DJ Concept – Flight Patterns 2 [Album Stream]

To say DJ Concept has been putting in work since the 2012 release of ‘Flight Patterns’ would be an understatement. From collaborations with the likes of Rome Clientel and Planet Asia to a series of solo projects, the Long Island-repping producer/deejay has been grinding nonstop. And that hustle continues with ‘Flight Patterns 2,’ a collection of sample-flipping slappers with a few choice features. As Concept tells it, the creation of the second ‘Flight Patterns’ occurred similarly to the first one, because (as he implies in the title) he created the project during a flight from JFK to PHX. The thing is, it almost didn’t even happen. “TSA made me miss my flight and made me late for my meeting so I was tight,” he recalls, adding that he was so pissed by the time he got to PHX that he didn’t listen to the music for months. When he did, though? “I was like, ‘Damn, these tracks are ill,’” he says, so he sequenced the album and hit up some guests. Those guests include fellow Long Islander John Jigg$ on the aptly titled “So Effortless”; his Dirt Disciples partner-in-rhyme Rome Clientel and singer B. Marshall on standout “The Looking Glass”; and Boston stalwart REKS on the equally smooth and off-kilter “Peep The Essence.” The remainder of the project is completely instrumental, however, there are some snippets of speeches peppered throughout to help tie the whole album together.” Beyond Concept’s sample flips and finely curated guest list, ‘Flight Patterns 2’ succeeds

Danny Matos feat. Samantha León – Bring Me [Audio]

For the final single off his upcoming LP, ‘The Tarmac,’ New York native Danny Matos turns the lens on himself and delivers an impassioned, fiery anthem for anyone trying to make it on their own. “Bring Me” captures the spirit of a young artist on the rise, and anyone who’s said “f*ck it” and left everything behind. “Bring Me” serves as a strong counterpoint and follow-up to lead single “Fought The Devil,” a track that dives into what it’s like to battle depression and anxiety. While those same topics arise on “Bring Me,” this song turns those emotions into power, and propels the protagonist to move and do right by himself. As Matos sings on the hook, “I don’t know where I’m going, but I know I gotta bring me with me.” The track also features a stunning guest feature from Samantha León, a talented young New York artist in her own right. She and Matos form an incredibly musical chemistry, especially over the vibrant, keys-driven backdrop from Rusty Mack and The Red Walrus. “Bring Me” is available for stream, and can be downloaded off the iTunes pre-order link for ‘The Tarmac,’ as the project’s fourth and final instant-grat track.The Tarmac hits digital retailers and major streaming outlets next Friday, August 26.
