Brenmar

I haven't seen the internet go this nuts about someone since Paul Wall. Just as the music/blog world became a tad too deep (for their own good), picky, and overly obsessed with coining emerging subgenres ("post-dubstep", Tiesto's shitfusion of trancey-house "Trouse", etc etc), Brenmar hit the radar with something desperately needed - club music. It's as if everyone had forgotten just how infectious the club sound is. Clever samples, R&B vocal chops, bass galore, and dancefloor appeal. Chicago-born & Brooklyn-based Brenmar is bringing that train back, and people are noticing (latest: FACT Magazine's top 10 producers to watch in 2011).

Brenmar - Taking It Down








Cassie - Me & U (Brenmar remix)








Also - watch out for Brenmar's upcoming remix of Nguzunguzu's "Mirage", due for release next month. Trust!

Ramadanman x James Fox

Released last January... how did I only bump into this now? Ramadanman, much like last time, comes proper.

Look At Me Now

Diplo & Afrojack on the beat - Weezy, Busta, & Brown on the delivery. Can we talk about how Busta absolutely merks this? Can we also talk about how much better this joint would be if Chris Brown were dropped and Yelawolf put on instead? Oof.

Jacques Greene

I'm still on that Jacques Greene tip. Never upped his material before but the Montreal dude is on point. Labels Night Slugs & LuckyMe share an ear for this stuff too, it seems.
