Welcome to Episode 18! This week we share new music from prior Artists We're Watching, Trip Trop and Koos. BOY are these releases fire! We also covered new music from Synymata, Arty, Kygo, and Sam Feldt. Delving into the world of EDM, Alec discusses his awesome experience seeing Noizu in San Francisco, Soundcloud's integration with Traktor, Hakkasan Las Vegas's new lighting set-up, the viral fake news hoax about potential Madeon collabs, and much more! For the What We're Listening to section we reviewed Dog Blood's new EP and Madeon's new single (hint: positive reviews all around). Shoutout to the Artists We're Watching this week - Gurf and NuBass. It's a nice mix between trap (Gurf) and UK Bass/Bassline (NuBass). Expect BIG things from these two this year. And as always, THANK YOU for tuning in. We really appreciate all the support and love.
