Many of you may not have heard of Kozmo, but this Tacoma, WA native has some BIG things on the horizon. His style is glitchy and bass-driven, but soft and emotional at the same time.

Mumbled synthetic voices, breakbeats (two of my favorite things) and improvisational slap bass are all standard players in the fifth-dimensional funk he purveys. On the verge of his 2014 tour, Yheti has bestowed his latest experiments upon us in the form of the Futuristic…

Profresher’s style is very diverse, ranging from bass-heavy dubstep to synth-happy 808 beats that slide smoothly out of your speakers. The latter is the end…

Read moreDespite her heavy tour schedule, Dirtybird‘s crowdrocking J.Phlip has managed to find time to craft a rude tune. Growling sub bass overflows the 4×4 beat as the listener is called a bitch while being immersed in paranoid mids. Backed by J.Phlip’s acid-washed collaborative remix with Aidan Chambers, Say My Name is available now on Beatport and…

Yung Gud – U Want Me

Part of the #sadboys crew of might-be-joking-but-definitely-have-talent youngsters from the frozen wastes of Northern Europe, Yung Gud’s beats are simply massive. U Want Me is a perfect example, layers of Shlohmo-like melancholy and pitched vocals lead to an absurd…
