The War Is Over Thanks To Alexander Lewis’ New Single!

The War Is Over Thanks To Alexander Lewis’ New Single!

The talented LA-based producer Alexander Lewis does not only make music; he crafts art by combining his love for trombones with his advanced production techniques. Lewis’ seamless incorporation of trombones into his production caught the public eye a few years ago with the trombone remixes of Troyboi’s Flamez (Alexander Lewis remix) and Kanye’s All Of The Lights (Alexander Lewis remix). As a producer, Lewis is bringing innovation to the Hip-Hop world and expanding the limits of this highly praised genre.

Today, Lewis is back with Win the War feat. B Anderson, the first single from his upcoming project – The Red EP – which he’s planning to release this summer. While Win the War captures the essence of Lewis, it’s also indicates a transition in his production style from a rap-dance music production in his previous project Omni EP to a more hip-hop oriented style with The Red EP.

Lewis surpasses himself with Win the War by including a 12-piece band to record the brass section that resonates with ultimate harmony with the strong hip-hop beats he introduces. Apart from the brass section, the vocal mix is also one of the smoothest with Dallas-based rapper B Anderson chanting this glorious song and making the audience strive for victory. The low vocal melody and repetition for the phrases “I get mine, you get yours” utilized in the choruses helps to emphasize the outcome of the war, how the winner will be the one who puts the most effort and will reap what they sow.

Lewis recently produced Juice WRLD’s song Big and has another song lined up featuring Chief Keef and T-Shyne after the release of his EP. He has gained over millions of streams with his trombone take on songs, and now he is ready to gain much more with Win the War feat. B Anderson and eventually The Red EP.

The Code Revolutionizes R&B-Electronic Music With New EP

The Code Revolutionizes R&B-Electronic Music With New EP

The Code’s new EP “mercury” is out today, a few months after teasing the us by releasing “moments”, which was first played at 1Xtra by DJ Target. On their mission of bringing down the barriers that distinguish genres, The Code is putting their advanced R&B/Hip Hop production skills to use and creating a space travel experience for people who are exposed to their artistic vision.

The Code opens up the EP with “system” to set the tone and lets the audience know that even though you can only hear with your ears, you will be immersed into a 3-D experience by just listening to this EP. The precision of the beats juxtaposing with a melody that resembles lo-fi but is also in harmony with every aspect of the production are the main reasons for this EP to sound like a message from distant galaxies.

In The Code’s own words, “This is what it must feel like to be retrograde”.

The Code keeps their identity anonymous to avoid distorted social media representations and to speak only through their art. This strategy has helped them a lot as it can be observed from the 8 million streams they have gained from “Gravity” featuring the rap legend G-Eazy.

The Code has also been praised by outlets like The 405 and Pigeons & Planes for their debut “Blue Electronica” and another long project “Paramount”.

Cour T. – Black Magic

Cour T. – Black Magic

Cour T. might only be 16, but he’s already got a promising career ahead as DIRTYBIRD’s newest signee. His newest EP, Black Magic, contains one of Claude VonStroke’s favorite tracks of the year. Said tune, the two-tracker’s eponymous A-side,  stimulating, driving, and sensous, tapping into the carnal parts of the brain via hollow percussive elements stripped-down synths. “Downstairs” also packs the heat, taking on a longey, 4am feel with minimal production and a pulsing bassline.

“Every time I play Cour T.’s ‘Black Magic”’ the room changes. The entire vibe of the party goes from hands in the air to grinding, sexual energy, states VonStroke of his treasured new release. “his track has arcane properties on the dance floor. I wish I had 10 tracks with this vibe because nothing else sounds like it and when I play it, I always wish I could keep the vibe for longer.”

No wonder he kept it so long for himself before releasing to the masses.

Holly Gets Personal With Fans In New Music Video

Today is a strong day for Holly, Portuguese producer/DJ, as he unveiled the music video for his new single Encontrar feat. Slow J. The hip/hop artist is building anticipation for his upcoming EP – Avenal 2500 – which will be released on May 17th. The EP is speculated to be a very introspective work, as it can be interpreted from the reflective nature of this new single. Holly decided to team up with his close friend and successful Portuguese rapper Slow J for the production of this personal project.

Holly describes the meaning of the song and working with Slow J with these words:

“’Encontrar’ is an extremely important record for my soul at this point in my life. Every day, I’ve been facing this process of self-betterment and striving to become the best artist and person that I can be rather than fearing that I won’t achieve my goals, which makes me feel like I’m climbing up a never-ending stairway. It makes this record even more special to have the energy of Slow J, since he’s one of my closest friends in music and is also an artist that I look up to immensely.”

The music video was shot in Lisbon and directed/edited by Made in Lx, produced by Sente Isto and features the talented dancer Elohim Atons performing an evocative dance routine. Holly and Slow J also appear in the video, connecting with the audience through imagery.

Chicago’s “Spring Awakening” returns with a stacked line up featuring Dj Snake, Rezz, Martin Garrix and more.

Chicago’s “Spring Awakening” returns with a stacked line up featuring Dj Snake, Rezz, Martin Garrix and more.

Spring Awakening is coming back to Chicago from June 7th to the 9th in 2019 for an epic 3 days with a super stacked line up. They are taking a different direction with their 8th installment of the festival as it will now be held at  Poplar Creek at 59-90 Entertainment District in Hoffman Estates, located in the Northwest Suburbs of Chicago. This venue is nearly double the size of the Spring Awakening Music Festival’s previous year, now occupying 27 acres.  As the most sizable Electronic music festival in the midwest, It’s always a spectacle to see festival planners create new infrastructure around a new location.

The line up this year will be home to over ninety artists throwing down at 5 different stages across the venue. We are most excited to see Droeloe, Shiba San, and TroyBoi though there are so many incredible acts that it will most likely be difficult to catch them all! It’s apparent that a ton of thought went into this huge line up as its range of sounds cover all types of EDM across the board.

As well as stunning production on each stage, Spring Awakening Music Festival will be running interactive art installations, carnival rides, food vendors, and more! This year around they will finally offer on site parking as well. All in all this festival is looking to be a can’t miss and you’ll want to start planning your epic experience by getting tickets here.
