DJ Snake & Dillon Francis - Get Low

Ok guys I know I am a bit late on this but who cares. I as most likely exaggerating when I say this, but this is the coolest song I've ever heard in my whole life. Holy smoking rocket sauce, this track bangs hard oh my gosh, right in the sweet spot I say. Crazy trap/electro/bass/iguana-acid blended with Middle Eastern infusions. Guaranteed to get even the shyest booty shakin' like their phones are vibratin'!

Thursday Stumble Vol. 3

The time has come once again (Thursday that is) for me to share some bumping tracks that I've stumbled across on the interweb that is so vast and ever expanding. This week's selection includes some trap/bass, electro roboto vibes, deep house, French house and electronica to get your living room dancefloor ready to go. Perhaps even some tunes for that musical sanctuary we all know and love, the shower! Standard.

AlunaGeorge - You Know You Like It (DJ Snake remix) (free download)

A chilled bassy and spacey brand new remix from DJ Snake, kinda reminds me of Hold Yuh (Major Lazer remix) by Gyptian. Check out his much heavier Yeezus remix posted earlier this month here.

Oxford - Combo (free download)

A groovy disco type number similar to the work of one of my personal favourite French producers Yuksek, with a sumptuous bassline and some nice guitars that achieves a mellow yet funky vibe.

Kris Menace feat. Black Hills - Waiting For You (Oliver Remix) (Download link)

A funkeh little remix from SSSB favourites Oliver with their signature retro-yet-futuristic vibe.

Snakehips - Make It (free download)

A crazy trap/bass anthem with the right balance where it ain't too heavy but it ain't playin' round neither!

Kaytranada - Free Things In Life (Download link)

This is a super-dope head-boppin bass track to jam with the homies in your Cadillac, six woofers and four amps.

Levi - X-ing (free download)

This relatively unknown French producer's sound could be described as Kavinsky-lite (which is not a bad thing). Cool epic electronica that has a strange progression to it that seems to just work.

Faul feat. Wad Ad - Changes (free download)

Oh my days. This song is life changing. As a not-so-big fan of deep house, this is personally the best deep house song I've ever heard. So chilled and groovy with a beautiful chant of children singing and some silky smooth saxophone, this song is one of SSSB's best of the year without a doubt. Shout out to Deep Jams for discovering this masterpiece.

And there you have it for this Thursday's stumblization. Hope you enjoy the tracks and give some feedback!

Yeezus

The polarizing new album from Kanye West was truly something unexpected from the mad genius, an album which doesn't have anything for the radio, nor anything for the clubs, nor anything for a casual listen on a Sunday afternoon, but rather a dark journey into the artist's manic vision. The album has an extremely dark tone, with a combination of seemingly bizarre influences ranging from industrial rock to acid house and techno to dancehall and other eclectic sounds.

The controversially-titled Yeezus is Kanye's most experimental and unorthodox release yet, and features the rapper at his most aggressive and dangerous. Filled with as many racially charged political statements as filthy lines about bad bitches, lyrically he takes the ironic position of "anti-celebrity" and music's king of controversy. However, whereas many contemporary artists try to create shock value for it's own sake, Kanye actually has the skills and motives to back it up. He claimed to not really care about selling records anymore, just releasing music that we can enjoy, and while I can safely say that most people will probably not enjoy this music, I know that I do (but then again, I am a giant fan of Kanye).

In all honesty, you have to listen to this album 3 or 4 times before it stops becoming such a jarring assault on the ears, but once you do you can really appreciate it for what it is. And what it is is Kanye's Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy turned even more dark and twisted, where he travels uncharted sonic territory in search of his own sanity, trying to escape the tabloids and the fame but never truly being able to anyway. It is an album which only Kanye West could have ever made, and it's tenacious 'anti-pop' attitude makes for some really hard-hitting music that throws traditional structure and musicality out the window in what could start a new movement in hip hop. Say what you want about Mr West and his massive ego, but he is still on the forefront of his genre and a musical force to be reckoned with in any capacity.



BONUS TRACK:

Check out this super fresh hard-hitting remix from French producer DJ Snake of New Slaves that takes Kanye's epic banging beat and turns it into a fricking bananas trap/bass dancefloor smasher, free download too! Thanks DJ Snake! Cobra venom on this one dude, will definitely destroy those Hampton houses and spouses and blouses.
