Hoodboi feat. Julius & Djemba Djemba “Drowning”

Posted on Apr 24th, 2018

LA producer Hoodboi continues his musical odyssey with emotional new single “Drowning” featuring Djemba Djemba and Julius. Hoodboi’s signature R&B inspired sound is given new wings by singer Julius and fellow envelope-pushing producer Djemba Djemba, whose impressive resume includes writing credits for Justin Bieber, Major Lazer and Kehlani, as well as an ambitious catalog of solo releases and remixes on Mad Decent and more. Listen up!

Paper Diamond feat. Ms. Williams “Bass Real Big”

Posted on Apr 20th, 2018

Electronic heavyweight Paper Diamond drops another gem with new single, “Bass Real Big.” This fresh collaboration with Ms. Williams (last heard on heavy jams from Brillz and LAXX) is the latest track from PD’s forthcoming debut album on Fool’s Gold, following the heavy duty “Work 9000” and emotional “Downfalls” featuring Polina. “Bass Real Big” shows off another side of Paper Diamond’s inimitable approach to dance music, more than living up to its title with a double-barreled speaker workout that’s strikingly minimal and wildly confident. A kick, a siren, and a bad-ass vocal, what more do you need? Listen now!

Nick Catchdubs “UFO Style”

Posted on Apr 17th, 2018

“UFO Style” is the first in a series of new singles from NYC DJ/producer and Fool’s Gold co-founder Nick Catchdubs: a concentrated blast of distorted drum programming, hypnotic synths and scratched up text-to-speech apps. It’s the first proper follow up to Nick’s beat-laden Smoke Machine LP (as heard in Apple Watch commercials and Broad City), kicking off a new era of Catchdini’s anything-goes approach to electronic music. To let him tell it: “I love old records, but have no interest in making retro songs. I’m energized by the spirit of New York you hear in Malcolm McLaren’s Duck Rock and Jive Ryhythm Trax, comic books and rave flyers, late night radio tapes and shitty drum machines… to Xerox that feeling would be boring. But putting my own spin on those inspirations is crazy exciting! ‘UFO Style’ is me wondering what it would sound like if The Orb made music for subway dancers. Please play it on a good system.”

Holly feat. Honey Cocaine & Sh?m “Hamm Sammich”

Portuguese production phenom Holly has been taking over the bass scene with his singularly heavy creations, cutting and pasting influences from classic rave, futuristic dubstep and modern trap. After winning the live beat battle at A-Trak’s first annual Goldie Awards in Brooklyn, he’s dropping the devastating “Hamm Sammich” as a reward. A collaboration with infamous female rapper Honey Cocaine and London beat whiz Sh?m, “Hamm Sammich” is a joyously insane speaker workout ready for a festival near you. Grab your condiment of choice and get busy! Bump it here.

Hoodboi “Long Distance”

Posted on Apr 10th, 2018

“Long Distance” is the latest gem from rising LA producer Hoodboi, who is on a hot streak of singles leading up to his Breathing Room EP on Fool’s Gold (out 5/22). Following the futuristic r&b collaborations “Glide” feat. Tkay Maidza and “Tip Of My Tongue” with TZAR (praised by NYLON as “a glossy foot-tapper that packs a seductive punch”), “Long Distance” is a duet with the voice inside the machine: chopped up, stuttering samples and emotive voicemails tell a heartfelt tale over house-inspired piano chords and Hoodboi’s uniquely digital groove. Listen now!

Posted on Apr 6th, 2018

World’s Fair are back to share a new single. “Win4” feat. Jeff Donna, Cody B.

Andrew Luce & Alexander Lewis feat. Jojee “TAKE ME”

Posted on Apr 5th, 2018

Teen production phenom Andrew Luce makes his Fool’s Gold debut with “Take Me,” a collaboration with fellow beat innovator Andrew Luce and singer Jojee. After making a splash with his Daruma collective and hit Soundcloud flips of Drake, T-Pain and more, Luce takes a bold leap into originals on “Take Me,” a mix of clever chord progressions, ecstatic percussion and earworm melodies that set the stage for an exciting year of FG releases. Listen up!

High Klassified feat. Zach Zoya “1919”

Posted on Apr 4th, 2018

High Klassified makes his return to Fool’s Gold today with “1919” feat. Zach Zoya. Over the last few years, this Quebec-based record producer has gone global with his signature sound: a mix of dreamy, video game-inspired melodies and heavy duty drum programming featured by Future and The Weeknd on their hit collab “Comin Out Strong” and Mick Jenkins on his critically acclaimed “Gold.” When he’s not lacing hip hop and R&B kingpins, HK’s own originals on the Fool’s Gold EPs Kronostasis and Palindroma have him ranked alongside trap virtuosos like Mr. Carmack, Sam Gellaitry and Metro Boomin (who HK has collaborated with as part of A-Trak and Lex Luger’s Low Pros collective). Check it out!

Born Dirty feat. G Perico “Face”

Posted on Mar 30th, 2018

Herculean house producer Born Dirty today returns to Fool’s Gold with “Face,” featuring LA rap hero G Perico. BD’s signature sound – tipping it’s hat to UK house and modern tech records alike – is supported by kingpin DJs worldwide. Yet “Face” is unlike anything you’ve ever heard from him before: a propulsive blend of machine gun drums and insane bass, laced by G Perico’s unimpeachable Cali flows. Play it loud!
