#jersey bounce

On Soundcloud, BRUX is described as “a turbulent force of brooding rhythms and distorted desires of the human psyche.” We can’t concur more with this accurate depiction of the producer. I’m Back is the Sydney newcomer’s debut single, replete with mischievous stalking beats, aerated synths, and peppery teasing vocals. BRUX melds dark electronica with edgy hip hop on the buoyant bouncing, dense rumbling track. Shades of Jersey Club adorn her punchy snapping, cheeky sly tune. I’m Back might be BRUX’s first release, but she made an appearance on Madeaux’s The Wave earlier this year. Stream the crisp crackling, bold racy jam below. I’m Back, which is out on etcetc / Dim Mak, can be found on iTunes, here.

Took a hot bath after my kickboxing class today and it felt and smelled amazing 😍 I’m still sad that The Comforter shower cream is being discontinued, it’s one of my absolute favorite scents!

Frederik Sally is the Danish producer behind Fred The Future, who really does seem to be the future of electronica when you take into account his latest single Thinkin Bout You. The bubbly aerated track is a forward thinking melting pot that fuses future R&B, Jersey Club, and chill trap to brisk dashing, frisky infectious results. It’s like Mura Masa and Kaytranada with a UNIQU3 bounce and some seriously moving vibes. For more Fred The Future and some fine mixes, head to his Soundcloud page, here. Thinkin Bout You, which I’ll be thinking plenty about, is available for free, here.

We gladly drown in the somber beauty of DJ 4B’s fresh original, Drown, a grand and cinematic fusion of brassy buoyant Jersey club (he is from Jersey, after all) and dark thundering future trap, topped off with riveting pop vocals. The track arrives as the producer is touring with Kayzo on his sold out U.S. expedition. Drown is a huge release to kick off 2018 for DJ 4B, who’s poised to have a massive year. You can grab the bold and adventurous track from Apple Music, here.

Australian four piece Haiku Hands describes themselves as an elusive crew of artists who’s influence can be felt across live performance, visual art, and production. The intriguing quartet arrive with an edgy, ravey debut named Not About You. Dance, hip hop, and pop mesh as one on the high energy bop. It’s like a confluence of all that is manic electrifying and clamorous invigorating from The Ting Tings, CSS, Zebra Katz, and more, with a dose of Die Antwoord delirium and a hard Jersey bounce. Haiku Hands’ sassy, gutsy debut leaves us curious to learn more about the visual side of their artistry. They’ve been working with some of Australia’s finest writers and producers, such as El Gusto (Hermitude), Joelistics, Jaytee Hazard and Lewis Can Cut to form genre bending songs that span across a wide variety of genres. 

Long time fans of IHM know that we’ve been with The Chainsmokers since their earliest days, and though the bitterness and hate seems to be brewing strong regarding the pair now that they rule the world with their debut album, we will not partake in any of that negativity. Instead, let’s celebrate their recent collaboration with Coldplay, no strangers to controversy and backlashes themselves, by diving into a spectacular remix of Something Just Like This by New Jersey’s DJ 4B. His “4B Remix” is an exhilarating re-imagining of the dominating hit. It’s not unexpected that the track sports a high octane Jersey bounce considering where the producer hails from, but it’s finely balanced with atmospheric surges and sizzling chops. Snag the remix from hive, here.

Somewhere in between future and chill lies the zestful appeal of TRAILS’ new remix. The Berlin based production talent takes SAINT WKND’s celestial chiming Golden featuring Australian duo Hoodlem and gives it a summery spring. TRAILS’ remix bumps and thumps with rotund, gleeful aplomb. This ebullient version of Golden is a brisk vivacious dance floor anthem. There’s no keeping still to its Jersey styled bounces. Download the edit for free, here.

If it’s some brain rattling, skull quivering excitement that you crave, ask and you shall receive. Fizzy foaming, future chopping Jersey Club twirls us round and round till we’re punch drunk in love with the high octane thrills that ooze endlessly out of this one. LA’s Bianca Oblivion and Akira Akira team up to give Shiftee’s Go Preemee featuring Svpreme Ink a sleek stuttering, glossy jittering rework. This tangy biting banger premiered on Nest HQ. Akira Akira and Bianca Oblivion’s remix will be out on February 3rd. Pre-order from iTunes.
