Got some new future music for everybody out there. First we are highlighting the simply dreamy, serotonin-inducing aural roller-coaster ride that is “Sparagus” coming from EDM artists Mikos Da Gawd with help from Tito Tunes. Let your mind go for a ride as you mellow out to this future chillwave track.

Next up is an amazingly chill re-work of popular rap/trap hit “Bandz A Make Her Dance” originally by Juicy J. For this incredibly chill remix we highlight EDM artists KDS who has turned the trap banger anthem into a relaxed afternoon, bass-heavy future wave single. Chill is an understatement here and the use and variety of samples used is refreshing. Don’t sleep on this! Thumbs up all around here!!

[Indie/Alternative Rock] Saints of Bliss – Born on the Wrong Side


[Alternative Rock:] Saints of Bliss – Born on the Wrong Side

[Quotable Lyrics:]

Born on the wrong side, mixing with the wrong kind,
Misunderstood, and I blame it on the hard life
Life is unfair, when you haven’t got a rich dad,
And I cannot pay the rent ’cause I’m playin’ in a rock band

As part of the division of genres into pages that will follow on this music blog, I am highlighting one of our first Alternative Rock song features, this one from the band Saints of Bliss with their track “Born on the Wrong Side”. With plenty of alternative and indie feel behind the song, the track is a nice solid listen with plenty of emotional depth in its borderline angst, but pleasurable lyrics, down-tempo chords mixing with alternative-pop rock riffs.

You can check out more from the British band on their sites here:

[Street Rap / 1738] Fetty Wap – Make It


Featured on Up Next “Make It,” the rapper behind the world famous “Trap Queen” drops arguably, the best track on the whole tape. The unique rhythm and futuristic-sounding beat make for a very catchy track. This song, Fetty Wap goes out to his boys who he came up with, where he turns his promise to “come up” with them into an anthem.

Notable lyrics:

I promised all my n*ggas we gon’ make it
4th and inches, we ain’t scared — we gon’ take it!
Watch the look on all these n*ggas faces
Comin’ thru in the foreign like we racin’

[Dance / House]: Kygo – Stole the Show


New release from Norwegian DJ and producer, Kygo “Stole the Show” has a very original dance, house feel with what sounds like rainforest or pan flutes accentuating it’s calming, but funky rhythm. We’re left with a very chill track, perfect for rounding out a long day or relaxing at the end of one. The song’s music video is also noteworthy for a very different aesthetic approach featuring two “in love” astronauts and lots of breaking, waving, popping and locking. Check it out above and hear more from Kygo below:

[Future House / Funk]: SNAKEHIPS – Forever (Pt. II) [feat. Kaleem Taylor]


British electronic DJ duo Snakehips, proves once again that they can do no wrong, with their downright funky “Forever (Part II)” and its quite interesting, accompanying video.

Teaming up once again with vocalist Kaleem Taylor, the very funk / R&B vibes beginning as soon as the song starts cascade into a smooth, irresistible house rhythm with rich sultry vocals to match. Check out some of Snakehips other sultry tunes below:

New Gucci Mane – Texas Margarita ft. Young Dolph & Dr. Phil


New Gucci Mane - Texas Margarita ft. Young Dolph & Dr. Phil

Gucci Mane dropped a new track yesterday (March 25th) titled “Texas Margarita.” Produced by London on Da Track the single is more “Gucci” type music, and there’s nothing inherently wrong with that. [credits: allhiphop.com for the story]

The chorus could have been a bit more inventive (guess what the lyrics to it are!), but regardless this track will definitely be “boomin'” and “bunkin'” for most folks especially when/if it gets airplay. Gucci’s last official mixtape was the “Trap Back 2” and his last studio album was “The State Vs. Radric Davis 2: The Caged Bird Sings.” In between those releases he has released several unofficial mixtapes which can be found at sites like Datpiff and LiveMixtapes.
