ENEMIES! – shogun
“Damn son, where did ya find this?” ENEMIES hits you in all the right places – the rumbling sub bassline, trap-inspired beat and the hypnotic analog synth glitchy sounds will make a great backdrop for a talented lyricist.
Bae | Prod. By Mairekade – J$MY MAIREKADE
Bae | Prod. By Mairekade is a first-class example of when classic rapid-fire hi-hats just work. Coupled with its soulful and chill vibes, it’s the perfect backdrop for a smooth R&B number.
The Masquerade – Chill.i.am in The Draconian Empire
Likened to “A hall for the damned”, The Masquerade is a dark sounding beat that isn’t just for Halloween. The haunting sound on the pads and deep bassline dominates the track, with melodic accents at all the right places. This is one epic beat.
PlayStation – Klassiq
Klassiq never fails to deliver a kick-ass electronic beat. PlayStation is one of his takes on the futurebeats genre. Still minimalistic in nature, we see so much potential for producers and beatmakers to put their twist on this.
Experiment💙Hiphop💙Electric – Turin Censured Techno in Beast Out Record$ INC13
Don’t be deceived by the Hammond organ intro. This one starts off old school, then quickly transitions into a futuristic, retrowave vibe. Glitchy sounds and all, this would feel right at home in an ’80s animated sci-fi fantasy film.
