The Lost Boys & Griff Clawson – Sober

The Lost Boys and Griff Clawson collaborated to create “Sober,” a track with a message that seems pretty universal, especially for college kids. The track is basically about kissing someone for the first time when you’ve had a few too many beers, and then waking up the next morning and thinking to yourself that you want to do it again, but this time minus the beers. This message makes sense, given the guys are all in college, studying at Texas Christian University and New York University. But despite their age, their talent shines through. “Sober” is filled with production risks, interesting layers, and catchy vocals that you won’t wanna miss.

[House] Qrion – GAF 1 EP

In a sea of releases that sound like they came from the same project file on Ableton, GAF 1 differentiates itself quickly.

Coming your way via Japanese-born Qrion, this dynamic duo of tracks is unique, refreshing, and ready to take you through your work week and into the weekend. “QAF” leads the way, sporting quirky synths that playfully line up against rapid-fire hi-hats and thumping kicks. A well-crafted vocal chop brings in late-90s RnB flavor, making this a wonderfully curious listen.

“23” boasts a gorgeous compilation of sampling, utilizing vocal hums and portions of lyrics as synths. Those ethereal notes pair perfectly with a steady beat and deep house vibe, offering quite the opposing experience from its counterpart. Both work in tandem, though, showcasing the breadth of abilities this quickly-rising producer is capable of.

We try to act like we don’t care about things but in reality we really do, sometimes without even
realizing it. As I started to notice this about other people, I learned that I also give a fuck. That’s
where the inspiration for this project comes from – Qrion
’GAF’

[Electronic] Golden Vessel – MOONSTONE feat. Elkkle & Akurei

Golden Vessel of Australia is ending 2018 with one final and super solid release, entitled “MOONSTONE” with friends and fellow collaborators  Elkkle & Akurei.

During a studio session Golden Vessel shares, ”I started  telling them about the stolen moonstones and then morphed it into a metaphor for a conversation we were having  earlier about missed opportunities and when we or friends miss out on something that should’ve been in reach (and  the frustration around that). The stolen moonstones became the missed opportunities and we all started writing. We tried  to sneak a few references from the different stories around stolen moon rocks into the song such as mentioning Joseph Gutheinz  who was a NASA special agent tasked with recovering the missing rocks.” This one is out now and you can grab it everywhere.

Lophiile- Off Top (With Freddie Gibbs)


Today we have the newest song by Washington state producer Lophiile featuring Gary, Indiana’s own Freddie Gibbs adding his flair to this great production. This is the first time hearing Lophiile in reality the reason this peaked my interest was because of the Freddie Gibbs feature but after listening to this track I will have to dive into Lophiile’s discography. The track starts with a sound effect that sounds closely to steel drums, the bright sounds are followed by the muffled rapping of Freddie that starts the track with great anticipation. When the beat drops its uplifting as well as a good amount of bass that Freddie raps effortlessly over, rapping about the things Gangsta Gibbs is known for making money moving bricks of cocaine, having a girl that will shoot with him and for him, smoking a backwood while in a hot tub with a lot of women and of course having a crackhead cooking his cocaine for him. If your a fan of Freddie this is a great freestyle by the Gary, Indiana native but Lophiile’s production is the best thing about this track. I will be checking more from this artist and I hope he and Gibbs will be able to work together more and create even more great music.
