STFU on Diplo and Friends

I've been supporting Zak and Alex (aka STFU) both on this blog and on Bump In The Hump, and while a play on my radio show is something, it does not compare to getting a guest mix on Diplo and Friends. The dynamic duo have just uploaded their April mix to their soundcloud for streaming anytime. It's no wonder Get Right Records (who STFU's "Find That Girl" was released under) reposted and led me to the mix, because STFU is delivering some of the most twerk worthy music available at the moment. Of course Get Right Records is headed by Benzi, who is half of TWRK, and if you're like me, you've been waiting for another one of their incredible, exclusive-laden mixes, STFU have filled that void.

According to 1001 Tracklists, they've filled their hour slot with a mind-blowing 54 tracks. This shows off not just their incredible taste, with tracks ranging from Boombox Cartel to Bruno Mars, but to jam all that action in that span shows serious skill in mixing. While we could be satisfied to stare in awe of the above, the best part of this mix is the insight into all of the productions Zak and Alex currently have in their collection. An astounding 31/54 tracks are credited to STFU. Whether it's one of their killer crafted mashups, exclusive remixes, forthcoming originals or even their cover of "Closer," there's no doubt this is their coming out party.

Soon enough you won't be able to go to any club or listen to any mix without having STFU slap you in the face. I for one know I'll be coming back to this mix with frequency, at least until more of their originals are released, but even after to bask in their brilliant and blazing fast mixing skills.

KUGA & RTYBTZ - Control

This past Friday, Get Right Records bid adieu to March by dropping brilliant future bass track, "Control." Backed by Benzi you had to know it was going to be a quality cut and not just another run of the mill release. In fact, just yesterday a Twitter account @skysooshi called Benzi's Girl Trapz series (of which both KUGA and RTYBTZ are a part) "an ark of hope in a flood of crappy futurebass." And for me this is exactly what I like about Girl Trapz. KUGA and RTYBTZ have crafted a shiny, anthemic groove with uber cute vocals that play perfectly with the brilliant bounding bass in the drop. And while the whole track boasts skillful sound design, what makes "Control" a truly great production are the little punctuating effects in the drop (water droplets, camera shutters, etc). No news yet on a Girl Trapz 12, but you can bet this one makes an appearance on that "ark of hope." Enjoy it now below! FOLLOW KUGA: FACEBOOK SOUNDCLOUD TWITTER
