David Heyerman, a.k.a. HOHME, is slowly climbing the hype machine charts with his new dance mix “Love Collision”, this time including the sounds of Florence and the Machine, Afrojack, Leona Lewis, and Mark Knight. He’s also got a pretty interesting take of Avicii’s “Levels.” I wouldn’t be surprised if this kid is the next of the wave of mash up artists to blow up, check out his sound cloud for more.
Are you an up and coming rapper who needs a smash hit? There’s a very short list of people you can call for a feature to make sure of it, but I would include Ricky Rozay in that category. Here he’s featured on Stalley’s “Lincoln Way Nights,” the title track to his upcoming album dropping November 8th. Stalley has been gaining more recognition since his cypher on the BET awards with the likes of Wale, Meek Mill, and even the bawse himself. I still think he should cut that stupid f*%&ing beard.

“Ticket to the Sky” was actually posted to Fadi’s Soundcloud close to a year ago, however the track actually just started picking up traction on the Hype Machine within the past few days. In trying to research this guy, there’s not really a whole lot to go off of online except for the fact that he’s from Budapest, Hungary… pretty bad ass if you ask me. In checking out his page, I’ve found a whole boat load of stuff that is ready for to make its way to the club. Check it out

Madeon first started getting attention when he released his remix of Deadmau5’s “Raise Your Weapon” back earlier this year. He later began to get recognition around the globe with his YouTube sensation “Pop Culture” in which he sucessfully mashed up 39 of his favorite songs on the fly. Here is a preview (full version to come) to his brand new original, “Icarus,” showcasing his production genius… and the kid is only 17 years old!

XV has been blowing over the past few months, even though he’s been releasing mixtapes since back in 2006. For this one he teamed up with dubstep king, Skrillex, who recently just had a show in Buffalo at The Town Ballroom.

The Fray just released their new single off their upcoming album, Scars & Stories, set to be released in February of 2012. It seem to include that classic Fray formula that has worked for them so well for them for the past few years. Let us know what you think…
Scotland’s next big export is a quartet that go by the name, We Were Promised Jetpacks. I feel like they bring a sort of freshness to the indie scene. Their first single, “Act on Impulse,” is more of a melancholy jam session, where the vocals take a back seat to the driving drum beat and passenger-side guitars. With that said, this one makes me want to just get in the car and drive… down the California coast perhaps?

This just in! Here’s a brand new track from K-OS which actually serves as follow up to one of his more popular songs off his 2010 mixtape, Anchorman. This time, he is joined fellow Canadian, Drake, to add a little swag (and with no autotune!). Look for Drizzy’s new album, Take Care, dropping later this month.
