Movement , the recent electronic trio to be signed to the Modular , has just come through with their first official release. The track is called "Feel Real" which will be released on May 28th. The track will be featured on their EP of the same name which features one other unique track as well as a few remixes. This track, "Feel Real", expands on a deep house sound with a blend of sultry vocals and rhythm. It even features a unique usage of a steel drum that I haven't heard in a while. Look out for the EP, which [...]
![SION - "I Can't Stop" (Original Mix) [Exclusive]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4949116_lg.jpg)
Today we have an exclusive original mix from the young UK producer, SION . Hailing from the mountainous region of North Wales, the 20-year-old producer, real name Sion Elliot , has been putting his music on the map over the past 6 months with a slew of original releases. SION finds himself amid a small handful of UK producers that have earned their stripes through pioneering production and genuine individuality. Taking influences from a comprehensive collection of genres, his style does not fit one single category and will never become safe or predictable. His past CV includes a [...]
These are the mashes that are worth hearing, so stop your searching and instead settle down at your computer... turn up your speakers... and get ready for that sweet nectar that only EARMILK can give ya. Let's GO ! I've been on a Kendrick Lamar kick as of late. Maybe it's due to my re-listening of his Good Kid M.A.A.D City album, but I'm not complaining. Naturally, this carried over to some of my mashup selections, and 2 made the final cut: Duncan Gerow 's "Sing About Me" and DJ 21azy 's "She Needs Novacane". [...]
You might not be able to tell on first take that West Coast rapper Jez Dior is the son of punk rock vet Steve Dior, but the musical talent is as obvious as his neck tattoos. Where his dad was snarling rebellion , Jez is contained introspection. Where his dad upended bars with Sid Vicious, Jez paints bars with an art form his pops probably never imagined in his youth would exist. But, alas, Dior carries the family name into new territory during a time when hip-hop could do with some new faces. Perched on the [...]
Just after his debut release on Decon Records , A Breathtaking Trip to That Otherside, Alexander Spit is hard at work on his next project. "Valet Park, CA" is the opening track on Mansions 2 , an instrumental LP that will serve as the follow-up to last year's Mansions. If you've been following Spit's music, it should come as no surprise to learn that "Valet Park, CA" is another signature experimental offering from the Los Angeles producer. The opening track may not be very long (just 2:30), but it's full of smooth and interesting transitions, much [...]
Nick Ditri and Danny Danger are a duo whose music is influenced by their love of partying. Undoubtedly that helps the New York City based producers also known as Disco Fries really perfect and have a deep understanding for their niche in dance music. This week, the guys have released a serious electro house track entitled "Open Your Eyes (Revelation)" on Cr2 Records that really encompasses a wealth of different ways to party. The track has an obvious inspiration from what may have been "partying" when the guys were young, with a progression with its roots [...]
Newton, Massachusetts native Cam Meekins links up with rising rapper producer Brandun Deshay for their new single "Advil". The production from Brandun stays consistent with some notable placements he has had of late including Chance The Rapper and Joey Bada$$ . Outside of these two artists he has produced for a number of 2011 and 2012 hip hop Freshman. He also worked the Odd Future camp in the early days', connecting with each other over My Space .The two have a surprise show in New York this thursday at the [...]
Charlotte, North Carolina is home talent outside of just J.Cole . Deniro Ferrar is killing it! that is really the easiest way to breakdown the sound and approach to rap that he has taken. Connecting with young production talent like Ryan Hemsworth and Flosstradamus . His sound is raw, uncut, gutter meets electronic, detail oriented, out of the box productions. I was initially introduced to him after hearing his verses for the Grimes "Genesis" remix.The angelic instrumental along side the drums has me my shoulders bouncing as I type out this post. What [...]
With two EPs already under his belt, electronic music producer AbdeCaf is well on his way to making a mark in the music scene. AbdeCaf released his Unravel EP over a year ago and shortly after dropped his Rebuild EP. It's the haunting samples and play with short 8-bit bleeps that make Unravel such an alluring release. Topping that months later with what I believe to be his best work is the Rebuild EP. It features artists like Koda and Soft Lighting and adds a fuller, more eclectic [...]
![XS - Over [Premiere + Download]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4948221_lg.jpg)
Not much is known about Puerto Rico's XS , but if his debut single is any indication, we're excited to see what lies ahead. Today we've got the premiere of "Over", released on Montreal label Infinite Machine (whose roster includes Liar , iO Sounds , and Sibian & Faun 's Framework and Xavier León ), here on EARMILK, and we're also offering up an exclusive free download of the EP. Blending techno, garage, and R&B influences, XS will appeal to fans of Boddika , classic techno that's heavy without being cheesy or overwhelming. Remixer Kommune1 enhances the [...]
It's hard to believe that it has been seven months since "Latch" launched the careers of both Disclosure and Sam Smith . In a short timespan, "Latch" has surfaced everywhere from department stores to international clubs in a countless number of formats. While nearly every remix we have been exposed to has been built around the Disclosure instrumentals, Sam Smith's vocal range has yet to be fully exposed. This most likely has to do with the hype surrounding the London brother duo, but Smith uses a live rendition of the song to prove that his emotion-filled voice played [...]
![Andrea - Cruising [EP]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4948147_lg.jpg)
It seems like atmospheric, uplifting chillwave has been on the rise in the past year. With the monster birth of new and noteworthy artists like summer-time themed Odesza and 90s R&B influenced Atu, it's only a wonder where this style of music will end up next. Andrea , a producer from Paris, showcases the limitless potential of the new transformation this genre is undergoing. He blends organic sounds and structure with his experimental state of mind to create a whole new breed of chillwave. Andrea's work swings around like a broken compass. From trap beats [...]

Sometimes you follow an artist for years, tracking their progress through the unpredictable trails of success, waiting for their big break with baited breath. Other times you stumble upon them during their inexplicably fast assent to fame, not really knowing where they come from or how they got there. The latter is the case for MAKJ , a young DJ and producer from California who has recently exploded onto the electro progressive scene. With a Beatport release list that only spans 6 months, the rising talent still has amassed a number of feats, having performed alongside such names as [...]
As the birthplace of techno, it's no surprise that Detroit also plays host to one of North America's most prominent dance music festivals (voted the #1 most anticipated festival of 2013 by Beatport and the top festival in May 2013 by Resident Advisor). Founded in 2000 and renamed in 2006, the thirteenth annual Movement , or Detroit Electronic Music Festival (DEMF) , will take over Hart Plaza in just a few weeks from May 25 through May 28 . With a lineup filled to the brim with obvious legends and hometown favourites, cutting down to our top 12 was not an easy [...]
No wonder Oliver Twizt has caught the Trap bug: it's a perfect combination of the two types of music he holds closest to his heart: dance music and hip hop. Producing since 2000, the Dutch producer has seen more than a few trends in the music industry, but he's always kept hip hop closely tied to his productions. Having that extra edge invested, his trap productions are a little ahead of the game. His remix of Steve Aoki and Angger Dimas 's "Singularity" is just that, with its impressively well-footed ground in both Dim Mak’s harder style of house [...]
![Daily 2% - Chilled and Ready to Serve [Dauwd]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4945999_lg.jpg)
Today's delivery is brought to you by Dauwd. This UK producer has been releasing material for the past few years but seems to have really hit his stride with the release of his latest release, Heat Division . On the album, Dauwd playfully experiments with solidified electronic genres but is able to create his own lane by interweaving them, often times at unexpected intervals. The track I'm bringing to you today is the second track on the EP and it's entitled "Aqueous" which is very appropriate considering the almost constant "rowing" like percussion, almost tribal like yet the additional synths create a pounding that feels [...]
After a slight hiatus the DIEMON emcee/producer Russ is back with some new visuals off his upcoming album, The Edge . The Atlanta artist latest, "Yung Pacino," is only about a minute and a half, flexin’ his style with the vintage mafioso visuals theme. The self-produced track is the first we have heard from the DIEMON representative in a bit, hope more is to come in the near future. Russ on Twitter DIEMON Official [...]
Konshen's “Gal a Bubble” is a banging track as is, but Major Lazer , Bro Safari , and ETC! ETC! really brought an extra punch in their version of this track. It's a rather standard remix that we can all expect from these guys, but in all honesty, Mad Decent always delivers, so standard is good in this case. The first comment about this song (on the Soundcloud page) is that it's too short, and it's completely true- my only complaint was that I wanted to keep the song going for much much longer. For a guaranteed [...]
Stumbling across an artist whose music can take you on a journey through different eras while possessing a forward-minded scope is a rare occurrence. It is also tough to base an expectation of an artist's sound on a name like FilosofischeStilte , but the Netherlands producer's refined approach at the electronic scene is sure to turn some heads. While FilosofischeSti lte (aka Luuk Graham) isn't new on the scene, his beats have yet to grant him a space in the spotlight. With four eclectic releases under his belt, Luuk's productions generally venture off of on tangents, reminiscing both Shlohmo and Cashmere Cat at times, while always relating [...]
