Hip Hop / R&B Recommendations September 2015

Review: Culled from last year's debut album Trust, this remix collection comes from artists that 18+ respect and occasionally collaborate with. Suicideyear's take on "Cake" is a dreamy, entrancing affair, with haunting electronic melodies and half-heard vocals set to push the listener into a trance. It's followed by the huge bass drops and dissected vocals of Mr Mitch's 'Light's Off' take on "Nectar", which pulls the track into melodic, atmospheric territory. The remix of "OIXU" from Principe act Tia Maria Producoes is in a similar vein thanks to its massive subs. Birds cawing, clicking thumb percussion and techno bleeps comprise the closing Audri Nix's reshape of "Crow".
