mp3 | a$ap rocky x ryan hemsworth | thuggin' noise

the latest cut to emerge from the canadian producer extraordinaire, ryan hemsworth, is an abomination of sorts. less of a remix, and more of a mash-up, hemsworth's take on "thuggin' noise" throws the relatively aggressive vocals of a$ap rocky's verse from the a$ap mob's 2012 mixtape lord$ never worry over a dreamy, reworked version of britney spears' "everytime." upon the first couple of listens we remained skeptical but give it a run through and you'll find yourself inadvertently chanting the hook before you know it. like so many successful directors of marketing, hemsworth weaves a twinkling tapestry of infectious hip-pop bliss that burrows it's way into your subconscious. be sure to give it a stream above and snag the (right click, save link as) download here via gorillavsbear.

mp3 | ryan hemsworth | still awake ep

one of our favorite producers to emerge over the last couple years, ryan hemsworth, just released a new (free) ep for you and everyone else:

thank you for downloading this and putting it on your computer laptop iphone palm pilot, whatever, and listening to it while you’re doing stuff in the world. it’s free, so share it with anyone you think would like it. or keep it to yourself. cause it’s for you :) 

while the album marks a subtle departure from his earlier work, it's a perfect fit for the weather and this dreary business we've been working on since yesterday. still awake is a seven track album that ostensibly represents a period of inward reflection and self-exploration in the young artists life and career. deliberate and calculated melodies float weightlessly above the hip-hop rooted bass lines and crisp snares we've come to expect from hemsworth, developing an intricate and endearing soundtrack to a fully realized dreamscape. stream one of our favorites from the album above, (right click, save link as) download it here and head over here to download the entire ep - free! it's still raining and we're still drenched.

mp3 | ryan hemsworth | basedworld

dropped on the artist's soundcloud new year's eve, alongside an endearing and concise "i love you" and a generous link to the download, "basedworld" is the latest track from ryan hemsworth. the cut is an ideal anthem for facing this new age of ours. rarely do we stumble upon such talent and simultaneous humble appreciation from a single artist, but it's encouraging and endearing. we've touted hemsworth as a veritable music god around here, and while it's often foolish to propose such claims, until he fucks up, we're sticking with it. check out the last gift of the year by streaming the track above and grabbin' the (right click, save link as) download here via gvb.

mp3 | mikky ekko | pull me down | ryan hemsworth bootleg

mikky ekko is a name we're not too familiar with around here, but the guy's gotta be doing something right to have tracks produced by clams casino, only to be reworked by ryan hemsworth. if you've been around in recent months, you already know how we feel about both hemsworth and clams respectively. ekko does a stand-up job, delivering solid vocals but hemsworth steals the show, demonstrating a knack for production that sets him apart from an otherwise overly-saturated scene. i tried to not fall in love with this song, and with good reason, but the cut is too clean, with hemsworth cementing his position as one of today's best. stream "pull me down" above and (right click, save link as) download here.
