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 … Continue reading Sampha – “Too Much” (Soft Glas Remix)
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 … Continue reading Izzy Bizu – “White Tiger” (Stikz Remix) [FREE DL]
Shash’U, producer from Montreal, takes Broken Bones’ “Love Inc.” and makes it an electronic/hip-hop banger. He calls it “Broken Souls” probably because he breaks up vocal tracks and adds some 808s for good measure. The Canuck was featured in Brownswood Recording’s Kutmah Presents Worldwide Family Volume 2. So he’s no secret. If Giles knows, we all must know. Continue reading Broken Bones – “Love Inc.” (Shash’U Remix)
Seabright is producer Justin Morales who specializes in combining indie rock sensibilities and laptop synth action. It’s nice. His album Lost Ones is pretty fucking gnarly. So, for several reasons—one being that “For Icy” is a fantastic stepping stone to create an evil, filthy, hard-hitting remix—Glam Shell decides to glam it up. (If you’re one to compare and contrast shit, then you can check out Seabright’s original here.) Glam Shell, Louisville, … Continue reading Seabright – “For Icy” (Glam Shell Remix) [Free DL]

“We’re not so different, you and I.” When I watch MMA and then listen to 813‘s powerful, 8-bit, pixelated stabs, it’s not too difficult to feeeeeel the similarities. Each packs a punch, each dances (around the ring,) there’s an extraordinary pace and sense of urgency. The only difference is there’s no loser—you’ll always win listening to his spastic electronic, hip-hop inspired music. Here he remixes Pixelord’s … Continue reading Pixelord – “Keramika” (813 Remix) [Free DL]
Marinate’s graphics guy, Jeff Rochester, is pretty much the master of dots. Here’s his version of Radiohead’s In Rainbows. Yeah. It’s cool. Continue reading
Monster Rally released his Crystal Ball LP a couple months ago. I was sold. This dude can straight-up manipulate a track into something you’d hear on your friend’s “Puerto Vallarta beach tape”. Imagine all your buddies piled into a car sneaking Keystone Ice (I do not condone drinking and driving, drink responsibly and obey the speed limit or stay on the down low about it) and this’ll … Continue reading Monster Rally – “Sun Bum” (Rimar Remix)
Orion by R.T.S. My, my…can you say chill as a refrigerator in the Arctic? Then, think: ’90s club music spiced together with retracting swells, pitched vocals and post-jazz, futuristic techniques. That’s a whole lot of mumbo-jumbo to say, “Ya’ll need to check this R.T.S. joint out!” R.T.S. stands in for the artist’s name (Rory Tristian Salter), but could … Continue reading R.T.S. – “Orion”
