RL Grime's 'Core' gets the wonk treatment from DEAD ROBOT

24-year-old Los Angeles native Christopher Garrett, aka Dead Robot, is the type of up-and-comer we love to see here at Gems & Secrets. Coasting off the momentum of his recent remix of the Swedish House Mafia’s Save The World, Dead Robot is showing us his more aggressive side with a flip of RL Grime's modern classic Core. With perfectly curated vintage samples, Dead Robot has added a depth to the song that was not present in the original. To compliment this, he has put his sound design skills on display during each drop in the track, with lead synths and fills that are arguably more wonky than those of Mr. Grime himself. There's nothing we love to see more than a remix that is equally original as, well, the original, and that's what we've seen here today thanks to Dead Robot. Be sure to follow this bass pioneer as he continues to blaze trails in the trap scene with his unique sound and creative spirit!

Get slapped by Karol Tip's huge new track 'Vicious'

Germany-based producer Karol Tip may not be as well-known in the US as he is at home, but his latest release proves it's only a matter of time before he's a household name all over the world. Vicious, out now on Munich-based independent label Crispy Crust Records, isn't the type of trap tune we hear every day. Starting out with a slow drone, Karol builds an ominous atmosphere that soon enters an intense buildup. All bets are off as soon as that wacky drop lead comes into play, resembling an unearthly cross between a tribal woodwind instrument and the barking of a rabid dog. But that's just my take on it - give the track a listen and let us know what it sounds like to you!

Rainer + Grimm's latest goes hard, 'Talk Of The Town' (feat. Plain English)

Rainer + Grimm dropped some fire last week and we haven't stopped listening to it. For fans of that underground drum-n-bass sound and for those who are enjoying the rapidly expanding grime movement, this track is for you. Paying homage to the UK house and garage sound, 'Talk Of The Town' is the perfect example of how diverse and creative the two artists can be with their sound. Hailing from Toronto and origianlly launched in 2014, R+G has released a string of hits including their big break when their Sam Smith remix hit #1 on Hypemachine years ago. We're excited about the new music and we can't wait to hear more!  

"This video was done a lot more guerrilla style than any of our last videos but turned out to be our favourite to date," says the duo. "With the vocals, the beat and the video all come together better than we could have ever imagined." - R+G

'Talk of the Town' is out on Rainer + Grimm's imprint Bleeding Hearts Club.

We're obsessed with this new release from Gracy Hopkins

After a Debut EP and a year full of shows, Gracy Hopkins comes back with his new project "For Everyone Around Rage". The entire project is filled with fire and creativity but one of our favorite tracks from the project is 'Socializing' where we hear a feature from Gracy himself posed as his alter ego, Grizzly. We're so incredibly grateful Gracy landed on our radar. Their discography is nothing short of amazing and after touring all of Europe, we can only hope that Gracy makes his way to the west coast so we can see this star in the making in person.

You'll love this new music video from the multi-talented ANNALIA, 'Dust'

ANNALIA is without a doubt one of the most talented individuals we've featured on our site. Singer, songwriter, producer, dancer, and an all-around wholesome and genuine human being. She dropped her new video over the past weekend and announced her 5-track EP set for release on May 11th. In the new video, we get to see ANNALIA show off some of her dancing skills to a beautifully choreographed dance. 

"I’m making pop songs with a twist... pulling in more real instrumentation and really focusing on my lyrics having depth and meaning. If my fans want to dig deeper, it’s available to them, but they can also just dance along if that’s what they need. It’s a refreshing balance between standard pop and meaningful, relatable storytelling." - ANNALIA
