Cherokee is building quite the reputation. 9 months ago, the French house duo churned out one of the best Daft Punk remixes to date. Now they’re back and funkier than ever. Also, big ups to Le Crayon; his remix of memory won the opening slot in Treasure Finger’s latest mix. So much good music has been floating around as of late, it’s as if the summer heat brings out the groovy jams.

The random debris of trapstyle has made it exponentially harder to filter out the quality from the rubbish. However, one track that stands out from the drivel is Major Lazer’s new trapstyle remix of Hot Chip’s ‘Look At Where We Are’. Diplo 4 President. In related news, Mad Decent has been releasing the individual lineups for their block parties. No word on the Los Angeles’ lineup, but fingers crossed for Baauer and Flosstradamus.

It’s official; the S.S. Traptanic has hit an iceberg and is quickly sinking. Just like what happened to moombahton, trap is now on an unavoidable crash course into the icy waters of the mainstream. It was fun while it lasted.

The EDM scene is a perpetually forward moving machine. New genres are constantly being explored : old ones forgotten. After three decades of existence, the ever nostalgic disco scene lives on. Hips swiveling, fingers pointing and hands twirling, the disco ball gathers no moss. On the contrary:

Nobody knows for sure, but some say trap music originated during the paleolithic era when early cavemen used bass music to attract the local cavewomen. Others say trap music didn’t come around until Abraham Lincoln chopped down a cherry tree and used it’s branches as snares. In search of the truth I emailed the highly respected History Channel, they replied, “Aliens.”
