If you thought the name of everybody’s lips was Oshi before, well it just got slightly more cray.Young 16 y/o oshi is back with two new heaters, and per usual always keeping everyone on their toes with unique forward thinking production. Already in 20k soundcloud followers in a few short, what feels like weeks, he’s now coming in hot with a fresh new take on Soulection’s rising star Sam Gellaitry’s track, “to earth and back.” Amazingly enough, his remix is almost passing the originals traction *cue gasp for air.*As well, he also dropped a fresh new original titled ‘Mustard,’ as an ode to the iconic beatmaker.

Eric Sharp takes the tune in a brighter, more upbeat …

G, Killah Priest, Guilty Simpson, Kev Brown, LMNO, Tragic Allies and many others with all production (and some of the scratching as well) being handled by Flip himself.

Odesza – All We Need (Haywyre Remix)
Vancouver’s Haywyre just capped off his prosperous nine date Two Fold Tour, and he is feeling generous as he just released his free remix of Odesza’s “All We Need” as a thank you to his fans. Over the years, he’s showcased an eclectic style that draws from all corners of music, while keeping a strong hold on the electronic music of today and tomorrow. Haywyre’s “All I Need” remix is a perfect example of this as he merges soul and funk with a modern dance music touch, using a 4/4 beat as a backbone for his impressive production and musicianship.

Anyhow as with his Hitek vs Madlib mix DJ Skandal & DJ Ameldabee shine light upon two producers with contrasting styles. Although I love Erick Sermon’s production I have say Large Professor boom bap style is my cup of tea.
