Sampha – Happens (SevnthWonder Remix)

Javi — Fri, 13 Dec 2013 00:32:11 +0000

The London native Sampha has been giving us amazing music since early 2011, collaborating with several big artists like Koreless, SBTRKT, Jessie Ware & Drake has really shown the world the soulful talent this man delivers. In Nov we got a 2 single release for “Too Much” & “Happens” and SevnthWonder has tackled one of the tracks and given us a more bass heavy but still incredibly chill vibed remix, it will be coming out on a compilation by Waxhole Records December 16th titled Chilled Wax: Vol. II. Stream the track below and make sure to grab the download when it comes out via Bandcamp.

Terry Malts New Video

Trevor Risk — Thu, 12 Dec 2013 23:44:52 +0000

Terry Malts just released their new video, directed by the band and Gina Clyne. It presumably stars the band, but does anyone really know what they look like? They seem like the kind of band with secret identities, playing shows in the dark and throwing bottles at Permanent Collection.

The video is a long shot in black and white, not unlike the Replacement video for “Bastards of Young”, which of course has been aped many times.

Can we just skip ahead in time to when Terry Malts are just the biggest band in the world already?

Montreal is a hot bed of talent lately and Kay is on the forefront of it, this flip to Disclosure’s “January” makes the track more dance-able if that’s even possible AND that much more catchy. Stream this jam of a track below!

BANKS – Change (Dream Koala Remix)

Javi — Wed, 11 Dec 2013 06:42:47 +0000

The London EP by Banks is probably one of thee best EP’s that has come out this year, the diversity and beauty in each song is perfect and catchier every time. If Change was not already a beautiful song on it’s own, Dream Koala gives us a more up-beat version while still keeping the deep vibe the song originally has. The blend of production from Tim Anderson and unique style that Dream gives it makes the song that much more enjoyable. Stream the song below!

Sade – Nothing Can Come Between Us (Pomo Edit)

Javi — Tue, 10 Dec 2013 09:43:19 +0000

Since Pomo signed with HW&W his work has gotten the attention it deserves, this Montreal cat is delivering incredibly well done tracks that carry a unique funk/hip-hop vibe that stands out to the rest of the noise coming out of Soundcloud. If he couldn’t grow on me any more he edit’s one of my favorites.. Sade from her 1988 album Stronger Than Pride. Stream or download this amazing edit below!

T-Pain – Up Down (UNiiQU3 Remix)

Javi — Tue, 10 Dec 2013 09:25:37 +0000

T-pain has been quiet most of 2013 but we know that one single from him can catapult him right back to the top of the charts, if you haven’t heard “Up Down (Do This All Day)” yet.. you are missing out. The track delivers with bass heavy production from DJ Mustard and a feature from B.o.B but New Jersey’s DJ UNiiQU3 gives us an amazing Jersey Club remix that only compliments the song with a different style. Stream or download the track below!

the interview show: Austra 2013

Scott Wood — Mon, 09 Dec 2013 18:57:12 +0000

Austra started as a bedroom project by Toronto’s Katie Stelmanis, but with Austra‘s second record Olympia, the project has blossomed into a full blown band collaboration and travelling family!

When I caught up with Katie backstage at the Commodore Ballroom, we were both a bit sick, but we still managed to have an excellent chat about everything from writing increasingly personal lyrics to female objectification in the music industry to bathhouses. Yes, Austra–the entire band–has been to a bathhouse together. You’ll have to listen to the interview for the entire story!

the interview show with Austra

Austra “Hurt Me Now” Listen to our chat to hear Katie tell me why this track is her favorite from the new record Olympia.

Austra “Lose It” So far, this is the band’s signature track (from their first record Feel It Break). Katie tells me that they have completely changed how they perform this fan-favorite tune live and she even hopes to re-record it one day. You’ll have to go see “Lose It” at an Austra show for yourself.

Co. Fee – Drifter

Javi — Mon, 09 Dec 2013 01:52:01 +0000

Co. Fee has been delivering a tasty amount of beats since he joined the ‘My Hollow Drum‘ crew from LA. He’s been experimenting with much more different styles since his original work back in the day and honestly… it’s only made him much better. This new track “Drifter” is a nice simple but catchy beat that’s perfect for these cold winter days. Stream the song below!

Elizabeth Rose – The Good Life (Emoh Instead ‘Poolside’ Remix)

@pat_lok — Sat, 07 Dec 2013 09:43:06 +0000

Elizabeth Rose’s The Good Life is easily one of the most slept on tracks of 2013. In case you missed it the first time, it recently received a massive club treatment from Emoh Instead – aka half of What So Not (the other half being Flume). That build and drum fill, seriously. The original can’t be improved upon, for which you can blame Shazam’s production, but guaranteed this is gonna be an anthem for whoever plays it. One of my favorite singles of 2013.

Karl Kling – Deep In The House Of Love

@pat_lok — Fri, 06 Dec 2013 23:39:04 +0000

MANI/PEDI Records is a new label launched by Toronto’s Cyclist and Portland’s Karl Kling (of RAC) with a focus on “slightly weird disco and house music.” Their debut release, Deep In The House of Love, is a quirky cowbell driven number stealing influences from italo disco and 90s rave anthems.

“We are interested in making dance music that isn’t necessarily being represented by other labels that we are aware of so we decided to start our own label to have the freedom to experiment with different forms of dance music, combining a plethora of influences without worrying about conforming to one specific genre. The artists and tracks you’ll see us releasing on MANI/PEDI are inclined to that same experimentation.”
