100s – IVRY

Swavey, hair manicured 100s signed on with the exact right label. Fools Gold Records has been on the forefront of new Rap since it’s beginning. A-Traks own personal beginning of course shaping the labels Hip Hop involvement, and it’s all been choice. Cool Kids, Danny Brown, Just Blaze, Kid Kudi, Kid Sister and Lil B are all currently on the roster, and influences of the genre on this and the last generation. ‘IVRY’ is said to bring West Coast Rap back to the future.. It does just this. One through eight take Club Rap into a whole new element, all too freshly. ‘Fucking Around’ & ‘A Different Kind of Love’ feat. Cherub are huge standouts. Plus it’s all free.

T.I. & Lil Wayne + Clams Casino = Ball

Aha, mad clever. Neither Weezy nor, Mac Miller reside in my top 20 rappers. This fact in tact, ‘Cold Feet‘ is still my favourite Mac Miller track do date. As high quality as his videos are they never managed to sell the music as good. The productions he’s managed to get on top of are good enough to confuse people into thinking it’s good rap somehow.. Not that a good remix hasn’t come as a result of the guy, or that I’ve even never enjoyed a couple of his musics. But for the most part, it’s poop in a hand. Take this dgmashup for example, an acapella, from another song, had better placement on the beat..

Pretty Lights – Lost and Found

Now if you’re anything like me, Pretty Lights’s most recent album A Color Map of the Sun struck you as an instant classic. Thirteen soulful tracks of vinyl-pressed gold that I played on repeat, at best during times when I had the chance to listen to it from beginning to the end (I recommend jamming to it on the Sea to Sky Highway if you’re headed that way anytime soon). Pretty Lights has been making good music for a long time, but everything since A Color Map has just solidifed his synth-ridden style as unique and completely his own. I was lucky enough to catch him live at Squamish Valley last year on my birthday and he definitely did not disappoint!

Fans, the Odesza remix of this tune is definitely also worth listening to .

Husky – Step Back (Diverse Remix)

Maybe it’s just and avid soundcloud user thing but I’m pumped to see Husky get remixed and get an upload a ways away from Nu Bytes, his label. Sutton Coldfield, Britain’s Diverse aka 19 year old John Edgley on the remix for Filthy Fortune Records.

Alpines – Oasis (Danglo Remix)

It’s amazing how welcoming poolside sounds are when you wake up in the morning and walk out into a minus 33 winter.. Never heard of either or these artists to date, and maybe it’s just good climate longing, but it’s totes funky. Danglo is giving it up for free if you like Alpines Facebook page.
