Popeska: #OneTrackADay, July 2014

You see crazy things happen.  Sometimes you act on them and sometimes you watch them pass.  I wasn't at Bonnaroo this year to see Skrillex DJ B2B with Mija as the sun came up, I wasn't in one of the 4 cities Diplo played as part of his Trap Hawk Down concept, and I don't know if I'm ever going to get a chance to see Bassnectar and Pretty Lights play a BassLights concert.

What I do know is that I am going to watch Popeska crank out a new tune every day for the month of July in the year 2014 (or at least 9 in 9 days at this point in time).

Check out those released so far here:



Looking through his 128 songs on his Soundcloud, you can see experimentation in "brostep," moombahton, and more, eventually leading up to some of his more house oriented tracks.  I'm not going to speculate on why he chose the direction to go in with his production, because any path he would have chosen would have produced phenomenal work.  Let his #OneTrackADay project speak for itself.  Free DLs can be found through his Facebook page: Popeska Free Downloads Via Facebook.  And as always, enjoy.

Cashmere Cat does, I think. I don't particularly.

So there's this singer called Miguel.  You've probably heard of him.  Quickie.  Sure Thing. Adorn? Okay, you get the picture.

So there's this song called Do You... and its pretty awesome.  A nice acoustic Miguel joint.

Cashmere Cat then decided to make one of the illest remixes in the game right now.  Normally I'm like eh, this remix is pretty good.  Naw, screw that noise.  Flosstradamus was like "ay, do y'all like drugs?" and I was like HYFR I DO!  You gotta listen to this song just to understand what I mean.

And as always, Enjoy!

Innovation: Edgewoode, Kennedy Jones & Soul Define

I don't mean to diss the trap game.  Trust me, I'm a fan.  Flosstradamus had me sweatin' through my jeans.

But, originality is lacking.  With the multiple collaborations, duos, and vast inspiration from multitudes of artists, I find it odd that after awhile it all starts to blend.  Even for me.  That's when these gems start to shine bright like diamonds (okay, I'll stop now).

That all being said, today I was impressed with these new songs that stepped way out of the norm.  First, Edgewood, Mayhem's side project (as I understand).  Treasure Fingers, the original artist, released Cloudlife to the masses as this funky house smooth groove.  Check him out for the original.  But this remix is something else. Simply put, funky glitch-hop with trap elements.  I really don't know how else to describe it. Jungle sounds, funky bass, hi-hats.  Just listen.



Then I came across this wonderful gem.  Kennedy Jones and Soul Define collab on the smooth lounge grind.  Enter the sax and the soothing female vocals.  Next it caught me off guard, cuz I coulda swore Atmosphere jumped on the track.  Soul Define.  Killin' everything.


Gotta love it when amazing tracks are free, and as always, Enjoy!
