3LAU - Dance Floor Filth 2 (Dubstep / Mashup)


     Ladies and gentlemen 3LAU is at it again, with his second installment of Dance Floor Filth, a twelve strong collection of hard hitting bootlegs and edits, your night life will never be the same. Again, another extremely talented young man in the electronic field, at just 21 Justin "3LAU" has been rocking clubs round the world with his amazing blend of top 40 hits and electro beats, branching from house to dubstep and back again. His first album represented my first successful attempt to bridge my music with my friends, which went surprisingly well, but this style requires me to tone it down in places where I need to uphold my hipster image, "its just a remix" doesn't work anymore. Also just a warning driving to this is the most fun you'll have in a car, watch the limits.

Upper West - West Side Stories (Rap / Hip Hop)


     Lets just start this off by saying I've been keeping up with a lot of frat rap and hip hop these days, and the game is seriously lacking, the duo that is Upper West have restored my faith, or at least gained a new fan. But don't my uneducated label scare you, this album is top notch electro hip hop, my favorite rap album in a long time. They're also responsible for the best colab I've heard in a long time; Dougie, Jfink, Gabriel Stark, Reef and Sarah Solovay, so with that listen on and be amazed.

The TANUKI Project - One By One (Alternative Electronic)

      Art for art's sake, I couldn't have said it better myself, Montreal natives The Tanuki Project, are an alternative electronic visual band. Which means you're going to be saying, "a guitar shouldn't make noises like that" a lot. Every performance is like an exhibit at an art gallery, pushing the limits of your artistic senses making you draw connections between visuals and audio.

     I first heard their single High Unholy under the Cyberpunk_music subreddit, the music video was a little hard to watch, being completely about police brutality, but once that visual is out of your head its not hard to imagine surfing around a sci fi city blasting these tunes which I guess was the whole reason I found it where I did. If you need a little help with the imagination part check out their website, specifically their live sets to get the whole scope of the combination act.

     The Tanuki Project have been described as "The Ting Tings meet Nine Inch Nails", I would say more Metric meets Sybreed, or Airlock meets 65 Days of Static, either way its a perfect blend of hard rock styling, driving electro beats, and haunting vocals. The fact that they're Canadian just seals the deal for me. So pick up their album One by One and the High Unholy single for the great price of free below and hit all those links above for a little networking.



     Also if the band just happens to see this I apologize for my recent lack of writing skills, I thought it was more important just to get the word out. So please support the artists and check us out on Facebook here. Cheers.
