MUSIC SERIES: On Repeat Week 15

On Repeat Week 15

Hey everyone, sorry again for the lack of new posts the past few weeks. I took the break off from just about everything. The new semester is beginning tomorrow, so I should be getting back into my regular routine of posting. I also got an Akai MPK Mini and Native Instruments' Massive to use with FL Studio 10, so hopefully I'll have some spare time to make some new tracks of my own. Here's this weeks music!

First, this is the latest from the next big Swedish artist Jakob Liedholm. It's called 'Lights' by Liedholm & Tim Norell Ft. Nick Nikon. It's an amazing electro-house anthem that will get you off your feet and in the air. I just listened to it about 10 times, and I'm sure you're all going to like it. Download link is below the video:

Here's a sick new dubstep song by Frew called 'Deep Love'. This is the Protohype Remix. It starts off with some modified, mashed vocal lines then slowly builds into a dirty drop filled with mixed samples. Check it out:



'Like Home' by Nick Romero ft. Nervo is a great song. Here is the Karetus Remix. It's a dubstep mix of the song that keeps the great vocals and adds some nasty drops. Play this one on some heavy speakers and you'll understand how intense this bass is:



This is the remix of Trinidad James' 'All Gold Everything' ft. a ton of artists from the ATL. We have T.I., Young Jeezy, and 2 Chainz on this shit. I don't really know what to say about this one. It's not for everyone but give it a chance:


Here's a solid, new electro tune called 'Overtime' by Cash Cash. It's a nice mix of some dubstep elements in a fun dance song. It reminds me a lot of Madeon's work. It's a very uplifting song that will keep you moving:



This is Wale's newest mixtape called 'Folarin'. There are some sick tracks on this one. I haven't listened to the whole thing yet, but Wale never disapoints. Give it a listen, and when you realize it's the shit, download it:


Alright, this song is a little different than what I usually post, but for some reason stuff like this gets on club playlists. If you're into some trance-y, dance music you'll enjoy this. The song is called 'Joyenergizer' by Sander van Doorn. It starts off with an interesting beat and leads into a synth-filled drop that sounds pretty heavy. Take a listen and judge for yourself:

 
We have a classic here that's been dubstep-afied. It's the Dotcom Remix of Chamillionaire's Ridin' Ft. Krayzie Bone. I still like the original the best, but this is an interesting twist on a sick song. I really like the bitty basslines, but I don't know how I feel about the bitty rap vocals. Check it:



This is 'Your Galaxy' by Speaker of the House Ft. GoldAN. It's a chillish, electro-house song that features some smooth bass synth lines. It also reminds me a bit of Madeon's work. The "rotating" synth line that plays during the chorus gives me the same feeling I get from Madeon:



Cash Out just dropped his mixtape 'Keisha' a couple weeks ago. If you didn't listen to it, check it out here. His song 'Ca$hin' Out' was one of my favorites this past summer, so I was interested to see how his new stuff was. It's decent considering how new he is:


Here's another smooth dubstep song called 'Come Alive' by Mutrix Ft. Charity Vance. This is the Ennui Remix. It's a catchy song that has nice echoey basslines that give it a unique sound. The vocals are smooth and delayed which give it some extra character:



Flux Pavilion is one of my favorite dubstep artists and he just released this insane track called 'OneTwoThree (Make Your Body Wanna)'. It starts off with a trap sound then leads into a mixed trap and dubstep drop. It's a new type of sound for him, but I'm into this song:



We'll finish off with a nice smooth dub song called 'Notice Me' by Sohella Ft. Tailah. It has a dance feel to it, but it's nice to chill to. The vocals are soft and go with the continuous bass pumping in the background. Give it a listen:

Hope you all enjoyed this week's music. Keep coming back for more in the coming weeks!

MUSIC SERIES: On Repeat Week 14

On Repeat Week 14

Hey everyone, sorry for the long break from posts. I was taking the couple weeks I had off to relax and work on job applications and stuff. I should be posting consistently for the next few weeks though! There have been a ton of great new releases, so expect this week to be big.

First off, we have the newest from Skrillex's new EP, Leaving. These songs are very different than what everyone has come to expect from Skrillex. Rather than having hard-hitting, mashed up wobble basses, they are a quieter and smoother. The first is called 'The Reason' and is more upbeat than the other. The second is the EP's title track 'Leaving' and it has a softer garage feel to it. The third is called 'Scary Bolly Dub' which almost has a reggae feel. It's the hardest out of the three and features some sampling from 'Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites'. Take a listen:


 
 
This one is a smooth electro-house track from Late Night Alumni called 'Shine' and it is the Fareoh's One-Hitter Remix. It starts out pretty slow, but it picks up a little as the song goes on. The melody is smooth and catchy and it's a good one to chill out to. Check it:



This is the Chrizz Luvly Remix 'We Are Your Friends' by Justice vs. Simian. It's an absolute banger. Play this one on some heavy speakers and it'll blow your mind. The bassline is insane and the song keeps a heavy dropping beat pulsing the entire time:



Here's a couple of electro-house bangers from two great artists. The first is called 'The Void' by Nova and this is the Rodridan Remix. The second is 'Tasty Planet' by The Noisy Freaks and this is the Nation Remix. Both are nice mashed up dubby bass songs. Take a listen:




Here's a great dubstep song. It has a smoother bass rather than a dirty one, but it hits the right places to make this an awesome tune. Guaranteed, it's one that you'll listen to several times. The mix of vocals is great as well. It's called 'Alive' Ft. Lisa Rowe by Virtual Riot:



Here's the Jacob Plant dubstep remix of Rihanna's 'Diamonds'. He just gives it a little boost during the chorus. It's nothing super special, but it's a nice twist on a popular song. Check it out:


This is the Rofl Monster Remix of Merit's 'Cityscape'. It's a smooth D'n'B song that will get your bpm sensor going off. It's really catchy and is an excellent choice for a chill song to listen to. It really hits the mood if it's snowy out in my opinion. Listen:


Well that's all I had time to put up for now. But I'll probably update the post later tonight. Enjoy!
