As usual, feel free to comment or leave any feedback
NU-DISCO
1. GIGAMESH- Enjoy (Preview)
I thought id kick this weeks list off with some fun, light hearted warm up vibes…this is a brand new release from mega-producer Gigamesh (https://soundcloud.com/gigamesh) Just released on Beatport, Feb 12th (http://www.beatport.com/search?query=Gigamesh+-+Enjoy) Its got bright synths, classic disco vocals and a groovy driving beat, this is one you just gotta have. A great addition to your opening sets or just a feel good environment. Ill definitely be playing this tune out first chance I get.
TRAP
2. VALENTINO KHAN- Who You Wit? (Free Download)
“THIS SONG IS STRICTLY 4 THUGZ ONLY. IF U R NOT A THUG PLZ CLOSE UR INTERNET AS IT MAY INFLUENCE U TO DO THINGS THAT R SCANDALOUS & ROWDY IN NATURE. HAPPY VALENTINES DAY AND GOD BLESS.” - VK
…this is a statement from Valentino himself…id have to say he’s pretty dead on with this release. Before finding this, I wasn’t too familiar with VALENTINO KHAN (https://soundcloud.com/valentinokhan), which is quite surprising, considering his credentials. Producing for such multi-platinum artists such as 2 Chains, BoB, and having released EDM bangers through DIM MAK and MAD DECENT. He definitely nailed it with this banger, a must have for any EDM/TRAP set.
MOOMBAHTON
3. BRO SAFARI & UFO! – Savage Beauty (PREVIEW)
WOW. I dont normally post and review moombahton tracks (in case your not familiar with the genre: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moombahton) but this track is an absolute BANGER. Nothing id ever play in the club, but i couldnt help but share it.
Produced by EDM super-producer Bro Safari (https://soundcloud.com/brosafari) and UFO! (https://soundcloud.com/UFO55555) this tracked was described as “….interesting blend of influences ranging from Drum and Bass to Hardcore to Moombahton and many things in between….” As soon as i heard that deep bass line i was hooked in.
This can be found on the ‘Moombahton Forever Compilation’ released on T & A Records.
TOP40/CLUB/ELECTRO
4. ARIANNA ft. PITBULL – Sexy People (HLM Remix) *FREE DOWNLOAD*
HLM (https://soundcloud.com/dj_hlm) just got dropped this official remix to Adrinana and Pitbull’s tune, Sexy People (All Around the World). Definitely moves the track into a much more electro sound. A good top40 remix to drop in the club to get the ladies moving, with a nice build-up and drop to keep the hands up and fellas in it.
TRAP/EDM/REMIX
5. BAAUER-Harlem Shake (Kid Womp Remix) *FREE DOWNLOAD*
You didnt actually think i was going to end this without a review of the viral phenomenon the Harlem Shake, did you?
Well, I did even better, and tracked down an absolute bass nutty remix of the famed track, definitely going to want to watch your bass levels when this gem of a track drops. With 808 bass all the way through and even a snippet of the popular ‘I aint got time for that’ near the end, this track had banger written all over it.
From the up and coming Trap/EDM producer out of Texas, KID WOMP (https://soundcloud.com/kidwomp), this track delivers all that is to be expected, and more. Keep and eye out for this guy, big things in his future.
I hope you enjoyed this weeks picks, feel free to leave comments and share at your own will!
