Thump Presents – ON DECK: Mija

When homies combine, you get an awesome mix from a great artist hosted by a very legit blog. It has been awesome to personally watch Mija do her thing over the last year and I’m very happy to support her here at AlwaysHustle. You will see a lot more from Mija in 2015.

More from THUMP below.

“For her ON DECK debut, Mija showcases what it is that’s so quickly elevated her above the hoi polloi – She’s as comfortable working through stylish house tunes as she is dropping hip-hop influenced bangers as she is rinsing tearout jams, and all in one set. This collection in particular starts off with some sleek numbers by Durante, Jack Beats and Worthy before weaving through Troyboi and her own (+ Ghastly) remix of Diplo and then ends up with an epic Skrillexian tearout via SPAG HEDDY. Oh, and the whole thing was mixed live.”

Premo is a god as far as I’m concerned. I just wish that more legit MCs got their hands on his beats.. Anyways, this is a dope little video showing a sneak peak of DJ Premier’s new live act which includes a full band. Of course it sounds epic as fuck and I will be the first one in line when this show comes to town.

Bobby Nourmand – The Sound

Bobby Nourmand – The Sound

This is a straight up warning that you are about to go one deeper (and a bit darker) on this next one. Today I have a new remix from our good friend Bobby Nourmand, a local LA DJ/Producer who for the second consecutive track in a row now has just crushed the entire classic rock genre. For his latest offering, Bobby’s creates his own rendition of Simon and Garfunkel’s “The sound of silence” and what you get here is a very dark mood driven beat that builds into something that you just have to dance to.

I’m really looking forward to seeing where Bobby will go from here as I feel like his music is just getting better and better. Deep house needs a producer like Bobby and he will continue to show you why as he releases more bangers like “The Sound”.

For the project, Salva flips a number of the hottest hip-hop tracks and turns them into energetic, dance anthems, perfect for the club atmosphere, with a number of added kicks and well-placed snares. To support his two new projects, Salva will be hitting the road next month for eight tour dates across the country that includes stops in Chicago, New York City, Atlanta, and Los Angeles.”

Info on the latest (episode 3)

“Published on Jan 27, 2015

Thomas continues his conversation with Coach K about the origin of trap music, beginning with Young Jeezy’s 2004 mixtape, Tha Streets Iz Watchin (according to Coach). Both Coach and super producer Zaytoven—who rose to prominence alongside Gucci Mane—explain the explosion of the genre and eventual beef between Young Jeezy and Gucci Mane. We quickly learn that Gucci Mane has not only become one of the most significant rappers in the Atlanta scene, but has so much leverage that his opinion can essentially decide the career trajectory of any new rapper trying to make it. What’s perhaps most impressive is that Gucci’s influence is still just as prominent as ever—even though he’s currently locked up until 2016.”

Finally we get a release date for Sam Gellaitry’s upcoming ep “Short Stories” due out on February 17th. I  have been pushing this guy to my friends for a while and I am damn happy to see Soulection tapping him next for a full on original release. This is another guy that we need to get playing in the states asap. The fact that this track has almost 40K plays in just under 20 hours tells me we won;t be waiting too long. Get the free download while you can.

Zapéd – Eyes Collide Feat. Groszek

What a great sound. I love finding out about producers when they are still fresh and with less than 200 soundcloud followers (not for long), you can say that the ausi/berlin based producer is still pretty fresh. Stoney Roads wrote up a nice little piece on Zapéd which you can read below.

From Stoney Roads:

“Another day, another insanely talented Australia producer.

Meet Zapéd, an Australian born, Berlin based beat-smith who’s been crafting lavish cuts of ambient, easy-going electronic that’ll soothe your soul for a little over a year now.

His latest “Eyes Collide” features fresh faced vocalist Groszek who helps bring an already quirky track to life with arching, aching vocals that help weave the ploddy beats and warm synths together.”
