DVAS "Questions" Remixes from Adam K, Enton Mushi and James Bradshaw Now Available On iTunes

Wed, 09 May 2012 15:18:00 GMT

After an exclusive run on Beatport and holding down the #39 spot on the Prog Top 100, DVAS "Questions" Remixes by Adam K, Enton Mushi Music, and James Bradshaw is now available on iTunes.

Fresh off his monster track "Tomahawk" alongside BT and out on Armin Van Buuren's Armind imprint, ADAM K drops a serious bomb with a tough main room prog stormer. After a brief hiatus, Hotbox Digital returns with an absolute monster of a track that showcases our very own DVAS “Questions” getting the royal remix treatment.

This mix has been getting serious heat from Adam's SiriusXM Radio show, and Podcast, as well as in his live sets.

Also included on the trance tip from Toronto's rising talent Enton Mushi who brings a driving, melodic remix that layers the lush vocal over rolling percussion and smooth chord progressions.

Lastly, 2 time Juno award winner James Bradshaw gives us a more chilled out, luscious club mix perfect for early night grooves or terrace vibes that brilliantly showcases DVAS' rich vocals over moody, memorable synths.

Check out a preview of Adam K's mix on YouTube

Get it now at iTunes.

Cadence Weapon Hope in Dirt City

Mon, 12 Mar 2012 02:14:00 GMT

Cadence Weapon continues to firmly establish his legacy as a sonic pioneer while constantly pushing the rap and electronic music envelope. Following his critically acclaimed, Polaris Music Prize nominated albums Breaking Kayfabe and Afterparty Babies and a two-year term as Edmonton’s Poet Laureate, he returns with his new album “Hope In Dirt City” this Spring. A clearly defined and emotionally mature statement of intent, “Hope In Dirt City” represents the culmination of these experiences. Composed of a unique hybrid of psychedelic soul, old school rap, IDM and mutant disco, "Hope In Dirt City" is a ground-breaking achievement in hip-hop. Cadence Weapon has returned to bring rap back to its essence

Stream or Download new track ’88 (prod. Grimes) here

“Erstwhile poet laureate and current purveyor of the shortest, most balling-est homage to hip-hop we’ve heard this year” RCRD LBL

“Cadence Weapon has always sought to be ahead of the game, making prominent use of electronic producers at a time when hip hop seems largely caught in a form of aesthetic stasis.” CLASH MUSIC

Stream or Download ‘Loft Party’ here

“f**king hot stuff! glad to see you’ve stayed to your own original style after all these years” Fan on Soundcloud

“Any other rappers out there using "prorogue"? Another gem” Montreal Gazette
