Obseen Rhymes With Caffeine, Coincidence? I think not.

Hi ya lil succulent. I haven't done a feature for a couple of weeks, have you noticed? Probs not because you are too busy having the time of your life with the playlists i've been making for you. It's time to cut that out though because I have someone you might want to meet if you like things that are good and fun.

Part of the Wile Out label, Sydney boy Obseen is like the "+ 4 wild card" in UNO. He can work with pretty much anything and when it gets dropped you know some shit is about to go down. The first track I heard from him was his remix of Ice Rink by Cashmere Cat & DJ Mustard and it is one of the best out there. Aside from that, he has been putting out other remixes, bootlegs and originals for about a year now. 

A lot of Obseen's stuff is a forward thinking blend of house, trap and jersey. Buucardi is his latest release, that just came out on the 16th and it's a totally wild . It starts out super dramatic and then rolls into this fabulously daffy hook that when I hear it makes me feel like a fresh prince. I can tell he killed it at lego as a kid because of how well this track builds, or maybe he was more of a building blocks kinda guy, idk. Either way I appreciate it v much. 

Here is some great news for people who do not like to buy music with their precious numbers ($$), Obseen here has generously allowed for people to download his artworks of sound FO' FREE yeiii boiiiiz!! It's like consensual stealing so get around it if you want to feel like a BAMF. 

Expect more fiery heaters from Obseen in ~the future~ but in the meantime you can pretend you are in the future by listening below :) 

Adios, Kritty 4 lyf. xxx

Mid-Week MP3s

Hey swizzle sticks,

It's about that time for another playlist and I thought instead of using my free time to do my assignments, i'd write this instead. So time management could be better but these are the things I do for you, you're so welcome, it really is my pleasure.

Ok class, hands up if you like guitars, keep your hands up. Who likes pop? Woo yeah, keep your hands up. What about electronic beats? Fabulous, keep those hands up. Future bass? Brilliant keep 'em high. Where's my trap king and queens, hands up? Wow look, everyone in the whole world has their hand up. This is perfect because that means everyone in the world will find something they can crush on in the weeks playlist. Mission accomplished, good job Kristy Barker, you've done it again.

Another week, another load of newly harvested tracks. This week the "Australian Made" stamp goes to  S U N D A Y, Female, Feki and Grrl Pal, who are all Triple J Unearthed lil babies and also to Melbourne boy, Air Max '97. All these weet-bix kids are blossoming as I type this and even more as you're reading this so keep you're ears up for more things to come from them.

Have the best time,

Love Kritty xxx

Big Ups // TroyBoi

Shut ya pie holes, open ya ears and let TroyBoi open your world. This week i'm taking you to London town, but like a weird side alley of London that kinda freaks you out at first but then you realise you love it and want to hang out down there with all the other freaks on weekends.

TroyBoi is such a breath of fresh air, also making up half of the production team  Soundsnobz, his solo yolo approach to beat making is so innovative and completely unique, he has created a sound that is immediately identifiable and really sets him apart from everyone else. He produces tracks in a range of different genres, making it quite clear that he has a really deep pocket of influences to draw upon when creating his masterpieces.

I've been following this lad for about 4 months after I heard 'The Messenger' and had a big oof fest over it, then 'Remember' came out and I was frothin' a little bit, 2 months later O.G came out and I starting to crush really hard, one month later 'Do You' appeared online with it's spaghetti western intro that turns into a heavy, dirty trap beat, then there's the Flosstradamus track 'Soundclash', the Diplo and Friends BBC 1 guest mix, then the next day he dropped his most recent track 'Zone' that is a flutey, violin, wild banger. What I am getting at here is it's only up and up for this London boi.

So yeah TroyBoi, remember the name and run & tell that. *Major Lazer sirens* *drops the mic* *checks to make sure it's alright* *it is, thank god* PMPN 8 EZ

Get Ya Freak On, It's The Weekond?

HOLA CITY OF SQUALA!

Hey baby cakes, have you had a rough week? Can you smell the weekend? Does it taste like smoke machines? Are ya hittin' the town, going to a raging house party? Thats great! Let down your top knots gals and kick of those berkies, dudes you can do the same, this weekend is gonna be a good one, I can feel it.

I am here for the soul purpose of enlightening you about all the new fire that is kicking around right now, so you know, you don't have to feel the shame of whipping out your iPhone 4s, 5 at best, and shazaming "your song" when the DJ drops that shit.

Anyway, how's T-Pain, sorry "Nappy Boy", has a new song that was dropped yesterday and it's actually not too bad! So yeah that made it to the top of this playlist. Also M.I.A's new one that was also in last weeks oestrogen filled playlist is in here along with some creepy new Safia, Kero Kero Bonito and Diplo, as well as a few other tracks that I think are super neato.

Ingredients: Sugar Honey Iced Tea, Constipated Overweight Old Ladies.

!! This playlist may contain traces of nuts !! i.e Counting Sheep (you'll understand)

p.s if you think its a coincidence this playlist has 13 tracks, and it Friday the 13th, think again. g2g illuminati need me. bye.

WE CAN DO IT 2

Hey rubber butts, so yesterday was International Women's Day, and as cheerleader for all the gals out there it was an obligation that I make a uterus-only playlist for you. Obviously today is now Monday and therefore it is no longer Womens Day, but girls gotta werk ya'll and better late then never I say, besides I like to celebrate amazing women every day not just on March 8th :).

So in here are 50 incredibly talented and influential women who have inspired me so much over the span of my 18 years of life. These bb's come from all walks of life, some are producers some are vocalists and some are the whole package. If you actually listen to the music I post about on this blog then you will recognise most of these girls (shout outs to M.I.A who dropped a new song yesterday morning!), however some of them may be new to you, especially the ones down the producer end of the woods.

The whole boy:girl ratio in the EDM world is kind of the elephant in the room, I mean it's a bit ridiculous how male dominated it is. However, there are so so many amazing, game changing, trail blazers that are leading the way such as SOPHIE, Alison Wonderland, Grimes, UNIIQU3, Anna Lunoe, and Australia's #1 tastemaker, queen of the showcase, Nina Las Vegas, who is starting to remix and produce some wild bangers herself (with the help of old mate Swick). So take that Coachella ( a.k.a Bro-chella) and pretty much every festival everywhere.

So girls, make sure you're supporting your fellow ovary bearers and guys don't be afraid to champion these fabulous females as well.

Love your girl scout, Kritty xx

p.s Qrion, if you are reading this, just know that your instagram is legendary and also my secret wish was to cross paths with you when I was in japan, next time fair maiden :'(

These Aren't Old, Or Bad

Hey blossoms, this is what i've come home with this week. I've got a nice little variety pack for you and there is a 100% guarantee you will like this one (not refunds). In said 'variety pack' there are brand newies from the likes of Major Lazer - feat MØ (YAAAS), George Maple and A$AP Ferg; as well as a whole lot of others that will tingle all your different taste buds this weekend.

I always like throwing in a lot of local stuff and this weeks featured Aussie bb's are your mates, George Maple, Swick, Lucid, Anna Lunoe, Nina Las Vegas, Sable, Polarheart, Act Yo Age, Chux, Young Franco and KLP!! Be v proud of your fellow aussie battlers because they are all pumping out some A grade tuuuuuUUunes!

But thats enough polly waffle for ya this week, pre-heat your ovens to 180 (fan-forced) and get ready for a good feed.

Love from your pal Kritty xx

Tell Your Raving Grandchildren About : Jack Ü

This goes down smoother than peanut butter. The absolute dream team, dynamic duo, perfect partners, millionaire matchmaker type of shit that is Diplo and Skrillex is all the flavour and energy you will need to get you through this week. I am going to assume that you know both of these EDM heavy weights individual catalogues, but if you don't know who these guys are, you need to educate yourself before you are left behind and miss out on all the bump and grindin' vibes the rest of the world have been expressing themselves to.

So basically, these two dance lords came together to change the world under the moniker 'Jack Ü', the first taste tester they gave us was a track called 'Take Ü There (feat. Keiza)' and if that didn't get you hook line and sinker then you are living an unfulfilled life. Fast forward 6 months and the boys dropped their 10 track album during a surprise 24 hour DJ set and let me tell you, it is nothing short of a walk down banger avenue on the corner of hit lane.

The album features a huge Smörgåsbord board of artist including 2 Chainz, Aluna George and Justin Bieber to name a few. Some of the drops that are going on in these tracks are ridiculous, showcasing both Diplo and Skrillex's signature touches blended into a infectious hybrid that will penetrate your ears and electrify your dancing nerves.


They banged out every track from this album during their DJ marathon, along with heaps of other new releases and a couple of tracks that haven't been unleashed yet by their DJ/Producer buddies. Unfortunately, for all the die hard Jack Ü fans this planned '24 hr marathon set' was cut  6 hours short due to the fun police showing up. But never the less, 18 hours of max boogie time is pretty mad decent. 

So do yourself a favour and get into this Jack Ü album because your quality of life will improve v much once you have this in it. 

Love your glitter bug,  Kritty xx

Weekend Favs - Jan 12

First one back for the new year so I made this an extra special 20 track playlist. tbh you'll probably want to burn in onto a CD for your next road trip. Im sure by now you'll expect some diversity as usual, it's a mixture of a bunch of different things new and old tracks that got me going this past couple of weeks, everything from electronic, to alternative, to jersey club, you better believe it's all in there. Hope you find something that tickles your pickle, floats your boat or feeds your goat.

Love Kritty xx.

WHAT THIS WEEK SOUNDED LIKE - 10 NOV

Hi Hello, I found some new things. Freshly pulled from the soundcloud heavens I have brand new things from JAVASCRIPT,  Two Inch Punch, Kero Kero Bonito and Liv, plus a few ripened ones from Watermät, Lil Silva, Ryan Hemsworth and GFOTY.  I have been doing some serious hunting through various blogs and I have found a new obsession in Beat Magazine ( http://thebeatjuice.com/ ), they really have their finger on the pulse and actively update a  new music page which allows listeners to vote for their favourite new music, this is how I discovered Liv's - Come A Little Closer and I have become addicted ever since. I highly recommend checking it out if you like the feeling of hearing your new fav song for the first time. Anyway I have been super busy lately working on some personal projects of my own, but until I am ready to share those, have a bit of a bounce and a body roll to this weeks playlist!


Love Kritty x

What This Week Sounded Like // 26th October

HELLO HELLO!! So this is what this week in beats sounded like. Lately I have been destroying my sleeping pattern staying up until 5am a few nights, trawling through the INFINITES of new music on Soundcloud and it literally blows my mind how much good music is floating around at the moment, it's also kind of overwhelming. But anyywayyyy these are my top picks for this week. I LOVE THE INTERNET!!!

Love Kritty xxxxxxx
