[Hip-Hop] Azad Right – Spiderwebs

Posted by SkeetBeatz - September 15, 2011

In this day and age, quality, thoughtful hip hop is hard to come by. I have a hard time finding truly good tracks on the internet, because it is cluttered with garbage. I came across this track today by a guy, originally from Venice, named Azad Right, and I was beyond impressed. First of all, “Spiderwebs” samples Coldplay’s “Trouble” which is an immediate plus. In addition, the track features dreamy female vocals, and meaningful lyrics that have a message. Keep an eye out for this guy…

[Chilled] Inspired Flight – Wonderwall

Posted by SkeetBeatz - September 9, 2011

Prepare to have your mind blown. If you haven’t heard of Inspired Flight, get to know them now. This duo, who hail from San Diego, habitually mix together hip-hop, downtempo, reggae, electronica, indie and dance, into some beautiful tracks. This remix is not just your standard Oasis “Wonderwall” cover (vocals by Ryan Adams). It incorporates multiple Radiohead songs as well as tracks by Bob Marley, Postal Service, Morcheeba, Simian, and Blur. Check out this track, and another one called “It’s The Chemicals” below.

[Dutch House/Hip-Hop] Kanye West & Jay-z vs. Benny Benassi – Paris Satisifaction (Chuckie Pass That Dutch Remix)

Posted by SkeetBeatz - September 8, 2011

At Identity Fest, I thought that Chuckie’s set was by far the best. I don’t know if it was because I love dutch house, or because of his stage presence, but his act blew all other acts (including Avicii) out of the water. That being said, I just came across this phenomenal bootleg over the weekend, where Chuckie mixes Jay-Z and Kanye’s “Niggas In Paris” and Benni Benassi’s “Satisfaction”. The Dutch boy loves to incorporate rap into his sets, and I’m a big fan.

To celebrate reaching 100K facebook followers, they released “Coffee Break” for free. The track has a bangin bassline and some sweet tweaked Aretha Franklin vocals from “I Say A Little Prayer”. Get it now.

Posted by SkeetBeatz - August 30, 2011

You might not know the name, but you most likely know the sound. Kathryn Calder is a member of The New Pornographers, and has an absolutely beautiful voice as well as a talent for writing catchy lyrics. “Who Are You” is featured on her second solo album, titled Bright And Vivid which is due on October 25th via File Under: Music. If this is any indication of what her album will be like, Indie lovers have something great to look forward to.

[Dubstep] Mord Fustang – The Electric Dream (Charlie Darker Remix)

Posted by SkeetBeatz - August 24, 2011

Montreal native and 18 year old producer Charlie Darker (Evan Blair) has given the dubstep treatment to Mord Fustang’s face-melting “The Electric Dream”. I came across this track today surfing the interwebz, and let me tell you, I’m a big fan. It has the perfect amount of bass, a perfect drop, and the perfect amount of RAGE. Support the artist, and buy on Beatport.

[Indie/Nu Disco] LIPS – Everything To Me (Christian Strobe Remix)

Posted by SkeetBeatz - August 24, 2011

A little while back, TMN posted LIPS’ hazily beautiful track “Everything To Me”. Today, we present to you a rework by Christian Strobe. The Germain native gained a ton of popularity with his remix of M83’s “Midnight City”, and now hes back with killer take on another great original. Adding 80’s style electronic production and a nu disco feel, Strobe really hits the spot on this one.
