What So Not - Jaguar

Perhaps Sonny Moore, more commonly known as Skrillex, has been so quiet on the production front solely because he has been putting extensive effort into curating new talent for his killer label OWSLA. That is what appears to be the case when you review the his crop of fresh talent both young and old. "Jaguar" by What So Not is what we at SYNTH consider one of the best releases from the label to date. What So Not defies genre in countless ways with their "future bass" sound that sucks you in with soaring vocal highs only to crumble into a vicious trap breakdown that leaves no octave of sub bass untouched. And if the track wasn't enough of an experience, they also have an incredible music video to accompany their monster track. If you enjoy this track, which we ensure you will, make sure you check out the rest of their catalog. What So Not is definitely an artist to keep an ear on, they are truly massive.

Betoko had quite a few releases leading into the new year and he starts 2014 off with a big two track EP.  Dropping today on Suara, the experienced producer gives us the perfect mix of deep and tech house.  "Dance On My Feet" is absolutely one of the strongest tracks we've heard in a while.  Melodic arpeggiated rhythms accompanied by an incredible bassline lead you right into the heart of the song.  Catchy vocal chops accent the track until the full vocals finally kick in for one masterpiece of a tune we'll be jamming to for quite some time.  The B-Side "U R My Sunshine" should not be overlooked either, spend some time with these two and you won't regret it.
