[House] Alisky – Traces (feat. IOLITE)

Oooooh boy, Finland’s firey talent Alisky dropped his debut single recently and it’s a hot one. The collaboration with IOLITE called “Traces” has us putting Alisky high on our lists of artists to watch. In one fell swoop he grabs our ears with both hands and forces us to pay attention to his talents.

It’s always great to see a new act debut and “Traces” couldn’t have been a better first step for the producer. He sets his tone with a dynamic house record that is as danceable as it is delightful. It starts off quick and doesn’t pull any punches for its entirety. “Traces” is a must have, so add it to your library today.

[Drum & Bass] Crankdat feat. Sara Skinner – Say It

Crankdat isn’t one to shy away from trying new things creatively. He’s taken on genre after genre and now has added another to his catalog by way of “Say It” with Sara Skinner, who shines bright on this one.

Although he implements a few styles in different magnitudes, Crankdat focuses in on drum & bass with this catchy tune. It’s melodic nature really glues the tune to your brain, even after you’re done listening the tones play back in your head. It’s no wonder why Armada Music wanted to release this track, which is now available on digital platforms. Do yourself a favor, add it to your library.

[Music Video] URBANO – Standing Ovation

Philadelphia’s own brother/sister duo URBANO have steadily become a force in the world of pop and hip-hop. The siblings have carved their own space fusing these two genres together with other styles, including electronic music. That’s just what they did with their latest record “Standing Ovation.”

Not only did these two drop this heater, but they paired it with a music video to match. The video plays a straightforward scenario and bounces back and forth between John and Ris as they take on celebrity scenes. It’s a fun visual for an even funner track that does manage to hype you up. Check it below and enjoy.

[Electro] Dr. Fresch – No Introduction EP

Dr. Fresch recently took his sound down a new road and in doing so he has further flexed his musical abilities straight in our faces, or ears. His EP, No Introduction, comes with four singles including his already successful track “Fire.”

Released on Insomniac Records, No Introduction brings the heat right away and never lets up. The collection of songs share a similar umbrella style in electro, but Dr. Fresch and company, including Mina Knock and JACKNIFE, don’t just trudge forward with watered down dance music. Instead they burst forth with an amazing, cohesive project that pays homage to classic tracks while also showing where this genre is headed.
