Time to heat this winter up.

First up is Wheathin:

The dude’s the youngest producer to have been picked up by Australia’s Future Classic records – home of some of my favourite producers/artists such as Flume, Chet Faker, etc. He’s putting out bangers and was born in the year 1999. Crazy, right? I couldn’t be more excited to hear what this guy’s got coming up.

You won’t have to listen to these songs for very long to realize why I’m so excited about this kid:

Paul O’Brien aka Wildfire has been making bangers. If you like this one, definitely check out his remix of Alison Wonderland.

graves & MYRNE – Tiger Blood

This tune goes too hard not to post.

The Golden Pony – How the Beat is Dropped.

My favourite good-times / house duo from NYC. These guys crush every remix they throw down, it’s pretty obvious how they got so popular so quickly. All pop, no stop.

Home (Ft. Richard Caddock) – Laszlo

Who is Laszlo?

This 17 year old Laszlo continues to stun the world with this melodic piece. Richard Caddock’s soothing vocals mesh perfectly with Laszlo’s production. The 17 year old released his debut Closer EP  5 months ago via Monstercat. The EP demonstrates how much potential this kid has. Being only 17, let’s face it, the kid has lots of time on his hands. His vocals are featured on his track  Closer  and it’s motivating to see someone of his age with this high of a production level. Fuck sitting around playing video games all day.
Mark my words, Laszlo is next
Guap – out.

The track is all about keeping things switched, with HenchmanFrank showcasing a super strong lyrical skill set. Do the get to know for both these cats.

Sowwie (Marvel’s Midnight Mix)

The Freshest member Marvel just came through with a new J Beebs flip. Spun into a smooth pop chiller. Canadas biggest mainstreamer and his Canadian choice word anthem just got a little more apologetic. Sorry.
