“I’m going to switch up the format for Save Sunday. If anyone wanted to see what they looked like before, Save Sunday 017 was my favorite over the last year. The new layout will be very different, however I’m still incorporating a monthly mini-mix of sounds I’m feeling. Every month we will select a charity. For every “Like” & “Share” on the original link the day Save Sunday is posted, I will donate 50 cents to the chosen charity. The first charity will be St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital. As a precaution, I will lower or RAISE the amount donated per “Like” & “Share” at my discretion so that there is always a minimum donation every month & to ensure I can do this for as long as possible. Cool, let’s see how it goes. I’ll post a screen shot of the donation transaction, of course.
This is the first Save Sunday I ever did & it’s going to be the test rat for this week. I think it’s appropriate at the end.” -joseph
Ramon Tapia is somethin’ else. His name reminds me of my favorite white (often blackened) fish, and his dry, buoyant, percussion-driven sound reminds me of a paradisiacal alternate universe. You’ll probably see what I mean when you check out his new EP, “Trolley / The Ride,” out now on Skint Records.
Here’s the release announcement from Skint and the streamable EP below:
Ramon Tapia is on the up. With releases on huge labels such as Craft, Great Stuff, Strictly Rhythm and 100% Pure in the last few years, he is turning himself into one of the leading new breed of house producers. We at Skint, are pleased to announce that we have our first release with him which is certain to get the party started as it aims directly at the dance floor.
‘Trolley / The Ride’ are 2 tech infused house tunes layered with percussion and deep driving baselines that would work too well for the peak time hours. Ramon’s productions skills are on fire at the moment that showcase in the support gained from big names over the Miami period.
For once I’d like to go low on the verbiage here and just ask you to check out these six tracks from various underground producers from around the globe. You’ll like the way they sound… I guarantee it!
Some of these are free downloads so be sure to click on the title to cop those ones.

I found Carling Ruse during my daily Twitter rampage, curiously stumbling upon her Soundcloud whilst adventuring online. I was immediately floored. Beautifully woven melodies sing throughout a spacey dreamwave soundscape complimented by dynamic percussion & a tripped-out airy feeling of nostalgia. With only a few pieces uploaded to the cloud, I was inclined to contact her & thankfully she agreed to let me feature her on CYV. Show the girl some love: share, download, enjoy!

For one minute and forty-six seconds, it’s all up in the air. Have Jack Beats abandoned that grimy bass sound that we see visualized in the dripping green slime of their logo?
Alas, they have not. They are more devoted to it than ever, fusing it with some catchy yet tolerable vocals from Donae’o so that even Swedish House Mafia fans will succumb to its craze-inducing, bouncy fidget wobbles!
“You Should Know” will be out May 13th on Columbia Records.
