Emune - Auras [EP]

If plodding snare drums, lazy kick drums and un-quantized hi-hats are your jam then welcome Emune’s Auras into your music library. The boom bap specialist utilizes every piece in his drum kit. The nearly 11 minute beat tape has a lot of great moments. Lots of dark auras. The track “slip” is a haunting record featuring eerie clips saying, “dream,” and “in the heart or in the head.” It’s the kind of distorted mess that would play in a horror flick moments before some demonic character leaps into view. “lightmares” sounds like it could have been lifted from an ‘80s B-Movie. Solid sounds here, definitely worth copping here.

Creature In The Woods // Marinate Mix

No, Creature In The Woods isn't a backwoods folk band from Des Moines, Iowa. Creature In The Woods is a solo music venture by New York producer Tyler Morrisette. He builds energetic beats with crafty drumwork, thoughtful synth patterns, and he collaborates with some extremely talented vocalists. His (debut) self-titled EP is truly one of the best short releases of 2014.

His mix offers up some of his original tracks, remixes, and also features some of his favorites from FLYamSam, Cypress Hill and BBNG, among others. This mix captures the best of different genres and styles that have influenced Morrisette's work. This mix is a great introduction. Keep an ear to the ground because Creature In The Woods is an emerging talent and we expect him to do big things in 2015. Hit the jump for the tracklist.

Ostinato - Memory Loss [LP]

Ostinato's Memory Loss is nine tracks of nonstop action. The Australian producer crafts his latest LP using a blend of juke elements, house, and bass sensibilities. He employs droning backdrops, quickly paced drumwork, button mashing blips and synth leads that sound like they're powering up a space vessel into warp drive. Listen to this one and take a trip down memory lane...in the fast lane.

Tales of Money and Power: God Fears Aliens' Delete

Portland, Oregon is known for a lot of things, namely: Being hipster as hell--spawning Fred Armistan's sketch comedy show Portlandia. Having great donuts, tons of food carts and microbreweries. Overall, the city known for being extremely progressive and diverse. Basically, Portland is great. Only in Portland would God Fears Aliens exist. The collective, God Fears Aliens, frequently shortened to GFA, features a number of producers and rappers who call the Northwest home.

The group has beats from Potholes In My Blog frequent Stacy and Modern Outfit's snugsworth, among others. Delete is an ambitious 17-track release that stylistically jumps from Houston-style chopped and screwed to sampled boom-bap joints in an instant. The topic of conversation for the group remains consistent throughout: money, power, drugs and sexual conquest. Over heavy, trunk-rattling beats the confident bunch tell tales of how large they live. What they've put together is similar to early 2000s Houston hip-hop, but their home is nearly 2000 miles northwest of Codeine rap's epicenter.

Listen to YK's Driving New Track "AQUARIUS"

"AQUARIUS" is a new sample heavy jam from young British producer YK. The spastic two-minute track plays out like a sped-up train ride--stuttering at stops along the way and then running at an incredible pace when it gets moving. The Brit typically crafts upbeat, dub sounds with a keen ear for adding percussive elements and manipulating vocal samples. "AQUARIUS" will appeal to folks who listen to Clams Casino as well as people with ears.

Flamingosis - "She Loved Me"

If you’re a fan of chopped up funk, samba and soul riffs with an electronic flair then Aaron Velasquez’s alter ego Flamingosis needs to be on your radar. The Dilla-inspired boom-bap producer often re-imagines classic hip-hop jawns and flips them into groovy, dancefloor bound renditions. Flamingosis’s latest beat “She Loved Me” is an upbeat rework of The Cyrkle’s “The Visit (She Was Here)." Its guitar chops are tops and its driving drum loop is on point. You’ll want to peep this.

Cincinnati // On The Rise // Mix

Cincinnati is an old pork production metropolis with German roots. Its music landscape is largely flooded by folksy rock foursomes and long-haired guitarists who employ heavy reverb. Think music for blue collars. And, that grit hasn't changed...but the sound is evolving and it's an exciting time for audiophiles.

While Cincinnati does boast a nice hip-hop resume (at least for a city its size), it doesn't have an identity/aesthetic like other Midwestern cities (Minneapolis, St. Louis, Chicago).

So, here, this mix showcases a different 'Cincinnati'-- A Cincinnati music scene that's a little bit of an electronic playground, a pinch boom-bap soul and with voices proud to be from the Queen City, USA.

(Some KY artists include Elle Herring, tinyforest--they've been included because they're dope. That is all.)

Ziga Murko - "mr. Morti (himself)"

Practically anyone can make something complicated. It just took me 15+ steps to finish making this grilled cheese sandwich. (Which was delicious.) But, to make something complicated simple, that's what separates good artists from great ones. Ziga Murko, a Slovenian "trombonist, composer, producer," does this with his chill, organic beat "mr.Morti (himself)." [via] The track dips its feet in trip-hop, Nightmares On Wax territory, but stays very much in the realm of jazz music. This track isn't much different than Jeremy Sutton's 'Mr. Morti'--an expression of self, raw and improvised. There's a lot to like here, give this one a listen.

MR•CARMACK - "insomnity (again)"

By: Belinda Cai

Honolulu’s MR•CARMACK is a true master of trap, a genre emerging from Southern hip-hop that features 808 drum machines, screwed samples, synthesizers, strings and an assortment of effects. "insomnity (again)" exhibits all of the most recognizable components of trap, with an experimental and unearthly edge. "insomnity (again)" and MR•CARMACK’s other tracks are ideal to both dance to or chill out to, depending on the listener’s mood.

MR•CARMACK knows how to build delightful, synth-y and stirring tension with "insomnity (again)." The vocal sample cooing, “Where are you going now?” is otherworldly and sublime, easy on the ears in contrast to the progressively noisy industrial clatter happening in the background. After the initial bubble of suspense, MR•CARMACK releases the build with a climactic drop at about a minute in; this instantly and irrevocably hooks the listener.

Kenja - "Tryna See" [Free DL]

By: Belinda Cai

Kenja is SoCal fresh, producing music that is reminiscent of an evening drive down Pacific Coast Highway—peaceful and chill yet exhilarating. The drive then turns into a night out in downtown Los Angeles full of blurry lights, colorful glimpses and good vibes. It is pure electronica at its finest, interlacing addicting beats with ambient samples.

The free download, “Tryna See” is a prime example of a track jam-packed with electro beats. It has a drum loop complete with intermittent clicking and spacey sound effects. The song is comparable to taking a nighttime walk along the beach and gazing up at an endless maze of stars. “It’s like we’ve all just woken up one morning. Is it a dream? Is it a nightmare? What’s been going on? We’re all just trying to make the next day a bit better.”

WINTER WINDS vol. 1 (Compilation by SVNSET WAVES)

Today, Dec. 28th 2013, isn’t just another maddeningly slow day after the holidays and before the new year is upon us. It’s the day Texas-based blog SVNSET WΛVES drops their final seasonally-themed compilation tape of 2013. The 15-track collection features original joints from young, talented producers wwebss, TWOS, XED, Kruisemode, Fluss (to name a few) and several other beatmakers who tap into hip-hop, bass and R&B influences to craft electronic jams.

Atlanta’s XED, 19 year-old producer and FL Studio master, comes through with his contribution “Actions”. It’s a smashing hip-hop jawn. It begins with the backdrop of a city soundscape that dissolves away and in its place he employs splashes of vocal pads and banging bass lines. It’s damn good. Actually, this whole compilation is damn good. Give this one a listen; guaranteed you’ll be replaying a lot of these tracks.

Sampha - "Too Much" (Soft Glas Remix)

By: Belinda Cai

UK electro singer-songwriter Sampha may be best known for his collaborative works with artists Drake and SBTRKT, but he’s also making waves as a standalone musician. “Too Much” is a soulful piano-driven tune with soft, tender crooning. It may be slow and poignant, but it’s powerful in its vocal prowess and moving melody.

Soft Glas takes this heartfelt R&B original and gives it a full-on celestial makeover. His starry remix features droning beats and vocal distortion on repeat in the background. The only lyrics, “Don’t think about it too much,” reverberate like powerful echoes in an empty hallway. You’ll want to turn the speakers up for full effect when it comes to this dreamy, electronic remix that takes Sampha to a whole new level.

Izzy Bizu - "White Tiger" (Stikz Remix) [FREE DL]

Earlier this year 19 year-old Brit Izzy Bizu put out an infectious (as in catchy, not achoo catchy) track entitled, "White Tiger". It's simply her vocals (some gorgeous vocals) paired with an upbeat, stomping piano beat. It's on the same level as Sampha's "Indecision" as far as tear jerkingly beautiful tracks are concerned.

Austrian producer Stikz must agree with me. He says, "lovely tune by izzy bizu. [sic] had this song in my head for days, so i decided to chop it up a little and see what i can do with it." [via] He's being modest of course, turning her piano heavy rendition into a bass heavy, synth trickling, head-nodding jam. He splashes a little vocal stab here. Adds some whining leads there. And, *poof* magic. You'll want to snag this one.

Hear the original "White Tiger" after the jump.

Dose - "Best Night"

It starts off like this: a hazy, fog-like aura looms over the crowded dance floor. Two sweating bodies are lost in the web of it all. Eyes hanging low. Feet clobbering the tiles. The music is stuck in the late night molasses too. Synth pads seem to sustain forever. The kick drum sounds muffled and half awake.

Dose's "Best Night" is like a memory of any 'best night' you've ever had. No longer vivid or crisp, but buried in the muck of memories. Only upon reflection does its dialogue and imagery reverberate into fruition. The faces blurry, but there. The tempo slow, but steady. It's most definitely the best night you've ever had, because it's still in your memory bank--a party stewing in your hippocampus driving the expectations of every night to come.
