G-Easy - Run (ft. Team Robot)

I love G-Easy.  Of all the white rappers emerging out of Cali, he is surely my favorite.  An un-surmountable combination of witty lyricism, crude, goofy humor, and fun beats, "G" has everything I look for in a hip-hop artist.  His flow almost reminds me of a white Childish Gambino, just not quite as funny.  Some of his songs are more somber and focus on telling a story (Marilyn), yet some are completely nonsensical and hilarious.  Hence, "Run (ft. Team Robot).  I have no idea what the lyrics mean but they are hysterical.



Also be sure to check out the link to the Music Video to Marilyn above.  Great Video.

Shout out to all my DA boys who now hate this song because of me... I may have played it one time to many.

Hudson is BACK

Hudson Mohawke has been a favorite of mine since his beginnings.  Cbat is one of my favorite instrumentals of all time, so when I started to see Hudson appear in the main stream I lost it.  I'm sure many of you are familiar Kanye's "Mercy".  Guess who helped with the production of that masterpiece.  Hudson Mohawke!  Anyway, he just dropped an album with Lunice, and you should check it out.  Masterful instrumentals that I would love to hear someone rap over in the future.

Baauer

It's a miracle that Baauer is still available for free.  Trap music is blowing up fast and it would be wise to grab it now before iTunes catches up with the craze.  These two tracks have the wild Jungle vibe you get from most Moombahton, yet they maintain the bounce of Trap music.  Bump this while you ride with the windows down, and then again at the club.  Turn up the subs and just bounce.

Mightyfools - Vega (Modek's Hyper Mix) [Dead Robot's MOAR Hyper Mix]

OK.  I have never heard of "Mightyfools" or any of the guys who do this mix, but I stumbled across this song this morning and was SERIOUSLY feeling it.  Something you have to understand Moombahton is that, when you listen to it, you have to picture its potential to BUMP at a party.  You don't necessarily have to love simply listening to it, but there is no denying that a Moombah party is fun as hell!  Do yourself a favor and make sure you're plugged into some headphones or a decent speaker system for this one, close your eyes, and imagine your at a music festival or something.  I don't care.

JULIAN SMITH - Never Get Naked in Your Shower

This shit is hilarious.  and disturbingly catchy.

Elle Varner... the new Alicia Keys?

This post is unlike any other I have made on this site, but Elle Varner needs to be more famous than she is.  This girl's voice is incredible on her debut album "Conversational Lush", but I think she is even better live.  Her voice has this raspy quality to it that almost reminds me of Alicia Keys.  I think some of that vocal effect is lost on her album to be honest, so these videos are examples of her performing live.  Check her out and if you love her voice as much as I do make sure to support Elle Varner on iTunes. (also check out her album in the link above)

This next one is the first thing I ever heard her sing.  SOO good.

Shout out to Gaelen LeMelle-Brown for introducing me to Elle

Swedish House Mafia – Don´t You Worry Child , You Won’t Fade Into Darkness (Jakob Liedholm Edit)

Although Axwell, Sebastian Ingrosso, and Steve Angello intend to see out their solo careers (as far as I know), their house-music, super group, Swedish House Mafia, is actually splitting up.  Its a sad day for house-music fans everywhere.  The legendary trio released one final track entitled "Don't You Worry Child" to comfort us through these hard times... RIP Swedish House.  Sadly, I can't post the original due to copyright laws... but enjoy this remix.

3LAU - Petty Language

So I posted Porter Robinson's anthem "Language" yesterday, but I want to add something I just found to that post.  The most annoying thing about DJing school dances was the constant request (by girls) to play "Call Me Maybe"... even after playing it twice.  The song is catchy; I'll give you that, but it would be nice to find a way to spice it up.  Its not THAT good.  This, on the other hand, is THAT good.

Gimme The Loot (Superginger Dubstep Remix)

This song came on shuffle when I was walking down Madison Ave a couple of months ago and I felt like I was ballin'.  You are a liar if you say that you have never been listening to music when a song comes on that you imagine to be the sound track for whatever you happen to be doing.  Perfect sound track for walking through a city.  Try it out.  Trust me its awesome.

Porter Robinson - Language

I'ma be quick and I'ma be real.  This song is dope.
