Emile Haynie feat. Andrew Wyatt & Brian Wilson – “Falling Apart” [Official Video]

Posted on:

Prodigious pop producer du jour Emile Haynie delivers a good-trip-gone-wrong visual for the new single “Falling Apart” off his recently released solo debut We Fall LP. The number begins with a lovely string arrangement, mutating from heartbreaking balladry to big, boisterous anthem at about the halfway mark with an influx of piano-ey touches, Andrew Wyatt‘s silk croon (which can also be found prominently featured on Mark Ronson‘s Uptown Special) and the always graceful Beach Boys founder Brian Wilson manning the floaty ooohhhs and aahhhs in the back. If this is your first taste of the pysche-pop goodies Haynie’s been churning out …

LargeUp Premiere: Hear Electric Punanny + Chi Ching Ching Flip Nicki Minaj On “Hot Gyal”

Posted on:

The week’s hottest release isn’t the new Kanye West, that buzzy Jaden Smith joint, or even Raury‘s cinematic social commentary. It is, in fact, a brand new Nicki Minaj flip, handled by New York DJs Electric Punanny and premiered by the good heads at LargeUp earlier today. With the help of dancehall entertainer Chi Ching Ching, Puanny has gone and flipped Minaj’s “Trini Dem Girls,” seizing on its existing rude dancehall qualities and pumping it up a certified basement banger, which they’ve dubbed “Hot Gyal.” Allow LargeUp to explain: The remix comes after Chi Ching Ching and Electric Punanny joined forces for an unplanned session at Webster Hall’s House Party weekly, during the deejay’s visit to New…

A.Chal “GAZI”

Posted on:

I was a little worried that NY/LA producer/artist, A.Chal, was just teasing a return with the recent release of his Gotham Mix Vol.2, only to return to hiding for the next two years. Lucky for us all, that’s not the case. The highlight of the aforementioned mix was undoubtedly the closing track, and A.Chal just released the full version – just as dope as I thought it would be. Listen to the Count Justice co-produced joint, “GAZI.” The moody and self-reflective record details the reality of living on the blurred line between ‘making it happen’ and ‘faking it ’til you make it.’ Let’s hope an announcement for a new project from Chal is coming…

After dropping a very dance heavy cut with Vic Mensa a few weeks ago, SaveMoney representative, Towkio, makes his return with “Free Your Mind.” Towkio turns the funk all the way up for this one and brings along Donnie Trumpet and The Social Experiment for the help-out (with production from Camo’bi). Says Towkio of the song: “This record was made over a year ago… When you create the right emotion the work becomes timeless. I’m just trying to make timeless music.” Look for Towkio’s .Wav Theory tape to drop in April. The post Towkio “Free Your Mind” feat. Donnie Trumpet & The Social Experiment
