While not the title track, Comfort Zone provides listeners with a signature, keen celestial tune – both smart and clean; layered with what can best be described as reminiscent of a nineties hip-hop type seesaw cadence.

At six years my junior his talent truly amazes. Sit back, relax and at least attempt to wrap your mind around this, “Bliss”.

Electus: Stay

As with most young producers today, the idea of anonymity is appealing.  All we know of Electus is that he is a young man named Oliver from Norway. Not much more is necessary. His music speaks volumes. Having started this adventure in 2012 it is quite surprising how refined his sound has become. While not extraordinarily adventurous his production skills are sharp, adding his two cents into the growing genre of melodic dubstep. Electus is young and mature beyond his years, a producer that will definitely be added to my playlists and many others through 2013.

My apologies for the hiatus. We’re back however, with a tune that features euphoric beats, and intelligent design. Rameses B is a diverse and colorful musical creator coming to us from Leads, England. With a degree in Creative Music and Music Technology Rameses has mastered the tools of his trade. In his track “Drift Away” he is able to artfully incorporate beauteous vocals by Veela to create a fluid sense of rhythm and a dynamic emotional appeal. While intricate it encourages the masses to get up and move. There is surely more to come from Rameses B.

B-Complex: Raindrops

B-Complex offers cerebral tracks thy may not be appealing to the vast majority. His tracks don’t offer heavy baselines or wobbles to keep your attention, they are however crafted diligently. “Raindrops” is the premier example of what B-Complex is capable of. He very well might be the best Dj you’ve never heard of.
