G Jones X Luda

February 18, 2015
Post Image
If you follow Santa Cruz resident and DJ, G Jones, you know the dude is constantly producing and/or collaborating. Just dropping an insane mixtape featured on our blog late last January, he doesn’t quit . . . like, ever.

In this short but savage remix, G samples Ludacris’ “Stand Up,” an early ’00 classic for all of us that remember actually growing up in the 90’s. Sorry, if you were born after ’95, I doubt your mama was letting you listen to Luda- if so, more power to ya.

Massive Grime Remix From Doshy, Bleep Bloop & The OriGinALz

February 17, 2015
Post Image

Although they’re not household names yet, Doshy, Bleep Bloop and The OriGinALz are some of the most forward thinking and hard-hitting producers in today’s low-end, future bass game. With diverse backgrounds in genres spanning from hip hop and dubstep to orchestral and world music, these producers are spearheading the weird and wonderful future movement.

With extremely solid and distinguished styles of their own, Doshy, Bleep Bloop and The OriGinALz collided creative forces to deliver an epic remix of English Grime MC, Wiley’s and Oakland rapper God’s Gift’s track, “And Again.” With a chirpy bassy flare, this rendition of “And Again” boasts an extremely colorful and raw sound that was made to slay dancefloors in an entirely innovative, yet accessible way.

Yahtzel Yahtzee!

February 13, 2015
Post Image
Belonging to a new wave of young electronic artists, Max Armata AKA Yahtzel is an Australian producer/DJ that offers an extremely fun and bright selection of future tunes ranging in both bass and house music.

Upon first listen, Yahtzel’s sound appears ever-fluxing: house, bass, house, bass, more bass . . . but as you listen, his work is very cohesive and actually, quite consistent. The dude messes in everything from tropical house and disco to hard-hitting trap, a sound the kids are coining as the “Australian Sound.” Yahtzel has been acknowledged as one of the artists truly representing the “Australian Sound” by one of the genre’s greatest pioneers, Flume. “Australia Sound” is, if anything, feel-good. The genre focuses on beauty and drama, seemingly made for anyone who is down with aesthetic electronic music.

Come see Yahtzel play in Santa Barbara as he makes his way along the coast during his North American tour, Sunday, February 15th at SoHo and RSVP for FREE entry here (18+ only $7).[soundcloud url=”https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/139457134″ params=”auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&visual=true” width=”100%” height=”450″ iframe=”true” /][soundcloud url=”https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/150326144″ params=”auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&visual=true” width=”100%” height=”450″ iframe=”true” /]

GTFO

February 10, 2015
Post Image
New to the scene, we have 15 y/o producer from Livermore, LIMARÜ. Christening his SoundCloud with his first release, a remix of Hati’s “GTFO,” you quickly realize the kid is not fooling around.

Laughing, but completely agreeing with the random comments throughout the track, highlighting some favorites: “supreme extra guac” and “excuse me, what is going on”- but really, how does this track get so wonderfully nasty?!?

As with all banging’ tracks flirting with a 2 minute mark, we wish it was longer- luckily, it knocks hard enough to happily accept the short length.

Head Banga, Hit Me

February 8, 2015

LOL 2 the Super Bowl, period. The only tolerable 2 minutes was Missy Elliot being her usual bad bitch self on stage.

The new divas bring on tears of sadness and cringe worthy performances. As so, we are very pleased with KRNE’s remix to commemorate one the greatest.

The Oakland-based producer enhances the original, bringing forward the elements that make “Get Ur Freak On,” such a unique track, and doing so without adding or taking away to much from the originally produced Timberland tune. KRNE makes the tune more dramatic: bigger bass, bigger bounce, bigger sound all around. We are in love with this trap-tastic take on an early Y2K classic, and we are sure Queen Elliot would be too.

Music is Love – Podcast E008 – feat. X&G

February 5, 2015
Post Image

Taking the same turn, but at different times, two California producers independently head to Salt Lake City as they begin to come into their own as artists.

After linking up through their Salt Lake City based label, Damn Son!, the two began collaborating together, finding common ground in the fact that they both offered a unique sound to the label.

Christian Williams AKA Xian, has truly developed as an artist these past few years, beginning his career dabbling in hard-hitting DnB, now to a more chilled-out, progressive sound, mentioning that, “there’s so much new daly content online, it’s hard not to hear something fresh that turns your head [. . .] These days I just want to make weird stuff.”

Aaron Spasiano, or Gaszia, began seriously producing back in 2012. Meeting Xian was a positive turning point for him as a producer, stating, “My workflow has evolved drastically over the last couple years since meeting Xian. He showed me an entirely different approach to music creating.”

Though each artist have their individual project, the two have been working almost exclusively together as of late, recently releasing an album as duo, “X&G.” Xian describes the release as “a compilation of ideas, experimental content and styles we’ve messed around with since we started making music together.” The “[m]ajority of songs were made in one sitting, then put on the back burner for the remainder of the year [. . . ] We decided on some songs from the past year or so and just polished what we had” adds Gaszia.

To showcase the dynamic duo’s workflow, we asked the boys to shoot us an exclusive mixtape, and damn, were we stoked on what we heard. The enigmatic mix not only features some outstanding originals, but it is almost a 50/50 split of both house and bass music, seamlessly mixed in a way, that you are straight-up confused as how they went from one track to the next until you are fully in it.

Gaszia’s elaborate and sacred sound, paired with Xian’s futuristic flair harmonize perfectly with each other. We look forward to the projected new tracks and shows the two have planned for 2015.

Grab their exclusive mix for Music is Love and be ready to fall in love over and over again:
