Chocolate Puma & Firebeatz- Just One More Time Baby



I can't believe I neglected to post this until now. Here we have a very belated recognition of the awesomeness of this collaboration between Chocolate Puma, the dutch house duo also known as Zki & Dobre (who you should know from classics such as "Disco Electrique", and his much under-appreciated remix of Toulouse) and Firebeatz, famous for tracks such as "Funky Shit" and "Where's Your Head At".

The song is full of seriously funky horns and is just so ass-shakeable. The video is damn funny. What more could you want? A download link you say? Fine. Here.

Also, check out Firebeatz's new remix of Alex Kenji, and tell me what you think of their newest original (I'm not much of a fan.)..

TNGHT- Higher Ground



TNGHT is Hudson Mohawke and Lunice, and this is "Higher Ground". The clappy drums at the start remind me of "Express Yourself", with the female vocals making a pretty crazy sound. We then build up in a crescendo of horns until we get to a trap drop with some hardstyle elements. I don't know about you, but the driving bass in that drop just makes me want to get on the dancefloor and throw my body around like a maniac.

Unfortunately I haven't been able to find a decent quality download for you, but I will edit this post when I do!

CRNKN- New trap

CRNKN is a 19-year old producer and a skilled maker of trap-influenced EDM from the very un-ghetto New Hampshire, USA. He has been making some waves with his recent productions, enough to get support from BBC Radio 1 and artists such as Flosstradamus and Foreign Beggars. Indeed, he's got big enough to merit collaborating with UZ on the sick track "Booty 2 the Ground".



Another huge track of his you should absolutely listen to is his remix of Die Antwoort's epic track "I Fink U Freeky". He keeps the flow of the original and uses the vocal track to perfection for a huge skanking classic.



For something on the more destructive, acid-lead side of trap, you can listen to his killer collaboration with Protohype,"Boom".



Not only is the man super skilled at producing, he's also got a sense of humour. Or at least, I assume that his Cascada remix is him trolling the shit out of us. The best part is, even if it is, it turns out to be a sick track. Until 1:20 it sounds like it will just be a cheesy remix of a cheesy song. Then he drops into crazy trap mode and evolves into a hard-hitting track which just makes me want to move.


He also puts a stroong mix together when he wants to. Listen to his Trillionaire Mixtape, enjoy.
