Hip-Hop and Trap crossover sounds seem to predominate in ShoTunez‘s dope album, ‘The Pif Trap’. He is part of the growing lists of artists who support lifting cannabis prohibition in the world. Indeed, he got popular thanks to the track, “i smoke weed”, released back in 2014. Influenced by Hempfest, a free speech event in Seattle that advocates the decriminalization of marijuana, ShoTunez isn’t afraid to use art to raise his voice in protest.

Nowadays, the Orlando-based Hip-Hop lyricist and producer returns to enhance once again the magic plant’s properties with a 10-track material. For sure, the great combination of dark electronic rhythms + clever rhymes generates laid-back yet easily danceable songs. Not to mention, the glitchy SFX work which surround this project sets the ideal tone for the mind-expanding process. Overall, a perfect balance between complex and simple sonic elements.

Discover Spanish Trap music produced by C. Tangana! Trust me, “Yelo” deserves your total attention. Perhaps, this creative dude is better known in the industry as Rosalia’s former boyfriend, but he’s also the mastermind behind her Latin urban hit “Con Altura”, which won a Grammy last year. If you like Travis Scott or American Trap in general, then, “Yelo” is ideal for your ears. He fuses electronic music elements and lyrics reflect the gangster’s lifestyle on the subject of fancy jewelry. It is worth stressing that C. Tangana always opts for vintage aesthetics when it comes to a music video. Starting today, I declare myself his new fan.

Marc Benjamin teams up with Taiwanese newcomer RayRay for their sultry, hard-hitting track “My Swag”, out on Protocol. The track ventures into new territory for Marc Benjamin, delivering a fusion of electro/EDM style and serrating trap basslines. Featuring RayRay’s own vocals, this club-friendly sinister tune packs a punch of attitude with its serrating synths and driving bass. Although winter is upon us in many parts of the world, look no further than “My Swag” to heat things up. This is the second collaboration between Marc and RayRay (who has also released on Barong Family and Dim Mak) that follows Benjamin’s previous Protocol release “Show You” from this summer, “Off Road” from Showtek’s Skink label and Spinnin’ Records’ “Pop N Rewind.”

Nicky Romero and the Protocol crew can always be counted on for cutting-edge new music, melding a variety of genres for exciting and unexpected sounds. Their new additions feel right at home with that mantra, bringing a medley of trap, future bass, and electro house to the imprint’s already robust mix while still pumping out plenty of classic progressive jams. Veteran producer Marc Benjamin has a reputable taste for impeccable productions, evidenced in his past successes with his previous collaborations with heavyweights Laidback Luke, Benny Benassi, and Yves V, and his remixes of Zedd’s worldwide hits “The Middle” and “Happy Now.” He’s performed around the world, including Ultra Bali and a 5-year residency at Amsterdam’s club Escape, and released on Spinnin’ Records and Steve Angello’s Size Records. Benjamin’s dynamic productions have piqued the attention of industry heavyweights like Tiesto, Zedd, Martin Garrix, Steve Angello and Avicii. We can’t wait to see what comes next from the Protocol family!
