Lovelier Other - Leave This Behind

Late last year the indie/chillwave artists Lovelier Other quietly released their debut track onto the internet. The dreamy and densely layered 'Leave this Behind' quickly stirred up quite a bit of hype. Now to kick of 2013 Lovelier Other is ready to step out of the shadows and give listeners what they want. The band is giving away their latest release, 'Leave This Behind',a synth laden, chilled out track, that despite suffering from a rather brutal master, is sure to whip up interest and excitement...

Applebottom - Let You (Warren Xclnce Re-Edit)

 Though we're still waiting in agony for his forthcoming EP, London's Warren Xclnce has dropped just enough to give us our fix with his re-edit of Applebottom's 'Let You'. Warren's familiar style flows throughout as the track takes a new mellow direction, powered on by a shuffling beat and permeated by peaking vocal samples and contrasting dark spacious tones, colouring the whole track a kind of bittersweet, rose-tinted grey. It's the kind of track that fades into the background, but rather...

Hackman & Klic - Do Right

 Let's face it, seeing Hackman's name next to any tune is enough to get us excited, but a FREE tune on top of that....well it doesn't much better than that. In a collaborative effort with fellow UK housesmith Klic (a.k.a. Medlar), Hackman has dropped 'Do Right', an ode to everything we love about House music; melodic chords, sumptuous bass, 4 to the floor kicks and of course chopped-up vocal hooks. While we're still waiting for a proper full-length album from the guy, this track is more than...

Lion Babe - Treat Me Like Fire (Star Slinger Bootleg Mix)

Manchester's Star Slinger has been killing it left and right lately but, it's been a bittersweet age since he last dropped a nice unofficial bootleg. It was worth the wait however for his refix of Lion Babe's 'Treat Me Like Fire'. The soulful vocals will grab you at first, but it's that infectious 2step beat that get you vibing all over the place.

Shift K3Y - What We Had

Annie Mac almost never steers me wrong when it comes to exciting new music, so I always expect big things from her FREE Music Mondays. However, despite already high expectations I was still floored by this track from London newcomer Shift K3y. 'What We Had' is an extremely well produced, sexy as hell, bass ridden number that straddles that fine line between what the kids are calling Post-Dubstep and Future Garage. As the first release from his forthcoming Froze EP, this track is a really...

Bailey - Other Gurl (Original Mix)

Brighton's Bailey just dropped another fine ass track our way and you lot should know what that means by now.....'Other Gurl' is a straight up House groove that follows that Bailey formula; vibrant bass, deep melodies and some JT vocal samples for good measure. It's more of the same, but we're loving it. As always its a FREE download so be sure to grab it here. WANT MORE? Then follow The HotBox on Facebook and Twit...

Mackai & Maxx Baer - Got Swag/Magnet

The Trap game just forced it's way into the mainstream with Baauer's 'Harlem Shake' blowing up everywhere (remember when it was a FREE download? We sure do). It's hard to say how long this ride's gonna last and I still haven't decided if Trap is the greatest thing ever or just falls past the mark in books....nevertheless there's no two guys rocking the scene harder and with more swag right now than Sydney's Mackai & Bristol's Maxx Baer.  The duo's collabs keep coming...

Polkadot - Somateria

Long time readers will know we've been following Wolverhampton producer Sam Bevan's aka Polkadot for a while now on his gradual rise to the top of the electronic music scene .  Well it seems the young producer is finally getting all the attention he deserves, recieving support from Radio 1's Mistajam for his remix of AZ&TOR's 'Resend', and scoring airplay on Diplo's show with his original tune 'Wasn't Like That'. His latest release 'Somateria' weaves a sultry vocal sample in and...

Gee - Macho Hetero (Instrumental Dub)

Unfortunately the site has been having some problems with posts disappearing and perma-links changing, presumably down to the busy bodies at Google's Blogger being completely useless (I'd love to host this somewhere else, anywhere else...help out and buy a T-shirt). Let's hope all the blog is back to normal soon.....In the meantime here's some deep dark dubstep from Estonia's Gee.  'Macho Hetero' was originally released as part of  the "Higha Collection 7", but this instrumental version...

Qtier - The Still EP

Somehow we're already into the second month of 2013, so it's about time for a debut indie release, coming in the form of three piece Qtier and 'The Still' EP. With a mellow blend of soft layered synths and hushed leading vocals, the London based band's sound could be described as what might have happened if a less pop driven Mansions On The Moon had formed in somewhere in Shoreditch and collaborated with The XX. Not that their music isn't accessible, in fact the multiple layers of melodic...
