The year is drawing to a close. 2014 has blessed us with so many big tunes, we’re guessing you’d have a hard time picking your favorites. Why don’t you just kick back and enjoy the Selection of Crispy Crust‘s Drunken Masters instead?
Straight out of the brick city comes this energizing remix by DJ Sliink who took Nxwxrk, the homage to New Jersey by fellow Newarkian Nadus, and thumped it up a notch. Listen to the original after the jump.
Jack Ü, the supergroup consisting of Diplo and Skrillex, made a fair year-end statement with the release of Take Ü There feat. Kiesza. Now the Drunken Masters & Ben Esser, both calling Crispy Crust Records their cosy home, have cooked up this exciting remix.
The original Tell Me by RL Grime and What So Not was already mighty powerful with its chilled-out intro and the heavy brass section after the drop, designed to crush the air out of your lungs. This Baauer Edit, though, will blow your face off. Attentioooooooon!
A fine collaboration between ZHU and Goldlink. The two mystery men unite on this beautifully swanky sequel to ZHU‘s Paradise Awaits. On Part 2 Goldlink‘s immaculate flow is topped off by ZHU‘s mesmerizing falsetto. And there’s homage rendered to Sisqo’s Thong Song (which arguably is one of the greatest songs of all time).
Diplo welcomes indie luminaries Ed Droste (Grizzly Bear) and Rostam Batmanglij (Vampire Weekend) on this smooth joint called Long Way Home. It’s the perfect tune to leisurely float into the weekend.
These Canadians surely know how to import the spaciest sounds straight from the future and let them clash with good old down-to-earth bass. Check out this new beast by Fool’s Gold’s High Klassified: Biesta. This thing wobbles so goddamn hard, it almost swept us off our feet.
Listen to how easily Trippy Turtle takes the rigor out of O.T. Genasis‘ Coco or the corniness out of Drake‘s Hold On Were Going Home on his brand new joint, Fo Fo.
Kaytranada boasted quite an affluent output this year. In fact, the only way to not have heard of the Montreal based producer in 2014 was, if you were floating around space, where the vacuum would have prevented sound waves from traveling. Check out this mellow remix of T.I.‘s and Young Thug‘s About Da $.
Wanna go brainless and not feel bad about it? Here’s your anthem for the week: Donkong‘s Jawz with hilarious but somewhat unsettling visuals by German director Mike Linde.
