jdub - First Light

Today's track comes from one of our writers who also produces. The track is First Light by jdub. By his own admission, this track doesn't really fit any of the current subgenres. It is 128 BPM but doesn't have the 4 on the floor feel of house tracks. He wanted to keep things dynamic and not over compressed. Other well respected reviewers have said that this track reminded them of Porter Robinson. That is very high praise for this up and coming artist. Is it well deserved? Decide for yourself and let us know what you think. Check out the track and follow jdub for his latest tracks.

Novo Amor & Ed Tullett - Faux (Said the Sky Remix)

"Working on this track was something I've never experienced before. The love I have for the original made it so easy make." - Said The Sky

I suppose it is something that only an artist can truly appreciate, but there are times when producing a track that everything just falls into place. It's the creative equivalent of an athlete being "in the zone".  Personally, I've only been there a few times, but it's easy to hear when others are there. Said The Sky, by his own admission was there when he remixed Faux by Novo Amor & Ed Tullett. It is a gripping, emotional piece that literally made my chest hurt with feels. I really love the use of acoustic instrument samples. The guitar and piano add such depth and color. As good as this track is, Said The Sky has many others that I could have easily featured. His remix of Fire Inside by Gemini has been creating quite a buzz in the EDM community. I can't wait to hear more from this young and promising talent!

Skrux - If You (Original Mix)

Electronic Music doesn't often get the credit it deserves for being a true art form. So often it's stereotyped as only being "rave music" or "computer music" or "techno". If You by Skrux is one of many examples of how electronic music can be so much more. Using just a few samples of chopped vocals, Skrux creates a dynamic and emotional piece that will hit you right in the feels. It is amazing how much the vocals communicate without ever really forming a full sentence. Perfectly mixed and produced, this is the latest in a long line of must have tracks from Skrux. Keep your eye out for more from this 19 year old producer. The sky is the limit for him.
