After DAKTYL, Mr. Kodak To Graph came on and was the whole reason I was at Crescent Ballroom in the first place. With a more personal setting I knew Kodak would deliver a more intimate performance.
His whole set had me in a trance. Not as much dancing as much as good vibes, but his music makes you feel. Dig a little bit deeper in your soul, release your fears and open you heart.
Kodak did his thing but the energy was building for Slow Magic and what would be my first live viewing. All the masks and face-paint in the crowd was a beautiful sight but it wasn’t until Slow Magic came out wearing this humongous lit up mask that I understood why. His mask is three to five times as big as your average mask and it changes colors and rhythms depending on the song.
Slow Magic knows how to control the room as he uses his epic wailing bass so the room never goes quiet. After overcoming a little technical difficulty Slow Magic took over and the crowd was lit up.

He started slow and vibey, but once he dropped ‘Girls’ his backdrop lit up as bright as could be and you could see everyone in the crowd literally put there hands up and shaking their hips. Inhibitions gone, it became one big dance party filled with smiles and happiness.

‘On Yr Side’ best encapsulated Slow Magic’s drum precision as he wailed away to the eerie banger. Setting the mood with his beats, his drumming is like a caveman banging away to the night sky.
Not only did Slow Magic put on a performance but he put on a show for the crowd. DAKTYL and Kodak To Graph were nice starters but Slow Magic is a must see if you haven’t had the pleasure of a live viewing. Between his original sound, the drums and the mask your getting the full one of a kind experience.

Coming off of Beyonce’s big VMA performance, The Hood Internet has brought us ‘DiviXO’ a mashup of her ‘XO’ single and Porter Robinson‘s epic electronic opus ‘Divinity’.

This is one of those mash ups that blends perfect even if they have different emotional feels. Opposites must attract because Robinson’s aggressive guitar intro goes perfect with Bey’s soft serenade “Your love is bright as ever”. This is a slow jam on steroids. Beyonce’s part is a love serenade demanding her lover to stop wasting time. Where Porter takes us on a soul searching journey at light speed. The dynamic breakdown of beats by Porter is used by The Hood Internet to take Beyonce’s love lust anthem to that next level, to feel a little bit more like an addicted lover craving more.

The Hood Internet continues on their recent trend of using more R&B in their mash-ups by featuring the red hot Beyonce coming of her Video Vanguard win and performance.

Although, it’s the addition of Robinson’s epic electro guitar and heavenly keys that delivers all of Beyonce’s loving hugs and kisses.

The best seems to come out in both artist on this remix. A trend The Hood Internet seems to have perfected over the course of 8 mixtapes and counting. The Hood Internet makes a love track like ‘XO’ cool to listen to for someone whose looking bob their head and remain calm, cool, and collected.

As a true hip-hop connoisseur, I love Alex Wiley‘s introduction into the hip hop game. He brings a refreshing sound to an already booming scene out in Chicago.

Chicago’s popping off right now, with artists such as Chief Keef, Sir Michael Rocks,  and Chance the Rapper hitting the big time. It’s a perfect place for a budding beat man like Wiley.
Wiley’s sophomore album just dropped it’s second single called ‘Vibration’ a few months ago, which proves Wiley’s come to play with the big dogs. The soul empowering track that has a Chance the Rapper sound to it with Wiley’s “I dont give a fuck attitude.”

Wiley’s street sounds and soulful keys go well with his boastful approach to the soulful track. It makes for an uplifting, I’m my own man and I do what I do, and I don’t care what you have to say about it track.

Now enter HONEST and his straight feel good, happy-vibed more EDM based sound. HONEST Remixed Wiley’s ‘Vibrations’ today into a sun setting beach banger. If it doesn’t get you on your feet dancing, you just need to release your mind and imagine the beach harder.

I turned my volume to the max as those dancey piano keys start jumping and I start dancing right there in my kitchen. Dear god, then Wiley’s vocals hit with HONEST’s xylophones behind him. The remix has me chanting and feeling like i’m on top of the world. Something HONEST tracks tend to do to me with their upbeat happy energy.

I give Wiley a ton of credit, but HONEST’s total transformation of ‘Vibrations’ is just as respected in my eyes. I love that both tracks put you in completely different moods but both execute said moods perfectly. I feel braggy and boastful with Wiley and HONEST has me dancing with my feet in the sand.
