#electro trap

part of my future trap collection, finished putting this together last night

UK-born, LA-based producer Jackal has taken his time releasing new tunes for most of the year, having only returned a couple months prior with his first trap and bass opus in awhile named Don’t Come Near Me I Am A Monster. He’s since followed it up with this wonder-inducing beauty, In Love With Nobody, on Lowly Palace. The melodic bass and electro trap masterpiece gives us a glimpse into Jackal’s new vision of using his music as an expressive tool. It’s incredible how a glitchy humming, fizzy swiveling track like this can draw deep feelings out of our hearts, but that’s exactly what In Love With Nobody does while echoing the lonesomeness that resonates deep within our beings. But at the same time, it fills that void, reminding us of the beauty of the world, giving us a taste of hope, destiny, and rebirth. Jackal says: "'In Love With Nobody' is actually a happy track. It comes from the feeling of relief of being independent and having no feelings for anyone. The title is kind of an ode to one of my all time favourite bands The Smiths. I feel like Morrissey would totally name a track 'In Love With Nobody.'" You can also stream In Love With Nobody via Jackal’s Spotify, here.

I made a track! Starting off the year making music. Let me know what you think!

Montreal DJ and production duo Paris & Simo have ditched their previous name for a freshly minted moniker, Prince Paris. But they sure haven’t deserted their sprightly flickering, roseate prancing future pop sound on new single All Of You, a collaboration with prolific Dutch talent Beau Collins. Imagine if Tove Lo and Whethan came together to craft the perfect bubbly aerated, fizzy carbonated dance pop song brimming with feel good vibes and a load of extra upbeat and playful charm. Cue All Of You and its sparkling suds. All Of You is as euphoric a tune as it gets, and you can also stream the uplifting electronic track on Spotify, here.

Fresh on our radar and signed to Monstercat is Modestep, who certainly put us in a good mood with their recent bass quaking single Not IRL, which makes us move and groove a whole lot IRL. The song, the British duo’s fourth single on the label, is an exuberant and emphatic song that might be the perfect song to add to your work out playlist considering its lyrics and its electrifying, high voltage energy. Not IRL packs a walloping trap and bass punch in its slickly produced future bass, and we’re grateful that it’s put Modestep on the map for us. Listen to more of the pair’s music on Soundcloud, here.

We were just gushing over how epic San Holo’s debut album is yesterday (here, if you missed it), and now here we are, revisiting one of our all time favorite San Holo tracks via a wicked remix crafted by ever enigmatic KLOUD. The production project leaves our jaws agape with their spectacular take on Light, giving us an adrenaline pumping, phosphorescent surging ordeal with metallurgic synth swerves and a gritty edge. If you don’t “see the light” and feel euphorically enlightened by the end of this one, you’re probably a lost cause.
