I’m a huge fan of mixing a little dirty, pop or catchiness within any genre. This week, I sought and found a few amazing singles with exactly this – foreshadowing, in my opinion, what will most likely be a portion of the next-generation of “commercial music” – along with a solid set of powerful tunes from DJ of various popularity levels and musical backgrounds.
Diplo – Revolution (Absence Remix)
Download “Revolution (Absence Remix)”
One of highest trending tracks of the month is from a mysterious new DJ named Absense., with only one uploaded track to his name, which was reposted by Mad Decent and others. There’s most likely a Zhu type scenario going on here, so keep your eyes peeled for more from this unknown.
Thomas Vent – Tramp
Wow. I’d never been exposed to Thomas Vent before, but southern-style guitar solos combined with super-stylish dubstep drops, found in “Tramp,” is something I’m all for. Thomas has serious talent and gets down-right crazy when it comes to bass music.
Machineheart – Snøw (Myles Travitz Remix)
Download “Snøw (Myles Travitz Remix)”
An artist new to me, Myles Travitz, keeps it dramatic, serious, and a tad bit nostalgic with his remix of Marchineheart’s “Snøw.” The slurring lead melody is 100% kick ass, fully enhancing the best elements of the original.
GRiZ – For The Love (feat. Talib Kweli)
The living-legend himself has released a funky and soulful original “For The Love,” that instantly warms your heard with fluid rap vocals, exotic samples, and a smooth jam beat.
Nero – The Thrill
Nero goes raw and relatively simple with “The Thrill.” While still maintaining their ambiguous smooth, yet dirty sound, Nero creates an easy-to-listen to, heavy electro track with beautiful vocals from their stylish front lady.
O.T. Genasis – Coco (Flosstradamus Remix)
Due to popular demand, Flosstradamus finally releases a remix of “Coco,” a mega-hit that is currently experiencing non-stop radio play. Floss does what they do best, adding serious trap vibes to an already trap rap song. This remix leans a bit more on an experimental side for Floss, but this maintains their classic sound.
