Juicy J invites his fans to keep the party going with another leak from his forthcoming Stay Trippy album. ”Ain’t No Coming Down” features the production work of Childish Major and C4, a venture that feels more like a dark, ominous party than a high end one. I’m talking basement floor of the club shit here, not the roof. In typical Juicy fashion, it’s trippy as ever.

Fool’s Gold dance duo Oliver returns with a solid remix to follow up their unbelievably good debut EP Mechanical. On their electronic spin of Kris Menace’s “Waiting For You”, the two opt for a darker groove to their 80′s inspired nu disco sound. Alongside the perfect snares and climatic transitions, it’s another example of the awesomeness of one of the more exciting acts on A-Trak and Nick Catchdubs’ record label.
Rockie Fresh only dropped his debut mixtape Electric Highway a few months back, but the new asset on the Maybach Music Group portfolio isn’t about to rest on his laurels. ”Panera Bread” sees the MMG artist again draw from the production well of Lunice and cop an introductory verse from his supervisor Rick Ross. It’s a preview for The Birthday Tape which will drop next week in honor of Rockie’s birthday. The celebrations, it seems, will continue long thereafter.
Along with warm weather, beach days, and tan skin, Pretty Lights fans can now add a new album to the list of things they will gladly welcome with open arms this summer season. A Color Map of the Sun will arrive for free July 2nd and includes this feel good, hip-hop jam with Talib Kweli called “Around the Block”. Always the unique, experiential, and inventive type is Derek Vincent Smith, and by the looks of the video, it’s more of the same recipe. Or, lack of a recipe in and of itself, for that matter.
Here’s a preview from the forthcoming remix package for “Bullet That Saved Me” by Tritonal.

Stream below and keep your eyes out for its release on April 29th.
Funk Flex’sWho You Mad At? Me Or Yourself? mixtape is scheduled for an April 17th release. It’s a stacked list with 26 jams coming from big names like Fabolous, Wale, Mac Miller, Joey Bada$$, Jadakiss, and Styles P. You’ll also get your hands on Action Bronson’s new jam “Live From Kissena Blvd” featuring the production work of Statik Selectah. Bronsolino shits on the beat – literally – so bump this loud and mark Wednesday night on your calendar. This isn’t your standard mixtape.
Not much is known about TWRK, an emerging production duo hailing from Norway. They recently dropped a remix to Diplo & Lazerdisk Party Sex’s “Set it Off” that was officially premiered by Mad Decent, and just days later released a remix to Koreless’ “MTI”. Fast forward a week later, and you get “Living Room” featuring Dan Gerous, their first original release. Pitting some witty sample work of Eve and Gwen Stefani’s classic “Let Me Blow Ya Mind” against a low octave cut of a famous Snoop Dogg line, you can’t help but feel nostalgic bumping this one. Prepare to flashback to high school dances when you press play. Stream and free download below via Soundcloud.
London based producer Special Features dropped his new single this week via Big Beat Records. A top notch display of modern progressive house, “Illusions” should grab the attention of dance lovers with its triumphant melodies. Furthermore, it sets the stage for his soon to come remix of an Ellie Goulding song, an exciting follow-up to the UK man’s Big Beat debut.
After leaking his new single a couple weeks back, Sub Focus gives us a preview of one of the remixes coming for “Endorphins”. Fred V. & Grafix do just enough to tweak the original and produce a rework that I actually like even better. Stream the preview below, the single drops May 26th.
