La primera vez que escuché a Kodak to Graph fue por ahí de mediados del año ante pasado con su track " I Keep Holding On " , el cual me agarró por completo y no me hizo pensar dos veces que ahí había talento. Pasó un tiempo y posteriormente lanzó su EP "debút" desde Bad Panda Records , mismo que sin duda alguna se adueñó de mis listas de reproducción más de un par de meses. Tras ese importante release, algunos singles más y evoluciones en su sonido bastante interesantes, [...]

Una reciente polémica envolvió al megahit “Somebody That I Used to Know” , del australiano Gotye. El cantante decidió usar “Seville” , del brasilero Luiz Bonfá, en su canción. El problema pasó por no dar el crédito –y por ende, los dividendos- al músico (en este caso, al estar fallecido las ganancias irían a parar a sus herederos). Después del clásico baile judicial, Gotye, que nunca negó los orígenes de la canción, debió pagar lo correspondiente . Esto es un comportamiento habitual en la industria de la música, pero para nosotros [...]
As one half of the group formerly known as Hype Williams, a duo which now goes under the more self-explanatory title Dean Blunt and Inga Copeland, Dean Blunt has specialized in obtuse, abstract electronic pop, though I use the term "pop" this loosely. With the idea of pop tends to come a relateable sort of accessibility with the potential for wide appeal, but it was this fundamental characteristic which Dean and Inga seemed determined to obscure. On last year's Black is Beautiful , the pair buried their humanness under a lo-fi haze of synth-based instrumentals. Dean Blunt is not [...]

Fresh beats from the young thug J.Farraday . Expect fat bass, snappy snare hits, wishy-washy vocal samples n chillwave at it's finest. This kid is only getting better, who knows where he'll be a year from now. Wait 'til someone starts spitting on this stuff, it'll surely be nasty. In the meantime vibe out to this lil' mini tape release. Oh, and don't forget about Beat Tape #1 .

Co La's latest album is a pretty intriguing journey through complex beats and disorienting samples. WATCH THE REVIEW

Sample is the alias of 21-year-old Toronto-native Adam McCluskey. Pretty new to the scene, the kid has made a declaration to bring moombahton back to its roots, which he believe he's doing with his latest track, "Goin'". It's a stripped down, simple yet very groovy tune that seems to be catching quite a bit of attention. Hit play below and be sure to tell us if you're feeling the attempt to bring back the 'ton!

21-year-old Adam McCluskey aka Sample has set out to turn the moombahton heads into believers. The dude says he's been searching for his niche in electronic dance music since he was sixteen, and he says with "Goin'," he's finally found it. "Goin'" is a stripped down, simple moombahton track that emphasizes the genre's reggaeton background. Mr. Sample says the track attempts to bring the genre back to its roots. Let us know what you think of the attempt after you press play below.
A DBJ regular is looking to track down the sample source on this track. Does anyone know what it is? If so, leave a comment or @reply me on twitter. Thanks! --- Follow me on Twitter: twitter.com/shawnryan
If there is one thing I can always rely on, it is YONAS sampling an awesome tune, then laying down a sick flow. And that is exactly what he has done here, sampling the addictive vocals from John Newman and Rudimental's massive summer tune, 'Feel The Love'.YONAS then adds his trademark clever and touching feel [...]

LORD BOYD - Rain Beat San Francisco based producer Charles Boyd aka LORD BOYD just dropped a new tune craving for an MC to handle it the proper way! The truth is, though, that with someone rapping on it or not Rain Beat can stand alone for its midnight, soulful and world sampledelica that lifts this magnificent tune up in the clear sky. A lone late night anthem that makes you wish these two minutes could never end!!!
The self-titled debut album from English duo Letherette is a colorful trip through a dusty, sample-driven take on house music and instrumental hip hop. "D&T" is a prime representation of the album's house roots, placing groove-laden drums under infectiously sliced vocal snippets and similarly chopped synthesizer bits. The aesthetic is one of its most appealing aspects, favoring an endearingly analog quality rather than venturing into overproduced sheen. When the song eventually peaks with a soaring guitar solo, its melding of the past and present comes fully into fruition, and with it is one of Letherette's greatest strengths: the ability to [...]

Edit Murphy (no relation to Charlie) is one of those names that pops up in my SoundCloud feed once every 3 or 6 months and immediately cools it down. Always on point, Murph-dawg pretty much only releases very good, "ambient disco house" that emit extreme Boogie Nights vibes (pre-fall of Dirk Diggler). Murph's latest release is a free download (fist pump) that House of Disco never officially released, I assume because this sweet sample (Buehller?) couldn't get cleared. Like usual, it's on point. HOD describes it far better than I can: Keni is a track that [...]
