Miros) Cream of the Crop rolls out the smooth welcoming vibes of classic hip-hop intertwined with future music. It’s an incredibly sweet mix of the old and the new. The production is tight, the vocals are on points, and the feels are real. Wobbly bass trades places with electric bass often and we love the interplay. The song is just long enough to leave you wanting more of it. Listen below.     Aftrprty – Moon Rock A lonely astronaut floats in space, singing, and longing for people. That’s the type of come-down loneliness that this song leaves you …

Beat Lab Reviews – Fresh Tracks of the Week December 7th, 2018

Beat Lab Reviews – Fresh Tracks of the Week December 7th, 2018 Welcome back, you’re just in time for the cold and rain to hit us in Los Angeles. This week we’ve got fresh tracks despite the weather. EDM, Hip-hop, refreshing R&B, some kick-ass Cloud Hop, and some funky house remixes. Listen below. su_divider top=”no” divider_color=”#d2d2d2″ size=”1″ DAZZ – Masterpiece In recent years it feels like EDM has waned a little bit as electronic music becomes more nuanced and subgenres crop up. Masterpiece by DAZZ defies that in every way. It has a distinctly EDM feel but the production leans toward Tropical House and the grooves are funky as hell. The vocalist on the track sings wonderfully and the lyrics are right in line with the vibe of the song. It’s a nice return to form with this one. Listen below.     The Experience – Playa Playa is an instant …

Beat Lab Reviews – Fresh Tracks of the Week November 16th, 2018

Beat Lab Reviews – Fresh Tracks of the Week November 16th, 2018 Hey hey hey, we’ve got a brand new lineup of Fresh Tracks. Some rare folk music, awesome indie dance, dope hip-hop, and good ‘ole indie. Listen below. su_divider top=”no” divider_color=”#d2d2d2″ size=”1″   Yaron Kaver – Take My Way Yaron Kaver has created a beautiful song by utilizing the powerful nature of his voice and spot-on instrumentation. The gravel timbre of his voice is made for folk music. The subtle bell accents at the end of various phrases are sublime. The acoustic guitar ukelele is a perfect cradle for his palpable emotion. We don’t often post about folk music in Fresh Tracks but when we do you know they’re worth checking out. Listen below.   su_youtube_advanced url=”https://youtu.be/6Gkh2FO4f-0″ showinfo=”no” rel=”no” modestbranding=”yes” https=”yes” /su_youtube_advanced   Jason Miller – Deep In My Eyes Zip up that leather hoody, and grab your pair of LED gloves, …

Beat Lab Reviews – Fresh Tracks of the Week October 26th, 2018

Beat Lab Reviews – Fresh Tracks of the Week October 26th, 2018 This week we’ve got a majority of hip-hop but two of the songs are electronic inspired songs that sit comfortably in their places. Clean production, smooth rhymes, laid-back vibes, and hype beats. These are the Fresh Tracks of the Week. Listen below. su_divider top=”no” divider_color=”#d2d2d2″ size=”1″ Hadron Sounds – Let Me Live My Life ft. Soroya Grosso The song opens with loads of attitude, then ebbs and flows between a rock anthem and pop-filled indie electronic jam. What starts out as a saxophone tone morphs into a growling bass with a short wubby breakdown. We return to the nearly-ska swang chorus halfway through the song before breaking into a piano ballad that lulls us into a soft sense of security…THEN BAM. We’re back to the wholly catchy chorus. It never misses a beat, listen below.    Bobby J From …
