Jayteehazard Unleashes ‘We Do’, Announces Red Shift EP

Jim Steps

In-demand DJ and producer jayteehazard continues to surprise with ‘We Do’ delving further into the intersecting turf between hip hop and electronic music. The heavy percussion of his hip hop roots are here, as is the nuanced ‘sample-like’ instrumentation, but a more distinct electronic personality comes across, with outspoken synth-leads in full cry amongst the booming bottom end. He builds upon his acclaimed production work on debut EP Cold Blue and remixes for the likes of Hermitude. ‘We Do’ was mixed by Diplo collaborator and Grammy nominated engineer/producer Franklin Rodríguez aka El Medico. Red Shift EP will be out February 6 … Continue reading Jayteehazard Unleashes ‘We Do’, Announces Red Shift EP

Tom Showtime ‘Life is Funky’ feat. D’Fro

Jim Steps

Good funk tracks are hard to come by these days, but Melbourne based producer and multi-instrumentalist Tom Showtime has nailed it with his new track ‘Life is Funky’ featuring D’Fro (The Psyde Projects). ‘Life is Funky’ features vintage funk loops, syncopated horns, and a grooving baseline. With a 90’s flow reminiscent of The Roots, D’Fro’s slick raps speak on getting stuck in a rut, in a life funk. “This track is a ‘tip of the hat’ to the golden era with a funk break, big beats, horn stabs and that 90s style rapping.” – Tom Showtime Currently working on an … Continue reading Tom Showtime ‘Life is Funky’ feat.

Narly Memory Lane feat. Savo

Jim Steps

Melbourne MC Narly, has been making waves of late, especially with his viral track, Are You Ok? Again, we find Narly killing it on a brand collaboration joint with the beast Savo. The new track titled Memory Lane features Savo, and was constructed from fan comments on his Facebook page, a tactic that’s used by more and more upcoming new school rappers, and it seems to be working. Memory Lane, as the title suggests, takes the listener on a nostalgic journey throughout the 90’s with references to Tracey McBean, Round The Twist and of course Cheez TV. The new joint … Continue reading Narly Memory Lane feat. Savo
