Amika Akaya’s Offcial Remix to “Haim – Falling”
Los Angeles DJ/Producer Amika Akaya has Just put out a new Remix for Haim’s single “Falling.” Make sure to take a listen to dope Trap Vibes & get your free Download: Here
Playlist: Free Ja Rule
Regardless of your feelings towards the Murder Inc. crew, Ja Rule and Irv Gotti incapsulated everything wrong (and seemingly perfect) about hip-hop in the early 2000′s. While Ja’s music relied more on mainstream appeal than lyrical authenticity, he knew (subconsciously or not) what would sell in a climate obsessed with TRL and commodified thug culture. He covered up rhymes about “fucking hoes” and “smoking blunts” with Ashanti’s sweet voice and Top 40 approved beats, making parents of thirteen-year-old girls a little less worried about that dreaded “parental advisory” sticker.
To celebrate Ja Rule’s brilliance, and his recent release from federal prison last week, here are a few of his greatest musical accomplishments throughout the past fourteen years. Everyone pray for a Ja Rule trap comeback.
Ja Rule ft. Ashanti – Always on Time
Ja Rule ft. Mary J. Blige - Rainy Dayz
Ja Rule ft.Vita – Put It On Me
Ja Rule ft. Chuck – Down Ass Bitch
Ja Rule ft. Christina Milian – Between Me & U

I Monster — Swarf
I was thinking out loud to myself a few weeks ago, wondering if I Monster was planning on releasing new music any time soon. So I Googled ‘em and found out that they do indeed have a new album — Swarf — and it’s availible to stream/download off Bandcamp. The best way I can describe I Monster, a duo from the UK comprised of producers Dean Honer and Jarrod Gosling, is if The Beatles and The Beach Boys made music in modern times on shrooms and/or acid. Or, you can allow the twosome to spell out their sound for your themselves — “left field psychedelic, new wave, electronic pop, sort of“. This is totally going to be my summer 2013 soundtrack:

This is all kinds of sexy. I’d write more but I’m vibing so hard right now. Someone should call me a Doctor.

#YVR – Kieran Fearing – Reprieve
Today is a good day; Vancouver’s own Kieran Fearing has released his debut full length, Reprieve. Inevitably, words fail to capture the essence of music, and they fall especially short in this case. Simply put, Reprieve is phenomenal.
It is beautifully haunted and inextricably tortured. It evokes a phantasm of visions from the dark depths of the mind. Comprised of vocals, piano, keyboards, and a healthy dose of electronics, the line between singer-songwriter and electronic music is walked ambiguously. Comparable to the likes of James Blake, Nicolas Jaar and Thom Yorke insofar as the adept attention to detail and sonic manipulation. A mature artist in his own right, Fearing paired up with Jonathan Scherk (of Plays:four and Flash Palace) to handle the recording and production processes. The strength and breadth of Fearing’s songwriting meets magically with Scherk’s electronic contributions to create a record that is greater than the sum of its parts. Listen to the newest single, ‘Disregard’ below:

Kieran will be on Sup World? CITR 101.9fm 6:30-10pm tonight, during which downloads will be ‘pay what you want’

Betty Who – Somebody Loves You
You know that feeling you get after searching the Internet for hours-upon-hours and finally coming across that one perfect song? Well, this song gave me that magical feeling. It’s bubbly and quasi danceable while still asking the most important question of them all, “who’s around when you can’t be strong?” The answer? Mint chocolate chip ice cream.
For more of Betty Who, download her latest EP,”The Movement”, for free via her website.

Ciara – Body Party (WMNSTUDIES Remix)
While I’ll be the first to admit that “Goodies” is Ciara’s best track of all time, Vancouver-based duo WMNSTUDIES give her latest single, “Body Part”, a run for it’s money. These boys are well on their way to having a breakout year in 2013. Check it out below.
