Chuurch drops new hit track from EP, One Mind

March 16, 2018August 29, 2018Rex Anderson

Chuurch have poised themselves for another big year by announcing their new EP project – Uunion. The full EP will be out on March 27th, through Skrillex’s label NEST.

The Calgary production duo have been leaving their infectious and distinctive bass-driven beats in the minds of many while touring across Canada. Having previously released projects on Deadbeats, Perfect Driver and This Ain’t Bristol, Chuurch is here today to give their fans a sneak peak to one of their EP’s tracks – One Mind.

When asked about the duo’s early days, both artist revealed that they met through chance and started collaborating in production, not knowing that what would soon come of it. Coming from very different music backgrounds, one in Hip Hop while the other in Jazz music, the two managed to find creative inspirations from one another that spans into what we know today – Chuurch. What sets them apart from the masses in the crowded genre of electronic music is their signature stripped-back bass sound that has been coined “Lean Bass” by fans.

The track One Mind follows the signature style of the artists’ vision, creating an industrial sound that still has an aggressive and upbeat edge to it, in line with their avant-garde approach to music production. It generates such a fresh and immediately recognizable sound that the moment you listen to it, you’re hitting that repeat button.

#NapGirls – Doing big things for women in the industry.

October 15, 2015AllDay

The homies over at NEST HQ posted an article earlier this week about an awesome group of women that have joined together to help each other achieve their dreams in the typically male dominant world of electronic music. I happen to be good friends with quite a few of the #NapGirls and have been a major supporter of everything they have done from day 1. I’m incredibly proud of them and wanted to give them a little shine on my site and I recommend that you check out the full article here. I picked out a little quote below that sums up what they are really all about.

“At its core, the whole Nap Girls phenomenon is completely organic, so the name of the game for founder Liz Garard and all 120+ official Nap Girls was to harness the momentum and solidify the mission. “It started as kind of a joke, I sent a bunch of friends a Snapchat asking if they wanted to join my gang,” says Liz, who seems to be divinely engineered to start this group. She was a Women’s Studies major at Vanderbilt, active in a sorority and wrote her senior thesis titled ‘The Objectification and Commodification of the Female Body in Rave Culture in the New Millennium: Peace Love and #Ravebooty’.”

The #NapGirls have their first official event coming up later this month and I will keep you posted on the details.

#FutureFeels – Same sweet playlists, brand new name

October 14, 2015October 14, 2015AllDay

I know my posts have been few and far between this summer. While still trying to land some kind of steady job, I have not been able to really get back into any sort of regular flow of posting. Then came the depression and all shit just went to hell. The worst is far behind me now and I want to get back into working around the things that I love. This blog has always been a part of me and while I know it barely gets any traffic anymore, it still gives me a chance to collect and share all of the music that inspires me every day.

I will soon be launching a new site to compliment AlwaysHustle. The new site (FutureFeels.com) will be focused around the relationship between music and fashion. It will have few words and lots of imagery and hopefully it will connect two of my passions in a way that will get people excited about what your favorite artists are wearing.

I have also taken on a new gig at MagneticMag.com where I will be managing their hip hop content. I have lots of great things in the works and with time I hope to connect all of these projects under my Quickstrike Media brand and establish a true platform for the content I love and really care about. I will keep you all posted on everything and for now I have 2 playlists filled with dope music for you to check out. Enjoy and I’ll hopefully have more posts for you soon.
