The world of music is ever-expanding, ever-changing. The power of the internet, and steady increase for music PR has brought unsuspecting artists together to create genre-blending sounds, and unforeseen yet powerful collaborations. An unsuspecting collaboration indeed, Miley Cyrus' little sister, Noah teamed up with the controversial, highly-talked-about rapper, XXXTENTACION to drop their track, "Again." This unlikely duo's resonance traversed the world to inspire French producer Khamsin to bless "Again" with a near-experimental, glitch-dance treatment. Electrifying, and left-of-center, Khamsin is not one to fade into fads, destined to leave a lasting legacy in the electronic music community, he continuously expands his dexterity and taste into uncharted territory. This flip has spooky aromas, and witchy vibes capitalizing on Cyrus' melancholic vocals. Dark, brooding, and bold Khamsin is setting new standards for music. Volume up. Bass up. Repeat. Thanks, Khamsin.

BANDMASTER X EZERI - JUST PADDLE
Music, Original MixCommentHere's a cool record I came across in my perusings of the interwebs. The dreamy intro and casual piano lead to funky vocals and a lazy beat that really struck my fancy when I heard it. I'm not usually into more experimental music, but I thought this one had the right combination of funkiness and groove that starts to take a hold of you by the end. The end also just opens up and heads into a completely different direction from the opening leaving you rather breathless. I don't know much about Bandmaster or Ezeri other than that they are from Latvia and also just came out with an EP last Friday entitled "Stay Awake" that is also pretty tight so check it out!
ZOTTI - FLUME FT TOVE LO - SAY IT (ZOTTI FLIP)
Music, RemixCommentChopping up Flume is a risky venture, especially when it's a collaboration with "cool girl" Tove Lo. But for Nashville based producer, Zotti, remixing Flume was a fearless no-brainer. With a collection of Ableton projects "to the floor," this midiboyz artist is a goofball with a unique, artistic vision. Layered with a Super Mario-esque reverb and a charming melody, Zotti's flip is strategically syncopated in line with the sultry voice of Tove Lo. It's a geometric, musical articulation- striking to your every sense. At the ripe age of 21, Matt Zotti is gearing up to take on the thunderous world of the music industry with his eclectic and peculiar take on music, transforming it into youthful, experimental future bass. Explore the sounds of Zotti and his latest mix via Soundcloud.
