Got a new one for yall’s. Villa Medema, an unheard name until today based out of Denver, and member of new collective CVILLOU has let loose a hard chilling heater. Using Akon’s ‘Right Now’ as the R&B key to our hearts, backed by substantial bass, dreamy af synth work, and drums to lean to was made one to bliss out to.. so hard. Check up on the artist and collective for future works.
There’s no questioning the rise and prominence of collectives. And it’s funny how “union” is such a dirty word and “collective” is so sought after.. Hegemon though, huge strides on it’s rise to a current abilty of 27k plays in a day. It’s no wonder Apple and the big three are laying so hard into streamings own ability of reach. Rant points aside OBESØN went very chill in the Trap for the Nest QH Premiere. Free DL HERE.
Let’s just take a moment and bow our heads. Think of Boy 8-Bit in the early thousands and how dope he was. Then let’s shift toward the notion of Acid revival. Now, combine the two and before you now is one of Boy 8-Bit‘s more recent monikers with which he has delved into such waters. Out on Revival Turf.
Of late what has been keeping my attention to an artist or a track is any playfulness. Playfulness for me being genre melding, and lightness, overall. Dirty wobbles are certainly a huge selling point as well. This remake comes as a re-introduction to Spaniard UFO-Project after an number of years. And it seems as though the producer has been sending out plenty of the right vibrations in that time. It’s being tagged #RebelBass, but you can decide.
Fuuuuuuck. Dome piece blown 30 seconds in… London x New Castle axis operator Xaatu lays waist all over everything with a wobble hard Yeezy flip x original. It’s a Kanye “Good Life” vocal sample innit but there’s a good chance you wouldn’t have noted it if you hadn’t read this first.. Hit it and cop the free HERE. #MoreAssThanTheModels
Was reading some words on the pace of accomplishments achieved by Ekali since he first surfaced under the moniker. Shortly thereafter noticed a re-post from Ekali of KRNE. KRNE being another name that has risen to prominence in what seems to be a very short time as well, mind you I don’t know the actual timeline. But it’s with tracks like these that make his rise a no brainer to anyone who may be in question. Listen to the original by Leikeli47 HERE. And bang out to KRNE’s above, of course.
PS. If you’ve been lacking in M.I.A. this’ll quench nice.
It’s weird to be back. But it’s high time I took to the keys again. For my first in months it felt right to begin again with what I believe to be the most appropriate and relevant way the beloved DJ Mehdi’s ‘Signature’ could have possibly been touched. Japan’s Masayoshi Iimori, who has gotten a god nod from Nest HQ hit ‘Signature’ as his latest revisit in a series of cira 2005 Ed Banger Records remixes. This one is such a dope journey you just can’t miss it.

A lot of people say Swedish rapper Yung Lean is carried by his two producers, Yung Gud & Yung Sherman, and I am one of those people. There is something to be said for their ability to capture emotion & colour with trap music (ie melancholy & pastels). The washed-up, faded aesthetic, american/japanese pop-culture references and 90s/2000s throwbacks are also oddly appealing, and have garnered them quite the following. As trio Sad Boys they even have their own board on reddit.
You can find a wider selection of their music on Youtube than Soundcloud. I think this has something to do with how much their aesthetic plays into their popularity.
Yung Gud is really nice to drive around at night to. And for something a little different:
If you like, it’s worth your time to check out neighboring Stockholm rap/trap collective Gravity Boys/Shield Gang, of which Yung Sherman is also a member.
