YELLOW CLAW

 

Major Lazer finally released their second LP Free the Universe last month, but a little while back they released a remix EP with a few gems on there. Amongst one of the tracks was Yellow Claw‘s massive remix of “Get Free”. Get Free was one of the top tracks from 2012 and this is the best remix I’ve heard yet. Yellow Claw make mostly trap music, but the Amsterdam trio adds their own dirty dutch touch to the “genre”. I still don’t know if trap has done enough to earn the title of genre. It’s more of a sound, like fidget or wonky, but I like it. We’ll see how long this craze lasts until we’re onto the next. But in the meantime hit up Yellow Claw’s soundcloud page for more bass heavy beats.

 

EMPLOYEE OF THE YEAR

Employee of the Year are an unsigned production duo out of France who describe their style as “Slow French”. Which is a unique but accurate description. It’s not really super dancey, but it is sexy and its got a nice groove to it. I posted their Wild Belle remix earlier this year. They recently released a beautifully haunting remix of “The Wheel” by SOHN that I just can not stop playing. Its super infectious. Guys if you’re reading this post please come out to LA. We need a breathe of fresh air like this out here.
