Tiësto’s imprint Musical Freedom releases its first trap release
Trap is a current phenomenon taking dance music to an entirely new level. Coincidentally, the sub genre has become a favorite of Sun City Music Festival act Tiësto who has been dropping some trap in his sets this past year. Looks like Tiësto is ready to run the trap, and if that didn’t convince you, his imprint Musical Freedom Records unleashed it’s first trap release this past Tuesday, July 30th.
The Trap Remix EP isn’t just a collection of random trap tracks. It’s a compilation of his favorite trap remixes of Musical Freedom releases. Sun City acts Dimitri Vegas, Like Mike and GTA both start off the release with a trap re-rub of their track “Turn It Up” featuring Wolfpack from Swedish newcomers Pelari. Next is Chicago’s Luminox whose remix of Sandro Silva and Quintino’s “Epic,” keep the signature melody while reworking the bass and percussion. Recently featured on Tiësto’s Club Life Stockholm, Tiësto and DJ Punish’s “Shocker” is next on the EP and is remixed by Washington, DC-based DJ Basscamp. Closing out the release is New Jersey talent Ethyr who traps up R3hab and ZROQ’s “Skydrop” into some swift kicks.
Dillon Francis gives the world a preview of ‘Without You’
Recently, the crowned prince of moombahton Dillon Francis, has been showing the world his softer side. First, his “Flight 4555” video, and now with his forthcoming single “Without You.” The cat, ninja, and taco enthusiast has enlisted the help of Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, taking a detour from the heavy drops he’s most known for. Get used to this side of Dillon too. This is the direction his forthcoming album is growing to. The Dillon camp reports, “Dillon has gone the route of subtle and infectious on this one, reflecting the expansive growth of sound that he has cultivated in the process of recording his coming full length debut.”
On the preview posted on his Soundcloud, Dillon shared this in the comment section, “This song is very meaningful to me because as Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs and I were working on the song I was having relationship problems of my own. He ended up writing the song about the whole situation I was going through.” “Without You” will be out via Mad Decent August 6th.
