. Mixing Tropical elements with Trap on the regular, most audibly the xylophone, makes for a perfect blend of poolside vibe on top of light Hip Hop. Casual chillin attitude from the curator always goes down well, as well. Signed to DIEHIGH Records, Symbols Recordings and Never Slept Paces has ample platform to keep listeners vibe riding while he carry’s on his own brand.

Going to go ahead an give this day a mellow start. Cool soothing House into slightly more Tron Electronic. ‘Calypsø’ is this French producers latest composition and serves very well in the morning hours. As does his earlier Jazz collaboration (below).

Premiere: WHIPPED CREAM X DMND//CVTTER – Riff Taught Me

Posted on September 8, 2014 | Comments Off

Victoria’s Whipped Cream and Providence based dirty Trap duo DMND//CVTTER bruk out a massive What So Not x OWSLA festival grade banger, paying hommage to Mad Decent pretty boy Riff Raff. Honestly though, pure hype and listening /&+ fist pump wilin’ take from word making in a major way. These two geographically far apart names share tastes in music that bring them so much closer together than any imaginary line can dictate. It’s ladmark to be part of Whipped Creams break into the prodcution game in premiere fashion, esp. with a track like this. Big ups out to DMND//CVTTER as well. And hype seekers need not look any further for sounds to swift kick your monday with. At 2:57 she’s short and sweet like an aerosol blast.

StoneAlice – Breathe On (prod. kubrixXx & kevin james)

Posted on September 7, 2014 | Comments Off

Two high profile directors would have large media presence guiding them through their break into production. One would think. Especially when one of whom has been dead for fifteen full years. Twenty fourteen has been a big year for from death comebacks; Tupac n’ Kubrick, kubrixXx. But na, they both really dead. The two producers of France’s StoneAlice latest are a Columbian duo who bare very open senses of humour as well as love for experimental production, just outside, or within (it’s hard to place at time’s) the realms of Hip Hop. File under #ExperimentalHipHopPop

Also check kubrixXx & kevin james’ 28 track ‘Pancake Bacon.’

Sasha – Baja (Wigzen ReVision)

Posted on September 7, 2014 | Comments Off

In terms of archives my early on collection is mostly CD’s. From the times I would sift through CD stores massive alphabetical sections. S always being a safe bet on a couple of finds. Nu metal and all things similar as per allmusic.com’s all knowing similar artists section were what those times were about. The electronic of the 90’s was just border-lining my musical interest at the time. So when Wigzen call out a throwback like ‘Baja’ it has me ponderin. Well verse in music history to look back to DJ Sasha for a revision? How deep does the record crate go? #ProgressiveZen

turan – Alive

Posted on September 7, 2014 | Comments Off

It’s like I always say, when in doubt about the state of music, never mind the genre, one can look to the UK for a whole new take. Their diversity differs from ours in so many ways. Intellectual, storey telling lyricism being a predominant difference in abundance. Turan or, discoverturan on socials is one such rapper/lyricist furthering music with upwards of fifteen hundred word vocabulary. His ‘Persistence of Memory’ EP is nearing release quickly, from which ‘Alive’ is the third track. Featuring production from Lunar Vale as well as spoken word from turan touching on perceived realities that humans tend to focus our energy on makes it a must listen. The soft yet drastic difference between the two is subtly tremendous.

Pre Order ‘Persistence of Memory’ HERE.

For The Foxes – Easy Way (LoftyLows Edit)

Posted on September 6, 2014 | Comments Off

Has Indie melded into the Chill Trap genre? Officially anywhere? LoftyLows of ____ may just be single handedly spearheading something here. With but one clear Future Bass exception the catalog expresses a clear love for a genre. Indie Dance doesn’t quite fit..
