UZ has been dropping tracks pretty consistently in recent times. He has always been well known for his creative trap sounding releases. From his explosion on to the scene back in 2012, UZ was always impressive with genre-defining trap classics. His newest track ‘Fire’ allows him to demonstrate more of his hip hop production skills. This collaboration is a perfect blend of both their skills as UZ’s last hip hop track racked up nearly 4 million streams on Spotify alone. ‘Fire’ presents a playful melody produced by UZ to which SoloSam spits his bars to.

UZ has began to tour the world with upcoming dates in China, Germany France, and Australia. You can check out his latest track with SoloSam called ‘Fire’ below now and be sure to look out for him visiting a town near you!

Released on his own record label, Quality Goods Music, UZ has just put out a brand new single called ‘Bang Bang’. The track is a just one of many that will be coming out on his brand new album releasing next week called UZ’s Real Trap Samples Vol. 2. In addition to dropping the new track, UZ also accompanied the release with the official music video as well. In the music video, you can spot UZ himself turning back time and scratching those old school turntables. Being a pioneer of trap music, it is no surprise that ‘Bang Bang’ presents the dirty sounding drops and headbanging vibes that we all love in current day trap. You can expect some more of these dirty trap sounds in his upcoming album which is set to release on September 2nd. For now, check out UZ’s ‘Bang Bang’ music video below.

Tascione – Smoke & Mirrors EP

Tascione first reached our radar when he dropped an absolute bomb titled “Real Street” alongside Texas wonderboy Prismo on NYC imprint Uprise Music. Ever since then, the 2 have been climbing and climbing. This week Tascione returned on UZ’s newly launched label “Quality Good Records” with an stunning EP called “Smoke and Mirrors,” a nonstop roller coaster ride of high energy bass music. Tascione (pronounced TA-SEE-OWN) sets the vibe proper in the intro for Ian Everson to lay down some seriously sweet vocals and then that grimey lead synth jumps in. The perfect drop is one that leaves you stunned by what you’re hearing and Tascione has delivered just that. Big up!

Lookas – Voyager

Miami trap king, Lookas, is at it again with the release of a new shell-shocker. The track epitomizes the term “festival banger” and shows Lookas’ musical reach with versatile trap production that withholds flowing rhythm. Dubbed “Voyager”, the space-themed anthem opens with dark and ominous sounding church bells, which is quickly joined by the classic trap beat. The song builds thanks to rapidly firing marching band drums before the words “we have lift off” send the song into a ferocious sequence. As screeching synths and heavy bass flood the track, the drop bears similarity to dubstep influenced sounds, and repeats three(!!) times. Holding the track true to trap form, UZ’s infamous “what is this?” sample is piped in randomly throughout the entirety of the song.

The accompanying video maintains the track’s space theme and provides mesmerizing visuals that mirror the song’s massive trap beats. Watch it below and enter the world of Lookas.

UZ Feat. 12th Planet – Trap Shit V21 (Stooki Sound Remix)

There comes a point in time that when a DJ releases new music, you have no choice but to listen, and that is exactly where UZ has arrived after years of hard work. Developing his iconic Trap Shit series, it came as a massive surprise when he skipped from what was supposed to be Volume 21, straight to Volume 24. Well the wait is over and Trap Shit Volume 21 has officially been released as an EP. Featuring the likes of 12th Planet and remixes from Stooki Sound, Awe, and Om Unit, this is one hell of a release.

The remix that stood out to us comes from emerging star duo Stooki Sound. The British duo takes this insane original and throws down a more minimal remix, approaching it from the right angles. The entire EP can be found below, and we leave it up to you, to find your favorite new tune on Trap Shit Volume 21.

Golden-masked, trap man of mystery, ƱZ, is arguably one of the most mysterious electronic acts since Daft Punk. In a profession that has become overrun with egos, big names and a bigger thirst for attention, ƱZ prefers to conduct business under an air tight alias, and lets the music speak for itself. With an impenetrable persona and firm grasp on the art of trap simplicity, ƱZ has released music with labels like Mad Decent, Mau5trap, OWSLA, SMOG Records and Fool’s Gold; and with huge support from producers like Diplo, Flosstradamus, Skrillex and Baauer, he continues to perfect his unique, underground trap sound while remaining an unknown figure in the scene.

As a trap artist, ƱZ has already proven himself to be a master of catchy simplicity, as his productions continually boast interesting synths, hard hitting drum beats, complex hi-hat patterns and smart vocal samples. To add to his already stellar production catalogue, ƱZ just released the newest installment from his ŤɌ∆Ҏ ᶊῌῗ† series, via All Trap Music’s digital Flames EP release. ƱZ’s ‘Trap Shit V24‘ is a banger fit for a more instrumental & minimal club scene, as it is gritty and raw, but with a laid back tempo. This refreshing take on the simplistic club vibe showcases some of ƱZ’s best instrumental trap work and gives listeners a chance to slow down without losing momentum.

Check out ƱZ’s ‘Trap Shit V24’ below, buy it here, and check out the rest of All Trap Music’s Flames EP, featuring hot new tracks from ƱZ, Buku, 8Er$ x Mala Noche and CAPSUN here.

The Music

Let’s get down to brass tacks. One of the major appeals of this unique festival tour was the powerhouse line-up, and as an attendee at the Albany, New York stop on the tour, I can confidently say the experience lived up to its hype. The opening combination of renowned crowd-smashers, Terravita, and mysterious trap lord, UZ, had no trouble turning up the crowd, giving the headliners more than a warm welcome.

The System

Besides the earth-shaking lineup that Safe in Sound boasted, the festival tour also wielded arguably one of the most powerful sound systems on tour. Packing heat with over 150,000 watts of sound, there was no better way to enjoy the cacophony of bass sounds than with the PK Sound System. As an attendee, I can attest to the sheer power of the system, as there was not a single moment when the ground was not shaking, and bodies were not vibrating. Just imagine hearing your favorite bass tunes on a system of this proportion; awesome right? With my ears still buzzing the day after, I can safely say PK Sound is no joke.

The Experience

Although I only attended one stop on the festival tour, believe me when I say, Safe in Sound has the exhilarating bass experience down to a tee. Like any other  bass-head, there are a few places I would rather be than a sultry venue filled to the brim with my fellow sweaty, head-banging ravers, engulfed in beautiful sound. Along with the sound, the visual accompaniment and near-seizure-inducing lighting were flawless, and created a thrilling audio-visual experience for everyone in attendance. To wrap up, my experience at Safe in Sound was extremely positive, and I would venture to say the festival tour as a whole was a booming success. I look forward to seeing the bass festival’s continued success in the coming years.

EDMTunes Interview: Flux Pavillion

I also had the privilege of picking the brain of dub-star Flux Pavillion on topics ranging from his growth as a producer to his stance on some hot button issues. Check out the interview below:

Looking at your growth from your early works, Cheap Crisps (2008) and the Boom EP with Datsik/Excision, to your present day tracks, how would you describe the evolution of your sound, and where do you weigh in on the trending issue of sound homogenization amongst artists?

I think for an artist to write one sound for the entirety of his career can be counter productive. I love everything I write but you have to keep it interesting for yourself otherwise your music sounds like you are bored. The best way to describe Flux Pavilion is epic.

You’ve experimented quite a bit with moombahcore, what draws you to that particular sound and do you see yourself diving deeper into it moving forward?

I can say that I intend to make more music that captures the energy of my previous stuff. I want to write music that makes people lose themselves and become a part of the moment they are experiencing. Music that makes you feel awesome. 

Hearing your Star Wars Rebels Theme Remix live was one of the wildest musical displays I’ve ever seen, can you explain how you got involved with the newest Lucas films and Disney animated series?

I’m a huge fan of science fiction and fantasy, so to have an opportunity to get involved with one of the greats was something I couldn’t help but jump at. I was stuck with a small catch 22 though. I worked out that whatever I did was gonna piss someone off, so I decided to make the most outrageous and unashamedly ridiculous thing I could, I figure, why try and make the remix everyone wants me to make, I wanna make the remix that no one would expect, the one that I would wanna hear. I jumped around lots whilst writing it. Fun fact: I made the kick drum out of a filtered 808 and a lightsaber swoop.

A hot topic amongst the electronic dance music community has been the homogenization of sound. Where do you weigh in on this issue? We saw that you took to Facebook last week to address the ‘haters’ who chooses to blab about a track without even giving it a chance or listening to it.

Some people are always gonna make the same old crap. Has there been a time where this hasn’t happened? As long as I continue to try out some new ideas then everything is gonna be cool. With my new record I’m kinda trying to write feelings rather than sounds. I’m trying to translate how my favourite music makes me feel rather than copy how it sounds. It’s coming together pretty well.

Mad Decent keeps grabbing up all kinds of crazy new talent, with their latest find coming in the form of a gritty electro house producer, Aazar. The Frenchman has already gathered support from Skrillex, UZ, Alesia, and fellow French native, DJ Snake. His debut release, ‘Rundat‘, recently dropped, and it’s already making some pretty big waves.

Make no mistake, ‘Rundat’ is intense, and that’s what Aazar’s style aims to be: intensity epitomized. This in-you-face bass bumping track doesn’t let up. The drumline is snappy, the synth lead is sharp, and the bass packs a punch; ‘Rundat’ definitely fits the Mad Decent sound, and we’re sure Aazar is going to pick up some traction with it. Check it out below, and if you’re into it, hit up the free DL.

BUY TICKETS: GA TICKETS

The big gunna is in town! If you’re in LA this Friday, I strongly recommend that you come out to see the enigmatic trap ambassador UZ at Hollywood’s Avalon Night Club. Aside from Flosstradamus, UZ may be the biggest trap producers in the bass music scene. I’ve had the pleasure of catching UZ for the first time at EDC Las Vegas this year. And quite frankly, it was hands down, the best trap set I’ve ever experience thus far. He is locked & loaded with a heavy artillery of bass bangers, it’s no wonder he has risen to top in such a short amount of time. He definitely knows how to throw it down and twerk the the crowd. Along side with him that evening will be Protohype of Firepower Records, Photek, Kelly Dean, Khemek. An evening jam pack with bass that’ll have you dancing til dawn. Don’t delay, come out and play this Friday at Avalon, Hollywood and getcha your swerve on. Check out his latest installment of “Trap Shit 14” below. I swear everything he produces or touches is straight fire.

The enigmatic producer’s scattering staccato drums and chopped up vocals have garnered him a very loyal online fan base. Which has led to being picked up by notable labels such as Mad Decent, Boys Noize Records and Smog amongst others over the past year. The steady release of new ‘Trap Shit’ additions shows no sign of slowing down, while UZ will be bringing his live set to America’s Tomorrowland offshoot, Tomorrowworld, in September 2013.
