Mau5trap’s shining star Jon Gooch (the 17 year old me has been withholding immature jokes on the inside) aka Feed Me just released his third official project, the Escape from Electric Mountain EP. The two tracks that leaked in the past week helped build an already high level of excitement, like receiving dirty texts the night before reuniting with a long distance girlfriend. The little guy shows off some range with the six songs, proving that it’s tough to confine artists to any one genre anymore.

“Trapdoor” combines some alt-rock vocals courtesy of Hadouken with a dubstep drop. “One Click Headshot” packs as much energy and bass as you can fit into 4:47 with the moombah/jump-up epidemic that Skrillex & Knife Party have spread. (That sample comes from here). “Whiskers,” a track co-produced with Gemini is a full fledged banger. “Relocation” threw me off guard in the best way possible — a progressive, softer electronic song with pleasant melodies and a thick distorted bassline. I sense some mau5 influence. And if you’ve dug his previous incorporation of powerful vocals, he brings along a mysterious and talented ‘Lindsay’ on “Embers,” a more traditional electro house track. His precision in production is apparent – every effect (and there’s a lot) is so crisp and the bass never fails to hits home.

Grab the EP on Beatport and if you don’t have the $15 hit me on Twitter and I’ll try to point you in the right direction. This bad boy’s my favorite release thus far in 2012. If I ever make it to electric mountain, I’m never leavin’.

Coachella‘s on the horizon, which means it’s time to get you lucky ticketholders ready for the two weekend extravaganza. Harlem’s A$AP Rocky popped up on everyone’s radar when he slowed down last summer with “Purple Swag.” I honestly couldn’t rationally tell you why he’s good, I just know when I shut up and listen my ears are down. He combines the slickness of NY rap with the southern trill style with other shit I can’t really discern. He doesn’t really say much on LiveLoveA$AP if you’re one to analyze lyrics, but it’s tough to pay attention anyways when the production courtesy of Clams Casino, Spaceghost Purp, and others sends your brain to a different realm. He takes swag rap from stupid as fuck to enjoyable which is cool with me. Great to listen to when you’re all twisted on multiple substances which tends to happen in Indio. Catch him on Friday.

A$AP Rocky – BASS
A$AP Rocky – Peso
A$AP Rocky – Brand New Guy (ft. Schoolboy Q)
A$AP Rocky – Wassup
A$AP Rocky – Pretty Flacko

Another banger from Adventure Club. Uplifting dubstep is such a strange combination of feelings; crazy how dirt can leave you feeling clean. It’s like walking into the shadiest alley by yourself and meeting the nicest drug dealer that makes your night with the drugs he provides. At this point you should have already skipped over whatever the fuck I have to say about this song because I’ve learned it’s tough to be disappointed with an Adventure Club release.

Catch them at the Yost Theater 3/21 (18+ RSVP; 21+ RSVP) 18+ $10 before 10 PM, 21+ FREE before 10 PM. They’ll also be at the Key Club in LA 2/22 for $10 (Tickets)

After my ears took a beating courtesy of Funktion One sound and Dillon Francis Sunday night, I almost felt like I couldn’t really listen to anything yesterday. My ears are lit’rally still ringing and it’s now been a good 30 hours. But, Bassnectar dropped a little mixtape for us yesterday and figured if I’m gonna call myself a true Basshead I better sack up and just turn up the volume to make up for the hearing impairment. He starts off with a remix of The Beastie Boys Intergalactic (a personal childhood favorite) and keeps it goin for a solid 30 minutes of bass. Head over to his Facebook for the D/L and check the dates for his Vava Voom tour after the jump. We’re making it out to his hometown Santa Cruz, come party!

Feed Me having a brand of cigarettes would be pretty fitting. I liken listening to the array of sounds the little fucker puts together to something similar to smoking a cigarette. Gotta inhale deep (pay close attention) to get the full effect of the nicotine (understand the genius). Hits hard in all the key body parts – lungs/nervous system/heart/brain. And first timers would find themselves struggling for breath. He and Gemini produced a winner here. If you were to blend senses, this track is kinda sweet, kinda sour – like auditory watermelon sour patch kids. I don’t really know how to explain that. The ‘drop’ is some rhythmic filth. This is off his new EP, out February 6th. He’s about to head out on tour with his Teeth set which is massive – check out a video of it and the check the tour dates after the jump.

Feed Me & Gemini – Whiskers

Logic‘s one of those few artists that when you first come across immediately captivate your attention like a 20 mg XR adderall. You look up at the clock after travelling through a YouTube pipeline and you’ve lost all sunlight for the day. He’s got something good cookin. Old school sound with new school flavor. The flow is “elegant, never irrelevant,” and borderline aurally hypnotizing. The passion for lyricism is obvious even to the most oblivious. Pushes the message of peace & positivity and the confidence is based off of ability not possessions. Dude is nice, plain and simple. Check his new video for Young Sinatra III and grab his Young Sinatra tape below if you haven’t.

I usually would stay away from remixes of an album as clean start to finish as Nero’s Welcome Reality, but “Must Be the Feeling” just got some remix treatment from UK’s Delta Heavy and it’s got me all giddy. There’s two things I love to do when listening to electronic music: bang my head and get down on the dance floor. Delta Heavy accomplishes both; Must Be the Feeling already had cemented itself as my favorite from the album by combining these two things so well with an 80s feel. Delta Heavy’s remix takes the original feel and turns it into a little moombahton, a little thrash — what’re the kids calling that shit now, moombahcore? — and a costco sized red bull of energy. Plus it’s Free.99. Their other tracks jump around genres and deserve to be in the library.
